We stopped by because it looked nice from the outside, they have some patio seating that look really appealing on a sunny day after hiking the trails.
once we were inside, we decided to all the way to the back for the gold course view (vs the street view) and it was pretty neat.
They have a covered terrace with view to the golf course, so you could be just enjoying the greenery, or if you like golf, it’s totally funny to be judging on the swings while sipping on a margarita.
The atmosphere was perfect , the staff was super friendly and kind,
the restaurant is very clean and has awesome topical decorations, very original.
Most of anything, the food selection was broad, lots of choices, from tamales, ceviche, mole, etc. and everything we tried was delicious.
The chips and salsa were flowing properly, and they have three different sizes of margaritas,
(The comparison pics is for the small and the medium sizes).
the small one was the skinny margarita, the medium one was the bigger one.
(that’s why a different colors)
Anyways, they were both really tasty , and we left satisfied.
Valentin was our server, and he was always on point checking on us, and super friendly. This was our first time visiting this restaurant and it won’t be our last.

I came on a Sunday. There wasn’t a problem with seating. I got a nice booth overlooking the golf course. I began with coffee and kahlua ha ha ha. Great way to begin your dinning experience.I sat there enjoying my coffee and view on a beautiful day. My waiter was pleasant and efficient. I ordered a chicken fajita which came to me sizzling hot and very very tasty.I then ordered a sangria.
The whole meal was delightful. If disabled your going to have difficulty maneuvering around from the parking area to the entrance. Price of my dinning was a little pricey. But certainly worth paying!! The location of the restaurant is kinda hard to find.. especially on a busy road such as mission gorge. I will return for a very pleasant dinning experience.

The birria tacos and margaritas are so good! The daughter took over ownership from her father and the whole place looks really nice and has delicious food and great service. Very friendly staff. My friend and I will definitely be back for more!

I come down from LA about twice a month and this is always a must-stop location for me! The shrimp ceviche is top notch. I love the champagne showers drink and each visit lately I’ve been exploring a new item and every time it hits! If you’re in the neighborhood you have to stop by. A total gem in San Diego that I plan to frequent for many many years.

I had a fantastic dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the customer service was top-notch. The shrimp cocktail was fresh and flavorful, and the enchiladas were cooked to perfection. I was impressed by the generous portions and the vibrant flavors in every dish. But what really made the visit stand out was the exceptional service – our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re craving Mexican food with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, look no further than Emiliano’s

I have lived in California all of my life, and this is the best Mexican food I have ever had. The guacamole is made in-house, along with everything else. Great food, wonderful service. Highly recommended. The per-person spend below includes cocktails, which were also excellent.

Today was my first visit to Emiliano’s. We enjoyed lunch on the patio. The restaurant and staff were super dog friendly- they sweetly offered a dog water bowl and option to order grilled, unseasoned chicken. For the humans, we greatly enjoyed the Birria tacos. I look forward to going back!

Love this spot, especially when the back patio is available so you can overlook the golf course!
Always a very pleasant experience, staff are very welcoming and friendly, quick with drinks and food and helpful with suggestions.
We had the Pollo Super nachos (don’t fill up on table chips if getting this! Well loaded with meat, cheese, beans, sour cream, and guacamole!
The chili Colorado tender and flavorful and very good size!
The chili verde had really good flavor, was super tenderand came with tortillas.
