Reviews for Emiliano's Mexican Restaurant & Bar (South Side) in Pittsburgh, PA

Each time I've been here, the food is absolutely delicious!! I rarely give 5 stars, it has to REALLY be exceptional and they... truly are. Food comes out super quick, it's super hot, fresh in every way and I've yet to have to send anything back because ofa mistake or something. And I'm the queen of a polite send back! Even my husband is impressed and he's hardly ever impressed,I'm not nearly as bad as him, not by a long shot. It's clean too, I'm mindful of cleanliness, the salt shakers being clean, etc.and they fire off on all cylinders at this location. Definitely worth regular visits. Read more

Absolutely one of the best Mexican restaurants in the city that offers tasty food at a decent price. The service is also pretty... impressive. We had a great time here and will come back or try other locations in the area. Read more

Food: fresh, tasty. Service: quick, servers very helpful. Location: convenient, parking on the street. Seating: only indoor... seating. 10-12 tables. Tried enchiladas, quesadillas, guacamole, and fajita. All good. It's a good option if you are nearby. Read more

I rarely give five star reviews but Emiliano?s is so good; maybe the best Mexican restaurant I have been too. The chips and... salsa are awesome - the salsa is so good. The steak tacos are overflowing with steak and the Emilianos Fajitas are so good -they have cheese and bacon. How can you go wrong. Great food, decent prices, and good service. You won?t be disappointed! Read more

I had 2 shots of tequila, a margarita, queso fundido and churros, all cost me almost $50 + gratuity. The margarita is very good... and strong if you like it that way, queso fundido for me was ridiculous the amount you get for the price you pay, very little,for a very standard dish, not special at all and pricey. The desert, churros with some ice cream, was okay too. It?s a goodenvironment if you like Latino music, and drinks, drink have good value! In my opinion I just find it more on the pricey sideand flavor is not special, there are many small Mexican restaurants that you get good value and flavor. Service wasn?t bad, ourserver was very sweet, it was just very difficult to hear her over the loud music. Read more

First time at Emiliano's for lunch and we were greeted with beautiful decor, great music and immediate, friendly service from... the maitre d. We ordered an appetizer & salad to share. The avocado salad of mixed greens with cilantro lime vinaigrette &grilled chicken was fresh, bountiful and delicious. The Queso Fundido was an amazing blend of cheese, chorizo & sliced redonion sauteed tableside with a flurry of sizzling bubbling steaming flavor. A salad and app that were tasty & filling, we couldbarely finish the meal. FIVE STARS Read more

Overall good. Great salsa and queso. Shrimp tacos had a great taste but the portion was small for the price. Enchiladas were... decent. The rice was alright but the beans were inedible. The margaritas are super strong. The sopapillas were decent, but theflan was burnt. If the beans and flan weren't so bad I would've given it a 5. Read more
