Emiliano's

Montreal
Mexican Restaurant
$$$$

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Sit upstairs or down at this comfortable, upscale Mexican restaurant that makes a point to serve more than just tacos — although the ones on the menu are pretty outstanding. The menu features familiar favorites like tacos, quesadillas, ceviches, tamales, and guacamole, but Emiliano’s throws in a twist that elevates the cuisine at least one notch. It serves grilled Queso Fresco with mango and avocado, a chipotle beef tartare, a mouth-on-fire octopus ceviche, sweet and spicy chicken tinga tacos, a lobster and shrimp quesadilla, beautifully plated mole tamales, and, to top it all off, Patron Flan. Emiliano’s doesn’t just stick to just tequila drinks (although it has a great tequila list), it serves cocktails like the Coco Loco (spiced rum, apricot brandy, pineapple, and coconut).
