If you're looking for a cozy, no-frills spot that delivers consistently delicious food, this unassuming restaurant is a hidden gem. The experience begins as soon as you walk in, greeted by complimentary chips and salsa -- but beware, the salsa sometimes packs quite the spicy punch!The standout dish for me is the Avila Special, featuring three enchiladas bursting with incredible flavor. My partner usually opts for either the quesadillas or the fajitas, and every single dish has been a hit. For an added treat, ask for a seat by the music player to soak in the authentic atmosphere.The service is warm and personal; we've been coming here often enough that the server knows us by our usual table. It's a small detail that makes every visit even more enjoyable. To top it all off, the flan is the perfect sweet finish to a fantastic meal.Highly recommended for anyone craving great food and a welcoming vibe!

We were recently in the Dallas medical district for doctor appts and decided on this little restaurant. When we drove up I thought surely not! It looked so tiny and was kinda hard to find. Their little parking lot was full but there was another open parking lot of a business that was closed for the evening so we just parked there. Yes, it was pretty small when we got inside. We were greeted at the door and taken to our table where the hot sauce and chips were promptly put in front of us. Let me just tell you .... Idk if you don't like a whole lot of cilantro in your food, but I am usually the one eating around it and I did not have to do that at all. The salsa was spicy, but not too spicy and had great flavor. I got the brisket tacos. I was a little disappointed. The meat had a wonderful flavor and it was almost like a stew like consistence not your standard smoked brisket which was good, but it literally had no cheese or even lettuce or guac or sour cream. It was just meat. I got my pico on the side because again sometimes there can be too much cilantro, The beans and rice were also very good. My spouse got the steak fajita enchiladas with an extra crispy taco. I have never had the enchiladas have the sauted bell pepper and onion inside the enchilada with a cheese sauce on top, but let me tell you I will definitely be going back for it. Cost of meals were average around 12-16$ and drinks were 10$ each. You should definitely give it a try.

Truly a hole in the wall. The door to get in made me feel as though I was going to walk into a home. The smell was incredible. Service was fast. The tortilla soup is definitely nothing to write about but the fajitas were great.

Went here for dinner and love this hole in the wall Mexican spot. The servers were really nice, constantly kept the tortilla chips and salsa flowing, refilled water, and checked up on us. The salsa has a unique flavor profile, with a kick of spice to it but nothing one can't handle. Recommend the Avila special, which comes with two chicken enchiladas and one cheese enchilada.

Ordered Avila's because I was in a serious mood for a chimichanga. Hadn't had one in a while. Found them on Yelp and decided to try. I ordered the chimichanga with fajita beef and my husband had 2 ground beef and 1 brisket enchilada. I ordered the enchiladas with ranchero sauce. They were sent with queso. The chimichanga was zero stars. I hate to say it, but it was the worst one I've ever had. It wasn't fried and it wasn't fully cooked through. The little fajita beef there tasted old, there were ridiculously thick chunks of cheese, and the tortilla was weirdly doughy and undercooked. It was really bad. I didn't even eat 1/4 of the chimichanga so my husband was kind enough to share his enchiladas. They were surprisingly good. The rice, beans, and salsa were also very good. This got the 3 stars. Such a huge difference from the chimichanga.On the fence on if I'll try them again. That chimichanga left a bad taste, literally and figuratively.

Stopped in for a late lunch and didn't disappoint. Brisket two ways--taco and enchilada. The brisket with queso was amazing. Shared a flan which has the best CarmelSauce.

In from out of town, we had a great Tex-Mex meal at this cozy spot. Food was great, cocktail was decent, service could've been a tad bit more friendly, but overall a great meal.
