Aguila Con El Taco — Restaurant in Burley

Aguila Con El Taco is our go to place for authentic Mexican food. Starting from the beginning. Service is excellent. The owner is on-site always and is Customer service oriented to the Nth degree. Fine selections of draft beer on tap and food, well the food is the highlight of our day. We had chips and tomatillo salsa with Modelo Negra beer to start. Salsa is tart with slight heat that pairs well with the chips or everything. For our main course we had the Aztec tacos both carne asada and carnitas with a side Mexican rice and refried beans. The meat is tender and flavorful, and all of the components of the taco are perfectly balanced. Also there red (fire hot) salsa is excellent. We love this place and visit every time we are in town.

2nd Review. March 2023. Back in town and this joint did not disappoint. No matter the time frame the taste and quality are on point here. I do not hesitate to say that this place is the most consistent restaurant in which we’ve ever eaten. Service is excellent and the owner is a personable and eager to ensure your dining experience is everything you wish for. Our thanks to you Sir for your food and hospitality.

Third Review: a triumph again. We switched up this time and had the Aztec Wet Burrito with Carne Asada and Adobada (smoked pork) smothered in green salsa and topped with roasted jalapeños and avocado. Completely delicious. Paired with a Modelo Negra makes for a perfect meal. Thanks again for...

Update July 2024: quality of food has seriously deteriorated. I purchased the tacos just as before, but this time there was no flavor, they were soaked in grease to the point the tortillas fell apart because they were so soggy. The salsa had no flavor either. They obviously have a different cook, maybe even different management, I don't know, but I was very disappointed and will not be going back. My previous review no longer applies. Original (2022): I had the traditional street tacos, 3 for less than $6, and the beef was savory and tender. My lunch companions had chimichangas, which weren't on the menu, but were made by request. The consensus was that they were the best flavored chimichangas they'd ever eaten! The beef was better than the chicken, but both were excellent and HUGE! Enough left over for another meal and at less than $10/ea, was a great value. The restaurant is tucked away just off the main drag, and could be easily missed but for a very large sign that simply states: "Mexican Food". Locals highly recommended the place so we gave it a try and were rewarded with a memorable meal. The interior is small, but comfortable, and there is outdoor seating as well as drive-thru availability and take out options. Menu has a diverse selection of standard Mexican fare as well as some seafood options. Service was excellent and wait time was minimal. We will definitely be...

This was a little gem! We sat out on the patio and it was comfortable even on a hot summer day. Our server came out right away with chips and salsa, and took our drink orders. She was so sweet and efficient. She brought waters next, along with frozen margaritas, which were fine; nothing special. The salsa tasted fresh and different from what we've had other places. It didn't take long to be served our chicken taco salads (we often choose them) and I'm here to tell you - these were special! First, the tortilla shell was not deep fried, so it's a healthier version and still tasty. The chicken was muy delicioso! Fixed a different and yummier way than we've had in our cross-country travels. The bottom layer of the salad was black beans, which are our favorite. The lettuce part was cool and fresh, as was the guacamole. Shredded cheese was sprinkled on top along with colorful, crispy tortilla chips. It was spicy, not too hot, very flavorful. Some kind of sauce was added for a smooth, creaminess throughout. Price was decent for such a...
