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!
