El Aguila - Gulfport

Always Always excellent food and service . Must try beef brisket nachos and pineapple salsa. Hubby's pick for his Father's Day dinner so we went yesterday. Did not disappoint!

This was a HIGHLY recommended restaurant by many of our more high end friends with money (not us . We were pretty excited though. Parking was weird had to park in a grassy lawn. The bartender said the wait would be about 15 minutes. We ended up waiting an hour with 3 restless kids. When we were finally sat, the chef/owner(? came by and took our initial order for drinks, specialty salsa, guac, etc. All we received was chips. The drinks took 15 minutes, the salsa never came, and 2 guacs were delivered to another table that were sat long after us. Another server came over and asked for our order. I also mentioned the other table already got guac (not actually table side , and we still hadn 't gotten salsa or drinks. He came back 15 minutes later with drinks no guac. At this point I 'm ready to leave. Long story short, the food (when we finally got it was not great. No better than your hole in the wall spots. Barely covered half the plate. Server seemed ready to leave. Managers went to the rich person table asking how everything was but I noticed that 's the only one they stopped at. I suppose if it looks like you have money, you 're treated well. Those people did know the manager and seemed to frequent the place, but we still felt ignored. As of right now we won 't be going back. Aztecas is better in every way imaginable. Hopefully this place can improve and maybe we 'll give it another shot down the road.

Second time I've been here. Service was not good, waiting for drinks, steak was overcooked.

Last night, my husband and I ate here for the first time. We received a friendly greeting shortly after entering and were promptly seated.Chips and salsa were delivered to our table almost immediately. The salsa was fresh and mild.I had the sauteed zucchini with chicken, which is served with a mushroom cream sauce. It was quite tasty! My husband had the chicken enchiladas, which he said he enjoyed.We shared a flan (pictured). It was creamy and not too sweet. Sometimes flan can be eggy, but this wasn't.We chatted with our server a little. Everyone was friendly! We'll definitely be back.

Food is an elevated Mexican menu and was wonderful! Service was excellent!
