    Great eats with my flight
    Meri A.

    I found this business posted up at Ale Smith and when having some beers this really hit the spot. Just while ordering in front you immediately smell the flavors and aromas from everything that he is cooking. I tried the Lamb and Beef Doner Kabob which was fresh and tasty! Service was a bit on the slower side, but nonetheless for yummy Turkish food patience is a virtue. I highly recommend and will return for more when I catch this food truck around town.

    Lentil plate with pita bread and salad
    Nicole M.

    Wow can you say tons of flavor!!!! Omg this truck came to my job today and it was pure bliss. I love all food but today I decided to go with a meatless option and was on the limb of getting a falafel plate or a wrap. The lentil plate was recommended and I'm so glad I went with that option. It is absolutely amazing. Thank you guys for such amazing food and service

    Chicken  gyro woohoo good!!!
    Brady S.

    Small business owner my a really nice guy from Turkey! It took me a while to write a review but here it is! I eat this probably every Monday since he is always there at FALL BREWERY! Food: chicken kebob gyro is my all time favorite! Flavorful chicken and fresh veggies! I always ask for extra sauce because that sauce is app good! Chicken is moist and the beard is warm and soft! Service is awesome and it's nice to see he love what he does! Very professional and easy to deal with! QUICK AND EASY! He always has options for vegetarians! Over all great food and wonderful service! Plus I hate going far for this type of Food!

    Their specialty...chicken doner
    Paulina G.

    So far I've had Local Kebab 3 times and every time has been nothing short of amazing! Their ingredients are super fresh from their crispy lettuce to their perfectly grilled chicken and lamb/beef kebabs! They top their plates & sandwiches with some red spice that is absolutely delicious! I'm a wimp so I ask for mild! They also have these delicious lentil rolls that were a very new experience for my tastebuds! Vegan friendly and meat eater friendly. Their portions are pretty big. I always doubt that I can finish but it's so delicious that I tend to surprise myself and gobble it all up!

    "Chicken döner kebab" half full
    Kris F.

    Not impressed at all. Food trucks pull up to work daily, and this is def not on the top of the list. $13.50 for a small ass chicken kebab. Chicken was seasoned but dry, mostly cabbage, and pita crumbled right away. Waited about 15 minutes for 2 orders in front of mine and they had the same thing. Also, there is no beef or lamb kebabs. There is a logo with a cow and a lamb, but nope, only chicken or falafels on the menu. I could hit up the my local spot and pay $6 for a huge gyro. No thanks

    The lamb and beef doner kebab on pita
    Anna N.

    "OMG Delicious". Amazing customer service and delicious food. This guy has an amazing back story coming straight from Turkey with a whole bag full of spices and now can make everything from local San Diego farms. I love how he is all smiles and really enjoys making the food from marinating for 18 hours to cooking it right on the spot. The lamb and beef doner kebab on pita: Delicious and most be eaten on the spot! The lamb/beef has a nice char and is juicy and tender. The fresh sliced onion, lettuce, and tomato are a nice touch. The crumbled feta is tasty as well. The sauces are fresh and not watery like the other reviews. What is even more amazing, is if you like a little heat, he has this special spice that has a great flavor and slight heat to it. The warm pita bread (though from a store) is a nice fluffy vessel for all of tasty ingredients. Pumpkin dessert with tahini: Reminds me of a pumpkin pie but with more pumpkin. The tahini adds an interesting creamy bitterness to it. I like the contrast but I'll eat the whole thing as is because it's not too sweet but very flavorful. Overall, I will be back. He probably could manage to not rush too much and cook his meat a little slower and the cooking will compliment the meat a bit more but honestly, it's great enough as is to be back for more. It smells and tastes delicious! Can't wait to have this again!

    Wow this kebab is amazing. The owner of this local truck is friendly and will guid you to great selection that won't let you down. The chicken donor was outstanding there is a little kick but not to overwhelming, the lentils are amazing in this pita.

    It was good. All I can say is the price is not worth it. For two of their "special" Kebabs, with two bags of potato chips, $32. Enough said.

I bet they would have been amazing if they were served on a plate. They do have e a couple tables, but they are standing only. The sauces are REALLY good. The jalapeño hummus is super good! You can sub it out on a plate. It's a cool truck and San Diego needs more of these types of trucks. It is filling and worth going. At least once.

Half a dozen oysters with shrimp (maybe ceviche/aguachile) and some type of salsa. They come in a nice little bed of ice to keep them cool, they hit the spot on a warm day. I saved the last one towards the end of our meal because I was sad it was coming to an end. Definitely my favorite item of this trip. We also shared a large shrimp cocktail, fish flautas and Clamato. Shrimp cocktail had the perfect seasonings, salty and hint of sweet. Large is good as 1 meal or to share if trying different things. The fish flautas were good, they come with a fried fish inside. Not one of my top items of today but still good to try. The Clamato was so refreshing! Size is big for sharing, great flavor. Everything tasted very fresh which is so important, especially with the oysters. Staff was friendly and super welcoming! $66 for everything was decently priced 2 people sharing. Will definitely be visiting these guys again. *parking & seating - there are high tables and counter to eat on but no chairs.

They also offer grilled fish tacos, I learned later, which I would of had instead, but they are not on the menu. Both tacos came served with a light white mayo based dressing and with fresh slaw and a scattering of diced tomatoes and onions (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mariscos-oceanos-san-diego?select=MU7ZUhucQjbQKSYsrq_E_g#xOJqwrG36IiQ_a52y4_FPA). The fish taco was great. The batter with crispy and the fish inside was succulent and tender. The Shrimp taco was good too, but the batter could of used just a wee bit of more time in the fryer to crisp it up. The shrimp inside were well cooked and tender (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mariscos-oceanos-san-diego?select=MU7ZUhucQjbQKSYsrq_E_g#8mzgb5f8fiYoreKoMque5w). The corn tortillas were good, but I would recommend, if they can afford it, to double up on the tortillas because the tacos had a tendency to break under the weight of ingredients, especially the sauce. The offer a cup of fish broth with every meal, which I did not partake, and they have seating available next the truck. They are located as of 1/3/15 in the Miller's Market Parking lot. Nice people too....on the upper end of 3.5 stars..

I sat and sipped on my drink while observing orders coming to my friends and the people around me. One of the most prominent things I noticed was how fresh and vibrantly colored everything looked as well as the portion sizes. I knew I had to try it. So I walked up and was greeted by a really nice lady who was ready to answer any questions I had and take my order. The menu is easy to read and has some great choices from salads, to panini's, to wraps and soup. I opted for the chicken Caesar wrap, and let me tell you, it was so fresh, crisp, and flavorful! Packed with chicken, onions, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and croutons. The portion size was HUGE! The wrap had the most wonderful amount of crunch from the lettuce, onions, and croutons, and the dressing was generous but not too powerful. I definitely want to come back to helix brewing almost more for the food truck than the drinks! Bravo!
