What Emiliano Christiansen likes about Avila's El Ranchito Mexican:
We picked this restaurant based off of previous reviews somewhere we could ride bikes to from our AirBNB. It was easy to get to not far from where we were staying. The chicken soup was delicious! All of our entrees were good. Definitely had reasonable prices. The service was slow. Our server seemed to have forgotten about us (maybe because we sat outside). We'll definitely eat here again next time we're in Newport. T... View all feedback. What Ashleigh Carroll doesn't like about Avila's El Ranchito Mexican:
I was very impressed by the service, the hosts, and waitress was a joy. The food was not so good, but I could come back if it was only spiced and a little spicy to what Mexican cuisine should be. That's my opinion about the food. In another note, the music and atmosphere was great that felt me in a good mood. View all feedback.

The reviews for this restaurant are a mix of positive and negative experiences. Many diners were impressed by the atmosphere and service, with compliments for friendly hosts and waitstaff. Some highlighted the delicious food, with standout items like the Mama Avila soup and fantastic guacamole. However, other customers were disappointed with the food quality and service, citing issues like missing orders, communication problems, and high prices. Overall, it seems the restaurant offers a mixed experience, but it could be worth a visit for those looking for a fun atmosphere and standout dishes.
