"This Oak Lawn Mexican restaurant, purchased in 2020 by Local Favorite hospitality group closed its doors early in the month. It was open for seven years and follows the closure of Tulum, the group’s other upscale Mexican restaurant, in May 2024." - Courtney E. Smith
"This Maple Avenue staple has been slinging Tex-Mex eats for more than two decades and, in that time, has earned a devoted legion of fans. Brisket-stuffed chile rellenos, chicken mole, and combo plates like Anita’s Plate (soft taco, cheese enchilada, beef taco) await." - Courtney E. Smith, Amy McCarthy

"A visit to this Tex-Mex and Mexican restaurant on the West side felt like stepping into an under appreciated gem during a weekend brunch visit. The server recommended a handful of dishes, and the lunch-sized steak fajitas were on the list." - Courtney E. Smith
"We may have found the home of the chimichanga. With a menu that features a mix of old family recipes and local flavors, Avila’s is a must for authentic Tex-Mex. Tacos, tamales, and quesadillas will satisfy any hankerings for Mexican, but if you want to get into the local realness, then go for the chili relleno, chicken mole, and guisado de puerco (pork stewed in a rich pepper sauce) served with rice and beans. Just give in to the queso and order extra chips. This is one hole in the wall you won’t want to miss."
