    12 BEEF SHAWARMA WRAP
    Charmese K.

    I'm always honest when I write any of my reviews. This one that was a little bit hard for me. I always see it on social media and everyone always talking about it. Now keep in mind we went on a Saturday in the afternoon. We were the only people there. I was surprised to find out the place opens till 3:30 in the morning!! The place can use a little bit of extra cleaning on the tables and the floors. The food is really good! I feel like it's overpriced, that's just my opinion. The chicken Shawarma salad is pretty big no lie! It was really good. I wish they had it in a different kind of container where it wasn't so flimsy. A can of soda was $3.25. Just a can! No cup no ice the soda was cold though. It was nice to see the Meat cut outside. Will I be back probably not. I hated seating there listening to the music that was pretty religious. I mean, you can keep the same Middle Eastern music, but not religious. It kills the vibe. Anyhow, check it out for yourself.

    Great shawerma but be prepared to wait! The shawerma here is great and halal and its usually always busy for a reason. I usually get the chicken loca and I try getting the 24 inch since its a better value, but that leads me to price where this place is quite pricey for a shawerma wrap. The flavors are great tho, the chicken is perfectly cooked and the wrap was perfectly made.

    Awful, miserable peasant portions

    Food here was awful! Service is non existant. Theres a self serve kiosk that doesn't really explain what your dish comes with, you can only add what you don't want. It's just terrible. Menu is confusing. Extremely overpriced for what you receive. There's no hummus or falafel or anything that you'd expect from a standard typical Mediterranean food place. The soggy fries were terrible. The place was empty but our two plates still took 20 minutes to come out. There was a homeless guy asking for food and whoever was in the kitchen seemed more attentive and gave him food before ours. I wouldn't recomend eating here.

    My cousin has been talking about this place and we finally tried it out. I decided to get the 24" chicken loca/beef combo plate. The combo plate comes with fries, garlic sauce, mixed pickled veggies and coleslaw. I really liked their boom sauce the most. As for the wrap, I would get the chicken again. The beef was also flavorful but I preferred the chicken. I wish their garlic sauce was more garlicky since it was a bit bland for my liking. My cousin also got the boom boom cocktail. I think the base is a banana smoothie since that's what it tasted to me. I loved the fruit toppings it came with aong with the nuts and cream. The cocktail was not too sweet and everythign paired well. The worker also gave my nephew a sample of their fruit punch which was yummy. Overall, the food was good, service was great and there's plenty of seating inside.

    Shawarma Loco in Anaheim is absolutely worth the hype -- and worth the drive from LA. We made the trip just to try it, and it did not disappoint. The shawarma is insanely good: juicy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with authentic flavor you can't find just anywhere. The hospitality is just as impressive. The staff treats you like family the moment you walk in, and the service is fast, warm, and consistent. The portions are generous, everything tastes fresh, and the place has a clean and welcoming vibe. If you're looking for real, flavorful Middle Eastern food, Shawarma Loco is the spot. We drove from LA and would gladly do it again. Five stars all the way!

    Chicken Shawarma on coal. Something else

    I am a shawarma fanatic and this the best I ever had. The owner is a classy professional, food is remarkable and quality to die for.

    Shawarma late night vibes. Definitely one of those places you hit up after a night painting the town. The shawarmas are huge!! The loca sauce gives it a kick and makes every last bite worth it. Although, I do have to say that chicken is a little dry. Was expecting something a little more on juicy and tender side. It was still tasty but, at times chewing on the chicken made it seem like it sitting for a little longer then it is suppose to, I definitely want to come back and hope to get a better chewing experience. Overall though, the service was good and that sauce was on point.

    The service was amazing he explained the different sauces and juices which were amazing, the shawarmas were very very filling and the combo is a great deal, finally the artwork made siting inside waiting for our food worth it during our short wait we listened to the vibrant music and gazed upon the artwork that fit the vibe perfectly. I would give them a higher rating if I could

    Really good shawerma. It's probably the closest you can get to authentic Jordanian shawerma.

Whenever I have friends visiting…read morefrom out of town and they ask for a place that is uniquely Orange County--something they can't get anywhere else--this is one of my go-to spots. The traditional baguette is exactly how a banh mi should be: crispy on the outside, yet soft and fluffy on the inside. The pork is thick, perfectly crispy, juicy, and never dry. They also add just the right amount of pickled carrot and daikon, creating the perfect balance of flavors and textures. My biggest tip: eat it fresh! That's when it's at its absolute best. Thankfully, they've opened additional locations over the years, so the wait isn't quite as bad as it used to be. I usually order ahead online, which makes things even easier. This location is in a small shopping strip with plenty of parking, so I almost always find a spot. It's easy to get in and out, which is a huge plus. I haven't explored much beyond the banh mi because I always end up ordering my favorite every single time. I wasn't personally a fan of the Vietnamese iced coffee since it was a bit too thick for my taste, but that's just my preference. Overall, this place never disappoints. If you're looking for an iconic Orange County spot that locals love, this is it.

I did try the Lemongrass Beef, but it wasn't my favorite. I was expecting sliced beef, but it's made with ground beef instead, which wasn't what I had in mind. My only suggestion would be to lightly toast or warm the bread before serving. I think it would add a nice crunch and take the sandwiches to the next level. Overall, it's a solid sandwich shop with fresh ingredients, fair prices, and reliable quality. If you're looking for a satisfying bánh mì in the area, this place is definitely worth checking out. Not much to say on service because I ordered it through the drive-through and it was efficient enough

They are in a small strip mall next to a laundromat and nail salon and now there's a coffee place as well. There's outdoor seating that's gated, a long the west side of the building. I used to work in the area and we would order from Walker's almost 3 to 5 times a week for various meeting and training's so I'm a Walker's regular. I'm happy to report the same crew still works there and remembers me so it's great to know the consistency and quality are still there! I would definitely recommend getting a sandwich here versus a chain sandwich shop.
