Laguna Beach

Laguna Beach - Open for Indoor & Outdoor Dining and Takeout.

Established in 2007. It all started in the kitchen in 1966 when Mamá 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.

The Laguna Beach location is owned by third-generation Avila family member, Michael Avila who runs this location with his wife Christine.
