Our Story

We didn't start a taco shop.
We kept a promise.

Emilianos began the way the best food decisions do — with a standard too high to compromise. The tortillas would be hand-pressed every morning. The meat would be braised low and slow, not rushed. The salsas would be made from scratch, not warmed from a jar.

Located on 700 East in Salt Lake City, we became a neighborhood staple because neighbors noticed the difference. It's in the char on the tortilla. It's in the depth of the mole. It's in the fact that we'd rather close than serve something we wouldn't serve our own family.

That's not a marketing line. That's just how we do it.

The Process

From masa to
your hands.

Every taco passes through four steps we refuse to shortcut.

01

Select

We source dried chiles, fresh produce, and quality meats from regional suppliers who share our standards.

02

Prepare

Meats are marinated and braised in small batches. Salsas are blended fresh. Nothing sits overnight that shouldn't.

03

Press & Cook

Every tortilla is hand-pressed and cooked on a comal. Every taco is assembled to order — never prepped and held.

04

Serve

From our hands to yours, hot and intentional. We watch every order leave the kitchen because it matters.
