Emilia's Restaurant

There are three Emilia's all are good in certain areas. The Emilia's on Elizabeth st. Is awesome at breakfast there lunch not so good . The Emilia's on South Padre highway and price next to Jack in the box is awesome at lunch plates . The big Emilia's a little further down always has parking that one is a hit and miss on breakfast and lunch they got some great plates for breakfast but not that great barbacoa super greasy and a lot of fat. Lunch we ordered the fajita Guadalajara and it was not good at all didn't even come in molcajette

We were in the area for lunch, so we went to the South Padre Island Hwy location since it's bigger and the parking options are better. This was around 1:30p.m. so the lunch rush was over and we had no problem finding a spot. Our server was helpful and efficient and since this was our first visit, really patient. I ordered the cheese entomatadas with a jamaica drink and my husband ordered the carne guisada with lemonade. I enjoyed the entomatadas, the serving size is generous, there's 4 of them, so I only ate 3. The plate comes with beans and rice which were pretty good too. Unfortunately, my husband was disappointed that the carne guisada looked and tasted like beef stew since it comes with carrots and potatoes. It was definitely not what he was looking for. They serve chips and salsa and a small cup of fideo before the main dishes come, so that was good. The food was pretty good, so we might be back again some other time. The only bad experience, which soured our visit, was that the employees chose the middle of the day to mop the dining area, our server was mopping around us, which was a little annoying because we were trying to eat and have a good time. On our way out, I needed to use the restroom. I couldn't wait, we had a long drive ahead of us, so I went in anyways even though the entrance was blocked by trashcans. When I came out, the employee cleaning it was super rude and complained to one of the other employees, that they needed to do something because guests were coming in as she was trying to clean. Shouldn't the employees do the cleaning at the end of the day. Mopping around the tables where the guests were trying to eat and then complaining that guest had to use the restroom. Give me a break! Talk about an inconvenience.

We stopped for a late breakfast.Service was great !Our server Gladys was attentive and friendlyI ordered nopalitos and huevos rancheros.Nopalitos were fresh and spicy excellent

Good traditional Mexican restaurant! Very clean, yummy, and good service. I have only gone for dinner, but Ive heard their breakfast is good.

Very good service, the rstablishment is clean, the prices are affordable, and their menu is quite extensive. Definately reccommend.

Their menudo and flour tortillas are great! The service and ambiance is good too. Price point is good too. Would definitely recommend. Very budget friendly

Ordered a carne al carbon the cheese smelled rotten and avocado was brown way past its date !! Caldo tasted like it had been there too long meat was tough and dry vegetables looked old I do not recommend the food at this location

Elizabeth St. location 6/10/24, evening. Great food and lovely service. Clean and comfortable atmosphere. Extensive menu. As soon as we sat down, we were brought chips and salsa and a small bowl of delicious soup. Husband had Panchos con fajitas de res. I had Tampiqueña. Will be back when our travels take us to Brownsville again.

Good food. The salsa was particularly spicy (which I appreciated), and their bistec was well seasoned. Their flour tortilla was amazing. Good service as well. The ambiance is homey and clean.

El fideo era como lo que cocinaba mi mamá. Las tortillas de harina recién hechas. Todo era delicioso!
