Emiliano's Restaurant and Sports Bar at Sonoran Sun Resort — Restaurant in Sonora

I highly recommend this place!!! While at the Sonoran Sun Resort I got a to go order from restaurant they had on the premises. It’s called Emiliano’s. The place is well appointed with a nice bar area stocked with most of what folks would order. Right next to it is a seating area for folks that want to dine in. The staff are friendly, the food was done in about 10-15 minutes and it was great! The first day there I ordered an Emiliano’s burger. It’s two patties, thick cut bacon with fresh avocado sliced and placed on the cheese. Not just a few avocado slices but many. The meat and veggies were packed between two buns. The bread was actually a good compliment to this burger since it held up well and the bread alone tasted great. The meat was the star of this burger. It was cooked perfect. No real seasoning that I could pick up which is fine. A good quality meat won’t really need it. The flavor was just what a carnivore wants to savor. Nice thick and juicy patties with plenty of melty cheese to go with it. The way the cheese melted and stayed that way made it even more delicious. It’s a two hander for sure. This burger was bigger than most burgers I’ve had. I can put a lot of food away with ease but this burger left me beyond full. I was so full it hurt to eat the fries. But I did it anyways. Even your teeth feel good sinking into this burger. The fries could have used a bit more crunch but weren’t bad at all. The next day I wanted another one. I also got a breaded chicken (milanesa) with rice and steamed veggies. Also to go. The burger was just as satisfying as the day before. Half way thru you start to get full but it’s so good you keep pushing. The breaded chicken was another surprise. The picture isn’t the best but believe me it was fantastic. Nice and juicy, not salty with excellent crunch from the breading. Best part is that it was not greasy. The rice was ok as were the steamed veggies though the rice could have used more flavor. If you’re at the Sonoran Sun Resort and you get hungry then consider this place as it was well worth it. Big portions and big taste. Plus it’s right there, you don’t have to go far. The menu prices are current...

Last week: went over to order Breakfast, No one in the bar area... although 2 'waitresses' passed by a couple times by the other side.

Waitress came into bar area approx 3-4 minutes later to pass a Coffee and creamers/sugar across the counter to a Customer.

NO acknowledgement that I was even there...across from her...holding a menu.

Not a hello, I'll be with you in a moment....NADA...not even a Glance my way.

The Excuse given when contacted via FB messenger: "we had tables, 3 to be exact. My waitress and assistant focused on the tables and the other girl was in the cleanup."

3 tables...WoW..4 people not including kitchen staff..not how many tables I saw...but irrelevant.

This Week (TG the Bartender was there this time): Just 2 eggs over easy (Estrellados).

The eggs WELL done. Sent another pm...I did not want a refund but I was hungry & busy so I Just Ate them.

No Consistency with the food...and SERIOUSLY, TRAIN your staff! Saying you're sorry is NOT actually improving anything.

Maybe the bar...

I/ WE don't have the words for this restaurant but fabulous! And let me tell you I have been in the service/ restaurant business for 25+ years, mainly bartender; I know service & food quality..if you have both at a restaurant the price of the food doesn't matter! We had dinner 2 nights- outta our 5 nights: rib eye that was a perfecto med rare & the shrimp El patron, omg delicious! We craved this exact meal again so we had it again! Went to Garufa 1 night- the rib eye better at Emilianos. Had breakfast 2 mornings and switched it up: egg combo breakfast: hot, fresh n eggs cooked the way we ordered them, breakfast burritos straight forward n delicious served with yummy breakfast potatoes n beans. Another morning I had chicken n waffles, omg Fabulous. We had consistent staff with knowledge of menu but most of all took the time to know us, talk n joke. Drink specials and all. The musica is the bomb.. Please...
