Went to this place after a family function and the food was amazing. Enchiladas were so good. The servers were always checking in despite it being busy. Great service and I loved the pineapple margaritas they had! Loved the little hacienda type decor. Amazing place.

Update ...seems like so long ago that I posted. It was a cold day out so we decided to go in and have some soup.If you know Avila's, You know they are famous for their chicken soup.I got the soup and tacos combo. It was delicious. The tacos were perfect. Crunchy. The soup was on point. Always great.I would definitely recommend their soup and taco combo.My girlfriend and I were feeling a little sick. So we had a bowl each of the chicken soup. It was delicious !!! It hit the spot!!

Ordered soup and salad online for pickup, arrived 20min later (1:50pm) to get food. Was ignored by the bartender, a server finally assisted me. Was greeted by a second server that told me "your order won't be ready until the time it said on the order, come back in 10 minutes." I'd already waited 25 minutes and the restaurant was nearly empty. Shortly after that the first server handed me my food and apologized, she heard what the second server told me, said he's just having a day. 35 minutes for a lunch soup and salad.The food was good.

No matter what Avila's El Ranchito you go to, you get good food and good service. Each Avila's has their own unique menu and there isn't a bad thing on them. Their margaritas are highly recommended also.

The fried ice cream is not fried: it’s covered with *stale* Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes.

The burrito Fresca I had was $19. It has shrunk by 30%. Basically what you get is the tortilla stuff inside of itself to hide the shortness. Very little food inside. After years of weekly dining I have decided not to go back anymore. The value is just not there. You shouldn’t pay $19 for a burrito and go away

Took my wife for date night and we were very impressed with our visit both of our plates along with the chips and salsa and prices were perfect. Next visit will have to be on the patio with the firepits. Can't wait to taste the breakfast menu ?Parking: The parking lot has plenty of spaces to choose from

This space is really cute, I like the ambience. The food was okay. Not the best Mexican food I've ever had but as expected. The service was wonderful and the food came out quickly. I think this would be a great place to have margaritas and enjoy the cute space.

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Avila’s El Ranchito. I got a 3 items combo plate with enchilada, tamale, and chile relleno. Everything was delicious and fresh. I asked for a spicier salsa and like the normal salsa it had a lot of fresh vegetables and great flavor. The margarita I had with dinner was excellent as well.
