    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 Tikka Bowl

    Flavor was top tier ! We were finally able to make our way out to this spot. Me and my buddies were starving. We each had 2 eggs rolls. 1 beef and 1 1cheese. To me the cheese was better. We each got a half of a kabob wrap and make it crispy. It was delicious my favorite item on the menu ! We shared Pacifica fries. Half beef half chicken the shawarma was juicy. I took a chicken tikka bowl to go when I got home it was still yummy. Lots of flavor on the chicken and the hummus was still fresh. They even have dessert we all got a pistachio ice cream. Definitely a must try. They have dinning tables in the front also! Coming back again !

    My friend and I visited Pacific Pita for lunch the other day. We split a chicken Shawarma wrap with fries and a falafel bowl. We also tried a side of baba ghanoush and some baklava. Kind owner gave us some pistachio ice cream to go with the dessert. Everything was fantastic. I especially appreciated the freshness of the tabouli in the falafel bowl, and the smoky deliciousness of the baba ghanoush. We will be back.

    Chicken Cream Chop Wrap
    Will T.

    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

    Pistachio ice cream!

    This new spot is so delicious! Generous portions, great flavors, friendly staff! The pistachio ice cream is so good! We will definitely be back!

However, the Grilled Kofte (Turkish Meatballs) stood out above the rest, and next time I'd probably just get these alone. Would have been nice if it came with a quick explanation of what each thing was, since it was a bit hard to know what was what right off the bat, but that's just a small criticism. There was one meat that I didn't like as much, but wasn't sure which it was. 4/5 Pistachio Espresso Martini - This was amazing. 5/5 Baklava with ice cream - This was just okay. 3/5 Really enjoyed the meal I had here with my wife and sister-in-law, and would totally come back for food and cocktails!

I thought maybe I'll get it without the pickles next time. However, after eating I got an unexpected headache that usually comes from ingestion of MSG. The fries were tasty... maybe there was MSG in those? Not sure. I've honestly had much better phenomenal shawarma in San Joes CA. I have yet to find a great Shawarma here in San Diego. Feel free to recommend.

I love trying new foods so will have to come back with more friends and try other things on the menu. The downside of this place was being seated on the right side of the restaurant near the carry out section. This was the pit of despair. I noticed that most of the staff goes to the other end first, and as a result 4 tables got seated after us and all of them had food on their table before we managed to flag one of the staff. It was definitely busy in there but he replied that he was simply going in order, but apparently order or left side to right side instead of arrival. I recommend trying to get seated on the side w the stained glass windows for better service. Other than that, the experience overall was pleasant.

Or, if you've ever been deployed, it'll remind you of those moments overseas when you miss everything back home, but for a little while, an incredible meal makes everything feel okay. Do yourself a favor and give this joint a try. You won't regret it.
