As soon as I see Taqueria Aguila is popping up at one of my go-to spots, I mark my calendar (yes, I…read morehave an actual paper calendar, very retro.) I love the food, but shout out to the service. Anytime I have a question about a menu item, they excitedly explain. A few times now, based on what I like, I got a suggested combination of plates. The person at the window recently turned me on to their hot chili oil. I thought it would be delicious, of course, but typical to hot oils I've had in the past-nope! It was very spicy, but with a rich nuttiness. Delish.
The way they slow cook the meat with love is obvious in the tender, developed flavor. But for me, it's about the sides! I tried the onion, grilled on open flame and seasoned to perfection. I felt like a little rabbit gnawing on goodies straight from the garden. Wild. So good.
Definitely give them a follow on Instagram so you can check them out as they travel from kitchen to kitchen across the Lou.
(I know adding drinks to y'alls menu might add a wrench into your very well-oiled machine, but if I ever see horchata added to your menu, I will lose my MIND with excitement to try it.)
