Avila's El Ranchito - Seal Beach

"Been to different locations and never had any bad dishes until today. I ordered the enchiladas nortenas. The rice was old, the chicken was dry, and the beans had been sitting. It's gonna be a NO to this location on future trips."

"They have indoor and outdoor seating. Heaters outside. Fast friendly service. They don't skimp on food for sure. The salsa was fresh and chunky. The refried beans were homemade and creamy. The prices were 15-20 a plate. Great location."

"I have celiac and came to Avila’s for their gluten free menu, however they don’t treat gluten allergies properly. I ordered from the gluten free menu and was assured the meal I ordered would avoid cross contact. Not only was I served regular, non gluten free enchiladas but after flagging this to the server, the manager even came over and informed us “sometimes the rice is not gluten free”. Photos of the first meal I was served and the “correct gluten free” meal they served me after. Be advised to if you’re eating here with a gluten allergy!"

"What a fantastic quaint Mexican restaurant. We were greeted and seated immediately. The staff is warm, caring and friendly. I had the Cadillac margarita and a chimichanga that was amazing. The pricing is more then fair ND I cannot recommend enough this wonderful place to stop for a pleasant meal."

"Yummy traditional Mexican food at Avila's El Ranchito on Seal Beach's Main Street! The chips and salsa were fresh and tasty and bought us some time to look over the menu! I ordered the fresh guacamole and chips to start and then chicken fajitas for the entree! Both were so good I would come back anytime! The beach and good Mexican food go hand in hand!! Def worth stopping in!"
