First time in for lunch but it will not be our last! Holy Guacamole was WAY too much for just the two of us but I had to try it anyway. The food tasted sooooooo good everything is super fresh. The service was fantastic as usual!

Came back to my hometown from California so my HS friend thought we should eat here. I love Mexican food so looked forward to lunch. Lots of seating, clean and somewhat of Mexican theme adorn this restaurant.We had Alex as our server; if everyone else is as attentive and accurate, then service is five stars all the time.The fajita quesadilla was satisfactory but the salsa is one step away from bad ketchup and I was told there was no habanero available to save it. The queso (cheese) dip was beyond bland - no spices or any flavor. Disappointing.We also had the Jalisco Special, Steak Street Tacos and the appetizer platter. Considering my friends cleaned their plates and Alex ... three stars.Instead, drive to The Waterfront and visit El Campesino for more realistic and tastier Mexican fare.

My second visit was another 3 star experience. Staff was friendly and the food came out quickly, but my margarita was still the only real delicious part of dinner. The burrito I ordered was fine but not of a quality or quantity where it should have cost $17. Another member of our party got a taco salad and found it to be mushy. We love the large patio and may come back for margaritas and chips with salsa, but I wouldn't return for another meal.

We have been here several times. Food always served fast and food is tasty. My wife decided to order something different and thought super burritos was cooked in grill and we asked server if it was but there was a sorta language issue so she brought over a server that understood English better, which kudos to her, for stepping up. But when plate was served you could clearly see it was not grilled. We did not complain but when server noticed she was not consuming dinner, the manager came over and asked if there was issues with food. We explained and he offered to bring her out anything on menu at no cost. That is Excellent Management!! We declined told him I would take home and eat later, but he still sent out queso dip just because. You will not be disappointed in this Mexican restaurant, we think you should give it a try if you have never been here before

We had a lovely dinner at Emiliano's in Bethel Park. Service was excellent and the food was spot on for a delicious Mexican dinner. Our server Juan took the time to share a few recommendations and his suggestion of the Pastor Tacos did not disappoint as my sister loved her dinner. I had the Enchiladas Suiza and it was creamy and delicious with the perfect hit of zesty warm spice. We opted to eat indoors but the outdoor patio area was a nice option. Thank you to Juan and the staff at Emiliano's for serving up a lovely dinner.

My partner and I were in a rush to find a quick sit down bite on the later side of lunchtime. We wanted to prepare for an event at one of the pavilions in South Park. Traffic was bad and this was the most efficient option. I'd noticed the signs for this restaurant chain in multiple locations near me so I thought it would be a reasonable experience. In a large empty room we were seated in a booth next to a couple with a lively baby in a high chair. Ok fine, babies are great and need to do what they need to do but we wanted to talk. I could have asked for a new table but I was afraid it would seem rude to the family. We ordered a chicken and rice soup and a black bean soup. Both came out immediately. They were obviously microwaved, and not for long enough. The chicken soup tasted ok, probably because it was so salty. It was barely luke warm. The arroz rojo (Mexican red rice) in the soup was overcooked. It's used for all of the other dishes with rice so I'm sure that a lot is made at once and it was sitting around for a while until it would be time for a new batch. The black bean soup was unfathomably bad. It looked like the top of a can of beans poured into a bowl. This is certainly what it tasted like. We sent it back and ordered a chimichanga instead but we weren't planning to eat this much before our event. Since this new order took a very long time I reassured my partner that at least this would be cooked to order instead of microwaved. Once again, this "prestigious" rice is served with it. My husband was so upset at this point that he ate it begrudgingly but he said it was completely bland. When the check arrived we needed to move quickly to get to our event but the black bean "soup" that was sent back was still on the bill so we had to wait even longer so that the server could correct this. I'm also going to point out that a "bowl" of soup costs more than double the price of the "cup" of soup but it's the same quantity. This is an underhanded trick to help a restaurant's overhead. Not a good look.The location in the East End of Pittsburgh closed after being open for only a few years. People in Bethel Park seem to like it here from the reviews I've read so maybe this was just an off-day sort of thing. My experience with chains is that everything needs to be made with consistency in all locations though so I don't think I will try this one again. We would have rather eaten at the Sheetz across the parking lot :(

I had gone to the Emiliano's in the South Side a few times years ago & loved the fajita quesadilla, but the south side isn't a convenient location for me so I just haven't been back. This location though was a happy surprise while I was in town visiting family so I was excited to stop in!We ordered the table side guacamole. It was fantastic!! So tasty and a must get, in my opinion.For my meal, I went with the Fajita Quesadilla with Chicken. It's delicious just like I remember. It's really filling so I saved half for another meal later in the day.Service was speedy and everyone was friendly. I'd definitely recommend this spot!

I like Emiliano's. I admit that they don't tend to come to mind if I'm picking a place to eat, but I'm never disappointed when other people bring them up for consideration. They also multiple locations around Pittsburgh, which is good news for those days when my friends/family and I don't feel like crossing a bridge or two on our way to lunch or dinner.Same as their other restaurants, this location's menu is pretty big and covers everything you would expect from a Mexican restaurant, from appetizers and soups to tacos to entrées. There is a decently sized drink menu to pick from and enjoy, too.Indoor and outdoor dining are both available (weather permitting of course), and the wait staff here are very nice. The waitress serving my family during our visit was particularly helpful since my party was both enjoying a sit down meal and taking one dish home for someone who wasn't feeling well enough to dine out. She made sure the order was placed at a good time for both our table and the kitchen.Getting into this location's parking lot is really the only negative thing I might bring up, as there's exactly one turnoff into the lot from a very busy road. If you miss the turn you can of course make your way back around, but it will take a couple minutes (and in my family's case, we got honked at because we had the audacity to wait and turn after opposing traffic had cleared).Overall though, the food and vibe at Emiliano's are solid, and I'm always glad when someone suggests eating here. I'd come back again.

Spur of the moment visit on a Saturday night. We thought we would have a wait at 6:30 PM but we were seated immediately. Our server was happy to see us. I was exhausted from working all day and elicited his help. I asked him what his favorite menu item was and told him to pick for me. He chose a shrimp dish that was excellent! It had large shrimp, green onions, red peppers, onions, and smothered with cheese. It was accompanied by soft tortillas, rice, refried beans, and pico de gallo. Yummy. My hubby chose a pick three plate and also enjoyed his food. He had taco, burrito, and enchilada. He 's not usually adventurous but did eat half of my shrimp dish.Better than the food was our server who was so engaging. In addition to the conversation, he anticipated what we might want. We hope to meet with him again!

Have been ordering the same meals for almost a year. 6 times ordered the same exact meals. via Grubhub.com Quality and care has dropped massively.3 street tacos dinner was more like leftovers. Steak was hard like beef jerky interlaced with a few freshly cooked pieces of steak. Interlaced with lots of red onion. impossible to eat.Called manager to explain how terrible our meals were and he acted like he did not understand us. We hung up after telling him we are done with Emilianos.Definitely something wrong going on at Emilianos Bethel ParkI would not recommend.
