Emilio's Contemporary Mexican Kitchen

This restaurant is beyond delicious. I totally recommend it. The service was good, the food was excellent and the drinks were amazing. We got the kids potato and eggs with a side of fruit. The chorizo burrito. The two flautas(taquitos). The pancakes came with potatoes and eggs. The Concha is probably THE BEST CONCHA ever made. Not even Mexico can bake such delicious concha. Great job!!! Thank you for having such great menu.

Really solid spot! The chilaquiles are the standout!! crispy, flavorful, and comforting. The matcha was absolutely great, and the coffee and cocktails are definitely worth a try too. The tacos were good, but $12 for two is a bit steep. As someone who grew up in Miami, I’ll say the ceviche is decent, but let’s be real, fish in the desert isn’t the move. Stick to the chilaquiles and drinks! you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic food & service, thank you Leah! She was our server and was so kind, and answered all of our questions. My husband is vegetarian and I am gluten free so we were pleasantly surprised to find we were able to try almost the entire menu! If you’re GF I highly recommend coming*** It’s not everyday you find light, fluffy GF churros! We also had the chilaquiles, iced horchata latte, oya coffee, side of patacon with a great green sauce, chicken tacos, queso with corn, everything was delicious! And the price was very reasonable in my opinion, I will definitely come back on my next trip to Vegas!

First time coming here, and it wasn’t too busy in the morning which was great. The space is beautiful with large tables and a fun, modern Mexican style. We tried the Bito’s pancake, chilaquiles divorciados, flan latte, and café de olla latte. The lattes were excellent. You can customize them to your liking and they offer gluten-free options. The pancakes were delicious, and my son really enjoyed them. We’ll definitely be back!

Had such a fantastic experience! The margaritas were absolutely amazing — some of the best I’ve had. The ambience was warm, vibrant, and really set the mood for a great night out. A huge shoutout to Ashley for her outstanding service — she was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend this place, and definitely ask for Ashley if you go!

Emilio’s was a welcomed surprise! We were greeted by Francisco promptly and he was also our server. He explained all the drinks and menu, made some great recommendations, and overall just gave us the best experience for first timers. Emilio’s is newer to the area, about 3 mins west of Durango Station. The atmosphere and all the staff were great. The food, phenomenal! We had the Chilaquiles and the El Vaquero Plate. While the plates were reasonably simple, their house flares to each just elevated them perfectly. The Salsa Macha for the steak was one-of-a-kind! So unique and so delicious. Their house made chips, tortillas, and salsas make this place so unique. Highly recommended!

This place is SO GOOD! Everything was amazing and we had to order two of the guacs. Alex was so sweet and came out to say hi. Staff was amazing from the second we walked in the door and I really got the family hospitality feel that you get in somewhere like Mexico! 10/10 recommend!

Emilio's Contemporary Mexican Kitchen - A Breakfast Dream! Our breakfast experience at Emilio's Contemporary Mexican Kitchen, right as they opened their doors, was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we stepped in, the staff's warm and inviting demeanor made us feel incredibly welcomed. The food was a true highlight, bursting with delicious and memorable flavors. The Bitos' Favorite Pancakes were pure perfection – we're still dreaming about their fluffy texture and the incredible maple cajeta syrup that accompanied them. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Chilaquiles Divorciados, with its perfectly balanced salsa rojo and vibrant salsa verde crema, and the satisfying El Burro. However, the drinks were truly the star of our visit. The presentation of everything, from the Matcha Flight to the Tableside Cafe De Olla Latte and the refreshing Strawberry Agua Fresca, was executed flawlessly. We were especially thrilled to discover a restaurant offering several different matcha drinks in small, perfectly portioned servings – the mango matcha was our absolute favorite! Emilio's Contemporary Mexican Kitchen delivers on all fronts: incredible food, standout beverages, and a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. We can't wait to return! - Suarez Familia

First off, the ambience is amazing. Love the decor, everything is so cute. The service was wonderful as well, our server was sweet and patient. As for the food, most was great. I just feel like there were a few small things I'd do differently about the food: the salad we've ordered at first tasty but was all sour, no different flavors in it. The vegetarian taco was delicious but could have been much better of it wasn't fried, and perhaps wasn't as packed with veggies on top, Overall I'm a fan. Of the owners, of local restaurants, of Mexican food. Will come again

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Emilio's Contemporary Mexican Kitchen is a total gem -- everything from the drinks to dessert was perfection. Chips & Salsa - 10/10 Fresh, house-made salsa that tastes just like my dad makes, paired with warm, crispy house-made corn chips. The perfect start. El Chulito - 10/10 Weber Ranch vodka, Licor 43, vanilla, pineapple, aloe vera juice, and lime juice served in the cutest cactus cup. Delightful, unique, and dangerously delicious. Paloma - 10/10 Lunazul Blanco tequila, ripe paloma mix, fresh lime, and Squirt. Bright, crisp, and so refreshing -- exactly what you want after a hot day. Patacones Montados - 10/10 Smashed plantains topped with avocado salad, pico de gallo, and salsa macha. Crispy, fresh, and bursting with flavor. 100% gluten-free and a must-try. Carne Asadao - 10/10 Juicy grilled skirt steak with guacamole, caramelized onion, and cilantro. Served with fresh tortillas and completely gluten-free. Absolutely delicious. Tostada Rosa - 10/10 Roasted beets, asparagus, avocado, pickled onions, pepitas, avocado crema, and salsa macha. One of the best vegetarian and gluten-free meals I've ever had -- crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor. Gluten-Free Churros - 11/10 Yes, you read that right. House-made churro bites with three dipping sauces. They melt in your mouth and are pure perfection. After 10+ years without a churro due to celiac, my friend was in heaven. Every dish was plated beautifully, made with care, and full of fresh, vibrant flavors. The staff was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere is modern yet cozy. Whether you're gluten-free or not, Emilio's is a must-visit.

Came in for brunch earlier this summer and was so pleasantly surprised! Great atmosphere here with natural lighting and simple decor. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and our meal was better than expected. A friend and I shared the chips and salsa (great salsa, made in house!), patacones montados (think mini avocado toasts but on fried plantain bites), the breakfast burrito (HUGE), and a couple of drinks - horchata latte and cafe de olla. The owners have a few other restaurants and the food quality has been hit or miss for me, but our meal here was great - will keep this spot in mind for a revisit to try their shrimp tacos and matcha drinks.

Ever since I saw photos from my mom's and aunt's visit to Emiliio's for brunch, I knew I had to try it too. The opportunity arose when an out-of-town friend visited. Her, I, my eldest son, and another local friend all went together. Some thoughts about what we ordered: Street Corn Queso: Rather than purely heavy, with rich, melted cheese, this queso has an eloté spin to it. The combination of spiced street corn with fatty dipping cheeses, like queso, was eloquently balanced and tasteful. Tostados Rosa: This is the pretty but petite dish of the bunch--as long as you adore festive veggies. It is absolutely delicious and beyond gorgeous. The beets really give it that ending dollop of oomph-level flavor. Kid's Mini Pancakes: These are especially fluffy and sweet, with cinnamon in their dough, and a cinnamon sauce plus whip cream topping on the side. They're served with some lightly sprinkled berries. Veggie Tacos + Carne Asada Tacos: Although I'm not sure which veggie tacos my friend ordered, both that, plus the carne asada tacos, were juicy and bursting with yumminess. Near the end of our time at Emilios, all of us were playing Kid's Charades with my son. We were regularly getting out of our booth to act out a word on a card with our full bodies. Instead of being bothered by our attention-getting shenanigans, the staff just laughed and smiled. Overall, I had an amazing time at Emilios. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Emilio's is a really nice little restaurant in Rhodes Ranch. We were looking for a place with both a bar and decent food. We were very pleased with the bar, and the service provided by the employees. Unfortunately, the food kinda missed on all dishes. The chips were too oily (and I like oily), the chicken tostadas were not very good at all and cold, the carnitas tacos missed as well with an overcooked hard shell. The el burro burrito was ok. I applaud stand alone restaurants but our expectations were not met here.

This restaurant is lovely! Very cute atmosphere. The entire staff is incredibly kind and attentive but special acknowledgment for the bartender from Hawaii. she made some awesome drinks and was really cool and friendly. I came specifically for the Love Island viewing which was so fun! I loved the bingo, the lei's and the cute menu's. They also had complimentary shots! I mean it was just so great of this place to host the show for us. the only reason I didn't give 5 stars was just the food, could have been better in my opinion but this place is worth checking out.

I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. This is a smaller space, they offer booth/table seating. It's beautiful inside here and the service was amazing. I will say the drinks did take longer but they rectified the situation with how long our wait was. Every dish we tried here was exceptional. The chips were seasoned beautifully (and gluten free!) they were nice and warm and the salsa was the perfect spice and texture. Their drink menu is great and the plating for everything was beautiful as well! The queso dip was delicious too. Had the perfect levels of spice and the queso was cooked to perfection. You can never go wrong with quesadillas and they melted the cheese inside perfectly. I opted for the chicken Al pastor and the chicken was sooo tender, it's enough to share with the table too. I will definitely be back. Thank you for such an amazing experience

I'm almost conflicted writing this review. I'm a really big fan of Mexican food in general, whether it be contemporary, traditional, or Americanized. The majority of the food that I tried here was good and the interior was very well appointed but I really just can't get over the price of everything. $11 for two street tacos is ridiculous. While the entree that I got, the chicken al pastor, what's a lot of food and absolutely delicious, I very much disliked how all of the sides were also extra. It's almost surprising that the chips and salsa were not an additional cost. The drinks are expensive, pretty much strip level prices, but they were tasty. The employees and the manager seem to really care about the patrons here and kept checking in on us and even asking our opinion on the drinks, the food, and the menu font. For the dish that I ordered, I was told that it would take 25 minutes to make. I feel like this should have been on the menu. This resulted in me sipping my cocktail because I didn't want to pay nearly $40 for two drinks. Because I was sipping it, everybody kept asking me if it was bad, which it definitely wasn't. I would like to come back here because it was a very nice place but at this price point, it's a once in awhile tub of establishment for me, and that's if the food had completely blown me away.

After seeing someone's review on TikTok we decided to give it a try since it is close to mom's medical center. Service- 5 stars! Everyone is friendly. From the hostess to the waitress, they all smile and make you feel at home. The restaurant is super cute, good decor, modern, bar looks super fun, you don't feel crowded. Food- Note that we are Mexican so naturally tough critics : ) Carnitas are delicious, conchas are real, the cilantro rice is interesting, tastes like a lot of lemon and not fried before cooking. Chips are fresh made in avocado oil. The winner is the guava empanada and cafe de la olla. Our only complain is the salsas. Fresh but not great. I would experiment with better salsas. Daniel our waiter was very attentive and we loved him. We want to come back for dinner to try all the cocktails !

I was so excited to try this restaurant because I follow one of the owners on social media. Yeah when arriving there the place was so nice from the inside. I thought it was going to be a pricey restaurant, but it was not. The prices are fair. The food has such an amazing taste. literally every single dish that we ordered we killed it. The server was such a great guy and I feel like they help each other. ps Horchata was a little strong. We did water it down a couple times it comes in a small cup, and you can easily pour water into it and make it last longer cause it was a little thick.

We dined in as a party of four and a toddler. Our server was amazing and he was so detailed about the menu and we loved it. The cafe de olla was nice and creamy but it is pretty sweet so keep it in mind. The little cookie next to it was amazing, had to take some home. We also ordered pan Dulce concha's and the guava pastry and we took home to share, so good! The chilaquiles were nice and crispy and the salsa matcha was heavenly. They also give you extra salsa on the side just in case. The steak was nicely cooked seasoned cleanly and well grilled. We are so stoked to return, the new plaza has a gem on its hands.

Love this place, the food and the staff. Beautifully decorated. The restaurant is named after the owner's dad and I loved the special touch on the menu that was Don Emilio's handwriting. The food was delicious, well seasoned and my eggs were perfectly cooked. The cafe de Olla was an experience. My brother ordered the fresas con crema matcha and it was soooo yummy. My sister-in-law ordered the pink tostada which comes with a guacamole Crema and she told them she was dairy free so to skip the guacamole crema. To her surprise they made her a dairy free guacamole crema so she could fully enjoy her tostada. We're very impressed that they are able to accommodate a lot of food restrictions. I will definitely be back next time I am in town.

I had seen this on one of the owners I follow on Instagram but wasn't aware it was this restaurant-until I walked in, (one of my friends recommended). Service was amazing, drinks were fun and a conversation piece and the carne asada tacos were delish. The menu is to the point but has great options and I'm looking forward to going back for brunch. Ashley was our server and both male owners touched all tables and asked how our experience was. All in all a win win and I highly suggest anyone that likes quality ingredients and contemporary Mexican food to check it out! The atmosphere was on point also.

Amazing service with beyond friendly staff! Food was to die for! So good and just the right amount! Love it! The atmosphere was romantic and friendly with a touch of warmth, definite going back whenever possible! Big thank you to Francisco, he was on it, friendly and gave us such great service that will keep us as a customer whenever we come back to Vegas. Note: make sure you ask for salt and pepper the shakers are adorable! Thank you Francisco and thank you Emilio's

We had a beautiful meal at Emilio's this evening. Francisco was an excellent server. The food was so fresh, well-balanced and delicious . The el Jefe cocktail was outstanding.

Finally decided to make a reservation and try again for a visit. Got seated right away and was excited to try. (4/6/25) I should've realized they would have a different menu from breakfast/lunch/dinner- but that didnt cross my mind. My bad. But we still tried some of the dinner option drinks. And they were nice enough to let me order a drink from the breakfast menu. The ambiance is nice and open with a pretty calm environment. They start off with chips and salsa. They salsa is delicious! The chips however have a pretty hefty spice. It did not bode well with the party overall. The chips that come with Emilios Queso and Ceviche is also the same spicy chips. So unfortunately the dips were good but the chips were a downfall since it was too spicy for some of my party. They do have a non spicy option but you have to ask for it specially made. My party decided not to bother. The emilios famous street corn was more of a queso and lacked the "corn" portion. But it was good. We opted for the para todo familia meal with Grilled Broccolini and Patacones. The meats were delicious; chicken and shrimp being the favorites. The salsas were good. The tortillas were definitely home made. And finally the sides. The grilled broccolini had a great char, however the fried patacones were a bit too dry and only the first two were good cause they had garlic.m on it. However the biggest downfall had to be service. It left a pretty sour taste in our mouth and will most likely not be back for a bit. 1. We ordered drinks, and one was a beer that sat on the counter after it was shown to my party and just randomly finally got brought to the table. 2. Water sat empty for about 10 minutes while multiple servers walked by. Finally my party asked due to some spice issues from the chips and it was filled. 3. We were quoted about 20-25 mins for the family order; understood- but 40 minutes later and almost every party around us got food and we got empty plates. 4. To end the meal, we asked for the check and our table was cleared- and it still took 15 minutes for our check AND we had to ask twice. I'm hoping it was an off day, but the service compared to the counterpart Sorellina was a huge miss. Might be a little bit before we come back to hopefully just work through their first couple of weeks. I do want to shout out their manager: absolute sweetest! She made the service the only star that I would give for this experience***

4 stars for the food and service within the restaurant. Minus 1 star for whoever handles their social media/yelp/website. The food was very very good! Great flavors and quality. The tortilla chips were a tad harder than I prefer, but still tasty. I ordered a few things as well as the white sangria which was very refreshing. The gentleman at the bar, Ernesto, is a gem. Very personable, and top notch customer service. Very well decorated place and cute lighting. It was pretty busy when I went in around 1230 pm. I liked the variety of different unique items to choose from. The churros.. wow! Unfortunately, I had to take away one star due to lack of communication. I posted twice on instagram on two diff posts if they had a lunch/dinner menu besides the soft opening one on the website. I never got a response. So then I sent a message on yelp asking if I could see a dinner menu as there is nothing updated on the website. My husband has certain diet restrictions and didn't want to make a reservation if there's nothing he could have. Anyways, someone read it and never responded. The website is pretty basic as well, and when you make a reservation, you don't get a text or email to confirm. So I was hesitant on visiting due to being ignored. Well I am glad I did go, as it was delicious. I did ask to see a dinner menu and there are some possible options, so my husband will be able to visit as well.

Food is pretty good not traditional Mexican but still a great flare. Service was very good price very fairly ambience was very hip. Would definitely go back. Their pop tart they make in house was amazing. Super cool hit place to go.

everything here was phenomenal ! we popped in for the first time and it was absolutely lit. our server was Richard and he killed the game. really pretty and comfy atmosphere, i was transported ! the flan latte and agua fresca (seasonal flavors) were outstanding. bito's pancakes were the greatest thing on the planet, mini tostadas were delicious, carnitas tacos were fire. ordered a La Coquetta (with gin instead of tequila as recommended by our server) and it was so wonderful and refreshing. amazing, we will be back !

Ashley is the best server. Her efforts to go over and beyond for us today was so appreciated. She has honestly such genuine hospitality and you can't teach that The watermelon Agua Fresca is 10/10. The Caesar salad with grilled chicken is a 15/10. The GF churros are 15/10. Perfect girl dinner

Customer service is amazing, the food could be better. We ordered shrimp tacos, chilaquiles with chicken, ceviche, jalapeño caesar salad with shrimp, steak patacones, flan latte, and mango tamarindo agua fresca. The shrimp tacos were cold and bland, the tortilla was thick and breaking, the plating was messy. Not the best thing on the menu. Chilaquiles were ok- the red sauce tasted more like a marinara sauce, the green sauce was nicer, tangy and the slightest kick. I wouldn't recommend paying +$6 for chicken, it was dry, too charred, and a small portion. The ceviche and caesar salad were good. We ordered the patacones with medium well steak, the steak was red and warm in the center. :/ Had to send it back and have it cooked a little longer. Once the steak was cooked longer it was delicious and very tender. Flan latte was mid. The agua fresca was probably the best thing on their menu. Our waiter was super friendly and gave us a couple pastries that were about to get thrown out, it was about 2:30 pm.

We had to try the newest Mexican spot for breakfast. We tried the horchata latte as well as the fresas con crema matcha. The fresas matcha was the best drink I've ever had and would highly recommend. They also had a full bar but we didn't get a chance to try them although they all looked good and very creative. The food was honestly not great the salad was overdressed and slightly salty. The steak was dry and unflavored and the potatoes also lacked depth. I realize they are fairly new so they probably are still tweaking things. I enjoyed the drinks and will probably stop by for them soon and probably skip the food.

The food was amazing. I would definitely come again. Service was 10 out of 10. It was beautiful to see her father on the wall, who inspired her to create this lovely restaurant.

We were immediately greeted by a friendly face. We got seated pretty quickly. It has a very laid back vibe. Nice decor with the gold silverware and not to mention the cute containers their specialty drinks come in. My hubby ordered the Chulito that comes in a cactus cup and I ordered the ay papito which comes in a jarrito. The tortillas are hand made so it gives authentic! We had the corn queso fundido and added chorizo as an appetizer. I got the shrimp entree and this green sauce is magical lol hubby ordered then steak tacos and will be back for more! From what the waiter informed us this is a sweet tribute to one of the owners father Emilio which just adds that family feeling. We will be back! Thanks Richard and Ro for their hospitality! Had to update already because we were waiting on the churro bites dessert and omg it is so worth it. Melt in your mouth churros with dipping sauces!!

The interior design is breathtaking inside this restaurant. Everything from the tables, mirrors, and structure of the walls. Even the dishes and cups were so cute and on theme. The chips and salsa were great. The salsa is not spicy so if you enjoy something hotter please ask the server if they can bring out a spicier salsa option. The ceviche was cooked well but we did ask for some salt and lemon to add some more flavor. The tacos are a decent size and surprisingly filling. I ordered a mocktail that was on the sweeter side named la Reina. I loved that it was a bright red color.

Emilio's is a New Mexican restaurant. My favorite was the carne asada tacos and the cilantro lime rice was delicious. The mini chicken tostadas and the beef taquitos were tasty. Our party made reservations and was seated right away. The server was very helpful and informative. I appreciated that he asked if any of us had any food allergies.

I was going to Main St. Provision but my friend from out of town wanted to try this new restaurant instead. She is inspired by this owner's IG story and wanted to try this food at Emilio's. Parking was a breeze on a Friday afternoon around 5pm. Upon arrival, we're greeted with a friendly staff who didn't have a problem seating us without a reservation given the place was still half full. Loved the airy and bright atmosphere. This place offers a list of unique margaritas and cocktails. They were delicious and quite strong. We ordered tacos, and a guacamole with plantain appetizer to share. The flavors were quite bland except the shrimp taco was more flavorful. There's nothing wrong with the food but they didn't stand out either. The handmade corn tortilla was on the dry side and it's quick thick. If I lived closer, I would probably go for a quick bite. But for special occasions or entertain out of town guests, this wouldn't be my top choice.

Disappointed from start to finish. I was really looking forward to trying this place, but it fell short in every way. Despite it being mid-afternoon and not busy, it took an unreasonably long time just to get our drinks. When the food finally arrived, it was burned, dry, and tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for far too long. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and I won't be returning.

Emilio's is a true neighborhood gem that's quickly become one of my favorite spots. They serve breakfast and their all-day menu is fantastic. We started with the elote dip with chorizo -- cheesy, creamy, and indulgent in the best way. It's the kind of dip you want to scrape the bowl clean. We also tried the flautas, carnitas tacos, and the verduras tacos -- which completely blew me away. The verduras tacos are loaded with mushrooms, cotija, roasted veggies (including these juicy, earthy beets that are to die for), avocado, and this salsa macha I would straight-up drink. The tacos are delicious on their own, but the salsa macha adds this deep, bougie richness that takes them to the next level. I didn't miss meat for a second. The carnitas tacos are light and meaty, and the flautas? Perfection -- crispy, hot, and topped with cool avocado and pico. Every bite was a win. Service is outstanding. We were constantly checked on and never short of chips for our dip. This place has serious flavor and soul. Emilio's is about to see me a lot -- I'm already planning my next visit. Pro tip: make a reservation, especially around lunch or dinner. It gets busy for a reason.

Had a lovely lunch with my son today. Pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor of a local Mexican restaurant we desperately needed 'in the neighborhood'. Great brunch and breakfast options too, can't wait to come back for cocktails! Great shrimp and carne asada tacos-will be back!

Emilio's is a must-visit in Vegas! The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the food quality is outstanding. We had the shrimp tacos, elote dip, and flan - each dish was perfectly executed with fresh, vibrant flavors. Everything was so good that by the time dessert came, my husband and I devoured the flan before we even thought to take a photo. Love that they use non-GMO tortillas and no seed oils. Service was excellent. We can't wait to return to try their dinner and breakfast!

I recommend making reservations. We went on a Sunday afternoon. It was not so busy; however, the wait time was very long. We originally were told 20 minutes, which then turned into almost an hour. The host appears not to know how to organize the parties. Various times we were told we were next and then she apologized saying she had another party that had been there before us; however they had arrived after us. Despite all this, once we were sat, our waiter was amazing. He was on top of it and very polite. The food was delicious!! The chilaquiles portion was just right. They had just the correct amount of crunch. The flan latte was strong and perfectly sweetened. The pancakes were amazing. It was perfect to share with the rest of my table. The cajeta was delicious. The tinga tostadas were amazing. The fresas con crema matcha was just delicious. It was the perfect mixture. Everything was so fresh and perfectly made. I will definitely visit again and make reservations online :)

Emilio's Mexican Restaurant has a great happy hour every day 3-7p and Taco Tuesday 3-7 Bingo Wednesdays at 5 pm free Great food and service Manager Courtney is fantastic. She makes you feel so welcome

I enjoyed the space,the decor and the relax environment. Our food was good, our server Danny was very nice and attentive. Drinks took a few minutes to come out as well as the check when we were ready to leave. These are the only reasons why a 4 vs a 5 review. Would I go back, it was a hike for us to get there so it would not be a regular spot for us simply 2 far, but I am glad we went. Would I recommend Yes.

We had an amazing time at Emilio's! The service was truly out of this world -- our waiter was funny, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. The food itself was good -- some dishes were really good, while others were honestly just okay. My biggest frustration was with the pan dulce. On TikTok and social media, it looks like they're walking around offering it generously, but in reality, each concha is $6 for a very small piece. Honestly, I've had better pan dulce at places like La Bonita, so it was a bit disappointing. For four of us, the total bill came out to $213 (about $71 each, split between three of us since my younger sister wasn't paying). We didn't go over the top -- no alcoholic drinks, just one drink each, an entrée, a dessert, and a pan dulce (which we didn't realize was $6 each until after). It felt a little crazy for what we ordered, and I wish the pricing had been more transparent upfront. We talked about maybe coming back, but it's definitely on the pricey side, and there might be other brunch spots in Vegas with food just as good at a better price point. If it weren't for the unexpectedly high bill, I'd totally give it 5 stars -- the service alone deserves it!

Food was fresh and delicious. Ambiance is cool and casual and that staff are helpful and friendly, specially our server Francisco ( if i remeber correctly) who was very attentive, friendly and always willing to explain to us the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant.

This place is so pretty and the staff very attentive, the cocktail that I ordered was delicious , but I felt the ceviche that I ordered was overpriced for that tiny portion, and lack of flavor, you'll have to order another dish otherwise you'll be still hungry, and I eat like a toddler! The Tres Leches dessert was ok. I want give it a second chance and try their breakfast menu since I love Cafe Lola

It literally took 10 mins before our server took our order after we arrived. Waited 37 mins for a latte, the bartenders were doing nothing. Restaurant wasn't busy. Owner pop up but they are all so worried about their TikTok content. Than to provide great service. We are restaurant owners as well and this was our first time coming here. And that's not a great impression if you are not busy

Room for improvement. Came for dinner with my wife. We were so excited to try this after seeing all of the amazing dishes on social media. We were greeted and seated promptly on a Thursday night. We were seated at a small table against a wall away from other tables but somewhat in the walkway. No big deal, we didn't have reservations, but the restaurant wasn't exactly busy. Our server, Rufio, did a great job explaining menu items, and convinced us to get a beer and margarita, which were really good. Speaking of Rufio, he's the only staff member that ever made an effort to acknowledge us, after being seated. We sat at a small table in a walkway. I looked up smiling at every staff member as they passed by frequently. I was facing the front of the restaurant, so maybe I only caught staff as they were heading to the kitchen to buss dishes back or retrieve dishes for other guests. I observed 2 staff members, a lady whom I think introduced herself to another guest as the general manager, and a guy in a blazer with Jordans. I felt invisible to them. I observed the lady sit with an older couple that she seemed to know very well, and just slouch, overwhelmed, as if to tell them that she was exhausted. I observed the male do a few handshakes and thank someone for coming by. I was hoping to get a chance to compliment him on those shoes but when I tried to get his attention, he continued past me. Similarly, I felt like the lady got spooked as she made eye contact with me (not exactly sure, because she moved her eyes away real quick). Maybe they were just both tired and overwhelmed? I just wish we had a more welcoming experience for what I'm guessing is a family business. Hospitality. That's what makes this town great. Not influencers. Not your invited friends and family. After the dust settles on the shiny new restaurant that's been built, there is an obligation to the community that they are now a part of. The food was good. However, there's a very important element in one of my attached photos. Our food was served prior to receiving our water, beer, or margarita. I logged the times between receiving food and water and beverages, but opted not to include that because I did see Rufio making the effort to correct these very minor mishaps. The guacamole, ceviche, and flautas we ordered were very good. But I can also walk into a dozen restaurants in the area and get similarly very good Mexican food. Restaurants that have been around for decades have proved to be staples in this valley. ("LM", "CDJ", etc). Not to mention, the new wave of Mezcal bars and places attached to new resorts. I know it's not fair to compare food because I do understand this is contemporary Mexican, but hospitality is on another level at those places. I'm would like to make it for breakfast soon, and hopefully update this review, but this experience isn't exactly twisting my arm to do so.

Must try spot for a unique breakfast with great coffee and tea drinks and plenty of fresh food options! I will be back for the Iced Horchata Latte. It was unbelievable. My friend and I were seated quickly (definitely make a reservation) and service was good. A little slow but our server was very nice and it gave me time to catch up with my friend. I ordered the Patacones Montados without any extra toppings and it was the perfect bite. The plantains were crisped up perfectly and not greasy at all. If you love avocado and pico you will enjoy this dish. My friend ordered the El Burro and that is definitely a must! I also loved the chips and salsa brought to the table. The chips were freshly made and not even greasy. This restaurant has character and definitely a lot of attention to detail with the drinkware. The inside was bright and airy, inviting. I will certainly be back. It definitely is a little further up than I anticipated coming from Henderson but it be worth it for just the Horchata latte.

Came here with my family food took forever to come out on top of that the tortillas were hard the shrimps were the smallest shirmp ever and food came out cold definitely not worth 100 server told us it was enough for 4 people which I laughed when I seen the plate. The family plate is a rip off won't be coming back here. This is an over hype place on instagram and social media don't fall for it streets tacos are way better this is definitely not an authentic cuisine it's pretty washed if you ask me. Salsa is bland as hell. However Michael was great when our concerns were brought up and offered dessert service is great on that aspect .

The place is beautiful , and great customer service . Let's talk food Chilaquiles were dry , it says red sauce and green but it was just thick green sauce over chips topped with an egg and chicken breast (optional ) not even enough sour cream to Make it somewhat soft to eat . Just think tortilla chips topped with a piece of dry chicken and a scramble egg. For $28 dollars The concha was so good . The cafe de Hoya was not cafe de Hoya - it is extremely sweet & it is half empty when it arrives and topped with cold oatmilk it is not steamed :( (extra $4 for oatmilk ) my hot coffee was cold . Had to ask the waiter to pls add regular black coffee to warm it up and cut the sweetness . We sent the plain "cafe de Hoya back and ask for it to be replaced with basic black coffee but was still charged cafe de Hoya price . Kids steak tacos were good . I am not sure if I would come back .

The food was delicious and the Red Sangria was divine! Service was excellent. Will definitely be back.

Loved this place! Super cute & great for a girl's night if you wanna grab some cocktails and appetizers. We got the white sangria and ay papito, which tasted amazing! Very reasonable pricing as well and our server Val was very quick & attentive.

The design of this restaurant is gorgeous, I felt like I was in Mexico. I couldn't stop admiring how pretty it was! We ordered the flan latte, Mexican mocha latte, cafe de olla latte and the fresas con cream matcha. They were all delicious and had the sweetness balanced perfectly for my palette. I forgot to take pictures of our food but we got the chilaquiles and el burro. Everything was so good! If we lived here this place would definitely be in our rotation. We sat at the bar and our bartender was very attentive and kind. All the staff was very sweet and attentive. This spot lives up to the hype!

This was our first time visiting Emilio's, and overall it was a positive experience. We had previously been to this location when it was known as Mama Birds, but Emilio's is a complete redesign -- a huge improvement in terms of ambience and atmosphere. It feels like a totally different, more polished restaurant now. When we arrived, we were greeted by the host, who seemed a little overwhelmed and distracted. We had reservations, but he struggled to get us seated smoothly. Oddly, he only had one menu available and said they would have to print more -- definitely a first for us at any restaurant. He promised to bring menus over but got sidetracked and never returned. We flagged down another employee to ask for more menus, but again, nothing. Thankfully, our server -- whose name I unfortunately don't remember -- completely turned the experience around. She had a fantastic personality, was very attentive, and had menus in our hands within a minute. She was definitely the rockstar of the evening. Drinks were a strong point. We ordered margaritas and sangrias, and whoever was behind the bar did an excellent job -- both were delicious and well-balanced. The chips and salsa arrived first, and the salsa had a nice kick to it with great flavor. For starters, we shared plantains, cilantro lime rice, and a few other appetizers -- everything came out hot and tasty. Entrées were also flavorful across the board. I ordered the Camarones Verde. The shrimp were slightly overcooked, but the flavor of the sauce made up for it. All in all, Emilio's has a lot of potential. The food and drinks were solid, and the environment is a major upgrade from what it used to be. With a little more polish at the front of house, this place could easily become a regular spot for us. We'll definitely be back to give it another try!

We tried this place with a few friends and we were all very disappointed. Wish I could say it was one specific thing, but it was everything. The service, the food (cold, and not as flavorful as expected).

I would've docked some stars because the timing of our food coming out, which took a little longer than expected, but Michael was super apologetic and adjusted our bill accordingly! They had a happy accident in the kitchen and gave us a free steak quesadilla! Overall pricing was a little steep but the quality was good! I myself got a quesadilla with added chicken! It was super filling (i didn't finish it and took it to go lol)! I also got rice on the side and that was great as well! My friend didn't really enjoy the chicken tacos since they tasted oddly sweet, but overall quality was great! The vibes of the place were nice! Calm and relaxed and great for conversations. Shout out again to Michael and Aiden! We came out for a birthday celebration and because of the delayed timing for our food coming out they gave us 3 complimentary desserts to try! Aiden informed me and was super flexible with adding someone to our reservation, and Michael was very empathetic about the happy accidents that happened. Although this is probably our only time coming out since we're from Cali, definitely recommend for the quality of the food! If we're back in the area in the future we might try their Italian place!

While visiting in Vegas we stumbled upon this quaint Mexican restaurant . We were greeted by a very friendly host. Our waiter Francisco was exceptionally charismatic and professional. He shared the highlights of their menu and promptly brought us our drinks. Our food was delicious as was the strawberry matcha drink and the cafe de olla. We would definitely return to enjoy another pleasant meal. Highly recommend you go visit Francisco at Emilio's !!
