I patronized this establishment a few times and was excited to purchase some of their party trays for a Friday night party a couple weeks ago. I needed enough for 25-30 people. A good sized order that any restaurant would be excited to receive. Not here! I called on a Tuesday for a Friday evening pickup. On the phone is was rudely told this was their "busy time." So i asked, "does this mean I can't order any party platters?" The gal responds, "It's our busy time, sorry" and click. hung up on! Maybe they should stipulate on their catering menu exactly when and when you can't order! A little politeness could have gone a long way. Avila's El Ranchito in Lake Forest or any other town has lost my business.

I love this place!!! They have the best Chicken and Rice Soup, and their fajitas are excellent! Their menu has a big selection which includes all of the usual favorites, expertly prepared. Their salsa is excellent and not too hot. I also love their Chile Relleno. They have a great patio area for dining.

This place was loud and cold. I went on a Friday night when the weather was not very warm and I had to either keep my jacket on the whole night or keep drinking. The Margaritas were very weak and the food tasted and looked like it had been thrown together. Pros: Parking, ambience Cons: Food was overpriced

I ordered a breakfast burrito to go. I t was way overpriced $7.00 plus tax and seasoning was bland. Very few patrons inside. The burger joint next door had a line out the door. Dont recommend

While the ambiance shows the owner's love for the ocean and surfing, the employees create a friendly warm atmosphere. Good place for a small get together with easy mexican dishes. Warm, eclectic and most of all friendly. Pros: AMBIANCE & SERVICE Cons: LACK OF BAR
