This is the place to swing by on the way from Utah to the Bay Area. Modest exterior. Fabulous food! You can't go wrong given the menu options. The 3 enchilada combo was great. We would definitely return next time we are on I-80. read more

Another Yelper claimed this to be the swing by place on the trek from California to Utah. They are definitely right! Thoroughly enjoyed dinner here! Prices were very reasonable and the food was some of the best Mexican I've had! Portions were huge too! Service was quick and friendly and we enjoyed the old-time converted fast food place vibe. Definitely coming back on my next trip through the area! read more

I have yet to have anything but a great meal here. Owner is wonderful and treats everyone like friends. Food is fresh and lovingly prepared. My daughter loves the carne asada plate and I'm a sucker for their enchiladas mole. So good. Prices are a steal, service is warm and friendly, bathrooms are nice and clean, and while I have not had one myself, I'm told that the margaritas are delicious and the beer extra cold! Can't miss place for me, eat there every time I'm in battle mountain read more

We stopped in here while we charged our Tesla. The service was outstanding and the food was great. We had the #16 with a chimichanga and an enchilada. I also added a margarita. The food and drinks arrived quickly and hot! Which was perfect since we were charging up the truck too. read more

Taco salad very disappointing. Burnt tortilla and put all the meat in shell and ruined it. Salad itself was not fresh and salsa put on top was watery. I did not eat it. Very gross. I have no complaint about the service and the ambience was about what I would expect. read more

Why would you eat anywhere else? Shrimp was tender not overcooked and comes on a giant 2 foot plate. Plenty of protein! read more

Very cute place with friendly waiter. Best queso dip ever! Ate too many chips to enjoy my meal, but the enchilada, taco, tamale combo was very good. I would definitely come back when coming through battle mountain. read more

We had dinner here on 10/11/25. Friendly waiter. I had chicken enchiladas suiza, very good, with beans and a small salad. We were close to our hotel in Battle Mountain, NV. It was a good place to eat dinner. read more

Crazy good food here. Nice staff. Will remember to stop here on drives across Nevada!!

Stopped in Battle Mountain for work and this gem of a restaurant hit the spot! The decor is very lovely and authentic and the service was quick and friendly. We even practiced our Spanish and that was great. I ordered combo 1 with an enchilada, tomal, and taco plus beans and rice. Overall it was very delicious but if you like your enchiladas wet, ask for extra sauce. It did have a lot of shredded cheddar cheese on the top, so if you are bothered by that consider having it on the side instead. I'd go back again! A big plus--we were seated by their heater and that was perfect on this snowy day. The locals say they love it here. read more

This place is great. We usually stop in Elko going to SLC or Reno to eat but this place has the best Mexican food. Get off the freeway in Battle Mountain and support a hard working family and their employees. read more

We stopped at El Aguila Real for lunch on our way from CA to ID. It was easy to pop off and back on the freeway. The restaurant was casual, with clean bathrooms, an extensive menu, large portions of flavorful Mexican food, and amazing service with a smile! Our server made it a great dining experience. If we lived locally, we'd be frequent diners. read more

5 stars on all fronts- great food/service/pricing. I even loved that what appeared to be an elderly homeless woman came in and asked for ice and water (it was hot outside) and he gave it to her with amazing grace. The beef fajitas were delicious. I just wish I lived closer :-(. Definitely worth a short diversion off hwy 80. read more

This place are always our go to stop on our trips to Utah. Absolutely love it. Very friendly staff and great food. The Pollo à la Crema is great. read more

This restaurant changed the amount that was charge on my card and entered in a higher tip without my authorization. Will be disputing and making a claim with my bank. They also up charged us for items without our knowledge and didn't come back to the table with items we requested. They seem really friendly but really shady business practices. Was just driving through, so won't be my problem. read more

Food was amazing!!! Service was excellent. Bathrooms are clean which is a great plus.

Upon walking in, I could tell this was going to be a great spot. I was seated immediately, and given a menu, chips, salsa and beans then asked what I wanted to drink. They had my favorite (sprite), and into the menu we went. The menu is rather large. GREAT for people driving through that would like some variety, but I tend to stay away from large menus. I ordered the Burrito De Carne Asada, and really the flavor was great. I would have preferred that the Carne Asada was cut up a little more. It's a little annoying to take a bite and half the burrito comes out with it, haha. Either way, a great flavor and not a mess to eat with a fork and knife. The veggies and guacamole on top were a nice touch, but next time I'd ask for more of the onions. Really I need to try more of the menu, but I'd be excited to bring my wife here when (if) we are in Battle Mountain together. read more

If you have two thumbs and like authentic Mexican served on plates the size of hub caps, then you found the right place. I make my way to Battle Mountain every year for work and make it a point to get my Mexican fix here. Best traditional style food I have had North of the New Mexico border. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, only wish they packed in a little more spice. Service is great, friendly and fast. read more

El Aguila Real - Beef and bean burrito - Mexican Near Me - Battle Mountain, Nevada

Street Taco! This place is awesome! The service is great and the food is amazing, I stop by every time I am in Battle Mountain.

Super friendly wait staff. Huge menu! I chose the beef Colorado burrito which was really bursting with all the right flavors. Some of the best Mexican rice ever. Hubby had the #1 combo plate with taco, enchiladas and a tamale. He said it was really good. Be careful the plates come out really HOT! There is not much in this town. Fortunately for the locals or folks like us passing through this place is here to serve up the most authentic Mexican fare. We would eat here a lot if we lived near. Don't let the location stop you from eating here. Oh and many choices of bottled beers! read more
