DIRTY, inconsistent velocity & sub optimal accuracy has been my experience. Probably fine if doing pistol practice at 10 yards and less.
It is a bit dirty. Only used their 22LR. In my 22 handguns, it slaps steel out to 25 yards without a problem. In my Ruger Charger and 10/22 rifles, same out past 50 yards.

Remington of Mexico is Aquila. 9mm is good as is 38 Special and 45 ACP.
I like their .22 and .32 acp ammo. 9mm, not so much.
I've never had any problems with their ammo, either center fire or rim fire. A bit dirty but not enough so to be an issue. Reliability has been excellent, accuracy varies, some guns liked it more than others. I have shot a lot of their rim fire stuff, they have a number of different loads. Center fire, 32ACP, 38 Auto (not Super, mainly for Astra and Star guns I have) and 38 Special have gotten the most use. I have shot some of their other center fire calibers also, no complaints.
I use their 22 LR ammo with good results but have not had much exposure to 9MM or 223.
Aguila 22lr is one of the very few makes that doesn't work well in my 10-22TD. I haven't been all that impressed with their 9mm, but it did go bang. I'd say its OK practice ammo.

I never had a problem with the few hundred rounds of 9mm I bought a couple of years ago. I shoot their .22 ammo. I use their Standard Velocity and find it equal to the CCI SV. But I'm shooting pistols, rifles might have a different experience. The Aguila SV is not super cheap, but it's cheaper than CCI SV. My extremely finicky High Standard can't tell the difference.
None seemed especially "dirty" to me.

I've used their .22 SV in bullseye competition for 20 years or so, since when CMP used to sell it for $168 a case, delivered. It runs well in my Walther GSP Expert (as does any other brand I've tried) and will group in one ragged hole at 50 ft if I do my part, which I virtually never do. I handload all my centerfire ammo, so have never tried their 9 mm or 5.56.

Have only shot the 22LR. It’s super dirty!
Probably won’t buy anymore.

I’ve used both Aquila .45ACP and 9mm…never had any issues with either. The .45 was good enough I would shoot it in competitions.
The only Aquila ammo I've used is their standard velocity 22 rim-fire. It is very accurate in both my Ruger single Six and an old relined Winchester Low wall rifle. It is also very inexpensive. I need to buy a case.

Has anyone used their 38 Super FMJ? I know it is very popular in Mexico because of their caliber restrictions,I just do not know how good this ammo is in 38 Super.

I use it all the time. Good stuff. One of the few companies churning out .32 S&W Long.
I have more experience with their older 38ACP load (which seems to be discontinued sadly) but shot up a fair amount of it in a Llama 38 Super I had a while back. Shot as accurately as US made ammo I've used. A bit dirty maybe but not enough to be an issue.

This is not correct. From the internet:
"Aguila Ammunition was originally established in collaboration with Remington Arms, but it is currently a separate entity owned by Industrias Tecnos, a Mexican manufacturer. Remington was involved in the early production of Aguila ammunition, but they are not the current owners."

I have only shot their .22lr. No problems but it literally smells funky. Sure it has to do with powder or primer. A very strong after odor unlike other .22 ammo I have used. Anyone else notice that?
