Delicious and fresh Mexican breakfast And Friendly service . My wife and I really enjoyed

The best Mexican restaurant if you want organic. Chicken soup. Their cheesecakes are to die for. Handmade tortillas. Fresh made fruit and vegetable drinks. Outstanding.

i love going to this place and ordering a torta with chorizo. i appreciate the accommodations they make for my order (i can be picky) love the potatoes chips and salsa and i can never leave without ordering a flan

We did drive down some on a search for homemade chips and El Aguila was definitely on the proper channels for that...crispy and well fried not too oily, just right. All the other dishes were so well executed, plating and presentation and notable flavors to match. Firstly, their chips and tortillas are made in-house...this isn't your usual taqueria fast food type nor is it TexMex. The dishes are richly flavored and chromatically eye-catching, vibrant, and all made fresh to order. The potato empanadas as appetizers really did a number on my taste buds, subtly rich w/ the milky creama & queso fresco and beautifully compliments the potato zucchini tomato base filling. And the zucchini w/ home made chips I can just eat on its own. The kid really loved her chorizo quesadilla and finished it in under 10mins. Boss loved her black angus rib eye steak tacos and sissy carne torta, just the bread was a bit overly crunchy and well done ...other than than all was delish. The kid managed a whole flan to herself...not surprised. We can't wait to come back and bringing the hubby in tow. You would never know El Aguila is in a strip mall alongside a laundry mat and convenient stores, in pleasant hill...service is spoty, you need to go, but very friendly and accommodating! I got a togo burrito hubby thoroughly enjoyed as well! ¡Muchas gracias!

Does anyone else like to dance when their food is good? That's what I wanted to do after grabbing lunch here one afternoon. I ordered the shrimp burrito and was blown away with the juicy flavors. AND- they put the burrito on the grill so it was crispy yet still soft and chewy. There is a caramel used onion and grilled tomato filling that exceeded my expectations. Only addition is I would have ordered sour cream on the side because it's kind of spicy. I will definitely be back. Everyone was friendly and service was quick. (Sorry no picture- I dug in as soon as the plate was placed in front of me)

El Aguila This is my overdue review. We love this place. From the appetizers to pozole, salad, tacos, burritos, and molé, the menu is limited m, but every dish was delicious. It is not the usual Mexican restaurant we have here in California. Through the pandemic, we ordered from here. We never had a bad meal. They have maintained quality consistently over the years. What to eat? Anything on their menu! The food: exceptionally good, homey, and tasty made with fresh and high-quality ingredients. You can see it and taste it. There is nothing greasy, never was overly spiced. It is done just right. My always sensitive stomach never complained about what I ate from here. Their burritos are served with thick-cut homemade potato chips. The breakfast burrito is our favorite. It is so addictive, unlike any other breakfast burrito I ever ate before. It is so addictive. Is there such a thing to describe a burrito? Oaxaca molé: delicious molé with just a hint of sweetness, served with homemade tortilla, it was so good. The tostadas are delicious. The chicken soup is rich with a well-rounded flavor. The Service: from the moment you walk in. you will be greeted with a smile and welcome. Every dish is served with a smile. Ambiance: cheerful, airy and spacious. The dining area is kept super clean. Customers: mostly return customers. Once you have been here, you will return as well. PS: they do accept credits with a 3% fee charge. But the food price is very reasonable.

This place really balances authenticity with all natural and higher quality. The chicken is Mary's All Natural and the beans have organic option - while the tortillas are homemade! The sauces are full of flavor and the plates are big. This place even has homemade deserts! A great find with super friendly staff and casual but specious seating area.
