Opened in 1999 by Sergio, the Huntington Beach restaurant sports a Baja Surf motif. It is always busy, located on the old Main Street in downtown 'Surf City'. While growing up, the Avila boys used to hang-out in Huntington Beach after school to surf.
It all started in the kitchen over 40 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 11 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...
With an emphasis on freshness and quality, this family-owned restaurant is one of Huntington Beach's favorite Mexican restaurants. Avila's El Ranchito Restaurant serves authentic Mexican cuisine from old-world, vintage family recipes.
