About

Avila's El Ranchito might seem like just another beachside Mexican spot, but it's a go-to for Laguna's gay crowd thanks to its location near Main Beach and the popular gay beach. The outdoor patio serves heaping plates of Mexican fare at budget-friendly prices, perfect for refueling after a day in the sun. Grab an afternoon marg and watch the boardwalk buzz.

The vibe is mixed gay-straight and good for groups, making it an easy spot to meet friends after the beach. Open daily from 11am to 8pm, it's a solid bet for a casual late lunch or early dinner. If you're up for a walk after, Zinc Cafe & Market is a few blocks away for coffee or pastries.
