Outstanding Tacos and Unlimited Fresh Aguas at Tacos Gavilan If you're craving top‑notch tacos or burritos, Tacos Gavilan is worth the splurge. The menu leans toward the pricier side, but the flavors and quality make it feel like a true bargain. Their Molitas--tender shredded meat piled on warm tortillas and topped with creamy avocado and tangy sour cream--are a must‑try. One heads‑up: the Sope wasn't quite as crispy or cooked through as I'd hoped, so I'd skip it and stick with the tacos. But honestly, you really can't go wrong with any of their taco fillings--the meat is seasoned perfectly and each bite is savory and satisfying. The cherry on top? Unlimited fresh aguas--limón (sometimes called "china"), jamaica, and tamarindo--poured straight from the dispenser. They're bright, refreshing, and the perfect complement to your meal. Whether you're a taco purist or just looking for a fun lunch spot that goes above and beyond, Tacos Gavilan delivers on taste, value, and atmosphere.

My boyfriend introduced me to this place as we were visiting his hometown in California. Now every time we are in town this is our very first and last stop. We live in Vegas and sometimes we drive to Cali to specifically go to this location so I could satisfy my carne asada torta craving. The service here is always spot on, everybody is always so kind and welcoming and the restaurant itself is always very clean which we can appreciate! The staff moved very fast and is always so helpful! The food here is always tasty! This was one of mg boyfriends childhood spots so it's really nice that we get to come here and is now our go to spot!

Carne Asada Taco Plate
Ron W.

First time trying this place and I would order again. Food was very tasty especially with a mix of the red and green sauces. Food arrived earlier than expected and the prices were reasonable. Only negative was there should have been more packets of sauce based on our order size.

Food Service Ambiance Phenomenal!! Everything was a 10/10 The beans were delicious I added the onions and cilantro

Mulitas and sides
Joe T.

I was in South Central LA working decided to this spot it look good. The lady suggested Mulitas I requested Al Pastor and Buchiea I ordered my food to eat there with horchata. The sides are free pintos beans and veggies omg it was delicious . They more look like quesadillas but different name the meat the cheese was so tasty totally price $12.89 and place was popping all nationalities were grubbing. Definitely will try again if I see one near San Gabriel valley area. Plenty of seating with TV's and everyone looks happy eating here.

Actually needed a bathroom. Large fast food place. I'm ok eating in return for bathroom access. I tried the bathroom it was locked with a key pad. I went to the counter told the girl I needed the bathroom code and would buy a coke in return and come back for food. I paid 3.71 for a coke, I asked for the code, she said you don't need one, I told her it was Locked and she said I didn't need one. I went and tried again, locked !! The girl was no longer at the counter. If they don't Allow bathroom use how does the Health dept allow it I did not fill my coke cup I left and will never buy anything from this chain

Sope Pastor
Myles P.

It's been awhile since I've had this place but I had time for lunch and I had their super nachos & a Sope. The food was great and the topping bar was nice & convenient since everything was packaged. The service was quick and easy. Also they really kept the place clean.

Despite the mixed reviews, fortunately our drive thru and ubereats experiences with Tacos Gavilan have been pleasant. My daughter loves their asada tacos and quesadillas and I like their asada plato. We didn't like the flan that much. Pricing is reasonable too.

I ordered from Tacos Gavilian the deal on UBER eats- spend 40.00 they will deduct 20.00 from the order. The nachos had carne asada on top - I give it a 3/5 there was an adequate amount of carne asada not much melted cheese and the chips appeared store bought not authentic tortilla chips. I ordered a mulita which was very tasty. Oh I forgot I ordered two carne asada burritos one I shared with a coworker and I kept the other for tomorrow's lunch!!There is an option for additional cilantro, onions, beans, green/red salsa. I also ordered a Jamaica and I guess they no longer offer cups because it came in a carry out container,it's cute but I wanted a cup. There should be an option. Tacos Gavilan is still a good place if you want to find some good Mexican Food!!!

The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

Located between Koreatown and Pico-Union, this restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience from the moment you're seated. My wife and I both ordered the Mole Coloradito with chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. One detail we really appreciated was being able to choose between white meat or dark meat--a thoughtful touch that lets you customize your meal to your preference. The mole was rich, complex, and full of flavor, exactly what you would hope for from a restaurant known for its Oaxacan specialties. As a welcome appetizer, they bring fresh chips and salsa to the table, but what really impressed us was when they replaced the salsa with their incredible mole sauce. It was so good we found ourselves dipping everything into it. Both meals were served with rice that was perfectly cooked with a great consistency and flavor. For those feeling adventurous, give the Chapulines (grasshoppers) a try. They may sound intimidating, but they were surprisingly enjoyable and added to the authentic experience. The staff was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and patient with those of us who are not fluent in Spanish. Their hospitality made us feel comfortable and welcomed throughout our visit. Great food, authentic flavors, and wonderful service make Guelaguetza a restaurant we'll definitely be returning to. Highly recommended!

As soon as you walk up the stairwell you'll be transported into this super cute place with an outdoor-indoor feel, almost like an elegant treehouse. We were seated on the second level which provided a Birds Eye view of the restaurant. We ordered a few items to share: Cameron ceviche, flautas and for our sweet tooth, French toast paired with a mango sorbet surprise with a candle for our birthdays (tip: we drizzled the melted sorbet on our French toast and took small scoops with each bite - game changer!). Everything was so delicious! We also ordered mocktails, a miche-nada for him and a lemony drink for me. This experience wouldn't have been as great without the exceptional service we had. Our waters were always refilled without asking, our tables were cleaned with every dish, honestly top-notch service! Parking can be a bit challenging but drive around a few blocks and you'll find a few spaces. Worth the walk after an incredible meal. Happy eating!

While it is definitely on the pricier side, the flavors are extremely unique and delicious, making it worth the splurge for a special night out. My only real bummer was discovering they took the vegan ceviche off the menu--that was actually the whole reason I came back! I'm sure they have their reasons, but I was pretty disheartened to see it go. Overall, the menu doesn't have a ton of vegan items, but they do have some room for adjustments if you ask. Despite the menu change, the incredible atmosphere and unique menu still make it a must-try.

The building is an original piece of the City's history, boasting a menu that features their famous burritos that vary in size from a regular to a huge party size beast that can feed several. I tried the Hollenbeck and the Okie burritos on two separate occasions via pick up, as aforementioned, the service was quick, convenient and the pick up window is seamless, parking is located next to the structure and I haven't had problems getting there. Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
