Tried to find this place last time we visited PDC but couldn't find it! Managed to find it this time though and really glad we did. The food was really good and the staff were brilliant, nice and friendly without being overly friendly.

We ate in Emma's Cantina towards the end of our week long holiday, and I'm only sorry we didn't look it up earlier in the week to have given us the opportunity to eat there a second time. Really tasty food, the sort of food you'd happily go out to eat at home, unlike most holiday resort restaurants. We shared... More

My girlfriend and I visited this restaurant on the strength of many good reviews left by other diners. We were not disappointed. The service and food was first class first and what you would expect from a traditional family run Mexican restaurant. Staff couldn't do enough to help and explain the menu in detail. Chocolate tequila is lush!

Visited Emma's Cantina twice during our recent weeks stay. I had noticed on Trip Advisor that the reviews were excellent and now I see why! First night I had the famous chilli, yum yum, second visit I tried a chicken dish which had chocolate in the sauce which was delicious (sorry I can't remember the name of the dish). Will... More

Again, you will find pleasant & welcoming staff who will care for your needs & help with meals if unfamiliar with Mexican fare. yet another place I... More

This was our third or fourth visit to Emma's and it's still as good if not better than it ever was. Emma's is situated in a small back street in the old town part of Puerto Del Carmen. They don't have a huge number of tables so we'd recommend getting there early to make sure you get a seat and... More

This is a lovely mexican with fantastic staff, food and service. They allow you to taste the food and when the dish arrives, it is so fresh. We had fajitas and prawns (non spicy) Menu is well laid out in terms of spicy / non spicy. The best dessert was had here - it was like a sticky toffee pudding..... More
