Emilio's Restaurante and Cantina an experience of bad service I won't forget or patronize again…read more.. due to a waitress who thought because our party was large enough that her gratuity was automatic, and it was ok for her to give us terrible service... we're all going through right now and I tried to give her grace but she (the waitress whoes name I don't remember was rude) With that said... I will say that the young man Carlos was our highlight and awesome with us...The manager Joslyn who assisted us with the bill was helpful and I appreciate her for that.

I have passed this place so many times and had a taste for fajitas so I decided to stop in. I…read moregrabbed a seat at the bar. First off, the service was just amazing here. They are so attentive and accommodating. I appreciated the sense of urgency and politeness of the bartender and everyone else serving food. I ordered a mezcal sour and it was pretty tasty - although sweeter than I had hoped, but I would get it again for sure!! I also ordered the Combo Fajitas - the only thing that I didn't like was they were in a red sauce, but definitely sizzling when they came out. The rice and beans and chips and salsa were all very tasty. I found this portion to be large enough for one person - I didn't have any leftovers. The restaurant is small, bar in the middle, but also live music on the evening I was there, well a DJ playing music actually. It was loud, with some dancing, but I would like to go back to try some of their other specialities. I do have to say the service - excellent!!! Once again - they were just that good!

The server constantly forgot to bring us simple items like a spoon and napkins. Gnats finally ran us away. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY COMING HERE!

Mother's Day dinner was disappointing, especially since we had an early 5 PM reservation and the…read morerestaurant was only about half full. It took nearly 15 minutes for our server to greet us, and our appetizer arrived before our drinks, for this round, only three drink orders total. Throughout the visit, we felt pressured to place our entrée order before we were ready. Once our food arrived, we noticed the enchiladas had red sauce instead of the tomatillo/green sauce we ordered. The food runner insisted the red sauce was tomatillo sauce, which was clearly incorrect. What stood out most was the lack of service continuity. We were seated by the window and noticed our server, Jacqueline, left around 6 PM simply because her shift ended. There was no introduction to another server or any handoff whatsoever. After waiting quite a while with no one checking on us, we eventually had to go to the host stand ourselves just to close out the bill. Our tab was around $200. Rather than dine and dash, we paid in full for the food and drinks, but chose not to leave gratuity based on the experience. The food itself was nicely presented and overall tasted good, but high prices comparable to Chicago do not automatically make a restaurant upscale. If you're looking to overspend on Mexican cuisine while receiving poor customer service, this may be the place for you.

My entree was fish tacos. They were deep fried & a little too done. Almost burnt tasting. I liked the slaw that came on it. They brought out a giant sparkler & watermelon shots for my friend's birthday. So fun & tasty! Can't wait to come back & try something else on their large menu.
