That's the place... and the music!! thanks for your post--- that ties some memories together for sure! Was I right about the location--- was it in the Memorial City Mall? Seems weird that it was gone so quickly having been such a 'hot spot' at one time--- I'm guessing it was the early 80s when it disappeared...

Does anyone remember Emiliano's. If I recall--- this had to be the mid to late 70s and the location was in the old Memorial City Mall. Emiliano's served Mexican Food but was set up basically like a dinner theatre with a large stage. There was always live music going on during the dinner--- something you don't see that much of anymore... I was a tiny kid, but remember the food, the almost night-club environment and the waiters in tuxes promising ice cream if I could just make it through the singer's shrill rendition of "Torn Between Two Lovers".... the place used to be really packed, but I don't think it lasted into the 80s. If I remember correctly, that space became the Luby's in Memorial City Mall. Am I just imagining this place?
