“My Fiancee is from Guanajuato City. He found Emilys to be the BEST Comfort food around, thats outside Little Village! Even my Irish Mother from Tucson, AZ demands Emilys when she is town. everything is homemade and SUPER FRESH! Our family loves it we dont use doordash. they cause delivery issues and lengthy delays. we call ahead and do a pickup or sit down. i hope you make the bone broth soup someday! 5 Stars! Never Go Out Of Business Junior!“

“This Taco Bell has the best service. The staff is always super friendly and respectful. It’s more like a Chick-Fil-A than a Taco Bell with its service level. I’ve noticed that quality of Taco Bell varies by location, and their food is always top notch in my opinion.“
