It’s difficult for a Mexican restaurant to stand out, but look closely and you will surely find what sets them apart. At Don 
Emiliano’s Restaurante Mexicano in O’Fallon, MO we want to provide great service and awesome food! Venture outside of the burritos and chimis and check out the items you don’t often see anyone else have.
For us it’s the street tacos. We LOVE tacos, so we wanted to share them with you the way we eat them at home, in a warm corn tortillas with cilantro and onions. But we also know some may prefer a flour tortilla taco with lettuce and cheese. You let us know how you want them and that’s how we will prepare them.
Two items to try next time are the arroz con camarones and the molcajete. The Molcajete is a combination of chicken, steak, shrimp and chorizo with Mexican cactus, onions, our special sauce, shredded cheese and chili toreado served with rice and beans and is great to share amongst friends. The arroz con camarones showcases juicy shrimp atop a bed of rice, all drizzled in our famous queso dip . For our vegan and vegetarian friends we also have some delicious options, including the avocado tostadas, portabella quesadillas, spinach enchiladas and a family favorite, the portabella mushroom fajita.
We also have a new lunch menu with 13 lunch specials served from opening to 3:00pm Monday through Saturday for $6.99. Check out the new breakfast items like the Huevos Rancheros. If you’re looking for standard Mexican food, you’ll find it here; along with a full bar and our awesome margaritas. But if you want our best, ask your server for their favorites and review our menu for items you rarely see. The flavors are worth it! Stop by, we’d love to meet you.
The holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico, and especially in U.S. cities with a significant Mexican population. It is not, as many people think,Mexico’s Independence Day, which is actually September 16.

Yet, though the holiday gained in popularity among Mexican immigrants in the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, it remained relatively insular.  In 1989 the San Antonio based Gambrinus Group, who were the regional importers of Corona and Grupo Modelo, launched a Cinco de Mayo themed ad encouraging Mexican Americans already celebrating the holiday to make it a priority on this day to drink Mexican beer. The campaign took off and here we are!

Horchata first appeared in Egypt, where it was made from the tigernut or chufa nut and made its way to Spain.  By the time the Spaniards brought horchata to Mexico, horchata had evolved into the sweet refreshing and creamy drink we find today; made with rice instead.
If you’ve never had it or heard of it, you have to try this cinnamon-y drink that is served chilled, and great especially in the summer heat. Authentic horchata is entirely non-dairy but there are a lot of recipes out there to try.
Check out Kiko’s special recipe at the restaurant the next time you are in, just know that his version does use milk!
