  It was my birthday and we had a party of 11. We were seated right away, chips and salsa on the table as soon as we sat down.
  Ordered our drinks, the service was outstanding. We ordered our food and considering we had 11 people, the service was fast. The food is the best and everyone loved what they ordered.
  Emilio's is by far the best Mexican restaurant in the Inland Empire.....
  Thanks to the staff for a great birthday celebration.

  I have been going to this restaurant since the late 80s. Food is always great and the service is good at lunch. I go about once a week for lunch. Unfortunately, the bar service is a different story.
  In the past, they had a very cool deal where you would get a free small appetizer when you ordered a drink in the bar. Amazing deal and they were great. They have since changed to 1/2 price appetizers which still is a great deal!
  The problem is this deal is only good in the bar, they reserve the limited tables and the tables sit empty for hours at a time. If you arrive around 4 (bar shift change) good luck getting a bartender to come by as the outgoing bartender doesn't want to serve you as they want go home and the incoming bartender is trying to set up for the evening.
  I arrived tonight shortly after one of our party of four. He was told the empty 4 top tables were reserved and there was nothing for us. We found an empty two top and waited fifteen minutes for our other two people to arrive, the whole time being ignored by both bartenders. The remaining four top which was occupied freed up and we cleaned the table and sat down. We waited another 5 minutes for a bartender to approach us only to tell us that we could not sit there and would have to leave.
  Unfortunately this is not an isolated incident in the bar. Service there is often less than accommodating. As I love the food and its consistency, I will now be forced to find a restaurant that wants my business.
  What a shame they have such poor customer service in the bar. My friends and I will find a new place to spend money every week.

  So I just read some of the reviews below, and yikes.
  As for our service during a mid Tuesday; it was fine; seating was immediate and our order was taken quickly.
  Food: As you can see with all the pictures and the common theme is sauce. The chips/salsa is a good mix, no fear of spice; in case your wondering. The rice and beans are fair; might be due for some chorizo in the beans and maybe some lemon/limon to cut through the richness.
  Drink refills were quick.  Restrooms were taken care of.
  Meals are about $10-$16 on average

  PARKING:
  There is no shortage of parking spots here on property. After being tortured by various L.A. restaurants having a "forced" valet, it is nice that it helps keeps it things more affordable.
  
  HOST:
  Greeted us with a smile and then tended to our group right away.
  
  THE SERVERS:
  These were informative (WI-FI password assistance), helpful and knowledgeable with the menu selections, neat in appearance (personal grooming to clean clothing - you cannot believe what I have witnessed elsewhere).
  
  SEATING:
  The Dinning room is not extravagantly spacious but, it utilizes the floor plan to its maximum potential. I think there isn't an argument that the tables are arranged in a way that allows for simple transiting between tables by the staff without rubbing elbows with the patrons.
  
  MENU:
  I posted photos of the complete menu on January 20, 2019.  Of their offerings, I tried the chilies rellenos, which was very good, and the chicken enchiladas with the ranchero sauce.  I enjoyed the enchiladas, which were a bit strong - as far as their harboring a salt flavor goes but, definitely edible. The next time I would just get the chilies rellenos.
  
  I would recommend this establishment to all.
