    Salsa

    Great tasting tacos, salsa, mulitas, sopes etc. I love dining in because it's basically all you can eat beans at the hot plate. Being Latina, this food feels like I'm at a family members home. Plenty of parking and drive thru avail.

    3/31/26 Tacos Gavilan, Norwalk, CA...I ordered 6 chicken tacos & 4 asada tacos and a large horchata to-go. My daughter and I split the tacos and the horchata when we both arrived at home. Taco Tuesday, they are a little bit cheaper! For fun...buy any amount of tacos to-go and you get a free shower cap per plate order. lol I love the way they cover the tacos for the trip home!!! Come get some great tacos! The workers were nice and the place was clean. Fast service!!!

    Asada Super Burrito
    James A.

    I've tried Tacos Gavilan twice now, and it's the same result. It's just... barely average. It's not bad, and it's certainly not overly good. With all the phenomenal mom & pop Mexican restaurants, this is place simply does not "rate". For chain restaurants, I'd put it somewhere closer to Del Taco on the low end, versus Chipotle on the high end. I've had the pollo and the asada super burritos. Both were just "okay"... at best! And considering there's a Chipotle nearby, why bother? Super clean facilities, very friendly staff, and prices are okay. Go here? Meh...

    Huh? 10 bucks? All rice.

    I was hoping I'd get a refund or at least a coupon for a different burrito.. but, seeing that they don't even respond or care about bad reviews, I'm not expecting anything. We come here twice a week for my family and spend about 40 bucks each time. It's always been fine. I don't know WTF happened but the burritos went from big and filling, to smaller than a 2 dollar del taco bean and cheese. There's nowhere to complain and obviously they don't care because I don't see one response on any bad reviews. . 80 bucks a week is about to be gone for them if there's no accountability for these tiny "burritos"

    Everything I have said before is true They have great hours, customer service, good prices, good quality of food, they take care of lots of details and all their employees are polite The location is always clean and well lit, same as the parking lot There is only 1-thing I want to bring to observation regarding customers that use the drive-thru: I spend a minimum of $16.00-$20.00 dollars every time I visit and I buy their drinks but I always ask for a cup of water, unfortunately they only have cups with no lids We can't use the same cups with no lids (see pic) as the customers that are inside the restaurant. We are driving and this has been going on for years Kindly, do something about this I believe drive-thru customers deserve a little better and safer

    Weak carne asada...

    That chewy carne asada meat is bunk... The aguas are coo, and the champorado is alright. The sopes would be good if it weren't for that cheap carne asada meat they whip out.

    I ordered an asada burrito and an al pastor mulita, it was good but the burrito had way too much bean in it. I forgot to ask without beans but I wasn't expecting a load of beans. Food was good and I like the concept of how they wrap their plates in a special wrap and that their toppings are in packages when you order to go.

    This is our go to spot! Late night cravings, it's open & authentic enough to get the job done. Also, the serving sizes are enough for my growing boy (rare). The star of the show actually is the DRINKS, we love their horchata & champurrado!

    Super Mulita Asada Taco Pastor

    I have been to several locations. This one is very clean and spacious. I ordered the asada super mulita. Had a good amount of asada, cheesy and a lot of sour cream. There was a little bit of guacamole. However it was delicious and made to order. I ordered the pastor tacos. The pastor had a good flavor. I added the grilled onions and salsa which gave it more flavor. The staff were attentive and the food was good.

    I first had Tacos Gavilan years ago and remembering that I did not like it and it was forgettable. Today on the way home, my hunger decided to give it another try and I was highly impressed and satisfied. I ordered an Asada Burrito and Chorizo Tacos. The food was served piping hot and fresh. The chorizo tacos were very good! The chorizo was tasty,would have preferred a crispier texture but the flavor was there! The asada burrito was exceptional but you do need salsa to overcome the dense interior of beans, rice and asada. The price was affordable and a highlight of this review. Muchas gracias Gavilan!

    Stopped by Tacos Gavilan and went with the al pastor burrito. Solid choice if you're in the mood for something filling and flavorful. The meat was well seasoned and the portion size was generous, wrapped tightly and didn't fall apart which I appreciate. What stood out most was how organized everything is. All the salsas, pickled veggies, and lemons are neatly arranged and easy to grab. It's a small touch but makes a difference when you're taking your food to go or eating quickly. The salsa verde had a good kick without overpowering the rest of the flavors. Service was quick and efficient. I was in and out in just a few minutes even with a decent line forming. There's not much to say about the ambience since it's more of a casual, order-at-the-counter setup, but the space is clean and well-kept. Overall, a good stop for a fast and satisfying meal. Would come back when I'm in the area and craving something quick with bold flavors.

    3 asada taco combo ($9.09) with a large Horchata ($3.79) total $14.23

    Best tacos ever! Quality and price of food is 10/10. Staff is super friendly and maintain cleanliness of the entire restaurant. Drink station, seating area, trash area and condiment station are always clean. Music inside was at a perfect volume, most places always make it feel / sound like a club. This establishment has a very fun and inviting environment for all ages and especially for families to enjoy their meals together. I was brought up going to the one off of Santa Fe and Florence, so I'm happy this is closer to me. Hope they open one or a few in Orange County!

    Clean and spacious

    Food is always sloppy and incorrect. I said sopes with no sour cream and of course they put sour cream. The food is all messy as well.

    Been some years since I have been here still a cozy place music flowing and a big screen to watch…read morethe games. Mostly tables of 4 persons. But future is coming for this place a place across from Mi Burrito is a former Filipino restaurant they have acquired it and by autumn to winter Mi Burrito will be in a larger facility and some up coming perks that would customers would love from want I am told. My wife got cocito sopa it look great enough beef and vegetables and cabbage and potatoes. Onions and limes on the side she is on heaven she is dealing with bronchitis and this help so much I got the wet burrito with green chili pork, first time having this. Very very good with beans and rice mixed in. Sauce mixed red and green and guac no sour cream. Good burrito definitely. Very clean establishment and customer service is on point. Welcoming and experienced thank you David for you customer service nice to see in wait staff. I will return and also going to tray there Whitter location as well. Looking forward to seeing the new establishment

    Great burritos, their salsa tastes amazing, and huge portions…read more I got a wet veggie burrito, half and half sauce, and it was a treat. It came with 4 tostada shells and salsa verde. Food was good, the burrito sauces were tasty and flavored well. I could easily share this portion size with another person. The hostess handling patrons and customers was super sweet to work with and order from. She did an amazing job handling customers that came into the restaurant. The restaurant itself was quite packed, get there early to secure a seat or (see if you can) call ahead of time. The price for the burrito was more expensive than typical places which is why I'd rate it 4/5 stars, otherwise 5 star food!

Took a little bit to make - but after bringing them home, thought all were very good except the carnitas (was a little dry). Would def come back for the other meats - especially with the taco Tuesday special!

    First time here. Bought 2 orders of quesotacos, 1x carne asada 1x al pastor, I was told they come…read morewith 3 each order. After purchase I looked at receipt and saw it had 2x of each carne asada and al pastor quesotacos, I figured that's fine to have extras. I Also got 10x al pastor tacos, 10x carne asada, 6x carnitas with all the garnishes, onions and cilantro. Took it to go to a soccer game. There were 2 boxes of quesotacos.. and only 2 tacos in each box. So now I'm confused wondering why the cashier said each order came with 3 and I'm still confused whether they skimped me on 8 quesotacos or I got the 4 that was on the receipt because the menu does not say how many it comes with. The quesotacos were good, came with red onions and peppers pineapples and sauce on the side in the box. Took the rest of the 26x tacos home to my parents and I wish they had onion and cilantro at their bar because the tacos hardly had any at all. Usually the cilantro and onions will fall off and you can put it back in the taco but that definitely wasn't even the case. Some of the tacos didn't even have any onions or cilantro, they totally missed. The carnitas was not good, there was this white hard chewy thing in them I don't know what it was. The Al pastor and carne asada were good. The amount of meat in the tacos was below average. I've been to other places that give a lot of meat. Which was surprising because the quesotacos had a lot of meat, the regular tacos did not. Anyway, I think I got the short end of the stick here.
