Aguirre's acting career began when she was discovered while a teenager, in a beauty contest held by a cinematographic production company called CLASA Films Mundiales, which was looking for new talent. Thus, she and her sister Alma Rosa were chosen to appear in their first film called El sexo fuerte in 1945, directed by Emilio Gómez Muriel. Thereafter, she starred in many types of films such as drama, romance, action, and fiction. Elsa Aguirre appeared with her sister Alma Rosa in some of her films.[citation needed]

One of her films is Algo flota sobre el agua (1947) directed by Alfredo B. Crevenna, in which she starred with Arturo de Córdova. She inspired a song called Flor de azalea, composed by Zacarías Gómez Urquiza and Manuel Esperón exclusively for her. This song was the soundtrack of this film. Aguirre also appeared in theatre, television series, and singing in live shows.[citation needed]
