El Aguila, located in NYC's East Harlem, offers a mix of reviews but is gaining a reputation as a gem in the area. While the chicken taco was described as dry and boring, the steak taco is still recommended despite being slightly fatty. The al pastor taco with pineapples was rated as pretty good. Customers have praised the torta, noting that the cheese gives it a delicious flavor. The tortillas and toppings received an average score, but the tamales, such as the jalapeño y queso tamale and rojo tamales, are considered flavorful and affordable.
The restaurant features a nice, quiet spot with indoor seating facing the windows, allowing diners to eat and people-watch. Service has been rated positively, although there were mentions of potential improvements in customer service. The prices are considered fair, with one reviewer highlighting the generous portion of roasted pork for around $10. The quick service is appreciated, and many customers recommend trying the spicy jalapeño and avocado sauce. Overall, El Aguila seems to be a decent spot for a quick bite, especially if you're in the mood for tacos, tamales, or a flavorful torta.
