    First time here and definitely won't be the last! We were heading home from Silver Lake and craving tacos when we spotted this place on the map and decided to stop by. We used the drive-through, which was quick and easy. I ordered the tacos al pastor with an horchata, and wow--these tacos were tasty! I really liked that they package all the toppings separately, so the tortillas and meat stay fresh and you can add the cilantro and onions yourself. They even included lemon and jalapeños on the side. Honestly, I wish I had ordered more food. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Tacos Gavilan is one of my favorite spots for sopes. Everything they sell is good. Place is usually busy but service fast. This location is very clean and has a lot of seating area. This particular location also has a drive thru.

    Came to the one on Slauson and close to Broadway in LA. Service was okay but food was very tasty. My favorite is tacos de carne asada, burritos and mulitas with fresh guacamole. Food is tasty, and price is decent. Paid about $13 for one tamarind fresh water, 1 taco,and one mulita. Love,love,love their red salsa. Good for a quick stop. Food was ready in less than 5 minutes.

    Asked for super burrito and was over charged
    Phu H.

    I ordered an all meat super burrito, they individually charged me for cheese , sour cream , and guacamole. I was in a rush so I didn't see what the charges were . I thought it would be for extra carne asada . Not sure if I will ever comeback I usually come to this location 2x a week . Going to find a new spot now.

    2 chicken tacos, 2 beef tacos

    Consistent taste and service. I really enjoy eating here for the price and the food. I looove the individual wrapped onion cilantro lemons salsa. The inside reminded me of Breaking Bad Gus Fringe establishment

    I live down the street and come here all the time and they are so rude to anyone who doesn't speak Spanish. If I have a Spanish speaker with me, they are so nice. When it's just me, rude smh and I waited to make sure before I even made this comment but it's for sure. you're in America, so you should not be mad at me for speaking English smh

    Nothing extraordinary but good. They give all the condiments on the side; there was more than enough. Good spot for late night burrito fix.

    Sope and super nachos before we ate it

    I remember this place being good, but for some reason it went down hill. I ordered 2 sopes, 1 ultimate burrito, a super nacho, and 1 Tongue taco. The sope where hard and it had no flavor. The burrito, all the meat was at the bottom so for the whole burrito you only ate rice. The nachos, it just looked sad with a strip of avocado. (Photo provided) service was ok nothing g special, restaurant was clean. It was just the food that wasn't worth it.

    Chicken to go packaging

    Corona, Jackson Heights, and Roosevelt moved into a legit store front. The quality and service is good all around the clocks. The flavor will kick you in the N@#$!!!

    Interesting way to wrap it!

    My new go-to for quesadillas!! I FINALLY gave this place a try after passing by this place at least once weekly for years now. The super chicken quesadilla is soooooo good!!! The chicken is so tender, not burnt, and the flavor is amazing!! Not too salty and the portion is very decent for $10! The service was also super fast! 2-3 mins tops around 3pm on a Sunday. There was only one car in front of me in the drive thru. The only thing is I wish they used paper plates I instead of plastic. They gave me a lot of napkins and sauces. Love that there's also chopped up onion packets! The staff was also super friendly when I asked for recs. Will definitely be coming back!

    Just order from this place, and I am in shock!!!! Unbelievable they are charging for the meat to get cooked a little more well!!! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS!!! Last time I came I felt like my chorizo was not cooked well so I figured this time I would asked if they could cook it a little longer. The girl tells me it is going to be extra!!!! EXTRA WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!! I ask why and the reason is because it takes longer to cook!!!! THIS IS ABSURD!!!! Doesn't not make any sense!!!! Also how in the world am I suppose to see what I got charge and if it's correct! I really hope management reads this and resolves these issues Which I am sure it is going to cause problems

    Small sope for $5!? No lettuce n little meat. Not worth it. Won't be going back. Too small of a scope too

    I decided to stop by at this location for the lunch specials that I saw on Yelp. Where I had parked…read morelead me to the back entrance where you immediately see the bar. I made my way to the front from there. It wasn't too busy at around 12pm. Staff let me sit at the nearby booth. Chips and salsa was complimentary for the first round. I decided on the Lunch Special with the Tacos Dorados with beef. The price I believe ended up being $12.99 for the lunch specials. The food was ready pretty quickly. It was a lot of food for lunch so definitively worth a try. The plate was satisfying and beef was tender in the dorados. I enjoyed the rice and beans as well and left there happy. Overall, it a spacious location with solid options. A decent spot to also watch a game with the TVs around the place. I wouldn't mind dropping by again. ( ^_^)b

    First time we've been here. Now we can't can't wait to come back…read more Excellent service and food. Our server greeted us with enthusiasm and a big smile. The chips and salsa were both fantastic. We both ordered the mixed fajitas- we could have spit one order and been full. I'm glad we didn't, because now we have a complete dinner of leftovers! The fajitas were brought to the table steaming. A great mix of green & red bell peppers, red onions, spices, beef ( not sure of the cut), chicken breast, and shrimp. The beef pieces were a little thin and dry, but in the mix with everything else, it really wasn't a big drawback. The fresh tortillas were perfect, as were the beans. We were checked on throughout our dinner, which was appreciated. My wife ordered the pomegranate margarita, which she really enjoyed. We have a new favorite Mexican restaurant, and can't wait to return.

I enjoyed my meal. Also, had lunch for the next day. Service was amazing, it was a busy night and they had plenty of servers. Drinks were never left empty and all employees were very content on helping all of us. In the way of ambience, this place has lots of seating indoors and a few tables outdoors. Be prepared for a little bit of a wait, depending on the time of day but well worth it. While we were there, they had several birthdays celebrated. With a little song and a little dessert.

    We heard a lady order Grilled fish tacos, not fried and the waiter repeated it twice GRILLED Fish…read moreTacos NOT FRIED? Lady said yes, grilled not fried. Her fish tacos came Fried when she asked for grilled he said he never heard that, you had to if you repeated her order twice. Then the manager came over was rude and made weird facial expressions and he asked her to pay for a second plate to have her order made right are you kidding me? Her order was made wrong. Why should she have to pay for a second plate to be re-fired because the first plate should've been correct.! I will never come here again because the lack of common courtesy and respect was not given to this lady by your server and the manager shame on you..! You need to wake-up and take care of your customers, and serve the food as ordered. Shame on you. I will NOT return.!
