Staff: We experienced the best customer service we've had in all of 2024 outside of our trips to Japan. The staff here is next level incredible. Our server was Ivanna who was out of this world amazing. She was incredibly friendly, sincere, attentive, and overall the epitome of top notch service. Edwin also helped her with service and he was awesome. Overall the staff here made us feel so welcome and truly showed their appreciation for our business. Service was 10 stars if that was possible. Quality/Quantity: The food here is really good. Been customers of the location in Orange for 20 years or so. Tonight we had a group of 8 so not going to list everything we ate but here is a small list. 1) Avila soup which was delicious 2) Beef/Potato tacos huge and very flavorful 3) Taquitos were really good 4) Abondegas 5) Blood Orange Margaritas was pretty good, and more. Lastly for the birthday celebration they provided deep fried ice cream which was heavenly. All food quantities were generous. The only food item I would modify is make the salsa thicker so not pico de gallo but blended. Value: The pricing is a little high in my opinion at $21 for 2 tacos, beans, and rice. However, the quality of food, great service, and ambiance makes it worth it. Overall: We were truly amazed at the service and food. Most definitely we will be returning soon.

It's a great day when you find another location to this epic Mexican food brand! It's a smaller footprint than other locations but that only adds to its ambience. The team works so in sync, like a family restaurant that the local community cherishes. Many regulars came and went and were greeted warmly. With everyone sharing the same enthusiasm to deliver a stellar experience; you'll want for nothing and leave stuffed from delicious food. Look forward to bringing my family to this location!

If you've been in Orange county for any amount of time, let alone lived here for most of your life, you've been to one of the Avila's El ranchito that are dotted through OC. This one in Laguna Niguel is a little bit farther from the freeway than you would probably like, however, it is fantastic as always. The servers are all very nice and once they get to know to you you are always greeted like a champ! For those looking for a lighter fare, go for the caldo y tacos which is always a hit. Their nachos are reasonably priced and include the meat. A lot of these places. Now you have to pay 20 bucks for nachos and if you want meat it's another five or six bucks. Not here. The 50/50 enchiladas are amazing. They're refried beans are killing it. Don't forget their crunchy tacos. If you're in this neck of the woods, please try this place out or any of the others dotted throughout the landscape. Support your local.

This place has some of the best Mexican food, one of my favorite dishes is avocado bowl it's so yummy, my husband loves their tacos! Always wonderful service, love the location as well, in beautiful Laguna Niguel!

Went for a drive, quick walk and to grab some tacos. Still searching for the best taco. Started with some chicken tortilla soup and then moved on to a la carte tacos. Pretty decent. Service was ok. We had to continuously ask for items to be brought to us because the server kept forgetting.

I got takeout so I can't speak on the service or ambiance. Tampiqueno-- i think my favorite part of this were the beans LOL. The chicken enchilada was good but the steak was a little tough. Guac and salsa were excellent! I'm from the east coast so the salsa tasted unique and fresh to me. Blackened shrimp salad-- not a lot of avocado and ok amount of shrimp. I'm not a big fan of salad so there was too many greens for my taste haha. It could've used more sauce or dressing, as it was really dry.
