Our Press

All the latest news, happenings, and press.

Come join us this Friday as we celebrate a Grand Re-Opening of our Lake Forest location under the new ownership of 3rd Generation Avila: Nathalie Avila Ruttkay.

Nathalie’s father, Sal Avila, opened the Lake Forest location in July of 1997. For almost 30 years Nathalie worked side by side with her father from childhood to adulthood, training and learning the family business.

Her passion grew along with her experience through out the years. If you’re wondering who’s decorating and hand painting all the art in the building, it’s Nathalie…as she has always been given the freedom by her father to express her artistic abilities in the family business all these years.

This location will never be boring and it wills always be vibrant and eclectic Mexican vibes thanks to her.

It’s such a wonderful thing to celebrate a 3rd generation officially taking over a family business so please come join us this Friday 11am. There will be free appetizers and drinks for those who come.

We hope to see you there for this new generation and the generations to come! 🤍🤍🤍🤍

We’ve got Party Packs, Family Packs, and liters of margaritas available for your 4th of July celebration! We’re open this Saturday 10am-3pm. Call and place your orders today! 949-8554989

Thank you Mayor Robert Pequeno and @lakeforestbusiness @cityoflakeforestca for making us business of the month! June was the hardest challenge for our little family restaurant with a 10 day closure due to a unforeseen plumbing issue. But with the support of our fellow businesses, the city, and the amazing customers and community we have, we are able to still be here and stand here and receive this award. Thank you everyone who has come out to dine with us and reposted us and prayed for us. We appreciate you more than you know! Thank you Lake Forest! Thank you OC! We love you! 🥹🩷🙏🏻

Sincerely,
Nathalie Avila Ruttkay & the Avila’s Lake Forest staff

Thank you to everyone who has come out to show us support we get back on our feet after a 10 day closure! We love you all so much! We can’t thank you enough! We still have a ways to go but every sale helps us get back on our feet! Stop by for our Taco Tuesdays and FIFA World Cup watch parties! We can’t wait to see you soon!
🩷Nathalie & The Avila’s Lake Forest family
