Avila's El Ranchito

Can you guess who this cutie is? Her first unofficial job at her family’s restaurant, Avila’s El Ranchito, came at age 4, when she handed menus to customers. In high school, she became a hostess. And now she runs the Newport Beach and Corona del Mar restaurants.

NOTE: 's El Ranchito - Newport Beach turns 50 next year!
