Avila's El Ranchito

This is my very favorite location out of all the Avila’s restaurants. It is eclectic and they know how to make you feel welcome. Have to wait 20 minutes on average for a seat. But it’s worth it. They are quick to bring chips and salsa to your table. The table side guacamole is great too especially if you are treating guests.

The food is great! Our server, Yolanda, was friendly and caring, and even the manager walked over to check on us. The atmosphere was fun and friendly! Overall, the experience was relaxing with a home feeling! Thank you, all!

Our experience at El Ranchito had stood out from any other restaurant I have been to in a long time! Our server Rocky was extremely friendly and a pleasure to have. After knowing it was my girlfriends first time there, he generously compt us a few small items from the menu to try. Food was so good and is in my opinion the best out of all local Mexican food restaurants. We were also greeted by the manager with exceptional kindness! Shredded beef tacos are the best I have had!

I'm not an expert on Mexican food but I was really happy with this place. The staff were excellent and very welcoming. The hostess helped me decide a suitable menu for us and we were happy with her choice for us. My wife, being a vegetarian, was especially happy with the variety of options for her. The food was fresh n had great flavor. The meal was mild enough for my kids to enjoy it as well.
The ambience was excellent and exciting. I'm surely going there again!

We enjoy El Ranchito in Lake Forest so much, we thought we'd try this one! We were not disappointed! We noticed a few differences in their menu but the food was great ! The service top notch, and friendly! It was busy but we were not rushed. Thank you El Ranchito for a great place to celebrate together!
