Is a small restaurant but when you have good food good service it doesn’t matter, I tried the bread pudding was warm and delicious

Stephanie Yarbrough

The drinks were amazing and the salsa is top notch. They must fire roast their veggies in the salsa because you can taste a char. The salsa also had a good kick to it. We actually asked for some to-go! The enchiladas were great and the pozole was comforting.

This Dallas hole in the wall is not to be missed. The salsa has the right amount of kick, the meat they use is top notch, and the service is great. But oh my, the bread pudding is absolute heaven. My whole family has declared it their favorite dessert in the city.

The best Mexican food I have ever eaten in my entire life. The best Mexican restaurant in the United States. Salsa was very flavorful, tasty. Friendly staff, budget friendly meals and amazing food. Their quesadillas are to die for.. very good food. Will come again… a good heart-warming meal cooked to perfection

Good food, good atmosphere, solid service. My favorite brunch spot to cure a hangover with their pozole.

I visited Avila’s Mexican Restaurant and had a great experience. I ordered the pozole and the brisket tacos, and both were absolutely delicious. The pozole was rich, flavorful, and comforting. The kind of dish that tastes like it’s been simmering all day with love. It came with all the right toppings on the side, super fresh. The brisket tacos were tender, juicy, and full of smoky flavor. The tortillas were fresh and the portion was generous. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. If you’re looking for classic Mexican food done right, Avila’s is definitely worth a visit!

Came in on afternoon Sunday for some late lunch. Very good food. We got fish tacos and Avila specials enchiladas. The fish tacos were crispy and fresh. Very delicious, the service was great.

Diamond in the rough! Hands down the best brisket tacos in Dallas. I have ordered many things on their menu and it’s always delicious. Terrific fresh margaritas. It’s my go to when I visit Dallas. I highly recommend this restaurant. Don’t let the outside aesthetic fool you! The food service and ambiance are beautiful

What an awesome little hole in the wall! It is a small space but they make the most of it and their food is fantastic. The servers were friendly and helpful. We tried the chicken fajitas, Avila special enchiladas and the pan fried tacos and it was all super delicious. Their salsa has a good kick to it so be aware if you have a sensitive midwest palate like me.. but I got a side of sour cream and the combo of that with their spicy salsa was perfect.

This is such an amazing Tex Mex spot in Dallas. The pulled pork tacos are packed with flavor, so definitely order those. The fish tacos were also good. I don’t order fajitas that often, but these are the best beef fajitas I’ve tried. They were so crispy and the peppers/veggies were delicious. The sopapilla dessert with honey is also tasty. The interior is warm and cozy. I will definitely return for a second visit.

Best known for their Pozole which I’ve gotten soooo many times before. Tonight I tried something different. The Brisket Poblano Pepper was one of the best meals I’ve had here. Hot sauce is really spicy. Margaritas are not the best I’ve had but are good. Great service and authentic atmosphere. Will always come back.

Ok, I was coming from the airport and wanted good Mexican food, this randomly popped up and man was I happy. Had no idea this place was on DDD-but it absolutely belongs on the hallowed grounds of Guy Fieris show. The salsa and chips were insanely good and the salsa had a perfect heat to it, and the guacamole appetizer was good fresh made chunky guacamole. We got a smattering of fantastic foods: elote shrimp tacos, black refried beans, pasole and beef tamale and a torta thing (it was part of the DDD dish that showcases the highlights of the place), got pork tacos as well. We finished it up with the flan which was *perfection*. I live in AZ where we have great Mexican food but I would absolutely rate this as some of the best I’ve ever had. The beef tamala was my personal favorite as was the elote shrimp tacos. Come here! Totally worth it!

Let me start by saying that I haven't had Mexican food like this in a very long time. Avila's checked all the boxes. Good chips and salsa. Good queso. And a variety of dishes. Anything you might want, they have it on the menu. I had the Gorditas and they were fresh, crunchy, and delicious. I was surprised by how much food we were served. They definitely don't jip you on portions. Even the coca cola was good. Again, food and drink were amazing. Finally, the service was amazing. We were taken care of by two of the waitresses. They were kind and attentive. I never ran out of soda and our food was out quick. They made me feel like family and aside from the food, the service these two ladies gave me and my bf will be one of the main reasons I will come back. Thank you again to the staff at Avila's. You guys know how to do it!

Went with some coworkers for lunch during the week. I ordered the 3 soft taco plate with ground beef which were really good. The refried beans were also really good however i was not too impressed with the rice. The chips and salsa were also fresh and really good. The salsa was extremely hot so be aware!! I would definitely return without hesitation.

Avila's is a cozy restaurant with some authentic Mexican and tex mex dishes. If it's your first time you'll want to pay attention because it's so easy to pass. Parking is located between the restaurant and the auto shop next door. Food was good. I enjoyed the shrimp fajitas and my partner had the chicken gordita which they enjoyed. Salsa that comes with chips tasted great with the perfect amount of heat. Service was okay. Our waitress was attentive and checked in on us multiple times.

Came by for lunch and it wasn’t busy at all. It’s a small restaurant but it’s really cute inside. Ordered the beef gorditas it came with rice and beans. Gordita’s was decent, rice and beans were really good. Also ordered the Triple D - Tamale was greasy and had no flavor. Brisket Gordita- dry and no flavor. Pozole - this was really good. This also came with rice and beans. Service was good.

They are super friendly and attentive. Food was really good with lots of flavor. We really liked their micheladas. I had enchiladas a la mexicana and hubby had chile rellenos with ranchero sauce. Both were delicious. I ordered a side of the ribeye steak but was not impressed with it. It had way too much fat for me and was not as tender as I would of liked. Salsa had lots of flavor and hubby liked the queso. All in all good food but I am still on the hunt for the best enchiladas.

I use to really love this place. The food is actually quite good. I think it's actually better than Ojeda's down the street. However, the service here is nothing to be desired. There are usually two female waitresses here that do the serving. The taller brunette is usually more friendly than the shorter one but she doesn't smile much. That's okay I guess. However, the shorter more heavy set lady with glasses...she can be so rude and has a horrible attitude at times. I have actually avoided this place and went to Ojeda's because I was concerned I'd get her again. The food may not be as good at Ojeda's but the service is excellent/superb. Maybe that's one of the reasons the place is so crowded and packed most of the time.
