El Aguila Restaurant - Omaha

If you are NOT looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant, this is definitely the place to go. The salsa tasted like the tomato paste was years old and the enchiladas must've been served from a bucket. There was an olive in my beans that Queen Elizabeth the First must've spit out at a shitty cocktail party. Please stay away. Your stomach and your children's grandchildren will thank you someday.

El Aguila, we miss you! Your warm, efficient staff, delicious, bottomless basket of complimentary Tortilla Chips Salsa which we inhaled while waiting for our freshly prepared Burrito Dinner, and yummy Enchiladas. And, there is nothing to compare to topping off our meal with Huge, Fresh Puff Pastry Sopapillas. Can't wait for when you reopen at your new location! I updated my phone and lost my photos. Sorry.

Good. This place has been on my wish list forever. It came highly recommended from a friend who spent a year studying abroad in Mexico.

The food is quite tasty, and a nice atmosphere. Every time I've been here, I've greatly enjoyed the food. The servings are generous, and the service is polite and quick. I've taken out-of-town family here several times and never been disappointed. One of those times, I had called ahead and arranged table space for 15 or so (including three toddlers). The restaurant was more than ready for us, and gave us excellent service. It happened to be on Saturday night, when the Mariachi musicians came in. Seeing the toddlers, they came over and did their version of Old McDonald and the kids loved it). Definitely worth going again!

Very good food.. Took my wife there for the first time.She loved the food.We have eaten at almost all the Hispanic restaurants in the Omaha and surrounding cities.This is now her favorite place to eat.
