They opened up only a few weeks back so the spot is still relatively new to San Antonio, but this isn't the owner's first food truck! Turns out he owned New York Grill Express, a food truck I used to go to all the time near my house! Service is typically pretty fast, maybe 15 mins, which is typical for middle eastern food trucks! My favorite item here would have to be their mouthwatering chicken tenders. I just haven't had anything like it, especially with their special sauce! Definitely a must try while you're ordering from here! They're open late & right now they're parked alongside Sea Island Shrimp House off of I-10, but check out their page to stay up to date with wherever they'll be next! It's a food truck in a parking lot with no seating, which makes it a takeaway spot for sure!

I don't believe the overall experience warrants more than two stars…read more I kept seeing these amazing photos posted by Shawarmatee on social media, so we decided to drive out to their food truck on Friday evening. The truck is parked in the Shell gas station on the corner of Babcock and Wurzbach. There's space for about 5 or 6 cars on the side of the food truck. The menu is prominently displayed, and the area around looks as clean as one would expect a gas station parking lot to be. The gentleman taking orders and packaging the food was polite enough. I'm not one for overly effusive or disingenuous customer service. As long as you're not a jerk and the food and price are right, I can tolerate a bland interaction. We asked for details about a couple of menu items, but he kind of nodded while never answering the questions. We ordered the mix shawarma plate, two Arabi wraps, and an order of falafel, as well as a can of Coke, bottles of water, and a mango drink. It took about 15 minutes for our order to be ready, and everything was hot and well-packaged. He even threw in some extra tahini and garlic sauces (or what he said was garlic and tahini sauce). My kids said the Arabi wraps were fine. They didn't think the sauce had any garlic flavor whatsoever, and the tahini tasted more of oil than anything else. My husband and I both agreed that the beef included on our mixed shawarma plates tasted off. There's a sweetness that develops as red meat begins to turn, and that's the unpleasant flavor we detected when we ate our plates. The chicken, as many other Yelpers have pointed out, was beyond dry. It lacked seasoning and was throat-scratchingly dry. The salad was uninspired and lazy, and the rice was adequate. The falafel was broken and burned in areas, but had an overall good flavor and almost fluffy texture. I had to agree with the kids that the garlic sauce tasted more like mayo. We didn't finish our food and ended up going to an Indian food truck down the street to fill our stomachs. I feel bad writing this because this is an elderly gentleman, but I also don't think the feedback on the chicken and the quality of food is being addressed. We want to go out and feel we're getting our money, gas, and time's worth, and Shawarmatee failed to deliver on that. Instead, it feels like a cash grab from unsuspecting diners.

Before we even got to the counter, the owner was greeting us and asked if we'd like to sample one of their falafel. I declined because I really didn't want them to lose product if I ended up passing on them. We DID end up ordering two Chicken Shawarma Sandwiches, one with fries, and a Chicken Shawarma Plate with an order of 4 falafel. The only bad thing I can say about any of these menu items is that I have to drive to far to get them again. Thankfully, they have wheels so I'm signing up for their alerts so I can catch them when they're closer to my part of town. I can't imagine anyone complaining about a lack of flavor or quality. As someone who is very particular about flavor, I had ZERO complaints. The tzatziki was garlicky and lemony, as it should be. The hummus was fluffy, yet creamy with a twang from the garlic, tahini, and olive oil drizzle. The chicken was truly treated with respect and love as the flavor from the marinade and grill revealed. It was tender and crispy on the edges, which is the hallmark of a well-treated piece of grilled meat. The rice was tender and flavorful as well. The namesake falafel were some of the best I've had, and I've lived in NYC and the DMV, where falafel are like taken very seriously. The kind owner handed a paper boat with two of them drizzled in a tahini sauce and said "For you." After one bite, I was so glad I ordered a side of them. They had a shattery-crisp exterior and a bright green, fluffy interior that tasted of herby mint, creamy chickpeas, and bold garlic. I was not expecting such a delicious falafel from a food truck parked outside of a military hospital, but, you can't choose a food truck by it's vinyl wrapping. I'd risk a traffic ticket waving them down if I saw them driving down 1604. This is a veteran owned and operated business. I can't wait until they're on my side of town.

I did not receive the stellar service others seemed to have gotten. I know it's much harder in a food truck, so based just on the food, I give this place 4/5 stars. The gyro plate itself was tasty enough, but the rice I received was dry. Don't think I'll come back here. For what it's worth, Halal Bros in Austin is my personal gold standard for god-tier gyro.

The marquee with the sample salad bowls and wraps changed very fast so I couldn't figure out which one I wanted so I made my own bowl and I cannot be trusted cause I wanted everything in the bowl. Another customer recommended the chicken however I'm anemic so I had the beef But next time I will try the chicken.

The waiter made a valiant effort at our table, but my friend does not hear well, he was soft spoken, and the restaurant is full of hard surfaces and therefore noisy.
