My co-workers have been bragging about Avila's El Ranchito since at got hired a few months ago. Last week I decided to finally join them and see what all the hype was about. As soon as I walked in I noticed the lady at the front making handmade tortillas, a sight only familiar to me in restaurants that I've visited in Mexico. After debating for a few minutes on what to order, I asked for the Carne Asada plate, I needed to order something that would come with the handmade tortillas. The food was execellent, the rice fluffy, the beans just perfect not too dry not too runny and the meat was lean and cooked to perfection. The tortillas were by far the best I've had in California and asked the waitress for butter and she smiled knowing exactly what I was planning to do with it. She said that was her favorite way of eating these tortillas too so I let the butter melt and enjoyed a few tortillas a la carte before finishing my carne asada. The food and service was excellent. This is one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in Southern California.
Pros: Excellent Food and Great service
Cons: No banquet room but they do caterings!
