My family has been coming here weekly for the past 15 years. That pretty much says it all. The food and staff are fabulous
I've been to many of the El Ranchito locations. This one is small and has a Taco Bell vibe. The drinks are watered down and taste pre made. Food was ok. Service good
Excellent food and service. Very clean and a very friendly atmosphere.
I have been to Avila’s in Orange a few times and received excellence service and good food. When compared to this location in Laguna Niguel, I wasn’t impressed. The group I was with was on the larger side (totaling 10) of us. 3 people didn’t get their meals until a good 5 minutes after the rest of us. My iced tea was never refilled, nor was I offered the usual square of sweeteners. When we did get some, it was one box placed at the far end of our table for the other person that ordered tea. Of course we are capable of passing it back and forth, but for such a large group, two containers would have been nice. The shrimp enchiladas were bland and there was nothing to really bind the tortilla and shrimp together. I couldn’t get both shrimp and tortilla in my mouth at the same time without really making an effort to use my fingers to keep enchilada folded up attempting to obtain a multi layered bite. The patio was a nice atmosphere overall and despite being on a busy intersection corner, the traffic noise did not interfere with our conversations.
I’m not one to complain, but when I spend $25 on two substandard enchiladas and an iced tea-(not including a tip) I feel like other people should be aware. If you are a shrimp enchilada fan and don’t mind the drive, up in my neck of the woods, Taco Adobe in Orange has great service, better pricing, better salsa and a killer shrimp enchilada combo.
