Emiliano's is a typical Pittsburgh Mexican restaurant. The food is mediocre and so are the drinks. It doesn't taste authentic and nothing is that impressive. Food lacks flavor and is typically disappointing. Cocktails are too sweet, but some can be purchased for $5 during happy hour.
You probably won't get sick if you eat here, but there are a lot of better options if you're in Southside. Heck, there are a lot of other Mexican options, or even American places where you could get a better quesadilla or nachos.
