“I’ve had their food about 10 times. All late night and all random times. I’ve had just about everything on their menu and everything they have is absolutely amazing. I’m from the valley and im use to food from Mexico since my family is from there. I have yet to find anything in Corpus Christi that reminds me of home and this literally feels like it’s out of my grandmas kitchen. The family that owns this business is the sweetest too. Love this place. 10/10 would recommend“

“El Gavilan Pollero has been a staple in my dining experience for years, and it never ceases to impress. This charming restaurant offers a delightful culinary journey, especially if you're a fan of grilled chicken.

One of my go-to orders is the half chicken, which is always cooked to perfection. The meal comes with a generous portion of juicy chicken, including the breast, wing, and drum, all bursting with flavor. Accompanying the chicken is a cup of savory beans, fluffy rice, warm tortillas, and salsa that perfectly complements the dish. The addition of grilled onions and a grilled green chile pepper adds a nice touch of smokiness and heat, making every bite a pleasure.

The quantity of food is consistently impressive, ensuring that you leave satisfied. The atmosphere is welcoming, making it a great spot for family dinners or casual outings with friends. The staff is friendly and attentive, always ready to help with menu recommendations.

Overall, I highly recommend El Gavilan Pollero for anyone looking for a hearty and delicious meal. With its consistently great quality and generous portions, it's no wonder this place has become one of my favorite restaurants. Whether you’re a longtime patron or a first-time visitor, you’re sure to enjoy an exceptional dining experience.“

“Our meal was delicious and warm/hot.“

“Good prices, very clean very friendly fast service I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“

“Small place, big flavor. Everyone is friendly and service is great. The queso came with the free chips and salsa. I was surprised considering no one gives you anything like that for free. Portions were big and prices were very, very affordable.

Parking: Enough parking. Restaurant isn't too big so if there isn't any parking, chances are there isn't a table available but you should wait because it will be worth it.“

“Im so happy I found this place. The fish was deliciously well done, and taste yummy, the rice was Perfect, and they give chips and fried beans complementary which gives it a plus, the place was clean, and, well taken care of. Prices are great for lots of food. Customer service top notch. Highly recommended ?“

“Our office manager brought us each a barbacoa taco from there. It was delicious! It was still piping hot when it got back to the office. I had to know the name of the place where she got them. She said by HEB on Kostoryz. So there I go on google maps to find yall! I will be going back!“

“Nice relaxing atmosphere on a Saturday morning with music playing in the background of Vicente Fernandez. The breakfast plates were delicious! The server was pleasant. Came on the weekend of SandFest to enjoy and this stop was a great start of the day. Dined in. Very clean A+“

“Had the urge for a chicharon and huevo taco, this place blows the competition out of the water. A little skeptical at first but the combination is great! The homemade corn tortilla makes it even better!??“

“Love this place great food❤“

“The tortillas were tough as heck. They were not the soft fluffy tortillas served in the past. I ordered a potato & egg plate that looked like it was scraped off the bottom of the pan. The waitress was M.I.A. But if you're into refried beans, they were on point.
Update: tremendous improvement beans are still ?? ?“

“Delicious chicken soup and friendly service!!“

“Awesome shrimp cocktail!!“

“Yummy, Food was soooo good! QuesoBirria was thick filled with meat and cheese And I loved the lemonade with cucumbers! Delicious.“

“The turkey and dressing special is amazing. So much food for a low price. Seriously $10.81 for turkey and dressing, corn, green beans, mashed potatoes, and a roll and a drink. You can’t match that anywhere in town. Norma and Maribel make sure you get your money’s worth. I have had the fruit cup you can customize and the banana pudding. I’ve even taken the banana pudding to my friend at Razzoo’s and promoted the place to both the greeter and my friend working at the bar. Norma’z is cheap, the staff is friendly and helpful. They created a repeat customer on my first visit.“

“Stopped by after my trip to Lowes grocery store. Ordered 3 Carne guisada tacos. I have to say the flour tortillas are awesome. The tacos tasted excellent. The beef was tender and flavorful. Plus it's super affordable. It was like 9 dollars for everything. If you're inTaft stop here for a quick bite to eat. You're going to love it. Plus its very clean, and cool. Temperature wise. And the staff is super friendly. A+ Service.“

“Warning! Not for the bland of palates, or car picnics... Its a flavor bomb! We had the birria tacos and hot cheeto sticks! 8 out of 10. Def going back for more!“

“We have functions for our BUNCO Group and the staff goes beyond amazing in meeting our needs. Great prices for our food selections and they let us have FUN! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!“

“Down in corpus with work, and wanted some Mexican got off early enough. Found this place and man was it delicious! Food was hot and fresh! The salsa was the best part! They don’t have a big menu so not a whole lot of options but food was 10 out of 10. I got the #2 which is the steak fajitas! I didn’t get a picture this go around. It was so delicious completely forgot to get the picture.“

“don't waste your time or money on this place. learned my lesson today after having to send my wife up there twice and they still messer up the order.“

“It’s all about the food. No fine wine or dine, very authentic Mexican food. Had been craving the buche, but a place well known to me. While not healthy likely it’s really good. The tripas look crunchy but we’re not. They were exactly in the manner I ask them to be! All the hot sauces are fresh, great and plenty of fresh cucumbers, radishes and all normal condiments. Have to try it! Inside a Mexican grocery store; La Hacienda! Plenty of colony sources from mexico even. Just cool to Walk around and all! Not a baby flea market, but they carry a lot of things I don’t believe others in Corpus carry. Blessings! Se trata de la comida. No hay buen vino ni cena, comida mexicana muy auténtica. Hacía tiempo que se me antojaba el buche, pero se les iba acabado; pero un lugar muy conocido por mí. Si bien no es saludable, es realmente muy muy bueno. Las tripas se ven crujientes pero no están. ¡Eran exactamente de la manera que les pido que sean! Todas las salsas picantes son frescas, excelentes y abundantes pepinos frescos, rábanos y todos los condimentos normales. ¡Tienes que probarlo! Dentro de una tienda de abarrotes mexicana; ¡LaHacienda! Un montón de fuentes de colonias de México incluso. simplemente genial para ¡Camina y todo! No es un mercado de pulga, pero tienen muchas cosas que no creo que lleven otros en Corpus. ¡Bendiciones!“

“I like to buy my taco’s there in the morning but the only thing I don’t like is that they give you preheated flour tortillas it happens three time and I stop going there than I went his morning and try them again and they still gave me preheated tortillas from yesterday while the lady making fresh tortillas I hope they can change that everything else is very good food but I’ll drop again sometime next week and try them again !“

“It's a very welcoming, caring restaurant. Waitresses are friendly and always checking up on their customers to see if everything is ok and if we need anything else. The food is so delicious and affordable. I highly recommend Hermanos Solis. You will feel like home at this restaurant. God bless everyone at Solis restaurant.“

“THE BEST FOOD IN CORPUS CHRISTI THE FLAVOR IS TOTALLY AMAZING TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN ALL OTHER RESTAURANTS“

“I know everyone has their own tastes and preferences for “Mexican” food. My friends that know me know that I am very picky. I have lived a lot of places around the US. I have been very disappointed in my options down here in this area. Then I found you guys. Your queso is what I have been dreaming of and missing since we moved here. And the flavors in your parillada make my taste buds so happy I could cry. Thank you“

“Just had the breakfast Barbacoa plate with eggs and homemade corn tortillas and it was very good. I will be revisting this restaurant again as the food was delicious and very filling portions were above average.“

“Oh deer perfect food were so away from home and home was brought to the plate. we had everything we can amd eat mole oh absolutely the best, fajitas the best flavor, breakfast home style and perfect. I give them a perfect 10.“

“Ordered two corn tortilla tacos, one machacado ala Mexicana, the other chicharonnes en salsa roja de carne. The tacos were awesome!!! The service was great my coffee cup never ran dry. The green salsa is better. Stop by and try it you won't be disappointed.“

“Great food! Will definitely stop by again.“
