These are probably fighting words, but I prefer this place over King Taco! The Cabeza tacos are the chefs kiss. My husband ordered a quesadilla which was decent sized and filled. I especially love the side bar where you can fill up on everything to your hearts desire and free refills of agua fresca and horchata! Prices are decent and this place is super clean. Service here is also quick and friendly. Good stuff! read more

One of our usual stops to satisfy our late-night munchie cravings. Service is always fast and friendly, the food is good, and the dining area is clean and well lit. Drive thru available for convenience, but we like to dine inside. There's a fixins bar with cilantro, onion, pickled carrots/jalapenos, pinto beans, and salsas. It's nothing fancy, but it does the job of filling you up with good food at reasonable prices. read more

I ordered a super burrito and when I got home, it was as if they dunked my burrito in oil and then bagged it up. Fingers were soaked in oil and my appetite was gone completely I called the manager and he told me he would remake the burrito and assured me it wouldn't happen again... guess what... IT HAPPENED AGAIN. The second one was also rolled in a puddle of oil before it was served to me. Absolutely DISGUSTING. there wasn't even a rush so I don't know how this kind of "quality" would be overlooked a SECOND TIME. Place has gone downhill. Don't waste your money or time coming. Heartburn and a greasy mess waiting to happen. read more

Feels and tastes like the McDonald's of taquerias. Okay meal, but average at best. Tacos were small-ish, flavor/seasoning was nothing special, beans and were tasty. Loved the self serve grilled onions. Overall, great staff and friendly service, food just average. read more

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! read more

I've passed Tacos Gavilan for YEARS off the 10 freeway and we've never stopped by. Yesterday, my daughter and I wanted Tacos so we figured this was a good option off the freeway. We ordered off the website, which we found to be EXTREMELY easy and efficient. The pickup time is shown and it doesn't vary much from what they give you - not like freakin' King Taco. That alone made me happy! I walked in to pick up our food and it was packed to perfection! Literally. The young man packing the order gave me all the salsa, onions + cilantro, and limón I needed. Condiments are packaged individually in their own package and I appreciate the convenience, because I don't have to worry about the little cups opening and spilling in the bag, The tacos are packaged neatly in sturdy plates not wrapped in foil and covered with a plastic cover. The tacos are average size with mild meat portions, it's not the best and it's not the worse. I personally love the small tortillas, but that is up to interpretation based on preference. The drinks are packaged in little travel to go pouches, not cups which I also love. It reminds me of Mexico and the times I was given a drink in a "bolsa" - iykyk. Lastly, I found out they have drive-thru which I've never known. I've always passed it by because I didn't want to get off, but this drive-thru lane is a game changer. I will definitely be coming back again when we are in the area. I will stop here any day over waiting 40-60 mins for tacos/burritos elsewhere. Gosh! I almost forgot. The grilled onions and beans de olla that they offer are the cherry on top. We loved them. We have no pictures because we ate in our car. I do have a picture of my drink though. read more

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. read more

I always order tacos and burritos from TG West Covina via Doordash. Food is always properly packed and handled. Plates are individually wrapped and the plastic bags sealed so the food handling is pretty safe. Portions are generous and food is freshly prepared. read more

Best fast food taco spot to get the most bang for your buck! They're running a taco tuesday deal where it's only $1.89 for a taco and that includes the lengua and cabeza meats. My favorites here are the cabeza and the carne asada. The cabeza was super tender and the asada was super flavorful with each bite. All their salsas, cilantro, onions, and lemons are pre-packaged so it was super easy to collect for my to-go order and the each salsa was delicious, packing just the right amount of heat. The restaurant is super spacious and relatively clean for their busiest day of the week. The workers are pretty friendly and are working hard so that you get your food fast. Don't let the fact that it's a fast food spot discourage you. Their food is definitely worth it! read more

Love their tacos and burritos! Super tasty! Love their Cabeza and lengua tacos especially!!

Sad day. lol I ordered Al pastor tacos and they gave me all asada. Still good tacos though.

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

My daughter and Yelp friend AdtianaO, I were in the area and we decided to stop by and check out Tacos Gavilan, for late tacos before heading back to HB. Tacos Gavilan is located off Azusa Ave, in the city of West Covina right off the E 10 Freeway. Aka SGV I ordered the the sope - the corn base was light and fried to perfection. It was topped with a layer of fried beans, chicken, cream and a layer of cojica cheese. I was surprised it didn't have lettuce tomato, onions on top like most other places. My daughter ordered the taco plate w/rice and beans. We even ordered 2 plain Carne Asada tacos for our dog Hercules - he liked his tacos too! The service was fast - they delivered our to-go order pretty fast. The building reminds me of an In-N-Out - the indoor dining area is relatively big with a large counter and is very clean as well. They do have an area for their - condiments their salsa, pickled carrots ect. We ordered through the drive- thru - it was well lit and easy to see their digital menu board -which has a lot of awesome options to choose from. I will say that not many places have Sopes on their menu any more, and that's the reason I gave them a try. Party flavors in my mouth and would definitely reorder. The service was friendly when placing our order and it was ready pretty fast at the next window. I would definitely try their other options if I ever come across another Tacos Gavilan! If you are in the area give them a try I bet you will like them! * private parking so lots of parking spaces is well lit and clean. read more

This is my first time at Tacos Gavilan and I was really impressed with how fast the service was along with how clean the inside/outside of the restaurant is too. There is plenty of seating inside and a handful of tables outside, but we choose to go thru the drive through to place our order. The digital drive thru menu was well lit and very clear, we ordered a super chicken burrito, a carne asada taco and a chicken taco plate with rice. I really liked how the condiments are prepackaged, so you can avoid a mess going anywhere/everywhere - genius! The super burrito was my favorite as it had deliciously seasoned chicken with cheese, beans, rice and avocado. The rice by itself wasn't my favorite, but In the burrito, it was delicious! I enjoyed the chicken taco meat but the corn tortillas were a little too greasy for my liking. We'll see next time I'm in the area, maybe I'll order a quesadilla or something else that's delicious off the menu read more

This place never misses. Good prices for tacos. The meat is pretty good and flavorful. Inside is always clean. I like how they give you the onion and pickled carrots/jalapeño for free. Service is always friendly as well. Carne asada tacos and chicken tacos are the best. I also tried a super mulita with carne asada and it was fire. Only complaint is I wish they used less single use plastic when giving out sides and stuff; but I understand that's the corporate side of things fault and not this specific location so I'm not letting it affect the overall rating. But yeah less plastic waste would be great if the company sees this review somehow. Overall great experience every time. Also brought friends here a few times and I've always gotten positive reviews from them as well. 5/5 stars read more

This tacos shop serves very cheap and delicious food. I ordered my food online and picked up the food fairly easily so service was efficient. There are also side dishes like pickled pepper, onions, lemon after you received your food. What I found interesting was that these side dishes comes prepackaged, asking to ketchup packet. They do seem fresh though so cannot really deny that, but alot of plastic waste. The restaurant itself is big itself with ample parking. read more

My girlfriend and I, who are a same-sex couple, recently stopped at El Gavilan in West Covina to eat inside, and unfortunately the experience was very uncomfortable and unprofessional. My girlfriend asked the employees to open the restroom so she could use the women's bathroom. The employee at the counter unlocked it for her. As soon as she walked in, the employee turned to the other workers behind the counter and said something to them, and they began laughing and looking over at me while I waited. They continued to stare and give me dirty looks while we waited for our food. For context, my girlfriend is a woman but has short hair and was wearing shorts and a T-shirt. It felt like the employees were making assumptions about her and openly talking about us. Another woman who was there saw my girlfriend go into the women's restroom and then asked the staff if she could use the men's restroom instead, apparently because she felt uncomfortable. The employees allowed her to go into the men's restroom while a man was already inside, which made the situation even more awkward. What bothered me most was the lack of professionalism and respect. If the staff were unsure or had questions, they could have politely asked or clarified the situation. Instead, they chose to laugh, stare, and talk about customers. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and basic decency, regardless of how they look or who they are with. As a same-sex couple, the way we were treated felt extremely uncomfortable and inappropriate. read more

Gave my food away to a different person and were really rude to me and my 9 year old kids.

Came on a weekday during lunch and the service was fast and there plenty of seating. I ordered four tacos in total (asada and pastor). Both were delicious! The pastor was a lot juicier compared to the asada ones. It was very filling because they definitely loaded the taco! I liked how they had a bar section where you can grab the toppings. Everything was also packed, such as the onions and sauce. You can also grab your own beans, which are a must! Will definitely be coming back again when I crave some tacos! read more

The food is really great and delicious. The service was okay but so far good. The place is clean and gives off some good vibes.

When you absolutely need food and everywhere else is closed, Tacos Gavilan got your back. I've been here like 6 times because ei get home late and need a taco craving filled. They have decent food and they portions are decent. You will not go hungry. They individually wrap all their sides so you can either eat there or take it to go without making a mess. Do not expect amazing food, you are just here at 1am to get food and not go to bed hungry. They are open, clean, and super friendly be nice to them. Carne asada is okay but al pastor and chicken consistently taste good. If you go in expecting this you will be good to go. read more
