    Happy hour is great here but the bar section is small, Avila's location on first st has a larger bar section and they serve free Veges with ranch dressing.

    Great dine in taco Tuesday specials! Never have to wait long for food. Check out the patio/deck seating if you're looking for something a little more quiet than the echoing church setup inside.

    If you're a fan of albondigas, don't pass up theirs! It's delicious. Order a side of rice and put it in the broth.

    I love Avila's. This location has limited parking, but do-able. The building is an old church, and feels huge inside. Same food I get at the other stores, Quality Mexican food, served quick and hot.

    The hostess wasn't friendly & after we received our check, she kept staring at us, it wasn't difficult to ascertain that she wanted us to clear out. . Also, the carnitas were dry & tough. :/
