    We heard about Shawarma guys from YT featuring best food spots in San Diego. We went to their South…read morePark branch. We were initially aiming for the crispy shawarma however only Mira Mesa and La Mesa does it. So I guess that's next on our list! The wraps were unexpectedly big! This is probably the biggest wrap I ever had! Generous with meat and veggies. Their wagyu egg rolls are definitely must have! Falafel fries is really good too! All of these perfectly paired with their garlic sauces. My favorite is spicy lemon garlic! The staff are very knowledgeable about their menu. It's a food truck set up and there's mini standing tables for alfresco dining. SG was definitely lived up to the title #1 restaurant in the country on Yelp!

    Came here on a Wednesday night around 8:30pm. I ordered online in advance and just waited outside…read morefor my order. There were plenty of parking spots around this time. Not really an ambience since there's not much as far as a dining room. There are a couple of cocktail tables where you could eat. After ordering online at 20:20pm, my estimated pick up time was 8:39pm and got the order at 9:03pm. The cashier informed me their chicken is taking a while and added extra time to the wait. It probably would've been faster if they weren't so backed up. I ordered the Wagyu beef and chicken shawarma plate for me and my wife to share. I added 3 falafels and pita bread on top of it. The food was still fresh when I got home 15 mins later. Everything was good and just enough for us two. Also, I'm not sure why there's a range of where they may be located on Yelp since this is just a food truck that seems to be permanent at this location.

Place was packed as…read morecould be due to the holiday and it took probably 50 minutes longer to get the order than the online estimate, but when I tell you that that food absolutely SMACKED and I would do it again, there is not a lie to be found. The staff was very gracious in the face of the huge crowd and a mountain of orders. The location is spacious with plenty of room to line up and tables to sit and eat or wait on orders. The parking was easy too which was a bonus. For food we got two orders of the big greedy with yams, greens, baked beans and the new mushroom rice. I will stress that everything was excellent and we would get this exact order again, but a few particular standouts were 1) Fried Catfish. Our favorite protein by far. It was deliciously seasoned, perfectly fried, and succulently tender, 2) Candied Yams. They were sweet, tender and nicely balanced, 3) Mushroom Parmesan Rice. We only tried this because so many of the other sides were sold out and man are we glad we did. Our family tore this side up! The mushroom parm gravy was smooth and creamy with large chunks of mushroom. Definitely a great addition to the sides list. Our family can't wait to go back and try more of what CBB has to offer. So glad they've got a brick and mortar restaurant now!

    Another wonderful Persian restaurant discovered! My husband and I were looking for a place to eat…read morebefore going to the AMC next door and I'm so happy we found this restaurant. At first glance, we knew we were in for a true authentic and great meal when we saw other Persians dining at the restaurant ;D Vibes: Namino shares a parking lot with other food establishments but on a Tuesday afternoon, we didn't have trouble finding a spot. The restaurant gives a mom and pop vibe, where they warmly welcomed us in. I loved that the lady gave us a bell to ring when we're ready to order. There were more than a handful of 4 person tables available inside. No outdoor seats. The guy who took our order and served our food was welcoming and our food came out within 10 minutes. Food: -Beef Koobideh Kabob ($15.95): skewer of suuuper flavorful beef served on a bed of saffron rice with a side salad and half a roasted tomato. I saw one of the reviews here that said to put sumac powder on the rice-- thank you for that! I asked for tzatziki sauce on the side and it paired well with the kabob. -Beef Kabob Sandwich ($11.95): my husband ordered this and he loved it as well. If we weren't in a hurry to catch a movie, I would've loved to try the baklava. Overall: A great authentic Persian restaurant located in La Jolla. You won't be disappointed!

    TLDR; A small, no nonsense cafe serving absolutely mouth watering Persian dishes. Quaint ambience…read moreand old school city service (you just gotta flag people down) but the food is highly recommended. Namino, located in the holiday court lot (next to the Whole Foods plaza) is a small space looking like an east coast diner. They have a small menu and don't mind if you help yourself to drinks and a seat. The owner literally just told me to shout out my order when I was ready. No nonsense, quick, and it worked well. No complaints there. Service 9/10 Fesenjoon: That day's special. This dish is phenomenal and a hefty portion. The stew itself was not shy at all about flavor; an appreciable sweetness and tart flavor coming from pomegranate, an earthy blend of spices (for sure can taste bag and cinnamon as well as toasted walnuts. I'm sure there's more) and the chicken is clearly well seasoned. The stew itself is not to thin or thick, resembling a texture slightly thicker than a Japanese style curry. The specials are served with a side salad and saffron rice. The salad is dressed with a yogurt based dressing. Light and refreshing. Nothing surprising. The saffron rice is lightly seasoned with saffron, mostly white rice. The big kicker here is tableside condiments include sumac, and that is a huge bonus. Pour a liberal amount in your rice and thank me later. Gotta love a Persian restaurant with sumac! Food 9/10. The tea served is a spiced black I believe. May be an acquired tasted for those used to English breakfast. I'll definitely be back. Namino is great for a quick lunch and the food is fantastic. Hopefully I'll be able to try more of the menu soon!

    I tried this food truck when they visited my apartment community and my Butcher Burger did not…read moredisappoint! Both the burger and fries were delicious, and the server was very friendly, though it took them a minute to notice that I was there. The truck appears clean and well-lit, and they have menus both on the truck and on a stand off to the side to make it easy to see the options. My only negative is that the takeout containers are just open cardboard sort of bowls with no lid, and for a place with no seating where people are meant to take their food with them, this makes the food difficult and messy to transport. Regular takeout containers would be much more helpful. I will also say that $19 is a lot for a takeout burger (with tax and tip) however good that burger was. Definitely a splurge for me.

    This truck ATE. DOWN. Tried it out for the first time when it had a slot at my work, and it didn't…read moredisappoint. I ordered the Westside Burger because I was craving onion rings and was pleasantly surprised that the side of curly fries (or chips) came with it! Burger was cooked to perfection, the cheese melted nice with a good pull, I had a plethora of pickles with extra on the side and the onion rings were just right (thinly sliced, nice crispy batter). Another plus was my brioche toasted on both sides. The customer service was amazing, the guys were kind and efficient. Also, they played good music while I waited for my food, so another plus for that! 12/10 would highly recommend ‍

They were friendly, helpful with the menu, and made sure everything was good. The ceviche and seafood tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. You can really tell they use quality ingredients, and the flavors were bright and refreshing. Every bite tasted fresh and well prepared. If you're in San Diego and craving good seafood, this food truck is definitely worth checking out. Great service, fresh seafood, and a very enjoyable experience overall!

Ironically, the OG fish taco ended up being the winner--crispy, flavorful, and delicious even without adding any sauce. The fish ceviche was good, but I personally prefer Oscar's style since I like my fish thinly sliced rather than chopped. Presentation was nice with the orchid and beautifully fanned avocado, but it felt a bit overdone for food truck-style ceviche. I'd rather have a little more seafood than a flower. The octopus ceviche was surprisingly good though--tender and served in huge chunks. I was a little surprised that the octopus + shrimp combo costs more than ordering the octopus and shrimp individually. I expected either a larger portion or better value, but that didn't seem to be the case. Another disappointment was the Sunday daily special. It advertised $1.50 oysters, but I only found out there was a minimum order of six after asking, so I ended up skipping them. Read that they're featured on Netflix Taco Chronicles so I'm definitely gonna be watching it soon
