El Gavilan Restaurant offers delicious food and excellent service, making it a favorite spot for families. The house dish is a must-try, while the enchiladas Monterey and fajitas are highly recommended. They also serve tasty Salvadorian food. The restaurant is known for its flavorful dishes and a welcoming atmosphere. Customers have enjoyed the Vegetable Fajita, which comes with tortilla, rice, veggies, guacamole, and beans. However, there have been reports of long wait times for food, despite quick seating. The alcoholic cocktails are delicious and strong, with authentic Mexican style Pina coladas. There are homemade tortilla chips and salsa available as well. While the service has been described as cheerful and efficient, some diners have noted a lack of seasoning in their meals, particularly in the crab and shrimp chimichangas. Overall, the experience can vary, but El Gavilan Restaurant remains a popular choice for those looking for tasty food. Parking is convenient with a small lot available and a larger free lot nearby.
