I've been coming here for about two years now. I love the authenticity of the food. Never knew I'd love a jalapeno with avocado salsa. Awesome stuff. Personally I love their goat meat burritos

We loved the food! Great portions with great prices. We got the salad with chicken, tamal de rajas(jalapeño and cheese) and a tostada de tinga (chipotle chicken) which had great amount of toppings. All so good def stopping by when I’m in the area again. ✨

Walked in for lunch because I heard they had $10 burritos. The place is no frills and has a warm vibe. Bought a chorizo burrito and had to add extra steak, along with a tamarind agua fresca. Loved the burrito, and it was so much, I only finished half and saved the other half for later. It was fresh and delicious. The agua fresca was not overly sweet and refreshing. Next time I'm in the area I'm definitely stopping by again

I will say it again: Chipotle has nothing on El Aguila's burritos. Anything with carne asada is out of this world. Right across the 6 train stop at 103rd St. on Lexington Ave. Prices are fair, as things are going up. Amazing, authentic Mexican food. Almost forgot there are no restrooms. The food is good enough to give it a 5-star rating on everything.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Mexican food around UES / East Harlem.
Truly amazing Mexican food at amazing value. Came here because some hispanic friends recommended it with their approval. They were absolutely ON POINT.
I came with my girlfriend for Sunday lunch - we got a goat torta, asada quesadilla, verde tamale (green sauce & chicken), and large horchata (everything came out to around to just ~$34 and were were stuffed). Everything is truly amazing and we didn't wait long at all for the food - the goat does have a bit of smell if you are sensitive to that, otherwise I absolutely loved it. They were really generous with the protein quantity as well. The horchata leans towards the sweeter side but it was a nice complement to the meal. And last but not least, they have three amazing sauces that you can self-service: green, green & avocado (def give this one a try), and red (spicy). They were absolutely phenomenal sauces that took the meal to another level. Fair warning that it's quite spicy so if you don't enjoy spicy flavors as much as I do, please always sample a small amount first before committing.
In terms of seating - there are about three small tables with 3 chairs to each, so don't come in fully expecting to be seated. You might need to take this one to go.
Bonus #1: there's a small 5% discount for students (and I think veterans a few other groups as well, there's a sign on this next to the cashier)
Bonus #2: there's a nice carrot cake spot close by called Lloyd's Carrot Cake cafe for some dessert afterwards :)

I went here tonight before they closed for the 1st time and ordered a chicken burrito with no lettuce and no sour cream. 3 goat tacos, and 3 elotes... Lemme just say the burrito was huge I couldn't finish it my husband had to finish it for me. My husband loves the goat tacos. He said the meat was a little bit chewy tho. The elotes we loved them even my 1 year old was busting it down. They gave me a free I think enchilada or IDK what she said it was but we didn't try it because we were so stuffed. I'm about to have my c section for my twins in 6 days and I feel like I'm about to explode from all the food. I would definitely be coming back. That food got me sleepy now 🥱😴😴😴😆 We was busting that food down we forgot to take a picture.. oops 🤤😋🤣☺️🫄
PS the lady at the register that I see a lot of people complaining about was very nice and I didn't wait long for my food so idk what other people are complaining about. It was pretty busy when I was in the restaurant. Also imo the prices are not bad.

Just went and ordered 2 burrito bowls, 1 chicken and 1 steak. Besides the food being mediocre at best, it was the rudeness and audacity of the workers that really stood out. Being a manager in the restaurant business myself, the importance of a customer’s food allergy must always be taken into account and also very seriously, which is exactly what just happened to me. I notified the lady packing my food that I have severe allergies to avocado to which she completely ignored and continued to make my bowls right next to the avocado on the line. I would not recommend this place to anyone, especially to people who have allergies like me. These people don’t care and all they want is your dollar.

A Gem in Spanish Harlem. The Custer service was great. The food is even better. Nice quiet spot with indoor seating facing windows. You can eat and people watch. I had a Toscana with everything. It was huge flavorful and filling. If you like spicy like me, I suggest the jalapeño and avocado sauce. RECOMMEND
I’m so happy to have found this gem nearby. They have different tamales and agua frescas regularly. So far my favorites are the Cactus Pineapple agua fresca and the jalapeño y queso tamale. The rojo tamales are also very good. Flavorful and affordable, tysm!

I tried their torta and absolutely loved it, the cheese they use gives it such a delicious flavor! I also had the carnitas tacos and the red tamales, and everything was really tasty. The service is very quick, which I appreciated. They could improve a bit on customer service, but the food more than makes up for it. I’d definitely come back for more tacos. The prices are affordable, and everything tastes 100% Mexican. Highly recommend!

This beautifully authentic Mexican food restaurant is so good 😊! The food is always slamin' and the service is top tier!!! They don't have through the roof prices. I 💯 RECCOMEND this place to anyone looking for a Mexican restaurant for the family or to rely on when a craving takes over 🤤.
