" The dinner at Avila's was splendid! The staff were friendly and quick to cater to our needs. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals, from the enchiladas to the tacos. I also loved the fresh guacamole. We had a big group, and they offered a wonderful balance of flavors and creative options which made it special. Being in a renovated church is an added bonus! I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic experience from start to finish! Our group of friends visited Avila's for my birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make the night special. The food was hot and flavorful, especially the garlic shrimp which was perfectly cooked. I loved sitting outside on the patio, giving us the chance to enjoy the beautiful evening air. While I do think the prices are a bit high, the quality of food and service makes it worth every penny. We will definitely come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the food at Avila's El Ranchito, I felt it fell a bit short of what I would consider truly authentic. But it was still delicious! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a good spot for family gatherings. My recommendation would be the enchiladas; they were delightful, though I wished they could offer a bit more variety in the menu. Overall, good but could benefit from an authenticity boost.

" 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*)
