If you want some quick tacos or burritos, this is definitely the place to go to. It’s not the best but it was definitely delicious. Like taco star without having to drive out of town. We got the choose three and the beans were flavorful. The enchiladas and chimichanga were soo good. We also got the quesadilla. The cheese was melted to perfection and the green sauce had a little kick to it, along with the pico de gallo being really fresh. When it comes to the customer service, they’re not all that great. It seems like the servers had been working there for only a day or it was their first time. But they were super friendly and nice so it makes up for their lack of knowledge about the place that they’re working at.

Emilio's is our go-to feel-good great-food great-service hangout. You won't go wrong with anything on the menu, though my husband and I are partial to the No Mas Carne Burrito - it's big as yo' face!! So yummy. The chips are extra special - not sure what makes them so good, but try not to love them and you'll fail. Freshest guac around, too. We love you, Emilio's. Oh, and the Luna Shine? AHH-MAZING. ? Get lucky and catch a local musician jamming on the spacious patio, too, while enjoying your cerveza. We're partial to Brian Connelly singing Smashing Pumpkins and The Beach Boys with his guitar. Bring that man back for more! So awesome!

The green Chile is more of a green Chile sauce than authentic green Chile, very reminiscent of tex mex. Not for me but if you're into that sort a thing it might be worth checking out. The bartender was friendly.

This is a solid option for a good meal that won't break the bank. It's also a great place to grab drinks with friends. They sell their hot sauce by the bottle and do a mimosa brunch that's worthwhile on the weekends. There's nothing revolutionary here, but I've never left dissatisfied with my experience.

Love this little place tucked away in plain sight. The outdoor patio is cozy & a favorite of ours in Westminster. Their ? tacos are delicious! Everything we have ordered has been delicious! A fun item on the menu is to buy a round of beers for kitchen staff! Prices are quite reasonable, especially during happy hour!

Great tacos and cheap margaritas on taco Tuesday! Piper is great - usually very happy and has a good sense of humor. My favorite is the bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers and the Mexican Hamburguesa. They have happy hour all day on Saturdays with 1/2 price starters and drink specials. Emilio's is our neighborhood go-to.

Was extremely busy bit was also Cinco DE Mayo. I was picking up an order for someone else. I did not get acknowledged at all for probably a good 4 to 5 minutes. Since there was no direction on where to go for pick up I started walking to the bar area since that is where I pick up food at other restaurants. One of the servers tells me she will back shortly and to wait by the bar. While waiting by the bar like I was asked to do another server walked by and said can you move you are in the way. I thought about trying it on a day off now I'm not sure.

The green chili used to be awesome, but something has definitely changed. It's so boring. The service was great! And I'm guessing the drinks are great as well. But I was unimpressed with the seasoning (or lack of seasoning).

The food is really good. You get good sized portions for a decent price. They have a good selection of beers. The servers leave a lot to be desired. They're just short with customers and have no patience to assist you make a choice on food or drink. So, go expecting good food, just not good service.

Terrible. If you aren’t an obnoxious redneck pounding drinks and being an idiot yelling at the bar, you don’t matter here. We have ordered delivery for years and went tonight with an older (76 year old) family member visiting just tonight from out of state. It was so loud (the horrible country music and rap were pounding at level 1,000) that we couldn’t even hear each other talk. It was 6:30pm on a Wednesday by the way. I asked them to turn it down and they ignored my request. Crappy food and super crappy atmosphere. Decide if you’re a “family restaurant” or a red neck dive bar. I think you’re choosing the latter and you won’t get my business again.
I should have taken a picture. We ordered the #6 smothered deluxe with beans. Delicious! $11.50 per burrito. It's a nice place inside. Looks like a store but the restaurant is deep with good seating.

Nice atmosphere, and thanks for the free shot because it was our first time. Intriguing golf game. Loved the full moon night.

This is a cute little dive close to the Butterfly Pavilion. The food was just okay. The appetizers were bland; don't waste your money on the guac or queso. The margaritas were overly sweet. The street tacos and desserts were good. Our waitress seemed overwhelmed despite ours being one of two occupied tables and was blatantly racist. It was just uncomfortable. Honestly, I would pick something else the next time we're in the area.

The food wasn't bad but just very average, and unremarkable-hence the score. Seems like it would be a better late-night place, for fun, reliable eats and drinks. Apr 2021

We go here once a month for Taco Tuesday, which includes $2 margs, $2 tacos and, my favorite, half-off green chili cheese fries. Everyone is always so nice, and the food and drinks are great. One of my favorite local places!
