Avila's El Ranchito - Foothill Ranch

Great Service, Fun Staff, Good Food!

Food was just ok. Decor was random but customer service was the best around!

Always a good time.

It was just okay. We ordered a special soup, a platter and soda. It was quite crowded for a Wednesday evening though, may be because of the valentines week.

Consistently good food!

Such a lovely family vibe restaurant. Best salsa, best margaritas, best Mexican food in the area. Servers are great! Jose did a wonderful job, and if you’re lucky you may even get to see an Avila! Family is what this place is all about, and you can feel it right when you enter. Also they do a great happy and a Taco Tuesday. This is your go to spot!

Great food and service

Avila's El Ranchito- Foothill Ranch is a smallish-sized sit-down Mexican food restaurant, with excellent food, great service, & a cutely decorated interior, that made me smile.

Service for our table of 7 was impeccable all evening. Our chip & salsa bowls, as well as our drinks were refilled so quickly, when out, I was amazed.

The star of the show, by far, was Avila's most delicious Mexican food. I ordered a 1 Item Combo, which comes with their deliciously mild Spanish rice & their equally amazing refried beans, which were generously-covered, in a lava flow of cheese. My Chile Relleno was so good! The tender egg outer shell, coated with cheese, plus a most ? sauce, covered a humongous & tender Chile pepper, which oozed cheese, when my fork pierced it. Cheese Lovers will think they've died & gone to heaven, after biting into this.

All the food items our family ordered, looked incredible, & the true test, all 7 of us eating quietly, was achieved, with flying colors.

Avila's Foothill Ranch, is comparable to each Avila's location I've eaten at: Huntington Beach, Corona Del Mar, & San Clemente, plus I think the service at
this one was better than these other three.

I loved it!

Great vibe. A very unique atmosphere with an artistic Mexican theme. Well decorate, very homey and comfortable. Lots of parking in the mall. Food selection was pretty extensive and what I like is that I'm familiar with the dishes. The portions were sufficient and offered great value. I didn't like the tortilla soup. I expected it to be creamy with crushed tortilla but instead it was broth with soggy tortilla chips swimming in the soup with other vegetables like potatoes. I should have read the description more carefully. It was more than I can eat nonetheless. I'd try other dishes next time.

Love this place! Generous portions (including margaritas), friendly staff and large selection of food and drinks. We went here twice back to back!

Normal size margaritas are big, but if you’re brave order the large ??

Delicious food and good service. Nice atmosphere actually super neat atmosphere at all 3 locations I've been to. But, prices seem very high and they really need to consider the bad economy these days. But, then again im sure prices have went up for them too. Margarita's actually delicious and have a kick to them. Didnt have to order an extra shot to doctor it up myself! All in all a very nice Mexican restaurant. I would recommend to others and have!
