Looking for a family-friendly restaurant in Newport Beach where parents can enjoy a great meal and kids feel welcome too? At Avila’s El Ranchito Newport Beach, we created a dining experience designed for the whole family, including our new Kid Zone, a fun beachy space where little ones can play while parents relax, eat, and enjoy a little uninterrupted conversation.

As parents ourselves, we know how hard it can be to find a restaurant in the Newport-Mesa area where you can enjoy fresh Mexican food, cold drinks, and a comfortable atmosphere without worrying that your kids are disturbing the table next to you. We searched for that kind of place, and when we could not find exactly what we were looking for, we decided to create it ourselves.

Welcome to the Kid Zone at Avila’s Newport

The Kid Zone at Avila’s Newport was created to give families a more relaxed way to dine out. It is a colorful, beach-inspired play area where kids can have fun in a safe, welcoming space while parents kick back and enjoy the Avila’s experience.

Whether you are stopping in after a beach day, meeting friends for lunch, enjoying dinner with the family, or looking for a kid-friendly Mexican restaurant near the Newport Peninsula, Avila’s Newport is built to make dining out with kids easier and more enjoyable.

Our Kid Zone gives little groms a place to play, explore, and stay entertained while parents enjoy great food, margaritas, cold drinks, and the family-friendly atmosphere Avila’s has been known for since 1975 in Newport Beach.

A Newport Beach Restaurant Where Kids Are Welcome

At Avila’s El Ranchito Newport Beach, family has always been at the heart of what we do. Our restaurant is family owned, family operated, and family loved, serving the Newport Beach community with traditional Avila family recipes, fresh Mexican dishes, and a warm coastal atmosphere.

Now, with the addition of our Kid Zone, we are making it even easier for families to enjoy a meal together.

Parents can relax knowing their kids have a place to play, and kids can enjoy a restaurant experience that feels fun, welcoming, and made with them in mind.
