El Aguila Restaurant

​If you’re looking for authentic, flavorful Tex-Mex, El Aguilla is the place to be. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, but the food really stole the show. Everything was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served piping hot. ​A massive shoutout to our waiter, Luz She was absolutely fantastic—attentive, friendly, and had the best recommendations. It’s rare to find service that is both professional and genuinely warm, but Luz nailed it. She made an already great meal even better.

Unfortunately, my experience matched many of the negative reviews about El Aguila’s service and pricing. We came on a Saturday night with a large group (20–30 people) for drinks and dancing. Despite the size of our party, we received only three baskets of chips and salsa, and even after asking several times, we never got refills or even tap water, since they only offer bottled still or sparkling. Drinks and margaritas had no prices listed, so the final bill was a surprise. Food portions were big and nicely plated, but the flavors were only average Tex-Mex. My Lomo Saltado was supposed to be medium rare but arrived completely overcooked and dry. To make things worse, our waitress dropped a heavy plate behind my friend, splattering all over her shirt and leather purse. The restaurant didn’t

I’m obsessed with this food! Omar and Soani were very kind and attentive. This was my first time trying ceviche and I’m blown away. The serving size for the price can’t be beat. I’ll definitely be coming back :)

Stayed in the Rockville area all week on business and ate at a lot of commercial type restaurants (the food was very bland). This restaurant was a welcome change. The food was extremely flavorful and authentic. The waiter was very helpful with helping me make my selection.

This Salvadoran + Tex mex restaurant is really great! Amazing staff, good drinks, better food. Service here is spectacular. I was helped by Samir and Genesis this time. They were happy to help and answer any questions we had. The sizzling fajitas were delicious and great portion wise. Also chicken quesadillas were scrumptious. Everything we had was freshly made and tasted amazing. If you’re in the area, def give this place a chance.
