Mexican Restaurant, Taqueria, Market and Catering

Mexican Restaurant Reviews:
"Best Burrito in Menlo Park"

Aguililla (Ah-Gee-Lee-Ya):
1. Literal Translation 'Baby Eagle'.
2. Also A Small Town Found In The Western Region In The State Of Michoacan, Mexico.

History:
Among the latino population of Redwood City/Menlo Park residents
there is a significant amount of mexicanos that can trace their roots back to Aguililla.
Our family has members that have been raised in the town of Aguililla.
The word 'Market' in our name comes from our adaption to the restaurant
business. We began as a market, then a restaurant, then finally converted
into a taqueria in the span of 24 years of business. Starting out making only
quality authentic mexican food, we are now adding fusion cooking to our menu.
Though our menu is not completely traditional to mexican cuisine the same
quality and care is put into our non-traditional dishes. We are confident that
these dishes will compliment our traditional dishes & our reputation of excellent
authentic mexican cuisine.

Owner:
Alex Rojas has operated Aguililla Market for the past seven years. He has kept the family tradition of excellent Mexican cuisine alive as a talented & experimental cook. Using culinary skills & recipes that have stayed in the family over a generation Alex is branching out into Mexican fusion cooking. Other than being a restaurant entrepreneur Alex (a.k.a. Jandro) also occupies his time as a percussionist musician. He plays his percussions to House & Electronic Breaks music with some of San Francisco's hottest Dj's. During the warm weather season you can also see him & Dj friends perform in the back patio of Aguililla Market. Check out 'Aguililla Market Event Calendar' for scheduled events & 'Jandro's Event Calendar' for club events. You'll spot Alex around the taqueria, most likely with his energetic border collie "Shadow" close at his heels. We hope to see you here enjoying the great food & environment that has been newly created over the past couple years of remodeling.

Alex's family also operates Alcazar Tapas Bar and Restaurant in Santa Barbara.
