We tried the table side guacamole, the birria tacos, and quesadilla, the passion fruit mojitos, and the chefs churros. We were impressed by the table side à la cart guacamole experience. Our server Marq made some of the best guacamole we have ever tasted. It was a great conversation that left a warm place in our hearts, which was a great compliment to the cool and sophisticated flavors of the guacamole. I appreciated that he asked how spicy we wanted it. We chose mild. The fresh lime in what looked like to be very choice avocados was paired well with the levels of heat and salt with the addition of cilantro. The pico de gallo that was added onto it, not excessively, rounded it all out, and I love that it was made in a molcajete. The birria tacos and quesadilla had some of the best consommé we have ever had. We love that the meat flavors were well rounded with smoky and sophisticated savory notes that paired well with the corn tortillas. The simplicity of it all left the authenticity intact. The passionfruit mojitos were done very well because passionfruit should be a little sour and sweet and that’s exactly what we got. The chef churros were very nice on the pallet. There was a crunch and chew to them that left us coming back for more. You can never go wrong with caramel and chocolate sauce! It was drizzled all over them with strawberries on the side. I think the only flaw we have to say in the whole experience was we wish we would’ve had more consommé with the birria tacos and quesadilla, and had more strawberries with the churros. The atmosphere was also extremely well thought of. This is definitely our new Mexican place. We would love to take people out to this restaurant, and come back for date night.

Here’s a great review: If you’re looking for the perfect spot for tacos, tequila, and a genuinely fun vibe, look no further! This bar is an absolute gem. The tacos are bursting with flavor—every bite is a party for your taste buds—and the tequila selection is second to none. Whether you’re a fan of classic margaritas or adventurous craft cocktails, you’ll find something to love here. What really sets this place apart, though, is the amazing staff. Kori and Nick are absolute rock stars behind the bar! They not only whip up incredible drinks but also make you feel like you’re part of the family. Kori has a knack for recommending the perfect cocktail, and Nick’s energy and creativity are unmatched. Watching them work is like seeing artists in their element. The atmosphere is lively, welcoming, and just the right mix of casual and classy. Whether you’re here for a date night, a gathering with friends, or just a solo nightcap, this is the place to be. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their incredible menu—and of course, hang out with Kori and Nick again! Highly recommend!

First time eating here and absolutely loved it. The day was overcast so we sat at the outside bar, which was wonderful. I got the mango passion fruit Margarita which was delicious The chicken Navajo burrito was huge and tasted even better than it looked. I highly recommend Emilio's.

First off… let me just say the ambience is phenomenal! Visiting from out of state and I’m definitely glad me and my sisters chose this place. Second off the food was sooooo delicious. Like I’m not even exaggerating. Thirdly, the manager Danny was top notch and I’ve never experienced having a manager on the floor actually diligently working alongside the employees. Fourthly, Jazz my waitress was beyond amazing! She was juggling more than 5tables and made sure that we were good continuously. And last but not least, the bartender!!!! Perfect drinks!! Everything was so great that I’d thanked the manager for how great my experience was and for the fact that he actually was hands on and making sure every customer had a good experience. Definitely will be going back when visiting 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.

Great spot. Can't beat the great tasting food coupled with impeccable service. Validating clean garage parking, indoor and outdoors seating wonderful tacos and fish plates. And, the prices are moderate. Not too crowded or loud. A true gem! My favorite Mexican restaurant in Atlanta, GA!

Went here for lunch. The service and the food were absolutely fantastic. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated quickly. Our drinks (El Guapo Margarita & Peach Mojito) were strong and delicious and our food ( shrimp nachos, Baja fish tacos , & blackened shrimp tacos) were delicious as well. We will definitely go back.
