" Although I enjoyed the ambiance and overall experience, the food left much to be desired. I ordered the crab enchiladas, but they were surprisingly bland. Despite that, the service was attentive, so it softened the blow a bit. Maybe I'll explore the menu a bit further next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Avila's thinking I would try something new, but my meal was not as great as I expected. The pork carnitas were dry, and I found them lacking in flavor. The service, however, was fantastic; our waiter was attentive and friendly but asking for my second drink took a little while. I might give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an excellent time at Avila’s El Ranchito! The vibrant setting made our group feel like we were at an authentic Mexican fiesta. I tried the shrimp tacos and they were to die for, with fresh ingredients and great flavor. The service was exceptional and quick, even during the busy dinner hours. Definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been to. Can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience on my last visit. The staff seemed overwhelmed, leading to a long wait for service. The food was okay, but my tacos were cold and lacked flavor. The restaurant itself is cute, but that wasn’t enough to make up for the food quality this time. May return, but probably not in a hurry. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited Avila’s for a special occasion. While the ambiance was delightful, the food was extremely disappointing. I had the carne asada plate, but the meat was dry and lacked flavor. The waiter was attentive, which saved the night. Hopefully, it was just an off night…I’ll consider trying it again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down one of the best places for authentic Mexican food! The carne asada is melt-in-your-mouth good. The chips and fresh guacamole are a must-have. The atmosphere is fun and lively, a perfect spot for family gatherings or casual nights with friends. Will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Avila's was an experience to behold. The shrimp tacos prepared with fresh ingredients exploded with flavor. I couldn't get enough of their delicious chips and salsa. The atmosphere exudes a comforting vibe that reminds me of home in Mexico. Service was fast and friendly, what more could you ask for? " (*Curated Review*)
