I've looked at the Spanish and English definitions of each. It seems that pabellón would carry the meaning "pavilion" in English, while quisco would mean kiosk.

Generally we think of a pavilion as something more substantial and large whereas a kiosk is quite small and maybe even moveable.

You can do some research here:

quiosco

pabellón

Jubilado is right, it's generally a question of size. Here in Spain quiosco usually makes you think of a small structure in the street where you can buy newspapers or lottery tickets as you will see in the images.
