    Lengua súper burrito
    Fernando M.

    The place is large , clean and plenty of seating and parking. I've been here before and to other locations . The food is good. Nothing wow ... this time I ordered a Lengua super burrito. Very little meat. All mostly bean and cheese. It had rice , sour cream and avivado, but all I tasted was the Beans and cheese. My wife and kids had carne asada mulitas. They really liked them ! The service is friendly and fast. I'm sure we will be coming back , but next time I'll make sure to request less Beans on my burrito.

    On the way back from east LA and stopped by for a bathroom break that ended up with us getting some legit tacos. Service was great and friendly. Restaurant had plenty of seating. Decent sized parking lot. We got the cabeza and lingua, which were both pretty good. We liked how there was a self service bar too. Very well priced as well.

    Got to visit after work. Although the Drive through is available, I opted to go inside. The super burrito is humongous. I got the super burrito carnitas and my son got the al pastor. The carnitas was flavorful, together with the beans, rice, sour cream, and avocado, I could only eat half. Service was nice and fast. Place was clean. There were enough parking spaces.

    How they pack your order to go

    One of my favorite taco places because of how everything is not only packaged to go, but also the food is pretty good. Orders are accurate, staff is friendly, and prices are affordable. They give you a lot of meat on your tacos and the salsas compliment the tacos perfectly. Overall, I highly recommend this place and I look forward to my next visit!

    This place is amazing and I am so glad they're open late. Food: 5/5 Their carne asada tacos and nachos are delicious. I love the tenderness of the meat and how well it pairs with cilantro, onion, salsa, and jalapeños. One of my favorite things about Tacos Gavilan is their salsa bar. They offer unlimited beans, chili, grilled onions, and salsa. Their nachos are amazing too, it comes with nacho cheese, choice of meat, guacamole, and sour cream. I personally did not like the lengua but I know that's an acquired taste. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is clean and open late. Perfect for late night munchies. They cook all the food in front of you in an open kitchen concept so you know things are made fresh to order. Service: 5/5 There is tons of seating and there was no line. They ran out of water cups so they gave me a water bottle when I asked for water. That is top tier customer service!

    Vine a comer, aquí agarré un mes, será que se llama Araceli, me tomó la orden yo le di la orden tres veces dos veces en inglés y una vez en español y esos tres veces le pedí salsa verde y midió salsa rojo, cuando agarré mi comida a la ventana, me inventó la comida y entonces cuando agarré mi comida, la paquete de la salsa, estaba abierto ahí adentro de la bolsa También encontré dos pelos adentro de mi comida y ahí adentro de la bolsa este va a ser la última vez que voy a a regresar a este restaurante.!!! Just left this location had a server by the name Araceli R. Very rude on the intercom and at the drive thru window reappeared my order 3 Times twice in English and last in Spanish . I had said I wanted green salsa and gave me red and when I got my food the salsa package was ripped open inside my bag with my food and to top it off I find a hair ! In my food and inside my bag!!! Gross ! Never coming back to this location again and sad they are usually very nice and food is good here.

    Salsa and toppings bar - stuff are wrapped individually

    Mexican fast food type place that serves tacos, burritos and mulitas. I say fast food, because the vibe here feels like that. The service models is kind of the same and I really think that it was a converted In-N-Out. I saw the spot because it was on the way to a hospital. I needed to get to down the street. I was hungry, so this looked like a good place where I can grab a quick bite. When I came in, I went to the counter and was greeted by some friendly folks. Ordering was easy, and I grabbed the table to wait for my food. As with most new Mexican or taco spots I go to, I got my usual, which is a mulita and two tacos. Heck, they even have a super mulita here which included guacamole and sour cream. Their toppings bar consisted of individually wrapped portions of the onions and cilantro, as well as the salsa and lemons. There were also cups for some beans and grilled onions. I think those were free...if they weren't I truly apologize. But it seemed like you were able to grab them because it's located at the bar. I did enjoy that small side of beans. I thought the food was good. And honestly in terms of fast food, I might prefer something like this place over stuff like the major chains the US has. Because I think it was a converted In-N-Out, the parking situation and drive-through situation is very similar.

    4.5! i got delivery! first time getting tacos gavilan and i loved it. much better than king taco, the meats were very good. i ordered taco plates (came with 3 tacos you can customize), nachos, molitas, sope, and horchata. everything was good (except for the sope i didnt really like it) but the rest were amazing-my fav were their molitas i got a supreme asada molita which came with sourcream and guac. the delivery was packaged so well and complete, my new go to for mexican fast food.

    Super clean place all condiments are pre packed keeps everything sanitary and clean tacos band burritos and tortas are flavorful they a great selection of meats everything is cook at a central kitchen and tortillas are heated on a grill . Service is fast

    Asada "torta"

    what happened? a year ago, the food was fresh and the items were hooked up. Now, even the torta looks more like a panini! Where's the rest of the toppings? Where's the meat? Just bread, sour cream and tiny amount of old, dry meat. Prices sure increased thought and got more expensive. They fell off. I will not be returning

    Chicken and Asada taco ok
    Tawny V.

    3.5 I was a bit disappointed with this location, I've been to the L.A one on Central dozens of times and the flavor of the meat was not only consistent but on point. This location in particular, although great customer serivce, it was very clean inside and the beans, yes bomb free beans, condiments packed in great to-go containers! The meat - well it was ok, it could've been better but it was extremely dry, I took it to go and ate in the car, I seriously had to look twice at the building to make sure this was the same Tacos Gavilan in Los Angeles.

    I've driven by this location and always wondered how the food is. We'll I decided to give 'em a try and it was better than I thought. The first time, I had the al pastor and pollo tacos. The green sauce was nice and had just a tiny kick to it, which is enough for me. They have lemons and salsa all prepackaged at the counter for you to help yourself. They also have beans and cups for them - I did not try the beans, it did not look appetizing lol The meat is nicely flavored, but the chicken was slightly dry. I have since gone back several times to try other items - the sope, burritos, and other meats. The Super burrito was a bust - mostly filled with beans and rice and not a lot or meat. Overall, the food is not bad, the service is quick. It conveniently right off the 605 so I can exit, get food and jump back on the freeway. They will be my default taco place for now, until I find another joint.

    Everything is packaged well
    Val G.

    So we have family members that came here a few months after it opened and hated it but we have other family members that love the self serve beans that are on the counter with the other trimmings; like onion, cilantro, lemon and sauces. My wife and I decided to try it for ourselves. And i have to say that for being Taco Tuesday with tacos at $1.69 we were very pleased. I had the buche and cabeza tacos while my wife had the chorizo and carnitas taco. She likes her carnitas a little more crispy and shredded while theirs were cut into small cubes but still not bad. Interestingly, they have a very unique way of covering their plates with a plastic cover that looks like a... well hair net. Makes ordering for orders to go very easy to see and distribute. The sauces: green and red, onion and cilantro were all in packaged bags. Again, easy to take home. I tried their green and it was a little hot for me and the wife but we are not huge spicy salsa eaters. I'll try the red sauce next time. The beans was the reason I wanted to try this place. One of my fav taco places does something similar. These were much thicker but they were still pretty good. This place will definitely get into our Taco Tuesday routine!!!

It's the type of place that I would be stoked finding it, if I was on a road trip driving from California through Texas (and through New Mexico).

I came in for a late lunch so I was the only one in the restaurant so the service was pretty quick. The menu is full of those combination classics that you would see at certain Mexican restaurants. I ended up ordering the three tacos dorados combo. I thought the food was great. Because it wasn't busy at the time parking was easy to find on the street. I parked right out front.
