    Cleanliness Torta Pastor Torta Carnitas Medium Horchata

    The food was delicious The cashier so polite and professional There is a girl name, Mari daddy, the beginning, she didn't call us for our coffee When I got the coffee, the coffee was a really cold and I went ask her for a cuppa a cup of hot water, and she didn't give it to us She could've given us another cup of coffee, simple glasses, and on top of that she asked me to take care of the trash while she was not doing her job The service was horrible, but the rest cleaning Ness R. and the other guys professional. Thank you. The ambience of the restaurant excellent.

    Just foul.

    Just complete trash. Will be taking my business elsewhere. I cannot begin to describe how rude and incompetent these people are. I'm literally disgusted

    El pastor, buche and chorizo. $1.69/ea.

    Someone said their Buche is great here so I tried and it didn't disappoint. I had it with tacos but you can't go wrong eating in a burrito or quesadilla or however you want. It's most likely one if the cleanest Mexican joints I've been to and it shows in their service and displays. Staff does not speak English but the menu is in English/Spanish. There's lots of authentic dishes too like menudo which I'll try if I'm back in the area.

    I ordered a super burrito to go and when I got my order I saw it was to small and I ask the employee if it was the super burrito and he replied "Yes its" it's not first time they mess my order.

    Look for the yellow chicken holding a taco with human hands and arms that are on fire and trying to smile while feeling the burn

    Seems like a corporate Mexican restaurant with pretty good Mexican authenticity. The lady at the cash register was totally sweet. I ordered a Carne Asada Burrito (no I was not feeling adventurous) and a fountain drink. I love how they had pineapple, fruit punch, horchata, and all these other drinks. I got pineapple, cause I love pineapple juice. the pineapple juice was ok, not THAT great. The burrito was really good. I like how they had a salsa bar where you can load up as much salsa as you want. One thing I didnt like was the avocado. It comes in a little container, but I thought it was a little tasteless. I wouldnt buy the avocado again. Overall, its a good, legit place to get fairly authentic Mexican food.

    Front!

    Late night hunger strike you? Well...if you're in the mood for cheap, late night, yummy tacos, you're in luck. Tacos El Gavilan can fulfill your wildest taco dreams. Yes...go for their quick and easy tacos (everything you need in a Mexican style taco: asada, al pastor, carnitas, cabeza, all kinds of meats). They have burritos as well as quesadillas. Don't forget to grab an agua fresca (sp?) to wash down your tacos. Refills are $.50 for medium and $1.00 for a large.I ain't cheap, just don't care for the hassle of having to see the cashier again and giving him your change for a refill. Just make it free! All the tacos are delicious (the meats are tender and moist), the free turnip, salsas, etc. are good as well. Everything is equally cheap. You can get yourself a big meal of tacos if need be! Plenty of seating and credit card okay!

    Trying to price out 135 tacos and for the condiments will large containers be available? It's for the end of a youth film class program in the neighborhood. I've just haven't been able to get ahold of anyone by phone.

    Yes. You can order in advance or pack your own when u pick up your order.

    What's the best way to go about ordering a large order of 100+ tacos with all the fixins?

    We can complete your order at your time of visit. It won't take too long to make 100 tacos.

    Do you have a restaurant woven into your family's history to the point that it feels more like a…read morememory you can step back into rather than just a place to eat? For us, that's El Ranchito in Huntington Park. It's a family-owned, authentic Mexican restaurant that has had the community on its back for the last 6 decades. They hand-make the tortillas right in front of you, serve up fresh chunky guac, and make their iconic Mama Avila's soup fresh daily. It's rare that a soup has me hitting a stank face, but here we are. The Camarones al mojo de ajo is a can't miss appetizer. It's succulent shrimp sauteed in butter and fresh garlic, made to be eaten with the piping hot homemade tortillas. They have all the traditional Mexican dishes, my brothers go to is the chile relleno, but I always just run the fajitas. I'm sure I'll get clowned for this, but nothing heals my trauma and existential dread like a plate of sizzling fajitas. My pops has worked in the area for longer than I've been alive, so El Ranchito has seen every iteration of me, and of my family. For that, I am grateful. I'll be coming here until the wheels fall off. EL RANCHITO ALL STARS!!! IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

We walked in and it was a few minutes to get recognized by the hostess. Not a big deal but that bled over into the waitstaff. We were sat and ignored for quite a bit. We waited and we got chips and salsa and someone came for drink orders. The salsa was some of the best I've had. Drinks came back pretty fast but they were average. Something was off about them. We ordered the food and we got it fast! I was surprised how quick it came! It was good Mexican food. Not great but good. All in all, it was a good place for a sit down dinner with drinks.

He just needed to lick the plate lol I had a chile relleno with white rice and pinto beans. I'm glad they didn't add cheese to my beans like other places. I hate it when they put jack cheese So just with that I give them a star. I had a cántarito and it was nice refreshing, not heavy on alcohol nor sour. They have great music playing and art thru out the restaurant. They also have a patio in the back for bigger parties. It's a cute open patio. Thank you Ashley for such great service, attentiveness professionalism. The owners were very sweet, polite and attentive. Great and humbled owners. One of them who is the chef also came out to take a picture with us while the other owner shared a story with us of one of his paintings. Great Mexican gem.
