" After hearing so much about Avila's, I finally decided to give it a shot. I went with my friends for dinner and we were all blown away! The ambiance is welcoming and warm, which made us feel right at home. I tried the shrimp fajitas, which were cooked to perfection. My only criticism was that the service was a bit slow at times, likely due to how busy they were. Nonetheless, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food!
