TL;DR Serviceable food, shady pricing, do not recommend.After some errands off Yale Blvd, we wanted tacos, so I looked for new spots along the route home and found La Gaviota on the map. Didn't check reviews before ordering, just the menu.I'm fluent in Spanglish and had no communication problems from the lady taking orders and apparently running the show. No attitude either. She seemed friendly and deliberate. I'm also not a xenophobe. Go figure. She didn't have any change in the register (see other reviews), but spotted me a few pennies. Gracias.One reason we picked La Gaviota was variety. We sampled asada tacos along with a gordita adovada and a pupusa with asada and cheese. Regardless of shell, each item did the trick. My favorite was the pupusa, but again, there were neither slouches nor standouts.After looking at the "menu" link on their webpage, I smiled at the prices. It was like hitting Federal Blvd in 2011. $1.89 for a taco? Yes. I chose to call instead of ordering online. Didn't look at the online order link. Big mistake. The prices charged me match the "online ordering," not the menu. They're much much higher. The website menu says $2.99 for a gordita adobada. Online ordering and my price? $6.31. More than double. Unacceptable. There are no prices posted on the restaurant menu boards to break the tie. Good thing I had some extra bucks. My total surprised me. It was not quoted me at the time of ordering. Seamless.I won't go back, even if the food is ok and Hanlon's Razor may object. One star.

This is LEGIT Mexican food!! (like they have in Mexico)You may have to wait a bit for it, but it's worth it. I once had to wait 15 min. past the quoted time on a phone order - there were only two (2) people working at the time, and only one (1) designated cook.Tacos are generously FILLED with meat, and salsas are super tasty.Also have a good selection of Mexican beers.

Saturday April 5th 2014 Time about 19:01hrs Went to this Tacos establishment since Hubs is hungry and we were in the Neighborhood running some errands just across the street. Before, we enter this establishment, we saw one of the staff is mopping the floor. She stopped what she was doing. She ran the counter, while I think there is another staff back at the kitchen coz when I ask her if they have certain meats for Tacos, she went back to the Kitchen to consult the other staff. We were the ONLY patrons at that hour, in which I felt as if I should go some where else other than this establishment.If I am not mistaken we ordered these following items :* Barbacoa ($1.50)* Carne Asada ($1.50)* Lengua Tacos ($1.89)* Soda Chica ($1.50)* 3 Carne Asada Tacos @ $1.50 each hence it was $4.50* Mexican Coke Cola ($2.00) We ordered and paid our order at the counter, and seat ourselves at the front section of this establishment. This establishment is spacious. While the staff is OK, the Tacos we ordered were just MEH. *SAD FACE & SIGH*I had the Barbacoa, Carne Asada and Lengua Tacos, while Hubs had all the other 3 Carne Asada Tacos. The Tacos we received were just lukewarm. Some even was COLD. *SAD FACE INDEED & DOUBLE SIGH* Nothing stellar, nothing fancy. My bad, I should have gone some where else that evening. They have a Salsa Bar, but the Salsa Bar looks so sad, and limited options. *TRIPPLE SIGH*I even have to bring my Plate to the Salsa Bar, coz they RAN OUT of the disposable mini containers for the Salsa/Condiments. *BUMMER* *Another Sad Face*Anyhoos, there are better Tacos out there, in this part of Neighborhood. Hubs as usual get the Mexican Coke Cola, while I opt to have a Strawberry Soda from an entirely new Brand I am NOT used to. Strawberry Soda was just A-OKAY. My Strawberry Soda as usual LOADED with Sugar.They have the TV all the way back at the dining area..The lady behind the counter who handled our transaction her name is Rosa.That evening our Dinner with tax was $13.92.El Jakalito2280 S.

YA BASTA CON EL GUERISMO.Most negative reviews are coming from people that would give hacienda colorado a 5. You know, because the fit the corporate tex mex bill and are super fast and fancy.You lookin for good meats at a traditional dive? aqui no mas man. They loose a star because the al pastor was a touch luke warm and was low on the pina a bit, in my very non expert opinon. The carnitas were 100% on point - I think the thrid taco I got was buche and remember really enjoying it.cheap AF, authentic AF, not the kind of place you go if you need your ass kissed by the wait staff or a vintage wine list.

Stoped in for a breakfast burrito and asked for a hand held. When I realized it was dry inside and I needed to add salsa, I asked for a plate and a fork. The woman at the front acted like she didn't know what a plate was and finally another person said plato. I asked for a fork and she said no and pointed to salsa area where there was only spoons for salsa and coffee. Added some salsa and burrito fell apart. The woman upfront was unhelpful and unfriendly. Won't bother coming back.

Small portions yet expensive (in my opinion). No real flavor very bland food. Wouldn't recommend.

If you don't speak Spanish don't bother going here, only equal to their own, had to give me short handed change back because they "didn't have change" for a 20 I was paying with, also was over charged for a soda and when I showed them their OWN website they said "sorry not correct" I would just suggest going to chakkas down evans it's absolutely way better and better prices and no funny business either! Chakkas is the real deal for the locals, not this place, I believe they only like their own
