    Food truck
    Gwyn C.

    So excited to try this food truck! The reviews are enticing and mom's a huge middle eastern food fan. Fidel was amazing. He took time to get to know me and give tips about the food. In fact he even talked me into trying the Vimeo soda which was surprisingly good. A little fruity with a hint of cola. Would definitely get it again. Portions are very generous which makes the price fitting. Mom had chicken shawarma with garlic fries. The garlic was very light, almost unnoticeable. Shawarma was good but benefits from additional sauce. A special black ketchup was included which was very tasty. Suggest asking for extra. I had the beef shawarma wrap with waffle fries. Perfectly cut to eat almost like finger food so you don't get too messy. It was good, seemed fresh. I definitely preferred the waffle fries to the garlic ones. Nice that there was a set up adjacent to the truck to sit and enjoy the meal while it's hot. Worth keeping your eye on this food truck!

    Double Trouble Wrap (Half and Half Chicken & Beef Shawarma)

    Hear me out, some of the best shawarma you'll get in San Diego is being served in the parking lot of a gas station in Santee. My son's taekwondo class is down the block from Mr. Shawarma and I've driven by them a few times but I tried them for the first time yesterday and I was blown away. The food is incredibly fresh and flavorful, you can put their garlic sauce on a shoe and it'll be good. The saj bread they use in the wrap is perfect, it's toasted perfectly so it's flakey and pliable, it's delicious. Unfortunately I didn't get the gentleman's name but he was super nice and personable, he took his time to explain the menu and recommend a few items. I was also impressed with their pricing, they have the fairest prices I've seen in a loooooong time, I mean you can get 3 pieces of Baklava for like 6 bucks which is unheard of. Im definitely looking forward to trying more of the menu. Bonus: They serve 100% Halal meat

    Stopped by here on a rainy night. It was 8:45 and all our other go-to places were closing soon. I'm so glad we came across this gem. Super friendly service! The menu has a great variety to choose from. I got the Hangover Burger plate. It was HUGE and absolutely delicious. Seriously delicious! My husband got the Double Trouble plate. Both were very fresh and a lot of food. Can't wait to try other menu items. And the fact they are open until midnight.....super bonus! Had to come back to add, the Baklava is amazing. The freshest I've ever had.

    Food is great! we ordered beef shawarma wrap and got a free nutella baclava and a free water bottle. Not just the food is great, the owner Alfred is very friendly it makes it you feel to comeback. Just heads up, the truck is park at the gasoline station. Not the back or side. Its on the corner of grape and pacific. No tables or chairs so its kinda take out or eat in your car. Well peace out Alfred your doing great sir.

    Oh my! Best schwarma I have ever had! I have been to Kuwait, Lebanon, Dubai, and many other countries. I never imagined the best schwarma would be in San Diego. The guy who makes them, Ziad, had the best service and experience at at food truck I have ever had. Will definitely go out of my way to eat here again!

    Finally a really Mediterranean place with REAL shawarma! My husband and I came here tonight and had the most delightful experience. The customer service is fantastic and super friendly. We asked for assistance with our selections and ended up going with the shawarma plate and several desserts. All of the food was so fresh and flavorful. The Shawarma melts in your mouth and the chicken was tender and savory. The accompaniments were so good. Also- the baklava was hands down the best I've ever had. INCREDIBLE. This place is reasonable and has great portion sizes! Can't wait to come back.

    Came by this food truck on Yelp serving your bssic middle-eastern dishes with a twist. We came late at night and they ran out of many items, so we settled upon the Mr. Shawarma fries with beef, along with tahini and garlic sauce as that was all they had. This turned out to be delicious and the owners were very friendly as well, it was late night after a long day and we had a great experience with the owners. The menu ranges from combo plates all the way to hot dogs and Baklava. They have a lot to offer and I can see why they're quite popular.

    Falafel Rice Bowl
    Cynthia M.

    Uhm I'm super dissatisfied. As a pregnant woman who was craving some Mediterranean food. I ordered a bowl so I can just walk close to the water and enjoy it. I ordered a falafel rice bowl. And I mean they didn't falsely advertise...that is exactly what I got. Just rice and falafel lol No veggies or the pepperoncinis I paid extra for. It's comical. $12.69 for this was disappointing. Sauce on the side was also not enough for the tiny bowl lol be warned

    Mr. Shawarma Fries Combo

    10/10 place to visit!! My friend and I got the Mr. Shawarma fries, one with chicken and one with beef. The flavor cannot be beat and don't even get me started on the sauce!!! We've been to many locations and this one on pacific highway has been the best. The woman working gave great suggestions and was so helpful and friendly. Food came out quick and hot! Mr. Shawarma you have gained some loyal customers for life. I'm gonna have to stop myself from coming back every day

    got a nasi kuning combo, which came with: -rice infused w…read morecoconut milk & turmeric, topped w roasted peanuts & crispy potato sticks (like pik-nik) in a sweet-savory sauce -braised beef -a hard-boiled egg, fried on the outside & topped w chili sauce -a slaw of cabbage, carrots, & green beans topped w savory grated coconut the beef was tender (a bit bland for me tho) & everything else was rly tasty. the food came out hot & fresh, & the portion was enough for a couple meals for me this isn't a storefront, just a kitchen rented out at barrio food hub, alongside many others. when you walk in, there are just a couple ipads for you to choose a restaurant & order, showing how long the wait will be (& it was v accurate in our case). you get a text when your order's ready, then you show your receipt to a camera & a cubby opens w your order in it. sure it's non-traditional, but if it helps small businesses start out before affording a storefront (or even shave a few dollars off our meal), i can appreciate it. they have a phone number if you need to talk to somebody, but we had no issues at all out front there's a turf area w wood tables & benches & umbrellas, & even one of those giant connect-fours that kids were playing with. it was surprisingly p tidy - it prob helps that most ppl take-out rather than stay overall i'd def come back to try more dishes! i'll just order 20 minutes ahead of time

I had forgotten how ghost kitchens work, so I didn't order ahead of time. The nasi kuning was good, but there was way too much rice. The same goes for the ayam geprek. They also provided very little sambal, which was quite disappointing. I did enjoy the Teh Kotak, though. Overall, it's a good option if you're really hungry, but I wouldn't come here for the dining experience.

And their customer service has always been on point. I remember one time I ordered through IG or over the phone and there was a mix-up. I thought I was ordering tacos, but ended up getting their quesadillas instead, and it was a lot of food. Needless to say, I had lunch for days lol. Honestly, it was a pretty great accident. It's been a while since the Mrs and I grabbed tacos from them since we moved from The Enclave, so I think we're definitely overdue. Also, they're big dog lovers, which is a huge plus for us. They always showed so much love to our black German Shepherd every time we pulled up. Their food is something special...always handled with care and made with obvious love. I really hope we start seeing them around Chula Vista more in the near future. If you're reading this, please support them. They're great people making great food, and it won't hurt your wallet either. Thanks guys! And RIP THOR!!!!
