Best tortillas in Manhattan!!!! Oh my word this was so good. I had 2 carnitas tacos, 2 asada tacos and 2 pastor tacos. All fire. The 3 salsa were very good. The plan jalapeño was my favorite. The red was good but so so so spicy for my palette. 100% must stop for Mexico food in Manhattan

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

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!

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. ✨

i went with a couple of friends (two) (one of them spoke spanish) and he ordered for us in spanish even though the lady working at the order stand could speak english, it just made it all feel so much more authentic.
the atmosphere is amazing, im not mexican myself but it feels very cozy, looks clean and the staff are all nice people. they also have spectrum news ny1 on the television, which is pretty good too.
the food is amazing, i had a chicken burrito with pinto beans and pico de gallo. my friend had a carnitas taco and my other friend had a chorizo burrito, with pico de gallo.
for the price per person, you really get a lot of food.
the Abuelita making the food behind the counter makes it with love…. i can really tell.
the grillmaster does do a great job at cooking, i dont know what they do to the grill but the chicken had a really nice smoky flavor and texture, it tasted amazing, and didnt leave me feeling heavy or weighed down like other foods do. i didnt have indigestion or heartburn from it. I read some reviews about seasoning but i dont really get it, all of the food presented was seasoned perfectly and leaves me wondering what they do to it.
to me, the burrito is perfect, it doesnt need any sauce to make it taste good, its good on its own. however the red sauce on the tables really amplifies the flavor, and also further brings out the flavor of the smoke. i dont know how they get it to taste so smokey… it really does taste like a grill, but thats not a bad thing.
after i was done eating, which i was dining in with my friends at the authentic stools and tables, some of the burrito was falling out of my tortilla (which was very soft and nice) into my plate… which made me sad….. but it was also happening to my friend with his chorizo burrito, but thats because theres so much food in the burrito. i cannot complain.
i also tried jarritos for the first time, it was great.
overall the food, service, price and aesthetics are great, if you come alone you can get a hot meal for cheap… or with friends, enjoying wonderful songs playing over it all.

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.

Delicious Mexican food with reasonable prices. There isn’t much sitting space but it’s okay. Great portion sizes and music in the store.

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 really wanted to like this place. I will say the salsa bar is fantastic and the burrito was pretty decent. However the one thing I just can’t wrap my mind around is why the veggie burrito is more expensive than a chicken burrito. The veggie burrito doesn’t include sour cream in it while the chicken burrito does. Sure the veggie burrito has guacamole included in it while the chicken burrito doesn’t, which would level the price. I asked if I can get sour cream in my veggie burrito and the employees + cashier told me it’s an extra charge. I asked why would a veggie burrito not have any sour cream included in it while every other burrito (that has meat and is essentially more expensive to make because of that) has it included free of charge. They also had no idea. I can’t stand a place that makes it more expensive and difficult for a vegetarian to eat at. Please fix this, it’s just simply annoying and incorrect.

I’ve been coming here for 12 years back when they had their location on 116th street and Lexington. I wish they would open another location there again (it use to be 24 hours). They have the best food. The cashier was super nice and sweet to me.
