Huntington Beach - Open for Indoor & Outdoor Dining and Takeout.
Established in 1999. It all started in the kitchen in 1966. 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 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.
Opened in 1999 by Sergio Avila, the Huntington Beach restaurant sports a Baja Surf motif and is always busy! “Surf City USA”. Sergio’s daughters, Maribel and Valerie operate this location carrying on the traditions of three generations!
