Emiliano’s Makes Move to Cranberry

Owner Benny Ulloa is still hoping to open in a new location in the North Hills.

When owner Benny Ulloa says his new Emiliano’s restaurant in Cranberry features authentic Mexican, he means it from the food all the way to the décor. “We wanted to make people completely forget about what was here before,” he said. Located in the former CiCi’s Pizza in the Cranberry mall off Freedom Road, Emiliano’s held its soft opening Monday. The restaurant will hold a larger grand opening June 11, Ulloa said. Unable to reach agreement on a new lease, Ulloa closed his McIntyre Square restaurant at the end of March, but says he hopes to find a new location in the North Hills soon. On the eatery’s menu in Cranberry are a variety of homemade Mexican dishes, including appetizers, fajitas, quesadillas, vegetarian options and much more. …
