Emilio's Tacos and Tequila

Came here a few nights ago for dinner with friends. Our servers Carlos and Anthony were superb. Very attentive and made sure we had all we needed throughout our dining experience. We ordered the wings which were tasty. Many people ordered variations of the Nachos with different meat options some chicken and others beef. I ordered 2 Birria tacos and another person in my party got shrimp tacos. The food left something to be desired and was not our favorite. Also the tacos were very small. I paid $7.45 for each taco and I thought they would have been a bit bigger but they were more on the mini side. The drinks were amazing however, 1000/10 for those. Emilio’s is a beautiful restaurant with excellent staff. If you want good drinks give it a try, but they food can be hit or miss and may not be worth the value for what you pay.

It's rare that I give 5's out but this place deserves it on the first time there today. There staff was super friendly and accommodating The food was very good and consistent, great portion sizes. The drinks were good and good sizes for happy hour. We went during happy hour so the prices were decent. You can only get some margaritas on ice and some flavors frozen. We sat on the patio which has a 90 min wait time but it wasn't crowded. They do valet for the first hour as well from the deck on 13th street. I will definitely be back for a second try and I hope it is still consistent with today.

Place is nice but food is mid. I had the bowl and couldn't finish it... No seasoning. Only good thing was the trio. We were also over charged for the tacos on TACO TUESDAY. ( caught it late) our server literally had bad customer service and we all were looking for her in our section. Drink selection mid too, also my wife validation on parking didn't work. Definitely not a spot I'll come back to on my own.. If a friend has a dinner there I'll eat before I come.

Wow! what a nice surprise. Everything here was absolutely amazing and delicious. Never expected authentic Mexican taste at a restaurant in this area. The house margarita was perfection. My husband and i kept saying wow after every first bite and every first sip. It was actually quite amusing but it was just so unexpected. We had the guacamole salsa cheese trio. A pitcher of the house Margarita birria quesadilla enchiladas verdes with tinga rice and charro beans and a blackened shrimp taco. Everything was so good!

Atmosphere amazing the parking location excellent. The restaurant is located off West Peachtree Street the parking is literally located around the corner of the building. From the parking deck signs located inside pointing direction of the businesses located in that building. Walk out to your left another sign for the restaurant. Covered parking deck staff on duty you get up to 2hrs max free just take your ticket in they will validate up 2hrs. We arrived pass 8pm there was no wait to be seated. They have room to accommodate inside a mid upper level, outdoors. They have nice size tvs for sports, music a vibe. We sat outside the ambiance was perfect. Our server was wonderful took our orders kept the drinks coming. For the location I felt the prices were reasonable. Drinks were on point. Our food wasnt under or over cooked. I had the birria quesadillas excellent the gravy was on point with a nice little kick to it. We really enjoyed ourselves family night out, watched the GA Bulldogs and ate good. We didnt leave close to closing. I heard about Emilio's restaurant from IG im always looking for somewhere different to eat and support good business. I overlooked the few negative reviews positive outweigh the bad. I'm glad we went we had an awesome time. Definitely would recommend. Everyone there just ate enjoyed. Definitely will be back!

Our bartender Esha was absolutely awesome! Seriously, she killed it. ​She was super attentive—our glasses were never empty, and she always seemed to know exactly when we needed something without us even having to flag her down. The drinks were great; she definitely knows how to mix a cocktail. ​More than that, though, she was just incredibly friendly and welcoming. She made us feel right at home and kept the mood light. It made the whole night a really good time. ​We'll definitely be coming back and hoping she's working!

Food was good, service was ok thought they’d be more attentive seeing the restaurant was kinda empty because it was early. Drinks were good also, would definitely return and try again.

We came here during happy hour around 4 pm. On week day, everything was half price. We really enjoy the food. Tacos were delicious and Tortilla chips were served in big portion with Salsa verde and Salsa rojo which was so good!!!. The cheese dip also amazing. Taquitos and Guacamole were also delicious. The atmoshphere was good to hang out with friends and family.

We got the birria quesadilla and street tacos. The food was phenomenal and the wait staff was amazing. Very nice ambiance as well. Will definitely be back. This will be my new go to taco/mexican spot.

Recommendation from hotel across the street. Mid afternoon and only a few folks. Sat at the bar. Corey was behind the bar. Super friendly. Tons of drink choices. I chose ice tea. Ordered the wings. Corey suggested sauce on the side. I love wings. I'm picky about wings. I'd come back just for the wings. Smoked. Crispy outside. Moist and tender inside. Seasoned perfectly. You really don't need the sauce. But. The chipotle sauce was amazing. Strong flavors, a little goes a long way. I'd suggest following Corey's advice and get the sauce on the side and just dip or drizzle. Wow. Note: 3.5% add-on for credit card

1000% Yes!! *Service- We sat at the bar and the service was outstanding. *Ambience- The place is decorated so nicely with lots of vibrant colors. *Food- Marvelous legit this is my new favorite place -Chorizo Queso 10/10 -Guacamole 10/10 -Empanada 10/10 -Quesodilla 10/10 I added a little salt to the barria sauce but the meat is tender and flavored - Margarita Flight 10/10 strong

This restaurant is probably new. We thought we would give it a try. Right away they stood out with their attentive service, their cleanliness was on point, and the food was properly good. We got the nachos; a very savory size appetizer. Then we got the carne asada quesadilla and the birria quesadilla; if you love meat get the latter. Overall pretty Good (: Thumbs UP.

Came back for a second time and we were not disappointed. Carlos took care of us and everything was great! We got a great birthday singing but no dessert or drink was given so I had to hold up the candle at the table. Overall food here is always great very quiet on Mondays but no complaints on that because the food speaks volumes and so does the drinks! Definitely a place to check out after work or like us have drinks and eat with happy hour between 4-6!

I joined some of my co-workers here for a bite to eat after arriving in Atlanta. We were all staying at the same hotel across the street. The atmosphere is very inviting and the staff were so friendly. I enjoyed a plate of street tacos, some chips and salsa. Every bite was absolutely delicious! My friends and I sat up at the bar, so there was constant activity, lots of laughter, and just a fantastic experience. The drinks are solid! Although they didn't offer daquiris, I had a margarita that was on point! I am so glad I accepted the invitation to join the girls, we had a blast!

This place was the best dinner spot. All the food was really fresh and tasted amazing. The service was so friendly and attentive. It was a fun place, lots of people just hanging out with friends, having drinks and enjoying a good meal. 10/10 would recommend the birria tacos and the fried chicken quesadilla!

Definitely add to your list. Love that they have validated parking, the deck is for the epicurean hotel so look out for it, you do have to come out of the deck and walk around the corner to get in! Love the vibes and decor inside, expansive menu and ridiculously quick service during taco Tuesday lunch time! Tableside guac is a must, and the fajitas are great!!! Churros were perfect for dessert and our server had the most upbeat and friendly attitude! Definitely will be back!!

First of all, I've always wanted to be able to walk to get a margarita. That time has finally come for all my midtown folks. I've been exceptionally fortunate Emilio's to open up ever since I saw them renovating the space. I was immediately greeted by Paula at the bar. She was busy helping other customers but made sure to quickly acknowledge me as I sat down. She brought over a menu and water as she made drinks for other guests. When she came back I ordered their spicy margarita (No Lo Siento) and Paula asked if I'd like to add a flavor. I went with strawberry and it didn't disappoint. A good amount of heat balanced with nice flavor. Not too sweet, not too spirit forward. The chips and salsa were as good as chips and salsa get. Fresh salsa, crisp and fresh chips. The diablo shrimp wasn't as spicy as I was expecting. My margarita had more heat then the food. I sprinkled some lime on top to add a bit of pop for flavor. For $26 it was a good portion of food. The space is nice. Plenty of tvs, music not blaring in the background and huge open garage doors at the bar for a nice indoor/outdoor feel. Excited to come back and try their tacos!

We stopped by here for a quick lunch. The place has a great vibe to it, it was pretty empty when we were there, but you can tell that it probably gets very lively at the right times. Our server, Mark, was great. Helped us through the menu and went back to the chef when he didn't know the answer. The chips and salsas were excellent ( especially the green avocado salsa). I ordered the Birria Quesadilla and it was awesome and huge.Flavorful with just the right amount of heat. The charro beans are really good as well. We need to come back and sample the extensive tequila menu. Great spot!!!

Great spot for a nice dinner. They have an outdoor patio which we took our dog too he loved it. The doggy water bowl is always a nice gesture. The service is great, friendly and accommodating! I ordered the nachos, my girlfriend ordered the tortas which she enjoyed. My only gripe with the nachos were the chips were a little thin so they got soggy fairly quickly. Also to note that this isn't an average tex-mex place - no free chips/salsa! They do have it available for purchase for 4 dollars however. We also ordered a pair of fairly priced beers on draft. All in all, this place is trendy, the food is enjoyable, and prices are a hell of a lot better than nearly Colony Square.

I visited Emilio's for the first time and it was a fantastic experience. We started with the Tres Amigas as an appetizer, and for my main dish, I chose the Taco Plato with a blackened shrimp taco and a Baja fried fish taco. My husband went with the chicken tinga enchiladas and he enjoyed his dish as well. It was a casual atmosphere and would be a great spot to hangout with friends. Our server was also personable and provided great recommendations!

If you're in Midtown Atlanta and craving incredible tacos and tequila, Emilio's Tacos & Tequila off 11th Street is a must-visit! The atmosphere is lively, the food is absolutely delicious, and the customer service is top-notch. A huge shoutout to Kori at the bar ~ he's phenomenal! His energy, attention to detail, and spot-on drink recommendations make the experience even better. Whether you're there for happy hour or a casual night out, Emilio's never disappoints. Don't walk ~ run to check it out! Thank me later!

The food is excellent!!! The portions are perfect.. for lunch. A quesadilla can be shared if you get chips and one of the dip offering. They have specials every day of the week Monday through Thursday so look for them on the menu.. of course Tuesday is taco Tuesday and the tacos are cheap cheaper. They have a great happy hour from 4 to 630. I think but call to make sure.. they have a huge bar and you can eat at the bar if you're going alone. The frozen market readers are out of this world.!! Try the passionfruit margarita for sure! They also have a regular non-frozen list of margaritas and the spicy margarita is one of the best! They have an outside area in the spring and summer, but it's not huge. The inside vibe is vibrant fine and the service is excellent. All the waiters and waitresses are very friendly, which makes for a good time for everyone even if you're alone. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's a great addition to Midtown! They have a sister restaurant called McCray's.

Emilo's Tacos and Tequila has been open less than week in the Heart of Midtown on the corner of 13th street adjacent to the Moxy hotel. The ambiance is very chill and relaxed the space is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The service was quick and professional. Our server Kendrick was very welcoming and engaging.. the food was pretty good I ordered the chicken quesadilla with sour cream and guacamole minus the Pico. My only complaint was the dish came out lukewarm. Emilo's is a great addition to the Midtown area. If you're looking for something quick for lunch or dinner Emilo's hours are 11a-11p on weekdays and 11a- midnight on weekends

Food is tasty but, in my judgement, very overpriced. The server was attentive but, like a number of restaurants these days, presented my bill on a handheld computer and stood there until I presented my card. Upon processing my card I was provided the option of selecting from 3 tip amounts...15, 20 or 25% all under the watchful eye of my server. The ambiance is pleasant, particularly the bar area but I couldn't help feeling as though every aspect of my dining experience was driven less by my enjoyment and more by how to maximize profits.

Sat outside, gorgeous patio, very nicely done. Nick the bartender very attentive, good service. We split an order of taquitos. Delicious! They weren't as hot as they should be, but I'm sure management will work out things like that as they get past their opening. So happy to have Emilio's in the neighborhood. We will be back!

I loved this place! The environment was clean and such a vibe. I'm pretty sure it's a new place, but the servers were so sweet and attentive. The food was soooooo good. Everything was 10/10 from the drinks to the food. The shrimp tostadas were sooo good, I should've gotten more. I loved the Blackened Shrimp Taco.

This restaurant is located across the street from my hotel, Moxy. I never, ever go to the restaurant located across the street from my hotel (or to my hotel). In fact, I walked the entire neighborhood and eyeballed every menu of every restaurant that I looked up that had fewer stars than this location. And... then I returned to Emelio's because the atmosphere looked amazing compared to, local restaurants, for example,Tin Lizzie's. I had the Carnitas plate and my first bite was absolutely out of this world! I never give superlatives for the food. The food was awesome.! The service? I was in & around the bar. My bartenders were Vic (Vivian) & Nick- they're beyond top notch it done silly cliche like that. Viv is great conversationalist & she represents so well. Nick is great as well. The restaurant itself is pretty great. I'm an advocate of ambience over food. This place somehow has the trifecta! It had great food, great atmosphere and great service - particularly, great services! It's a 5.5 for me!

Food was excellent. Service was ok. It took some time to be greeted after being seated.

Cho'sun is the man. Appreciated the service. Pre bussed the fuck out the table. Drinks were amazing.

The ambiance is nice but overall leaves a lot to be desired. First thing the holy guacamole is actually mostly queso. Which is fine but don't name it holy guacamole. Also I received the wrong entree and while they fixed it when it came time to pay they tried to have me pay for something I didn't order and got upset when I didn't want to pay more for something I didn't order. Food was mediocre Tex mex food at a higher price point due to the Midtown location.

The food was really great and the people at the bar were so nice to me while I waited for my food. The carne asada dish was beyond amazing and the restaurant was vibing.

Stopped in for a late lunch as I had just arrived at my hotel (Moxy) across the street. Service was friendly and prompt - I got the chicken fajitas, which were very tasty and a huge amount of chicken. I would have liked to see more cheese and other fixings included (it was literally a teaspoon of shredded cheese). Also only 3 flour tortillas, probably should have added another couple given the sheer amount of chicken. Only other thing - music was blaring at 2:30 on a Monday. This is just preference on my part - but I couldn't hear myself think. I didn't try any drinks so I can't offer an opinion on that.

Tacos were Okay. With so many options for tacos in the city you need to make it amazing.

Absolutely amazing food, service and top notch drinks. The vibe is also a whole vibe!!!! And they are consistent..... absolutely recommend!!! Thank me later. Ask for Kori, he's the best bartender by far!!!

The food, the service, the atmosphere were all 100%!!! We'll be regulars here!! Chosen was our server, and he knocked it out of the park!

This place is so great!! The food, the spicy marg!, atmosphere, service. Mark was an awesome server. Also found out they have a mariachi band on Thursdays, can't wait to go back.

Love it! We go back whenever we can. Everything is great. All of their margaritas are "skinny", no fake margarita mix. Steak quesadilla and steak fajitas are to die for.

Amazing food, service, and drinks!!!! This is a must-try!!! 10/10'! Please try the birria, fish tacos, pork belly tacos... they are awesome!!!!

There was no one at the hostess stand when we arrived and we waited for 5 min before seating ourselves. The server knew nothing about the menu. The Mexican Cobb salad was mostly iceberg lettuce so that was disappointing. The carnita taco was a bit dry but the sauce helped. We asked what sauces were brought out and the server had no clue. Service was slow and we had to ask the bartender to have our server bring our check. Overall I wouldn't recommend.

Great food Modelo on tap and very nice margaritas. Clean and super nice staff. Coming back soon. Well done!

Nice lively vibe, seating choice indoor and outdoor, dog friendly patio , great staff, great food, welcoming, open lateish
