It's a great tasting pleasant experience . Great friendly service to go along with the ambiance !

Every meal I've had there was excellent! The carnitas are amazing! I often buy breakfast burritos to give away to friends and family.

Burrito the size of my arm! Service wasn't great, but the good was delicious! Chicharrones were on point. Good chops and salsa. Chorizo queso dip was bomb!

My second time here. The quesabirria tacos were so good! They have specials each weeknight. That's a great way to go through different menu items. Service could be quicker, but it was tolerable. I'll be back. Large and lively dining area.

I love this place! Me and my friend go here all the time. Love the salsa and green chile. They are spicy and delicious! Service is always awesome and food comes out quickly. Good size portions for the cost. The restaurant is very comfortable and nice to enjoy a good meal. They made my friends day on his birthday with a surprise dessert! I've been here many times and will continue to return!

The food here is delicious and plentiful. We were long time customers of a neighboring Mexican restaurant, Salsas, however the owner has let her staff run the place into the ground. Conversely, not only is the food better at Aguascalientes, it is more affordably priced and the service is exceptional. In addition, the chips and salsa are still complimentary. This is a restaurant that appreciates their clientele, rather than disregarding their presence and disrespecting them.

Great food and great service in a casual atmosphere. We came here specifically based on our search for the famous Pueblo heirloom "slopper", a staple unique to this region of Colorado and known very little outside the area. For those that don't know, a slopper is basically a butter toasted bun, ground beef, salsa made with Pueblo (similar to Hatch) chilies, French fries, all smothered with cheese and served on a platter. El Aguascalientes absolutely makes a killer creation notably known as the slopper, but I should add that I've never had another one for comparison. Several companions I traveled with have enjoyed the Pueblo sloppers before and all said El Aguascalientes would rank 9/10 but they're partial to an establishment in Pueblo. Top it off with house margaritas for $5 on Wednesdays and the house chips and salsa, both phenomenal by the way. The house Salsa had so much flavor and a lot of burn yet still mild in nature, although some may consider it "hot". Thanks so much for your friendliness and hospitality! Will definitely return next time I'm out.

Evelyn and Jack are the best they are great service always smiling and thinking the customers no matter how overwhelming and busy this place gets with very few service the food is absolutely the best

Perfect modest Mexican restaurant! Nice spice, heat, and flavor! Super friendly service! Had the special - carnitas plate - the pork was perfect!! Will come again!

Man oh man where do I begin. By far a new favorite for sure. I ordered the fajitas and they were so good. It came out in a skillet piping hot and sizzling. So hot that I forgot it was hot and burned my arm. Smh. They give you chips and salsa to snack on while your food cooks but honestly don't need to eat that many because the food come out super fast. Had a margarita and it was great! Super refreshing and delicious and yes you can taste the alcohol in it. I have 0 complaints. I love how friendly all the staff was. I don't remember the pricing but from what I can remember it was pretty reasonable. But I am always down for paying for quality.
