Avila's El Ranchito - Costa Mesa

Great customer service...

Our server Jaide was awesome! The food was great and we are Mexicans… meaning, we are very picky about Mexican food.

I was a regular at Avila’s HB before they closed temporarily, but this location is even better! The environment was so warm and welcoming, and the food was great as usual!

Brought 6 people to eat at 830 when it said they’re open till 9. Walked in to him saying they were closed although it was crowded inside. Been going to Avila’s for years. Unfortunately this manager has directed our business elsewhere. Ended up at Mario’s. If you advertise that your open till 9 then stay open till 9. Especially when it’s busy. Poor management.

Very dependable, I like to go between lunch and dinner in order to miss the rush, it's understandably popular, the combo with chile relleno and cheese enchilada with tomatillo sauce is my favorite. Friendly bar service, and the owner/manager is very personable and friendly. Vegetarian options: Combo with cheese enchilada/tomatillo sauce and chili relleno is very good. Parking: I prefer to go between lunch and dinner to avoid the crowds and struggle with parking. Wheelchair accessibility: They have a section for handicap parking.

A good little Mexican restaurant. Nothing exceptional, but generally pretty good.
