Emiliano's Carnitas serves authentic Mexican food, especially its signature carnitas, which are considered the best in Philadelphia. The restaurant offers friendly counter service and delicious tacos, along with a carnitas platter that includes rice and frijoles, all made with fresh ingredients. The carnitas are super moist and flavorful, with options that include skin and stomach, making them a favorite among customers. The salsa verde is a highlight, and cilantro can be omitted upon request.
This family-owned restaurant is known for its homemade taste and has been praised for its esquite, which some find addictive. Many customers believe the carnitas rival those found in Mexico and California. The food is just like being invited over someone's home, cooked with love like a Mexican mom. The tacos are flavorful, and the salsas are spicy and tasty. The horchata is highly recommended and helps contrast spicy sauces.
While there are a few booth-type tables for dining in, it mainly functions as a takeout spot, but the friendly staff makes every visit special. Emiliano's Carnitas is highly recommended for anyone seeking terrific food, including excellent corn sides and churros.
