Yelp.com Review - by Cheyenne K.

3.0 of 5 stars. In reading about Avila's, I fully expected to be blown away by the quality of food, service, and ambiance. Though I thought the food was good, I wouldn't say that it is any better than many of the...

Naysayers Must Not Like Traditional Mexican Food

My family, friends, and I have enjoyed food from both Leos and Avilas locations for over 50 years. The food is consistent, and always very good. It is not gussied up, or masked as some kind of new wave cuisine. The dining areas have a comfortable family atmosphere with a Southwestern flair. Enough said!

Yelp.com Review - by Seth R.

5.0 of 5 stars. Avila's is probably my favorite mom-and-pop Mexican restaurant in El Paso, and that says ALOT. They have amazingly tasty gorditas, great combos, their salsa is unique and very tasty, and their chips...

Longtime Mexican favorite

Originally called Leo's, Avila's is a staple for Mexican food on the west side of El Paso. Everything comes out quickly, is consistently good, and reasonably priced.

GREAT FOOD

Avila's is a great place to take your family or business clients. The queso is awesome as are the serving plate portions. At the end, enjoy cinnamon or regular soapapillas!

Not what it was?

I have friends who think this is a pretty good restaurant, but I can only believe it's due to past reputation. My typical visit includes a long time to place an order, an even longer time to get food, and then...

Can't see how this is the best in El Paso at all.

I have never had a bad server here, or seen any scandalous employee behavior. But the food is just average. Not great, but not bad. The ambience is crowded, not pleasant. The menu is boring. Too bad the...

Not good.

Avila's used to be wonderful but now I am not so sure. I'm sorry to say that today, this restaurant could not be more overrated. The food was not the best I've had, especially on the borderland. The entire...

Was underwhelmed

Alvila's is an old family restaurant and has a good reputation, but I found the food to be bland and boring. The sauce on the chiles rellenos tasted like undiluted tomato soup. The tacos were greasy ans the...
