Avila's El Ranchito Lake Forest

Avila's El Ranchito Lake Forest It all started back in the kitchen in 1966, when the Avila family came to the United States from Gua
(1375)

Each restaurant is family-owned so that we can serve you with the highest quality, fresh, authentic Mexican food in a fun atmosphere. Each location also has their own specialty dishes and drink specials. Our location is known for their grande burritos and delicious margaritas.

Thank you Mayor Robert Pequeno and for making us business of the month! June was the hardest challenge for our little family restaurant with a 10 day closure due to a unforeseen plumbing issue. But with the support of our fellow business, the city, and the amazing customers and community we have, we are able to still be here and stand here and receive this award. Thank you everyone who has come out to dine with us and reposted us and prayed for us. We appreciate you more than you know! Thank you Lake Forest! Thank you OC! We love you!

Sincerely,
Nathalie Avila Ruttkay & the Avila’s Lake Forest staff

We’re officially open! Mayor Robert Pequeno stopped by to show his support. We couldn’t be more thankful for him and for the city of Lake Forest and all they have done to help us through this hard time. Shout out to Bru Grill for showing us love and support too! We won’t survive without the help of the Lake Forest community and we are so grateful for every customer that dines with us after these 10 days of unprecedented closure. The team here at Avila’s Lake Forest loves you! -Nathalie

Thoughts and prayers for our team and our location. Prayers over these city officials and inspectors and these plumbers. This was so out of our control and turned into a devastating situation. We need your kind words to lift us up and keep us going. We will need your support when we reopen. This has been so hard. Thank you and we love you all- Nathalie
