We went there for a family celebration (3 generations) so there were eight in our party. One of the family members was in a wheelchair so the hostess was kind enough to seat us in the back room. This was ideal because another family member has hearing issues and it was quieter in that room. The food was excellent. Can't wait to go back again!

Excellent Food Drinks are good Service is always good & courteous Highly recommend

Come for the food, margaritas, and service, but stay for the charming neighborhood. I've been to several Avila's locations. This one, in my opinion, tops the chart because of the neighborhood. I can easily see that parking could get tricky during prime dining hours, and I imagine as the weather gets more perfect, this gem will get crazy busy, so be sure to keep that in mind. Avila's menu is predictable with options for any palate. Salsa, guacamole, chips, you know the drill. I had the Tampequeña and have to admit I've had better. I prefer a medium rare steak and would have liked an a la diabla shrimp enchilada, but apart from that, my meal was good. Note to self: stick to carnitas. There is an outdoor area - lovely for those warm evenings when sipping margaritas are the way you roll. Parking surrounding the restaurant, and they have a private lot too, but again, this area is popular so parking could get hairy. Chips, dip, sip, repeat in this sweet, converted church, and say a prayer for good measure.

We went into Avila's El Ranchito for an afternoon lunch. We were sat at a table fairly quickly by a really good service person. Our drinks came right out in our food followed shortly. The food was really good and came out hot. Our server checked several times to make sure we had everything we needed. The inside is nicely set up with some tables having a good view of the back parking lot and some in the front look out onto the street. If you're looking for some good Mexican food, this is the place to go.

Food was off the charts, the Ceviche was the best I have at a restaurant. Awesome building and decor.

I've been to multiple Avila's location. This is become a must stop when I visiting from Washington! The way the staff welcomes you and the unique atmosphere of the place, reminiscent of an old church, really seem to make each visit special. It's not just about the food, which clearly is a highlight with the famous caldo and the must-have crispy taco, but also about the feeling of connection and warmth that turns a simple meal into a memorable occasion. The streak and garlic shrimp is also another favorite of mine. It's wonderful to find such a gem during my travels from Washington. I plan to have many more visits to Avila's. With the goal to visit all of there locations.

First of all, it's so beautiful inside. The historic stained glass church interior really adds to the atmosphere. The food is good/reliable and very reasonably priced. If you like soup...GET IT! So fresh and delish, my fave thing in the menu. Huge portion also. They are great with larger parties too went with 8 people total, everyone ordered something different, nobody was displeased. Service was knowledgeable, reliable and very friendly.

Always love Avila's and this winter was no different. Hosted some out of town friends and we had a great time. The chips and salsa here really hit different, our waiter was amazing. The ambiance was super festive, especially for Christmas! PRO-TIP: the parking lot at the restaurant is crazy small, so don't waste time trying to park there. The church side of the street is the best option for parking.

Loved this restaurant especially knowing that it used to be a church which has been turned into a Mexican Restaurant... The customer service was great, and the food was good too... I look forward to trying more items off of their menu in the near future...
