I regularly golf at admiral baker and have seen this place while playing the back 9 multiple times so I decided to give it a try. The food was amazing, we ordered the California burrito and birria tacos as well as a couple margaritas. All were delicious, margaritas not too sweet, but perfect! Service was amazing. Randy was covering all the tables but we were never left waiting. He also gave great recommendations and was super friendly. We will be back!

Their shrimp ceviche, fish taco and shrimp burrito with enchilada sauce and cream were memorably good! The beautiful golf course views here and customer service top off the whole experience. Definitely a new favorite Mexican spot in the books!

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

Truly a magical place. The restaurant overlooks Admiral Baker Field Golf course. Family friendly, but also makes a mean margarita. Truly a place to grow with!!! Been coming here for 15 years. Enjoy!
