The Aguilars have continued to be one of the most influential and successful families in Mexican music. Antonio and Flor were also two stars of Mexico’s Golden Age of Mexican cinema. Antonio and Pepe received stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2000 and 2012, respectively. Both singers were also awarded the Lo Nuestro Excellence Award in 2000 and 2012. Flor starred in multiple films that were nominated for Academy Awards.
The continued success of the family throughout three generations of careers as solo artists led to the Aguilar's to be described by some as "Ranchera Royalty". Antonio, Pepe, Leonardo, and Ángela have all been nominated for multiple Grammys or Latin Grammys, with Pepe being the only one to win, with 9 in total.
