Today I tried Emilanoz on 436 west of 434 in the old Steak in the City location. I had the Burrito Sahuayo for $7.49. It's a flour tortilla stuffed with carnitas (shredded pork), onions, peppers and covered with a light cheese sauce. It was a little bland and probably a fat bomb. But, it was huge and fresh and new. The chips were good (nice and tan and ungreasy). The salsa was gentle and on the unchunky side. The service was efficient and theme appropriate. The place is a notch above (on a retention pond/lake). I always liked what Steak in the City did with the place. They added some flare and replaced the buffet area with a fountain. The place was about 1/8th full. The crowd was surprisingly young and appealing. The menu is Michoacan (north Mexico) influenced. The 20 or so options range from your typical American-Mexican staples to more authentic fare. They had a huge selection of tequilas. Glad I came.
I would only encourage them to keep track of the drinks. We Gringos can go through a lot of sodas when we eat spicy food. Oh and there was a smell of barf when you entered and left the restaurant. It dissipated when you entered the dining room. I'm not sure of the source and don't want to implicate anyone or thing.
