Emiliano's Mexican Restaurant & Bar (South Side)

"Waiter took my card and charged me twice the amount than on the receipt and said nothing about it!! I've dined here multiple times over the years and have had both good and bad experiences but recently after having lunch with a friend I will never return again. During this visit the food left much to be desired. As we were ready to go the waiter brought us our checks. My check was correct however my friend wasn't charged for her drinks. The waiter said he would fix it, We provided him with our cards and the waiter then returned with a receipt twice as much as the original copy!! He charged my card twice as much without permission. Without presenting me the new receipt prior to charging my card. I was shocked and confused. This is could be considered theft. Completely unacceptable. Had I not looked at my receipt I wouldn't have realized. He made no mention that he made changes to the bill. His excuse was that he intended to correct the checks but still had them incorrect. Instead of presenting them to us before charging and requesting permission and confirmation of it being accurate he went ahead and charged the cards. I've never experienced anything like this. This could have caused problems for a guest if they didn't have the appropriate amount in that account (overdraft fees) thankfully that wasn't the case for myself however it's completely illegal to take somebody's card and charge them a different amount than what was represented on the receipt. Thankfully my friend had cash to give me to correct the difference that should have been on her check. Very reckless and unprofessional. I will never return."

"Wow! Great experience! Phenomenal food! Our waiter was just the alright amount of attentive. 5+ stars"

"Great spot for yummy, hearty mexican food. Service was awesome on a busy Saturday night, and we were taken care of very quickly. We tried appetizers, and burritos and everything was delicious! I love the potato flautas. My one complaint was that the margaritas were not very strong. Overall though it was a really good meal, and I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for quality mexican plates."

"Always fresh and delicious!! Loved their music selection today. Service is always great; people are super nice . Sooo accommodating to low carb too, with their keto menu!"

"I rarely give five star reviews but Emiliano’s is so good; maybe the best Mexican restaurant I have been too. The chips and salsa are awesome - the salsa is so good. The steak tacos are overflowing with steak and the Emilianos Fajitas are so good - they have cheese and bacon. How can you go wrong. Great food, decent prices, and good service. You won’t be disappointed!"
