    Beef Shwarma Bowl with saffron rice, hummus, tabouli
    Lori T.

    I was so happy to see Pacific Pita finally open - it's a great addition to the neighborhood. If you blink, you'll miss it - it's right next to the little convenience market at Cleveleland/Meade. Went for the soft opening and had the beef shwarma bowl and enjoyed the tabouli and saffron rice mixed with the hummus and garlic sauce (FYI, garlic is prominent which I loved). I thought the portion size was great for the price. Like another reviewer, I thought that a few pita bites would've enhanced the dish since the portion of hummus was huge. I'll definitely go back and try the other yummy options. I do wish they had a small table/umbrella to give it a little more friendly curb appeal. Even a portable umbrella and belly bars from costco would be fine. Overall, great addition to the neighborhood and I cant wait to return.

    Pacific Pita is a set of service windows operating out of a structure in the University Heights neighborhood. The business was on a random corner next to a convenience store where there were two dedicated parking spots out front (one regular, one handicapped). There were no chairs or tables outside which was a shame because that meant you had to take your food to go. After placing an order, you could either stand next to a fence or go back to your vehicle and wait. A menu sheet was posted next to each window. For what appeared to be a small operation, there were lots of Mediterranean based choices across the categories of appetizers, bowls, fries, salads, and wraps. You could even order party size trays if you needed large quantities. I selected a Salmon Tikka Bowl out of the nine bowl varieties. Herb-marinated salmon chunks were added on top of my choice of base which was a hybrid of greens and saffron rice. Hummus, garlic, tahini sauce, and tabouli salad were provided on the side. I thought the quantity of food was decent for the $19.99 price. The hummus and tahini sauce were perfect to mix with the yellow rice and made it less dry to consume. Perhaps some pita slices could have been added to the order. The salmon was slightly overcooked, but the marinade was able to save the protein. I gave a four star rating for my takeout experience at Pacific Pita.

    Chicken Shawarma Wrap
    Jack M.

    Pacific Pita has recently opened its doors. It is a to-go place only at this point. It's located next to the "American Market" convenience store. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap with no fries. All their wraps come with fries. Even without the fries, they still had me pay the full price of $15.99 plus which came out to $17 and some change. I wish they would have offered me a small salad, a small side of hummus, or a small side of babaghanoush at least. At any rate, the chicken shawarma wrap was very good. It did not come wrapped in more traditional pita, lavish, or saj flat bread, but rather a good and dependable flour tortilla, which was of good quality. The chicken was tender and very tasty. The tahini sauce that came inside the wrap was very good. The house pickled cucumbers were great and the tomatoes and onions were fresh. They put just enough sumac to complement the rest of the ingredients. A very good shawarma wrap. The hospitality was pretty good. There was not much conversation, but then they were busy getting ready for the day. The service was average. It did take about 15 minutes to make the wrap and I was the only one there, not that I am complaining.

    Chicken Cream Chop Wrap

    Been twice now since they opened a week or so ago. First time, food was excellent, my only note was the price to quantity was a little off. Second trip, they seemed to have fixed that issue. Tonight we got a shawarma bowl and chicken cream chop wrap, both were amazing and plenty of food... even in our starving state. I will be eating here often.

    Takeout only, but they let us know they may be adding tables by their grand opening! This is perfect to walk up to for our neighborhood :)

    Stopped by for the soft opening and was nothing short of impressed! The employees were super friendly and patient as I decided what to order. I ordered the beef shawarma wrap and it was so flavorful and delicious. The french fries were also amazing, I loved the seasoning! Definitely one of the best I've ever had! Can't wait to try out more options

    Pacific Pita opened up with a bang! The beef kabob plate was packed with flavor, and it was my first time trying this kind of egg roll , definitely loved every bite. So excited to have another delicious spot around and wishing them nothing but success!

    Chicken Tikka Bowl

    Stoped by today for dinner and was pleasantly surprised! They have a very extensive menu but I got the Chicken Tikka bowl and it was amazing! The chicken had so much flavor and was cooked perfectly! Can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu.

    yummy wrap and was super filling. the people were really nice and handed me a menu and some free sauces. it took about 20 mins for me to get my food but I came like a couple days after they opened and it was only like 2 people working so I didn't mind. i live walking distance so i'm fine. the prices are a bit steep but the food is good and i'll be back

    Menu, has some mistakes in the description (says beef instead of chicken etc)

The menu was a bit confusing, but I know that I like grilled veggies and Greek salad and then Ike was able to pick my protein that I wanted so that seemed easy enough. The base price with falafel or chicken Shawarma was Close to $16 but since I chose the meat, they added two dollars to my total. It took about 10 minutes for them to assemble my meal, but my veggies were cooked fresh on the stove, which was really nice. They tasted very freshly cooked just as they would as if I had cooked them myself at home. I was there about 1245 on a Monday and there were a few people there and they had some takeout orders so my order took about 10 minutes before I could walk out the door with it. They had a nice condiment bar where you could pick out some yogurt with dill sauce and then they're famous garlic yogurt sauce, as well as a jalapeño sauce And another spicy hot one that I would never try. When I got back to the jury room to eat my meal, I saw that there was a nice quantity of the fresh salad and the grilled vegetables but the meat was piled high! The employees were working efficiently and the place was spotless and orderly.

I have been eating their food since the Southpark Truck days, phenomenally delicious. Thanks!

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!

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.

Not attentive, not friendly, just kind of dismissive the whole time. We ordered a bunch of dishes and to be fair, everything we tried tasted great and was flavorful so you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The cheese knefe was a bit disappointing though. It's supposed to be crispy, but it came out mushy and kind of fell apart. The rose water reduction also made it way too sweet for my taste. Still decent overall, just not what I expected. But honestly, the service alone ruined the experience for me. I wouldn't come back. Food: 8.5/10 Service: 0/10
