" What a hidden gem in the heart of Orange! Finding Avila's felt like a personal win. The pastor tacos were full of flavor, and I can't forget about their signature margaritas, which were extraordinary. Families and groups abound, which adds to the lively atmosphere. I found the service quite quick – our server checked in multiple times. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place if you're in the mood for a casual Mexican meal! The environment is laid-back, and I appreciated the quick service. I specifically loved their house-made chips and guacamole. I had the fish tacos, which were delicious, though a bit greasy. Pricing is good for the portion sizes, and I'd like to bring my family next time. Overall, a good experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Avila's El Ranchito is a delight! The vibrant decor and chill vibe pull you right in. Each visit has been a pleasure; I love their flautas and quesadillas. The portion sizes are generous, especially for the price you pay. If you're seeking a classic Mexican experience with a twist, this place won't disappoint. My only note is that parking can be a chore sometimes, but that's a minor inconvenience for such great food! " (*Curated Review*)

I can't wait to return, this restaurant never disappoints! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Avila's was lovely. The atmosphere is unique and inviting, and the food is pretty good. I ordered a larger variety on my table, and some dishes stood out more than others, which might be expected in such a large menu. Overall, a nice place for family gatherings, though I hope they can maintain the same taste and quality across dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an average experience at Avila's El Ranchito. The setting is charming and comfortable, yet some of the food seemed a bit bland for my taste. The portions were okay, but I was expecting more robust flavors. The service staff were nice and attentive. It might have felt better if I hadn't had such high expectations based on previous visits. I might give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Avila's for a special occasion and were excited by the dining experience. Though our service felt a little rushed at times, the food was well received by everyone in the group. The interior adds such a cozy and inviting charm. I'd like to recommend this place but advise making reservations as it gets busy, especially on weekends. A delightful spot overall! " (*Curated Review*)
