Decent food! It always hits! Refillable agua frescas when you're dining in-that's a plus! Open condiment bar-grilled onions are my favorite ! This is my new go to taco spot! read more

Wanted some street tacos and decided to get Taco Gavilan. I ordered two tacos and one mulita for $10.10. The price was ok. Not a great value because the tacos are a little small. The mulita was a little pricey when you think it's just a little cheese and an extra corn tortilla included. The tacos were ok. I enjoyed the flavor of the meat and it wasn't overly salted however it didn't taste the freshest. It tastes like it's been in a steamer to keep it warm. I also wish the tortilla were heated a little more. They were soft and couldn't hold the meat. By the time I added my salsa and toppings they were ripping apart when I went to bite them. Te mulita was not good at all. I took one bite and threw it away. The tortillas were cooked enough, the cheese wasn't melted completely. I would not get those again. On a positive note, I love the free beans they give. They were tender and had flavor. A nice thing about this place is they have a full salsa bar with lemon, grilled onions, cilantro and onion, salsas. Nice not to have to ask. My cashier was helpful. She answered my questions about the mulita and took my order correctly. The ambiance is casual. I enjoyed the music playing while I dined it. There's also a lot of seating, including a table for a larger party. Give this place a try. I will go back and try something else. read more

Tacos Gavilan is a solid spot if you're craving classic Mexican street food. The tacos, burritos, and tortas are all packed with delicious, well seasoned meats that are full of flavor and cooked just right. The portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and satisfying. One of the best parts of eating here is the salsa bar. They have a great variety of salsas to choose from, all with different heat levels and flavors, so you can really customize your food. They also have fresh agua frescas that pair perfectly with the meal and are really refreshing. Customer service here is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not particularly friendly or memorable either, more just order, get your food, and go. But overall, the food is what keeps people coming back, and if you're going for the tacos, burritos, and tortas, you probably won't be disappointed. read more

Consistently Mopping the floor and also quick on picking up a messy floor ! read more

My first time here with my family for dinner . 3 burritos supreme 4 chicken tacos 4 asada tacos 1 plate mixture of asada / lengua Where should I begin?! I've wanted to try Tacos Gavilan numerous times passing through this area. Today I brought my family for dinner, I was impressed with the A sign score board from the health department . The dining room was spacious and clean, I like the individual wrap condiments concept. Service at the cashier can use some improvement, the young lady's demeanor was not pleasant nor welcoming. The plate of asada and lengua was not good. The lengua had no flavor , the beans were too salty and the corn tortillas were soaked in grease. I can feel the residual grease on my lips. I didn't eat my food after taking one bite. I packed it home in hoping to add my own ingredients when I got home. My girls liked their supreme burritos, my husband said his chicken tacos were decent. Thank goodness my son is now healthy. A few hours after eating his supreme burritos , he was severely ill . Through out the night he had diarrhea. I believe it was from the pre packaged pickle jalapeño, none of us ate it , reason why I concluded as such. In the restaurant my husband did mentioned the pickled jalapeño had an off putting smell and it's liquid looked slimy . We toss those packets aside and retrieve a new batch from the self serve counter for my son at home to eat with his togo burrito. As you could imagine I felt terrible witnessing my son's food poisoning from the food I purchased for him. ;( .. After finding out my son's food poisoning, I threw out my leftover food. I hope the owners/ managers read this review and make some drastic adjustments to how the condiments are placed. Although it is sitting on a cooling tray, maybe the temperature is not cold enough to keep it from spoiling. Maybe label the individual packs with dates/ timelines to easily discern which is new and old. Also maybe find a new location from the window, the sun rays beaming on the condiments packets creating moisture inside the plastic bags that is sitting on the top layer. read more

Tacos Gavilan - The plate asada / langue - Mexican Near Me - Rialto, California

I really wanted to like this place more. The tacos (see picture) were not as flavorful as they could had been Also they package everything (salsa, onions/cilantro, lemons) this is a great option for if you're doing pick up but not when eating in. Usually places will have an open salsa bar. I want to come back to give it another chance, I went late at night so I'm hoping that why the quality of the tacos and salsa bar were how it was Pros: they are open late read more

My daughter and I came here the other day and we had a wonderful visit. She ordered five tacos, three chicken and two asada. I had two chicken tacos and and asada burrito. All was good as usual for tacos Gavilan. The store was getting a slight remodel but was still pretty clean inside. We had a strawberry Coke drink mix to wash all the food down and before leaving I filled up my cup with horchata. The workers here were very nice. If we're ever in Rialto again, we would definitely stop by. read more

I really enjoy how the taste and service are consistent no matter which Tacos Gavilan location you go to. I wished this one had the drive thru however parking is never an issue. The restaurant itself is large and spacious, there's always someone tidying and cleaning up. We typically like to order the three tacos plate, burritos, or the Mulita. The quesadilla here is bomb as well, and so are the nachos. If I'm taking it to go, I prefer to have the cheese put on the side so my chips don't get soggy. I love that they have prepackaged condiments, like the salsa and the onions and cilantro, as well as the lemons and jalapeños. They even offer a self serve of beans and grilled onions and jalapeño. Again this area is always meticulously kept clean and organized. Even though the salsaare prepackage, they're always cold because they're constantly refilling it from the refrigerator. We particularly enjoy the corn tortillas here, because they tasty and so soft even when you reheat them later on. 100% recommend Taco Gavilon for a quick and fresh tacos and burritos. read more

I had the tacos and I was pretty disappointed. As soon as i walking the food smells so good and everything looks clean. The pre-pack salsa and condiments is a great idea. But your tacos are lacking on flavor and size read more

Have eaten here twice. Both times had food delivered. Food arrived hot and as ordered. I love their mulitas. The packaging of the food is excellent. The drinks come in plastic bags and are generous in size. The onions and cilantro are packaged separately as are the lemon slices. My only complaint is that the salsa is very spicy. Even my DIL, who loves spicy food said it was too much for her as well. All in all a good place to eat. I'm sure we will return. read more

Just recently ate here and the tortillas were cold and it seemed to be that the meat wasn't cooked right, it seemed as if everything was rushed with no flavor or heat I feel since the amount of people that go, this establishment no longer puts any effort into their food read more

Have eaten at many of their locations, and it's always a 5 star experience. The food is quick, the restaurants are clean, the service is friendly, and we always leave satisfied. We've been eating with them since before they had their special salsas were pre-packaged. The food is consistently delicious across all locations, and our bellies are always full!

I wanted to love this place. I did like the lengua tacos. Pretty good flavor. That was the only shining moment. I hated the chicken nachos though. The chicken itself was tough to chew. Unfortunately, I also ordered two chicken sopes. I know how to cook chicken and make it tender myself, but that's just me. I'm not paid to give tips. Don't serve the chicken if you can't cook it correctly. Whoever is cooking the chicken needs to learn how to make it tender. It was like chewing bits of leather and getting tough strings of chicken in between my teeth. I had to use three floss picks to get it from between my teeth. Also, the sope masa was tough to eat. You really can't consider yourself a professional cook if you're screwing up the masa. It was tough and stale. It reminded me of the ready-made sopes from Stater Bros. Get it together or close shop. read more

I ordered two items a burrito de asada with everything and I got a burrito with rice, bean and a meat that look like she ground meat. Also a mulita which it was good. I was dissapointed with my burrito, i had gotten one in another Tacos Gavilan and it was very good. Too bad for your Rialto franchise. read more

Stopped by for lunch today. Place clean and organized. Not too noisy. Ok welcome., Ordered two kinds of quesadillas today. Carnitas and Al pastor. Al pastor was great as usual ( always come here for these foods) but carnitas tasted awful and old. My grand daughter was the one who ordered it and she said she didn't like it. My wife and I took a bite and we understood why. Returned to the counter and told lady about it. She replied with no hesitation and asked if we want a replacement. I requested another Al pastor instead of carnitas and that's what she gave me. Excellent service satisfied with the response and will still give them the thumbs up.(other thumbs up is from my granddaughter she said). Made us feel at home. read more

Food is amazing! Staff is friendly. The price for what you get is a great deal! Our food came out fast and it was delicious!

Used to love eating here but another customer and I found roaches inside of the beans. I thought it might've just been the beans that can pour into cups to eat but we also found roaches inside of the food. The man stopped me from getting the beans and let the staff know but was ignored. Very disappointed and I do not think I'll be coming back. They were not busy for them to neither swap out the beans or check up on the food. read more

I ordered the El Super Burrito with carnitas and no beans. The meat was chopped up into very small flavorless pieces, and burnt to a crisp. The burrito was 80 percent rice. I don't understand how any body eats at this place. Never coming back. read more

It not like they were business it was 12:45 am. So there's no reason for the food to Be this bad.... Never again. read more

WARNING! DON'T EAT HERE!!!! At 12:44 am on Aug 1st, I ordered for delivery and got six tacos de Cabeza and a large horchata. After eating four of the six tacos I notice a thick, dark, short hair (beard-like) on top of my taco. After contacting the food delivery app and digging into the tacos I notice another one, then another, then another, then another, and another! Six different hairs on two of my tacos! One includes a hair follicle attached to it. What the heck! Absolutely disgusting! So how many different hairs did I consume without noticing? I soon felt pain in my abdominal area, felt very nauseous, had an anxiety attack, and had a massive headache after. Overall, this whole experience left me very traumatized, and have not been able to eat since. This "restaurant" is a safety hazard to the public and should be shut down! read more

No bueno. My burrito and flan were flavorless. The only item that was good was my Jamaica. Would never order from this place again!

So anytime we are in Rialto we have to stop here because this is one of his favorite Mexican food restaurants. I'm sure you can tell by the pictures. We all had carne asada tacos which were very good. An abundance of meat. My hubby enjoys the salsa bar which has complimentary pinto beans. Staff was friendly and restaurant some what clean. read more

This was my first time here. I grew up in the area but moved away and only come back every so often. This is a newer place to me since it wasn't here when I was growing up, but everything around it was. Anyways, all this to say I really liked it. The dining room is very spacious and unassuming, clean too. The food was tasty and fresh. I missed food like this. The rest of the country (at least in my opinion) can't compare with California Mexican food. Even something simple and quick like this is miles ahead of numerous states who shall not be named. I left happy and full. read more

I was craving tacos and decided to stop by this place on the way home from work and it didn't disappoint! I ordered the taco plate which included 3 tacos, refried beans, and rice. Everything came out super hot and fresh. I got lengua, carnitas, and asada for my meats for my taco and they were all so soft, even the tortillas were soft and hot! Usually the taco places I have been the asada and carnitas are super dry! I also liked how you can grab your own salsa, onions/cilantro, and lime and they are all packed in a baggy and container. It comes with a lot they are not stingy with the toppings unlike some places! It looks sanitary. Honestly this place reminds me a lot like king tacos except smaller and less packed! read more

Food is amazing. I recommend the sopes and the asada burrito. It's a great price for the quality and quantity of food.

Update: I am currently on active duty AGR (if you're in the military you know what that means.) This restaurant does not offer a military discount, even if you are in uniform. The discount is only available for police officers. The owner claimed that they do offer a military discount, but that's not true. It is what it is. I just wish they would tell the truth instead of lying about it. Note: The food still tastes good, the customer service is good, and they do a good job keeping it clean. I give it 3 1/2 stars because integrity is a big value for me. read more

I first walked in the place is super clean Love that the bathroom doesn't have soiled toilet paper on the floor... The cashier was very friendly Communication in english is exceptionally difficult at this restaurant.. The signs are in english when they call your number for your food in Spanish only There were a lot of orders I didn't know which was mine so my food sat up there for like 15 minutes before they actually called the number in english.. If you like your Chicken torta With skin bones and gristle Almost near broken tooth My jaw is actually sore the next day This is the place to be... I'd rather eat it Alberto's read more

Stop by to get some tacos. Bad choice the meat utilized, and my tacos were clearly burnt.

Tacos Gavilan - Taco meat clearly burnt yet they served it - Mexican Near Me - Rialto, California

Unbeatable salsa bar, complete with pickled jalapeños, grilled jalapeños, salsa roja and verde, onions, and free beans! Seriously the best you can find. I love the carne asada here too. The flavor on their meats is heavy but I think it's delicious especially when you top it with onions and salsa. The mulita is not bad either, some melted cheese inside for ya. The inside is huge with plenty of seating and it's spotless clean. Full drink station with fruit juices too. I like this place a lot. I think it's underrated. The tacos are delicious! read more
