Avila's El Ranchito

Top notch service and Mexican food... Best shrimp Fajitas ever! The vegetarian bowl my daughter ordered was a hit. Delicious skinny margaritas, although I have them add more club soda and fresh lime because it gives it a nice lift. The servers and manager were especially welcoming, wow! Such a friendly and cohesive team... it was a cozy fun place to spend a lovely dinner by the ocean. Highly recommend!

The food wasn't bad but not like wow either; good. My mom got Mari's quesdilla and it only had a few shrimp. I got the chingalinga. We waited way too long for the third plate and different servers had come by. There were forgotten orders too.

The food was good. I ordered enchiladas rancheras and my husband ordered the carnitas plate. It was what you would expect from a Mexican Food restaurant in California. I ordered a watermelon margarita and that was delicios! made with fruit, not syrup. Loved it. The service was great!! Our server was super friendly, our food was served fast, and it was hot, which was great! I hate cold or lukewarm food. They had indoor and outdoor seating, and the ambiance was good. Plenty of tv's to watch sports. You can also sit at a bar stools that face the sidewalk and people watch. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 was the parking situation. They have parking in the back, but they had cones blocking the stalls. But overall a very pleasant Sundy Brunch experience.
