It all started in the kitchen over 55 years ago. Mama Avila brought the delicious recipes from Guanajuato, Mexico that had been in her family for generations. Over the years, Avila's El Ranchito has grown to 13 locations in Los Angeles and Orange County. Each restaurant is under the personal care of a family member, guaranteeing the reputation the family has earned for treating our customers like part of the family. You will frequently see Sergio Avila as well as his daughters, Maribel and Valerie working hard at this location. Our Taco Bar is a huge hit and a local favorite! Choose from steak, chicken, Mahi Mahi, or our newest addition, Calamari! Each Taco made with love from one of our chefs Saul or Ivan. We have recently welcomed Hand Made Tortillas every day of the week, including Saturday and Sundays! They are a must-try. Served warm with butter! HAPPY HOUR:
Mon-Fri 3 to 6 pm

Corona del Mar and Newport Beach Avila's founder, Sergio Avila, celebrating the opening of his Newport location with his family in 1975. The restaurant may look different 51 years later, but the family love, attention to details and recipes remain the same!

In June 1975 Sergio opened the Newport Beach Avila’s El Ranchito Restaurant. It was the first Avila’s in a beach area. Sergio is celebrating with his parents and family. 🎉🥳
