Avila's El Ranchito offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere with friendly and attentive service. The staff, including Salvador, are happy to accommodate special requests and help make celebrations memorable. The food is consistently delicious, with popular dishes like the taquito combination platter, Chilli Verde, and fajitas. All tortillas are made fresh to order, enhancing every dish, and even the tortilla chips are hard to resist. Guests enjoy a variety of meals including tacos, enchiladas, chicken mole, and burritos. While some may find the mole sauce not as dark and chocolatey as preferred, the overall food quality is high, with many dishes rated in the 80th and 90th percentiles. The restaurant is clean and inviting, and all dishes are handmade and beautifully prepared. Guests often recommend saving room for the fried ice cream, which is served with extra spoons for sharing during celebrations. The restaurant also takes dietary restrictions seriously, cooking food separately to avoid cross contamination, making it a safe choice for those with allergies. Overall, it’s a great spot for good food and fun times with friends and family, with a good selection of beer on the menu.
