Emilio's Contemporary Mexican Kitchen

Emilio’s has truly authentic Mexican food! I’m always amazed by the quality and the unique ways they prepare traditional dishes — every bite is full of flavor. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the staff. Rowena is a total pro behind the bar — fast, friendly, and she knows every cocktail by heart. Leilani, Riley, and Lea are just as wonderful! They always make me feel like family and even take the time to make my favorite cocktails “skinny.” It’s such a joy to visit every time. My favorite dishes are the Mini Chicken Tostadas, Ceviche Dos Mundos (it’s giant and delicious), and the Aztec Grain Bowl — I like to add their shredded chicken tinga to it. Their classic quesadillas with shredded chicken tinga are big enough for two people, and the Carne Con Papas is fantastic. Although those are the only things I’ve tried so far, every one has been amazing! My only small complaint is that I think Emilio’s would be even busier during happy hour if they advertised it on their website. They also have a great Taco Tuesday, which isn’t listed online either. I’ve mentioned it to management but haven’t seen it updated yet. I’m a local and would love to see them continue to grow and stay successful — it’s one of my favorite places to go!

We came to Emilio's on a recommendation from a friend. I immediately noticed how classy & serene the atmosphere is. We had brunch. We tried the Carne Asada tacos & the El Vacuero Breakfast Plato. Both were excellent. The customer service & friendliness from their staff made our first time experience enjoyable. We'll be back soon to try other menu items.

Great place for brunch. Authentic flavors and healthy options. Definitely delicious and recommended having the strawberry macha…or two lol very good! Love the tres leches cake with horchata. Servers are great and very easy going. Thank you so much for your service here.

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.

I love this place! Our waiter Leilanie set the vibes as she guided us through the menu. I had the Alebreje cocktail and subbed the grey goose for gun!!! AMAZING! My partner and I shared the family plate… plenty for us plus lots to take home for leftovers! Food was flavorful… And very authentic tasting! Next time we are in town we will be back!!!

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!

The food was super good I would come here again the service is superr nice would recommend

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed--the vibe was fresh, clean, and inviting. This is exactly the kind of spot you want when you're craving great Mexican food. Genevieve greeted us at the door with a warm smile, and her passion for the food and the restaurant was contagious. Not long after, Ashley came by with some fantastic recommendations--and we followed every single one of them! Here's the move: sit down, order the queso (better yet, order two), and just indulge. Worth every penny and absolutely delicious. Then grab a couple of tacos, and if you happen to be there during breakfast or brunch, don't skip the pancakes--they're as good as they look in my photos! Finish strong with the churros. They come fresh out of the kitchen with three incredible dipping sauces, and they're the perfect sweet ending to an already amazing meal. Everything we had was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. And because I rate bathrooms too--bad, basic, or bougie--this one gets a solid bougie five stars for spotless cleanliness. Well done, Emilio's--you nailed it!

Food & drinks were delicious Played bingo and there were prizes Tried every taco and guac and chips was delightful Had dessert and need to come back for another round of food

Tried Emilio's for the first time last night for Mexican Independence Day. I came across their Instagram post about their specials , so decided to check it out! We were seated right away, I thought it would be busy, but it wasn't too bad. We sat at the bar, in front of their live DJ which was nice! Loved the music he was playing. So much so, asked for his info to possibly hire for my wedding next year. The customer service was great. Everyone was attentive, & very welcoming. The drinks were good, & everything came out pretty fast. I took off a star because the food was mediocre. 6/10. Willing to go back to try other items on the menu though. Overall, it was good, && I loved the mystery card pulling to see what giveaway you won. Super cute touch to make the experience different than other restaurants. Hoping the food will be better next time :)

Good ambiance, clean and nice. Great service. Loved the Table side Cafe de Olla Latte with cashew milk and the abuelita's flan. I was not to thrilled about the chilaquiles expected more flavor, more sauce I don't know if chips are made there but not a fan of that plate.

Beautiful neighborhood gem & Amazing food! A little pricey but the place is so nice inside that once you sit down, you'll make sense of it Come here on a date or bring your bestie! Everything was delicious but the Tostada was my fav!! I'll be back, Emilio!!

They have a brunch and dinner menu and the dinner menu doesnt start until 5pm. So when I went we could only order off the favorites and from the taco menu at 4:30pm. I thought the ceviche with fish and shrimp, plantain chips; were delicious. 4/5 The carnitas tacos are supposed to be a favorite but it was reallllly dry :( however $9 for 2 loaded tacos was really not too bad. My friends got the shrimp and carne asada tacos and had a much better experience. Servers were nice but not as attentive for an empty restaurant. Decor is beautiful so great for events but it wasn't really for me.

Let me start with the ambience the place is super cute with a boho vibe, cozy, and welcoming. We got seated quickly, and our server was amazing: friendly, attentive, and always checking in to make sure we were taken care of. We came for lunch, and while the menu is a bit limited, everything we tried was flavorful. I do wish they'd let you mix items from breakfast and lunch, but what we did order really stood out. The aguas frescas were refreshing, and the horchata was especially good creamy, smooth, and not too sweet, just perfect. For food, the carnitas flautas were crispy and delicious, and the ceviche was fresh and bright loved it with the plantain chips!. The guacamole was also excellent and paired beautifully with those same chips. The chorizo with cheese wasn't my favorite too heavy on the cheese, and I think it would've been better with Oaxaca cheese but everything else made up for it. Dessert was the best part. The horchata tres leches cake was flavorful and not overly sweet, though a little on the firm side I would have loved it to be softer. The churros, however, were absolute perfection: crispy on the outside, soft inside, and they just melted in your mouth. Overall, this spot has great service, a welcoming atmosphere, and a fun take on modern Mexican cuisine. With a few more menu options, I'd definitely call it a go-to favorite.

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

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

Went for lunch and still sitting unsure about how I feel, weird I know! Place was clean and they immediately sat us, place was pretty empty for a Friday. The menu offers a sub variety of breakfast and lunch items and drinks. The waiter was great, and attentive and keep checking on us. The food was ok steak was super rare when asking for medium. Our drinks took a little bit to get to us. Still on the fence maybe i need to try again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Emilio's has been a go-to for brunch and dinner catch ups in town. They have three menus: Breakfast (8 AM - 3 PM), Emilio's Favorites (3 PM-5 PM), and Dinner (5 PM-Close). The ambiance is very open and polished. There is a bar area, tables, and booths for seating. The service was great and all of the waiters we kind, attentive, and have great suggestions. We were seated very quickly as a party of two. Now, for the food! We ordered Chilaquiles Divorciados, the Tostada Rosa, Horchata Tres Leches, and two Fresas Con Crema Matchas. This meal was during dinner time, but we were still able to order the Fresas con Crema Matcha that we loved from our previous visits. The chilaquiles had great flavor. If you prefer a more saucy chilaquiles you might want to ask for extra. The Tostada Rosa had so much on top. It's definitely enough for sharing. I also asked for anything spicy on the side and got a salsa de chile de arbol, but it wasn't very spicy. The Horchata Tres Leches was absolutely amazing. Make sure you save room for this perfectly sweet and moist treat. Overall, Emilio's is a great spot for a nice brunch or dinner. I heard they have a matcha flight now so that will be next on the table for a future visit!

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.

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.

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

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 !

My friend and I reserved a spot for their Wednesday game night and we had a blast! The customer service was great and the inside is so beautiful. The food was good def wish it was a full menu but the food was tasty . I recommend to come out and enjoy some fun !

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.

This place is so much fun. The food and service for us were outstanding. We went during bingo and it felt like a really fun low key family game night. I got the shrimp tacos and plantains with guacamole and they were fire. The chips and salsa are amazing also. This spot isn't close to me but I can't wait go back. I don't drink anymore sadly but the drinks looked amazing as well that my buddies got.

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.

Where do you find your staff? Sat for 15 minutes with ONE other table in the restaurant and no one asked if we even wanted water or even came to our table. We left without even ordering. Same crap service as next door. Please figure this out asap if you want $28 for a meal.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Really great taco Tuesday deals and amazingly attentive and friendly staff. Shares the street corn queso dip (delicious) and a couple of tacos and left feeling satisfied. Definitely recommend the carnitas taco with the pineapple salsa! They also have a good deal on margaritas for $22 bottomless starting at 3pm, with some good flavors.

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 :)

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.

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

Emilio's Contemporary Mexican Kitchen is more about appearances than substance. The food came in small portions and was very average at best -- nothing memorable. The cocktails were reasonable, but the mocktails were nothing more than overpriced fruit juice. The service was absolutely terrible, inattentive and dismissive, which made the experience even worse. This is not a place for genuine food lovers, but rather for people who want to take pictures, post on social media, and pretend they're somewhere exclusive. It caters to those who value atmosphere and perception over actual quality. If you're a real foodie looking for authentic flavors and good service, this isn't the place.

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.

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!

Great coffee, blue berry muffin, chips and salsa . Ordered the el burro wasn't greasy like most chorizo is. Super nice and clean inside.

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.

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
