    amazing! got food at midnight on christmas eve and the nicest woman was working. we got so much food and she gave us spicy garlic for free :)) loved the food and the atmosphere. soo close to campus too. gyro wrap was the best. we also got the chicken shwarma rice bowl, a mix of gyro and beef shwarma quesadilla which comes with fries, and a side of falafel.

    3.5 stars to be exact! The food truck is in front of the gas station parallel to The Block. We went late afternoon to try out this truck and there was no line. I ordered beef kabobs over rice and my husband got the chicken shawarma over rice. We went inside the gas station while our order was being prepared for get drinks and chips. Very convenient! The food took a good 20 minutes and everything was fresh. Unfortunately, when I got home and looked inside my meal there was chicken shawarma and no beef. You also only get two thin strips. Chicken is the best part of the meal with the rice being bland and hard to go wrong with the salad. I did get the spicy garlic and tahina sauce on the side, which I don't recommend as they are very watery and both very sour. Food wasn't bad, but not the best. At least it was fresh.

    The portion used to be good. Now the price is way higher and extra if you want beef on the family meal and looks like a kids meal. The sandwich used to be fat, Filled with chicken, now it's just sauce and bread. This is a rip off for $61!!

    We stopped by this food truck to pick up dinner while passing through San Antonio, and it was an overall average experience. We called twice & they did not answer the phone, so we ordered through Grub Hub (which they advertised as an option) and arrived at the stated time. The man working there then told us that those times are wrong & that it would be at least another 30 minutes. Once we said that we couldn't wait that long, he was friendly in helping us change our order. For the meal, I ordered the beef shawarma sandwich, and while the pita bread was very fresh, I felt like the beef itself had a strange gelatinous texture. The french fries were good - crispy on the outside and well-seasoned. I really liked the tahini sauce! We also tried the kibbeh, which I had never had before, and I thought it had a very unique spiced flavor. While it wasn't the best Mediterranean food experience, if you are craving some in San Antonio (esp. with tahini sauce), this might be a good option!

    Chicken Over Rice With some spicy sauce! Super good. Love this place so much

    I absolutely LOVE this food truck! It's right off of UTSA Blvd. And the service is always quick and reliable. They get through plenty of customers in a short amount of time and all the items on the menu are great! From Arabis to the veggies, everything is scrumptious!!

    this guy is a fucking rip off. I've been eating his food four years now and the portions are constantly getting smaller and he constantly gets orders wrong and gives you the wrong thing even though you're paying a lot of money for his food he just doesn't care. We got a small bowl that was supposed to be chicken over rice and it's literally just lettuce and a few pieces of chicken, do not eat here go to any other joint. This guy is a scam artist.

    I'm going to give this location 3 stars. Only bc the food was cold & I asked for extra hot sauce & white sauce and it pretty dry. I'm from NY & I also know how to make chicken over rice. (But I like to try places) The chicken taste like shredded rotisserie chicken. Not enough tumeric in the rice. I feel like a lot of companies can get away with half ass food bc people from SA don't have a clue. Also for the portion it's not worth 10.29. San Antonio be robbing folks with their prices.

    This food truck has been open for about a year now, and I've been tempted to stop on more than one occasion. The night I finally stopped, they were all sold out of beef shawarma, so I opted for the chicken shawarma sandwich/wrap. OMG, the chicken was OUT of this world! It was neatly wrapped in a markouk wrap, stuffed with plenty of moist, flavorful chicken shawarma, tomatoes, lettuce, and topped with an AWESOME, creamy garlic dressing ($6.50). It took about 15 minutes to prepare my food but that just means it's fresh. The wrap, the chicken, and all the veggies on it were fresh. The dude that runs this truck is a monster! I don't know how he does it, but he's open from 11am to 2am Sunday through Thursday, and 11am to *4am* Friday and Saturday. I saw the hours and couldn't believe my eyes. I asked him to confirm it and he did. ALL of your late night dreams have been answered my friends. Never underestimate a food truck parked in a gas station parking lot.

    I was really hoping the food from this location was going to be good. I ordered via Uber Eats. The food I received was awful. The rice was old, days old and cold. The protein was bland, no flavor at all. My college son who normally eats anything and everything wouldn't even eat the food after one taste. For the amount of money paid was not worth it. I don't recommend.

    If you like middle eastern food, you will love Zaatar Lebanese Restaurant. I didn't dine in,…read moreinstead placed an order online and was excited to get my order within 20 mins. I chose something simple and it was very tasty. I ate it all very quickly. I do however wish I were a fan of pistachios as it was very picturesque behind the glass display case. I topped off my meal with a very flavorful drink that vaguely reminded me of Sonic's cherry limeade. A fast-food drink I love, by the way. I told my daughter we have to go back and in the meantime I recommend this restaurant highly.

    Lebanese comfort, done right. First time at Zaatar, walked in and met by Saïd, our super sweet…read morewaiter with the most wonderful smile! He not only answered every question we had about the menu, he was so gracious to get the manager when he wasn't sure on how to explain an item to us. He was prompt and checked on us often, very much appreciated. As an appetizer we tried a cup of the lentil soup, it was so comforting and warming, it had a savory taste. We also tried the falafel appetizer and it tasted so good, flakey, and the sauce it came with was perfection! The falafel tasted so good on its own. My husband and I decided to share one plate, the mixed shawarma plate, it was very big and enough for the both of us. It comes with pita bread! The chicken and gyro meat were so perfectly seasoned, the beef shawarma was good, not great. All the specialty sauces: hummus, garlic and tzatziki were absolutely tasty! We asked for more as it just complimented every bite! The plate also comes with a lemony salad, which went perfectly with every thing! We fell in love with their rice, we ordered a side of just rice! It's absolutely lovely! To drink we got their hot tea, which is black tea and you can choose to have it with natural mint leaves, it was perfection in a cup! The music was traditional Lebanese, which made you feel like you were transported to Lebanon. Will be going back very soon!

I couldn't help myself but immediately attack the garlic appetizer. So I apologize for the demolished garlic appetizer. I spoke with the chef and he said that the hummus is handmade, daily. Same thing with the flat bread that is served. The garlic appetizer is lovely as it is a refreshing starter with some bite to it. Garlic is very present so beware those who are not a fan of garlic. I do recommend with the olive oil as it adds a nice silky smooth texture. The fries served with the Gyro Wrap meal. We're crunchy and seasoned with paprika. A unique choice that I enjoy. As for the Star, the Gyro Wrap. It is served in a beautiful presentation. The meat is soft and very intense in flavor. The vegetables in the wrap are tender and add depth. The sauce which I assume is Tzatziki Sauce resembles the thickness of mayo which is different from other Tzatziki Sauce. I do love the freshness it adds to the wrap! The restaurant has only been open for 6 months which is impressive for the quality of food. Overall, I recommend having a try at this place!

    Absolutely blown away by our experience at Shawarma Boys!…read more I ordered the Gyro Plate a perfect mix of lamb and beef with rice and salad, tzatziki sauce and my son went with the beef shawarma plate, Arabi-style--both were packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly fresh. Every bite tasted like it was made with care and authenticity.The Arabic style beef was crispy on the edges which made it even better. We couldn't leave without dessert, and the baklava with honey and pistachio drizzle was out of this world--crispy, sweet, and just the right balance of richness. To top it all off, we enjoyed Turkish coffee that was bold, smooth, and the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Forgot to mention the freshly made Falafel, not pre made and frozen. The chef here makes everything from scratch with family recipes. From the food to the overall experience, everything was top-notch. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to. There is a little bit of a wait for the food since everything is fresh from scratch. Bathroom is clean. Small interior but nicely decorated and two large screen TV's showing cooking videos which were very entertaining. Definitely worth a try.
