Fun Facts

The Avila family opened their first restaurant in Huntington Park in 1966, and the San Clemente location is one of several across Southern California, maintaining their tradition of authentic Mexican cuisine.

Their 'Mama Avila's Soup' is a customer favorite, featuring a rich chicken broth with fresh avocado, cilantro, and lime, a recipe passed down through generations.

The restaurant uses locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, supporting local farmers and reducing their carbon footprint.

The San Clemente location features vibrant murals and traditional Mexican artwork, creating an authentic and inviting atmosphere.

In appreciation of their service, the restaurant provides a discount to active and retired military members, a gesture that resonates with the nearby Camp Pendleton community.
