I said I would so I did! I went back to Shawarma guys today and told them what happened. No problem at all they comped another Shawarma plate for me and it was heavenly!!! Kudos to them for their customer service and kudos to the chef who served me the most delicious meal that I know they were capable of. I'd give them 10 stars now if I could! read more

Shawarma Guys - Wagyu beef shawarma plate - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

This is quality recipes with quality ingredients - it works! Tender beef, seasoned chicken, fresh produce, freshly baked bread. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. That let me substitute the fattoush salad for the rice and it is EXCELLENT! The shawarma fries are delicious! The potatoes soak up the juices from the meat and are crave-able good ! Highly recommend these! read more

Very tasty! Enjoyed the chicken shawarma bowl and falafel. Great leftovers, nice hummus. Will order again.

Very excited to finally try Shawarma Guys and got a variety of things to try. Service was friendly and it took about 10 minutes for our food to be ready. The Wagyu Beef & Chicken Shawarma plate was packed with flavor. The wagyu beef was the highlight. Very very tender. The chicken on the other-hand was a bit dry. I was hoping that both meats would actually be more juicy and moist, but between the two I definitely recommend the beef. The hummus and tabouli sides were also nice accompaniments. I also do think they need to give extra garlic sauce on top or on the side since by the end, it does get a bit more dry. We also got the Greek Wrap and substituted falafel as the protein. This wrap was HUGE and the falafel was really really good. I think this wrap was actually better than the plate. Next time I'd definitely get a wrap or pita to see how those are. The Lemon Cream Chop Fries were also a generous portion. I liked the lemony flavor overall but I felt overall the fries were just okay. It's not that creamy and so the fries end up being more dry and I found myself needing to sip water after every bite. A little more moisture in the form of cream or something else would help a lot. read more

Didn't realize that this place was NOT a restaurant (the pictures on yelp show a nonexistent restaurant), but instead it is a food truck. No problem, wanted to sit down to eat, my fault for not reading the fine print. We got the waygu shawarma and the chicken pita wrap, as well as some lemon something loaded fries. We didn't end up eating it until about a half hour later bc we had walked over there from our airbnb. The fries were just okay. Very dry even with the sauce/gravy on them. The wraps were VERY sad looking. The pita was dry and crackly and there was maaaaaybe like 1/4 of a cup of bland shredded chicken in my wrap, no obvious garlic sauce or hummus, one raw slice of tomato, raw red onions, and some gross soggy pickles. I won't go back and I honestly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

This place is so good!! Someone told me to come here and it was definitely worth it!! They park in a parking lot of a liquor store and you order and wait for your food out of a food truck. Everything was pretty tasty. I got the combo which is a beef and lamb meat with chicken as well. The only thing I wish I got more of the garlic sauce because it was so good and I didn't have enough to spread over the entire dish. The hummus and tabouli were great to select as sides. Everything was very flavorful and I'll definitely come back when I'm in the San Diego area ! read more

Shawarma Guys - Gyro and chicken mix plate - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

Not my first rodeo at Shawarma Guys, but it is the first time I've been back since I started Yelp. And luckily I think I found the menu item I've been waiting for: Greek Wrap sub chicken for falafel. (The 5stars is based on this wrap alone) Wow wow. It was huge! So juicy from all the sauces. The falafel was moist! It lasted me two meals it was so big. Now I know to go into it with someone to share it with since it's best fresh. My partner ordered the wagyu and chicken plate and the lemon chip fries (to share, but I was too full to try too much). The chicken on top was good, but the fries were a little lacking in flavor and texture. It only takes us 5 ish minutes to get home so maybe we have to eat the fries right next to the truck next time. But the star of the show is that wrap and it deserves to be seen! read more

Honestly very underwhelming compared to the reviews that brought me here. I had been wanting to try this place for a long time. The ordering process was fine and the wait wasn't too long. I ordered the beef & chicken shawarma plate, a fattoush wrap, and a side of fries. The fries were subpar, warm but not hot, nothing special. The wrap had way too much lemon juice that was overpowering and really the only thing I could taste. The best part of the plate was the hummus, but the rest wasn't anything special and I didn't end up finishing it. Not worth $40, no plans to return. read more

Came on a lucky Saturday and no lines! I lived west Asia for years so I had really high hopes for this place and expected nothing but the best but honestly I was let down. Was the food good? YES, it good but not great or something astronomical. The meat was pretty dry and salty and everything just didn't mash well. Service was really fast nevertheless read more

Shawarma Guys - Wagyu Beef Shawarma Bowl - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

I was SHOOK at how delicious this place actually is. As someone with Lebanese/Syrian/Armenian roots, I have high standards when it comes to any middle eastern food and restaurant. Most places skimp on the flavor and spices to appease the "western" palette, while others are lazy in the process of crafting the foods with the traditions that are needed to uphold quality. Shawarma Guys not only keeps that flavor profile and preparation standards, but they also elevate it to a whole new level for Californians and foodies in general. Staff was super friendly and offered great recommendations. First up - the Wagyu Shawarma Egg Rolls. WOW. WOW. WOW. The egg rolls are SO crunchy and crispy, and great sized. They are FILLED with juicy, crispy, soft flavorful shawarma meat, plenty of cheese, and the toum is perfection. Seriously, I could eat these every day. Now for the California shawarma. I had no idea this thing was the size of a baby burrito, honestly I couldn't even finish it after eating the egg rolls, but man it was so damn good I would've finished it if I wasn't on my way to an event. This was filled with chicken shawarma, fries, lettuce, pickles, rice, garlic paste, tortila. Although it was excellent, I think it would be even more excellent with the beef shawarma. The chicken was soft and flavorful, the rice was amazing, crispy fries, fresh veggies, crunchy pickles, and again that amazing garlic paste. Seriously, this place is a must on anyone's SD food visits. read more

This is embarrassing since it might as well be two years later but the only reason I am writing a review now is because I forgot the name of this place But last year me and my mum got food from this truck! I think I got the wagyu beef plate while my mum got the wagyu beef wrap and it was good I have been wanting to go back to try their other options. One day. read more

It's rare that in one bite I am held speechless but this was the case. The Greek wrap was a full salad with chicken in a tortilla, the flavor was perfect. I also had the beef eggrolls but they were so rich I was afraid I wouldn't be able to eat all four. I found the solution and opened up the wrap and added three egg rolls and rewrapped it. The combination was amazing! read more

Shawarma Guys - This is the Greek wrap with the wagyu beef egg rolls put inside by me. - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

This was our first stop on our week long trip here in San Diego. When we arrived there was a healthy line and wait especially with how many mobile/online orders the staff & kitchen were working on. We decided to go with a wagyu beef & chicken shawarma plate, as well a side of fries. The wait was reasonable given how busy it was. The star of the show was the hummus, without a doubt. Immaculate texture, flavor, and taste. The meats were good, not great. The rice was better in our opinion. The French fries were hot crispy and fresh. It also came with a side of pita which was lovely to pick up some meat/hummus/tabouleh. There were additional containers of a sweet/spicy sauce which was also phenomenal. The garlic sauce/toum on top of the meats was also really good. This truck does all of the accoutrements exceptionally. It is worth to note this is a food truck on the side of a corner market/liquor store. There are no chairs, but a couple of standing tables to sit and enjoy your food. The staff were friendly and provided good service. Overall, I would recommend stopping here and giving it a shot! read more

Came here due to the yelp top100 hype. As much as I would love to give a better review or rating. I can't. For $21 the plate I found the chicken and beef not juicy and tasty enough. I was a bit disappointed about the meal. read more

Shawarma Guys - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

Not sure why there are so many good reviews of this place... this is an extremely mediocre shawarma place that you could find anywhere around San Diego. The food is completely marinated in garlic so that it is the only flavor you can taste. The pita I had was stale and clearly store bought as well. The portions are extremely small as I probably got less than 1/16th pound of chicken in my plate. Had to go home and make more food because I was still starving after this. For a pricy $22 dollars for a meal you would expect a little better. Will not be returning and recommend going elsewhere! read more

About two weeks ago, we were driving around the Golden Hill area when I remembered seeing a YouTuber try this place. I can't recall who it was, but since we were nearby (and it was way past lunchtime), we decided to give it a go! We pulled up to a food truck with Guy Fieri's face on it--that definitely caught our attention. A young woman took our order; she was friendly and efficient, and we didn't wait long at all. We ordered the Chicken Shawarma Plate, the Chicken Shawarma Wrap, and a Baklava to share. I actually started with the Baklava (I couldn't resist!)--it looked like it was filled with pistachios and had a light green tint. It was absolutely delicious! I'm a huge Baklava fan, so it was already a winner in my book. I ended up eating both pieces before our main dishes were even ready. We took our meals to go, and the aroma in the car was heavenly. You could tell the chicken was seasoned perfectly. Chicken Shawarma Plate: Generous portions of tender chicken and flavorful yellow rice, paired with a fresh, tangy tabouli salad (so herby and refreshing!) and silky-smooth hummus that wasn't heavy at all. The soft, fresh pita rounded out the meal beautifully. Chicken Shawarma Wrap: This was my first time trying a shawarma wrap, and I was surprised by the amount of pickles inside. I love pickles, but they were a bit overpowering for me--though my husband really enjoyed it. I personally would have preferred some romaine lettuce for added crunch, especially since the fries inside were a little soggy. It just needed another textural element. Overall, we were very satisfied with our meal and will definitely be back--next time, we're trying the Wagyu Shawarma! read more

Went to this place with very high hopes. The chicken shawarma pita and falafel pita along with baklava. None of these items were very good compared to shawarma we have tried around the country. The baklava was very dry and not flaky. read more

Tried the Wagyu Beef Shawarma Plate the other day. I had really high expectations due to the other reviews. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but not something I would often crave for. Wished they drizzled more of their signature garlic paste on the meat. Service was super quick. We got our order within 5 mins. If I were to return I would just take it back to my car and eat it in the car or take it home to eat. Total 3.5 stars. read more

Was very disappointed last night 2/22. Went there and ordered a small fattoush salad and didn't receive any dressing on it or with it. Then ordered the beef and chicken scwarma plate and the meat and rice was cold and so was the pita. No a great experience. Been there before and was great. Spent $40 and not worth it. Very disappointed! read more

Talked with the manager, got a single falafel with garlic . It was wonderful! The best I've had since I left Philadelphia. I have the app and plan to use it! The prices are very reasonable for what you are getting; which is the best by far, cooked in the most proper manner and all great. Thank you for a taste of real MidEast cooking - love it.

We ordered 2 Pita Shawarmas and one Chicken Shawarma fries. One Pita Shawarma was the Wagyu Beef and the other was the Chicken Shawarma. The Wagyu was dry, overcooked and the only flavor we experienced was Cumin. Perhaps this Wagyu beef had sat in a warmer for a very long time after having been cooked, and then reheated causing it to be even worse, before placing it into the pita and served. For Wagyu, a beef with a high fat ratio to be dry, means that it had sat cooked for a very long time, and then over cooked by reheating it prior to serving. It was overly flavored with Cumin, a spice that I love, but in this case the amount overwhelmed the delicacy of the Wagyu, providing no taste other than the texture of dry overcooked meat and that of Cumin. The chicken was even worse. It was so overcooked and dry, that it actually had both a chewy and crumbling texture at the same time, in various parts of a bite, and had little to no taste other than that of sulfur that comes from either low quality chicken and/or overcooking same. It was so dry that we couldn't even finish eating the first half of it. Therefore, both of our Pita Shawarmas were terrible and less than edible, and certainly not anywhere near the quality or taste of the other raving reviews. Also, please note, we are middle-eastern and have eaten Shawarma, all of our lives. One positive note was the Chicken Shawarma fries. They had the same dry, over-cooked and crumbly chicken as a topping, but the fries themselves and the Toum sauce saved the day, helping hide the flaws and making it possible to consume the less-than-edible chicken, which without the fries and the Toum sauce, remained inedible. We placed our order at 2pm, and it appears that instead of receiving freshly slicked and cooked shawarma meats, we got the left over, dried out remnants of lunch. This isn't acceptable as we didn't buy "discounted" Shawarma, and we were expecting what other reviewers had experienced. Unfortunately, we would not recommend Shawarma Guys to anyone, let alone anyone that is middle-eastern and knows what Shawarma is relative to quality and taste. I understand the owner is proud of his food and business, and am confident this is not the quality he wishes to serve. But, nevertheless, our review is what we experienced -- to our great disappointment. We paid around $50, and that was a waste. read more

what we ordered | wagyu beef & chicken shawarma plate taste | good portion of meat. flavor was good. the veggie side and hummus was yummy as well. this had a drizzle of their garlic paste over the meat which gave the meat some additional flavor. service | server was nice parking | street notes | definitely check this out if you're in the south park area. they are a food truck close to grape street. read more

Ordered the Greek side salad and 2 chicken plates. The rice was soft and flavorful, chicken tender and full of spice, the hummus is smooth and the Tabbouleh was fresh and lemony. Absolutely loved it, however for the portion sizes are small considering the price. ~$20 is a lot. Wish the platter was more full. But the flavor is there. read more

This place is incredibly mediocre. I do not understand the amount of praise. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming that maybe we went when it was busy, but there was only two other people standing with us. I got the chicken shawarma and the chicken was flavorless, the pita was stale, the only redeeming quality were the pickles and spicy sauce. We also got the Chicken Shawarma plate and we got an incredibly small amount of chicken. I saw this place on several reviews of the best food in San Diego, maybe the list is outdated. For 30 dollars this was not worth it. read more

Do you like your shawarma built skinny? Do you like it so dry that it requires electrolytes to quench your thirst? Then this is the place for you. As an added bonus, I decided to order this on uber eats, so the cost was not reflective of the food I received. Not one of the better shawarmas I've ever had, that's for certain read more

Total spur of the moment, but super happy to have stopped by. Got the waygu egg rolls, FIRE! Also the chicken shawarma wrap, BOMB! Totally glad I saw the Iraqi salad, so fresh and bursting with flavor. I added it to my wrap, next level elevation for sure. BYOD or there is a store like 10 feet away. I can not wait to go back.... I will be trying the lemon cream chopped fries and the chicken cream chop plate. JP read more

Shawarma guys was fire man. Came from out of state and their plates are HUGE! Overall great food and really helpful staff!

I was in South Park and drove by The Shawarma Guys food truck. This was one of the first places that I remember eating at when I moved to San Diego because they had a Yelp Elite event here. You order at the outdoor cash register and wait for your order. I got the chicken shawarma plate. Pros: -delicious food -large portion sizes. This could probably be multiple meals for some Cons: -I didn't see seating here, but there were two stand up tables by their truck if you wanted to eat food there Overall, happy I came back. read more

It's a food truck next to a liquor store, so thankfully there was ample parking. I came 30 minutes before closing and was able to get my food within 5 minutes, so no complaints! Service was quick, employees seem friendly, but unfortunate that there wasn't any space to sit and eat. Seems more like a to go place. We ordered the chicken and beef plate and it was delicious! I will need to ask for an extra side of the garlic sauce next time! read more

Shawarma Guys - Lemon Cream Chop Fries Wagyu Beef Shawarma Egg Rolls (2pcs) Wagyu Beef Shawarma Pita - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

Been wanting to try this place for awhile. Monday night crew was friendly and fast! Food was out in about 5 minutes. I got a pita wrap, and friends got plates. The plates were the way to go. For me, the pita wasn't what I expected - thin and a bit dry/crispy in places. However the meat was tasty, as was the tabouleh. Street parking in the neighborhood is easy enough. There was a standing table, but expect to take food elsewhere (two parks within 5 min drive are great options). read more

I love their food but I suggest them to carefully pack the food. I had it delivered and it was so soggy. Salad dressing should be in the side and if you throw things on the top of the salad it will make it soggy too. read more

Disappointed this time around. Got the fatoush chicken wrap and beef egg rolls. 1st half of wrap was way too salty! Between the heavy sumac and salty salad dressing, I was thirsty all afternoon! Putting on some chili sauce, the salt bomb was every worse! I much prefer some garlic paste, tahini, and salad dressing light on salt. Oasis grill in SF has the best sauce combination. The wagyu beef egg rolls sounded interesting, but were way too heavy. I thought I was biting into a stick of butter! Definitely skip them. I'm gonna try the normal shawarma wrap next time and hope it restore my faith in these guys. read more
