Let me start by saying that I never leave reviews, but today is an exception. We casually came to this area to have a quick bite and decided to try Avila’s, and we were impressed with both food taste and restaurant experience.

Really good! Loved the ranchera salsa! Enchilada was average. Grilled chicken was excellent. The atmosphere was great! I loved that they were kinda high tech. Their portable payment machines and stuff was cool. Only downside is two cokes, a two item combination plate, and tiny guacamole was $41.00 after tax and tip. That’s unreasonable.

First time after a recommendation from Beth at Pilates Club. Had the taquitos dorados with the crunch taco de carne desebrada. I would come back just for the salsa and chips. Taquitos were freshly made and the beef was juice full of flavor. The same for the hard taco freshly made and all the toppings fresh. My guacamole was a bit hard but I’ll blame that on the difficulty to have ripe avocados 24-7. Restrooms clean and overall great atmosphere while eating.

Food is alright , customer service is probably the worst I’ve experienced in my life . You walk in , no one welcomes you or even bothers looking at you, I passed by 2 waitresses and was completely ignored, I had a question , no one came up

The place is small, clean, nice atmosphere and service is friendly and attentive. It’s a Mexican place and everything in the restaurant ties nicely into that theme.

This place is awesome. The flavor is really authentic Mexican. They made a guacamole right in front of us, therefore it had an incredible fresh flavor. Prices are very good too.

I had guests visiting from Japan. First time eating Mexican food, they loved the combos. They had never tasted an avocado, so the guacamole was a hit!

I ordered daily special today (Nathalies’s special), and there was a big bug in the salad portion of the dish.
