That was excruciating! Anyway, their menu is short and simple. Two types of Shawarmas (chicken and beef/lamb) and two types of Burritos, at very reasonable prices. The staff is extremely friendly and the best part is, of course, the food. The meat is always juicy fresh and the sauce greatly complements the taste. I am so happy to have two of the best food trucks in town, located so close to my workplace. They are usually busy throughout the day and run out early. So it's better to call in and check before paying a late evening visit. PS: The remaining star is to motivate them to increase their portion a little bit. Such good food should not leave you craving for more due to the portion. (I know I am nitpicking here, and let this in no way discourage you, to try them out.)

i've eaten here sooo many times and here's a comprehensive review:…read more to begin, everything tastes quite fresh and the choice of ingredients for the bowls including the chick peas, jalapeños, and sauce are all excellent. the rice here is good and the chicken tastes great. let's talk price. this place can be quite expensive, especially if you are ordering something like a shawarma. personally, i wouldn't just because the amount you get for the price is quite small. for the rice platters, id say it's also a touch expensive for the size, however, there is a deal occasionally on uber eats where you can buy one get one. uber eats of course charges enough in service fees and delivery to basically charge you the full amount anyway, but if you have uber one or some other deals you could get these on an excellent deal. now, i LOVE my halal food, and there really aren't many options for good halal-cart style halal food in college station and even considering that, i find myself missing abu omar when im away from cstat. but when im here, i usually pass by the cart just because the prices are too high to justify eating regularly. i'd definitely suggest running some deals so atleast on certain days its more accessible for students. with that out of the way, id recommend trying a rice platter from abu omar. the staff is nice, the packaging is nice, and the food comes out decently fast. it tastes great and *if* you enjoy it relatively soon after getting it (i.e. your delivery didn't take a long time to arrive, if ordered) you can typically enjoy it quite warm, which is awesome. personally, ill definitely keep eating and enjoying the food from here and keep wishing there were better recurring deals or prices across the menu. taste: 9.5/10 price: 6.5/10 overall: 8/10! a solid, classic halal food cart option in cstat. one of few choices for great halal food. give them a try, but know it's a bit expensive for a student's meal.

Some days they have "large catering orders" and will post a sign up stating that they'll be opening at 11:45am instead of their regular 10:30am opening time. Their pasta is mid at best. I had the marinara pasta with spaghetti noodles and meatballs. I've had better spaghetti from Olive Garden. I should have left when I saw the girl behind the counter picking up pieces of pasta off of the counter and putting them back into the serving bowls.

Portions were larger than expected -- my chicken shawarma bowl, which I was thinking would almost be salad-like, really filled me up. Quality was good, but in my view a little sub-par compared with a Cava or some other Mediterranean places -- a little too little focus on the ingredients, which were somewhat overwhelmed by the sauce/spices. Still, pretty good and a worthwhile visit if you're in the mood and in the area. Tip: follow the parking lot signs and don't use the pickup slots unless you're picking up -- tow truck drivers are ready and waiting...

TLDR: If customized salad is your thing, go for it! But if I'm going to eat out at Polo, I'd opt…read morefor Shakesmart ($7.50 for a smoothie) or Panda Express ($12 for rice, meat, and vegetables). If I could, I'd probably give it a 3.5, but Yelp doesn't do half-stars. Salata was a good salad place but there's nothing exceptional about it. You get a large amount of salad and can customize it with various toppings, but you pay a lot ($15-$20). I just don't see the value proposition unless you're a vegetarian and gotta grab a quick meal on campus. As for the service, it's fairly standard. Very polite but it's a buffet line, not a sit-down restaurant. Polo is always fairly busy so it is usually difficult to find a table inside, especially during peak hours. However, there is usually space outside and this point is not Salata's fault. All in all, not likely to return.
