Avila's El Ranchito is a cozy restaurant located in Orange County, offering prix-fixe menus during Restaurant Week. The menu includes options like crispy tacos, flautas, and Mama Avila's chicken soup. The generous servings of guacamole might feel excessive to some, but the overall experience is delightful. The ambiance is inviting, with open doors letting in a refreshing ocean breeze. The outdoor seating is dog-friendly, making it a great spot for Padres fans looking to lift their spirits. The Baja bowl with chicken is a standout dish, topped with a large avocado. The service is fast and friendly, creating a relaxed and casual dining experience with incredible food quality.
Avila's El Ranchito on Del Mar has become a go-to spot for families. It's casual, welcoming, and perfect for taking the kids. The enchiladas with mole sauce are a favorite, rich and flavorful. Portions are generous, the food is consistently great, and the staff is friendly and fast. The San Clemente location is owned by Victor Avila, son of founders Salvador and Margarita Avila, who began their Mexican restaurant legacy in 1966 in Huntington Park.
