Nice little place!
I was visiting my daughter in Dallas and a friend of hers recommended Avila's.
I got the pulled pork tacos and they got the fajita quesadilla. We shared with each other and both were really good. We did both slightly prefer the tacos.
The chips were good. The salsa had a bit of a kick to it, but I'm not someone who eats spicy food a lot.
It's one of those salsas that build up as you keep eating.
But again, I'm somewhat of a light weight.
Very attentive service as well!
I found this restaurant from Tripple Ds and the food was delicious I got chicken fajitas came piping warm and the shells was freshly cooked. The onions were so fresh you could taste the grill making! Our server was super attentive and made sure our drinks kept coming. Just a must check out and see

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!
We were served with chips and salsa, and this was one of my favorite salsas I've tasted so far. Other Tex-Mex restaurants had pretty generic salsa, but Avila's salsa had a very good spicy kick. I ordered the brisket fajitas which tasted okay but forgettable. The beans were not good, but the rice was surprisingly delicious and not dry. Next time, I think I would order an enchilada or tamales.
Food was astronomical. It was by far the best and most authentic tasting Mexican food I have ever had. I had the Dan’s Burritos and I was blown away. As soon as the heavenly burrito touched my tongue, words could not fully describe how immaculate the food was. As you can see from the picture below after I finished eating, there was absolutely zero food left.The service was amazing. Somehow they always knew when it was the right time to ask if you needed a refill. I didn’t feel an ounce of haste when finishing up my food. My family came with a relatively large group, and they wasted no time accommodating the place for us. As for the atmosphere, it felt very welcoming. When I stepped in, I was greeted by pleasant smells of high value Mexican food. I highly recommend coming here if you live in Dallas or are just visiting.
This Mexican restaurant in Dallas is one of the best, if not the best in the country. The food is outstanding, the service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is pleasant. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the fajitas are particularly noteworthy. This place is definitely worth checking out.

My last day in Dallas for my business trip and I wanted to have some Mexican food before I left. It was difficult finding a traditional Mexican food restaurant, so I settled on Tex Mex and was not disappointed in this place. I had the brisket tacos, beans, and rice. It also came with a little pico de gallo and a small amount of guacamole. They also serve chips and salsa with the meal. The chips were fresh, not from my bag and hot. The salsa was really good, maybe slightly hot for some people but perfect for me. The brisket tacos are just meat on a corn tortilla, they also have the option of flour tortillas. The meat was very flavorful, and the tortillas were lightly fried, and very good. The beans had a good texture and a good flavor, which is hard to find in the southern United States, Mexican restaurants in the southern states usually they turn the beans into some weird purée. The rice was good, probably could’ve used a little more cumin, but good overall. The service was excellent. Overall this place is totally legit and if I’m ever in the area again, I will definitely make it a point to stop here and try some more things.
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.

I had the pulled pork tacos. They were loaded with pork and cheese. It came with pico de gallo + guacamole. I was stuffed. 2 was enough, I can't imagine eating 3. The rice and beans a good combination. Salsa is Spicy! Oh yeah!
I will start with the seating. I don't mind cozy restaurants but this was way too close for comfort. It's too many tables and chairs for the space they have. The food on the other hand is absolutely delicious. It was seasoned and the presentation was nice. The waitress staff was very attentive and I didn't have to look for them when I needed anything. I will definitely be eating here again.
