We had dinner at El Aguila & were suitably impressed with the food, service was a tad slow, but the girls were very attentive. You order from ipads at your table. We ordered an al fresco dip for a starter, followed by chilli con carne & a vegetarian enchilada. All the food was generous in portion sizes & tasty. We ordered habanero hot & it was!
Great food, friendly staff and the chef even came out to see how the food was.
I asked for as hot as possible as I was VERY impressed. I will be back!
This shop is friendly and has lovely staff. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the food you won’t be disappointed by. I had an enchilada which was really delicious and affordable. For good Mexican food at a decent price I would recommend!
Good food, I go back for the Nachos and the Trio of dips. Heaps to feed two people. Also good Sangria. Table service can be a bit hit and miss, the ordering is through ipads on your table though so not too much of an issue.
We were a little apprehensive walking into El Aguila , it looked like a take away joint as only the take away menu was on display however the waitresses were very lovely and informative. We settled in nicely with perfect margarita 's.The food was delicious and well priced. The place only lacks ambience but forgivable given the other positives. We will definitely be back.
Great food, great people and a great atmosphere! You must try the Mojitos, they are fantastic! If you like Mexican, this is the place to be!
Not authentic Mexican but great tasting Tex-Mex. Friendly and efficient service and will definitely be back to enjoy a nice meal at a reasonable price.

I have driven past this restaurant so many times and finally had the opportunity to try it the other night and I must say I had a joyful experience.
Instead of reading off a normal menu they actually have a "smart" menu which is like an iPad that you can scroll through and order from, although it's a good idea I think it would be nice for the staff to check in with you to see how you meal is as there is not much waitress interaction.
The cocktails were cheap and the delicious sangria at $7 for a large glass.
Meals were brought out very quickly and the price point very attractive for the size of the meals.
The crumbed feta with jalapeño jelly was a pleasant entree to start and the main burrito had great fillings with beans, rice, cheese, veges and your choice of meat, along with a side of sour cream, salad & guac.
Will definitely be back. Love the food & the price point. Only suggestion is more waitress interaction. I
Easily the best Mexican food I've had in Queensland. Three adults and 2 children fed, including 2 bottles of sangria for the adults and some desserts for $125!
The service was a mix of innovation, tablets, and great table service. Somehow they make it work very well.
The ribs were the best I've had in an Australian restaurant of any genre. They were nicely coated, marinated, smoked and cooked to fall off the bone perfection. A variety of meals were eaten at the table with everyone happy.
If you're looking for Mexican food in Brisbane don't miss El Aguila.
El Aguila has a become a popular addition to Nundah Village with a modern twist on Mexican dining. For me it's always a toss up between the chicken quesadillas and the tostada bowl. That shell is so good!
