Outside

The kebab shop is a solid meal. We always order the bowls and I feel it's pretty healthy. This is the closest to a salad that I would order. The bowls are often stacked to the top and when you order online, you could select a lot of options to put inside. Weoften order the meal which comes with two bowls and two side sides for a decent price. The order is always ready within 10 minutes when I place it. Inside is decent. It has tables, but we have only had takeout. Be sure though to check your takeout order though. They always forget the sauces and utensils.

Chicken tandoori and chicken kabob skewers
Maxine W.

All of our items were delicious and full of flavor, but the gyro in the rice bowl contained some small pieces of bone. I had to spit out the bones several times while eating. The portion size was smaller than I expected, but the flavor was fantastic! There were plenty of parking spaces available outside!

Alexis amazing service . Took my order over the phone and was told food will take 15 minutes due to ordering my favorite grilled chicken from this place. Always satisfying and quality food highly recommend . Not my first and not my last review for this location keep up the great work

Pita Chips
James D.

We have been here many times and never had a complaint but this evening was different. My wife order 3 wraps and a side of pita chips. A 5 minute drive home and the wraps were all cold. The paper bag containing the pita chips was almost empty with about 6 chips on the bottom of the bag. The chips were chewy, not even crispy but to charge for 6 small triangular chips is ridiculous. A completely unsatisfactory meal. If The Kabob Shop is going to charge these prices, they should prepare the food properly. The wraps were wrapped in foil so definitely should not have been cold after a 5 minute drive. They must have been sitting out before they were wrapped. And the side of pita chips? Come on, this is just ridiculous that you would charge for this. This was our last time to The Kabob Shop. Too many other places with great service, quality and quantity of food for the money spent.

Say hi to the crew, would ya!?

Kevin and his crew definitely took care of us today! Surrounded by a number of different dining options at the Otay Ranch mall, this Kebab Shop really stands out for it's excellent customer service and super fresh ingredients. Unlike some other Kebab Shops, Kevin makes all of his salads fresh every single day. Combine all of that with their succulent, piping-hot meats and their delicious sauces, and BOOM, flavor overload. The steak is good, but the carved chicken is definitely my favorite. I usually get the plate of carved chicken with just a plain wrap on the side. I then make my own wrap with all 3 the sauces and the chicken. Enjoy!!! Thanks to Kevin for the superb hospitality, and excellent food! See you soon! Oh while you're at it, stop by Best Buy and cop somethin'...lol ..I'm out!

Lamb & beef burrito with Greek salad (no cheese)
Jamie S.

Such an amazing experience!! I have never been here before , I'm hesitant trying new places because I have a dairy allergy. Kevin helped me at the register. I explain my allergy and he told me exactly what I should and shouldn't order (this is extremely hard to find a restaurant where they know what contains dairy and what doesn't. I was very impressed.) I made a mistake on my order and thought I ordered a gyro, but I am so happy with what I got because I never would have ever ordered a gyro burrito, but it is probably one of the best things I've ever had! I work next-door. This is definitely gonna be a regular spot. The atmosphere is great Kevin's attitude and helpfulness was amazing. Highly recommend.

Cute wall mural and seating
Taura G.

This was our first time visiting the Otay Ranch Mall Kebab Shop location. It is a very nicely designed location, it's interior is very cool. There is a lot of space here. Each of the seating areas are clean and well maintained. You immediately will notice a natural wood trellis beam in the dining area, super tasteful. The woman who took our order was very customer service oriented. We ordered: a chicken kebab wrap cut in half to share l, an order of fries to share, and 2 fountain drinks. When we went to get our order at the counter and they made an extra beef kebab bowl so they gave that to us as well; pretty cool! The food was prepared well here. I appreciated that they maintained their condiment station and fountain drink area well while we dined. I will certainly return. Great food, awesome dining atmosphere, wonderful staff, and cool design vibe at this location.

Thank you so much for donating this delicious meal to celebrate my birthday! everything was extremely good!!!!! I appreciate it with all my heart

Mixed Protein Wrap
Monroe H.

A staple for me! The food always tastes great, the service is quick and tidy and the ambiance is clean and slick. A great place to stop while on the go.

Megan D.

Samara and Mickel represent this company with the highest level of care! Not only they welcome you with a genuine smile, but they prepare your order with ultimate attention to detail and love. Food here is comfort in the eyes of my family & I. Healthy, filling, delicious and unlike any other in our area! (We normally don't get fries, we get their amazing salad, but it was just one of those days lol) Thanks again for another great meal! Big shout out to the Otay Ranch location! The ambiance is great too!! Inside & outside!

Any gluten free options?

Yes! I just posted a photo with their allergy chart. Only the bread, lamb diner and beef meatballs contain wheat. Everything else is 👍

Hello, I am planning to eat lunch with my family are you open to be seated inside or do you have an outdoor patio to seat, please advise thanks?

Last year in November 2021, indoor seating was available, and there are also a few small tables outside where you can enjoy your meal.

What's the vegan option?

Tabouli, hummus and pita

You know what. This place is not for me…read more I am not accustomed to lamb and I reached my limit half way through. But culinary technique. Top notch. Their lamb, I tried lean meat, ribs, cabesa. Great texture, great flavor. If you solely focus on the meat, I felt the chef here knows exactly what they are doing. So if you love lamb meat, this place is great.

The best thing I can say about the food at Aqui es Texcoco is that it won't kill you…read more If you have to go there, like, if you promised someone you love that you'd take them wherever they wanted to go for their birthday and they picked Aqui es Texcoco, and if you know anything about the types of foods they serve at the place, you'll be disappointed. Consomé isn't supposed to be a bland, thin cup of murky water, but that's what you'll get, and though some of the side dishes are decent - they know their way around a huitlacoche quesadilla, and their cheese on a grill is a neat trick - who picks a restaurant based on it's afterthoughts? As for the main attractions: you'll find better barbacoa and mixiote in City Heights, at either El Borrego or La Barbacoa Autentica De Borrego. Period. Aqui es Texcoco's success is not due to a strong, capable kitchen, but instead to its strategic selection of odd and hard-to-find menu items, which is simply a marketing ploy; and to the publicity it has gained from exposure via the Food Channel and other media outlets, which is a corrupting influence on any dining establishment. Save your time and money. Go somewhere you never heard of, and enjoy a meal cooked by people who understand that the food they serve, and not they, themselves, is the reason people come to their restaurant.

We heard about Shawarma guys from YT featuring best food spots in San Diego. We went to their South…read morePark branch. We were initially aiming for the crispy shawarma however only Mira Mesa and La Mesa does it. So I guess that's next on our list! The wraps were unexpectedly big! This is probably the biggest wrap I ever had! Generous with meat and veggies. Their wagyu egg rolls are definitely must have! Falafel fries is really good too! All of these perfectly paired with their garlic sauces. My favorite is spicy lemon garlic! The staff are very knowledgeable about their menu. It's a food truck set up and there's mini standing tables for alfresco dining. SG was definitely lived up to the title #1 restaurant in the country on Yelp!

Not really an ambience since there's not much as far as a dining room. There are a couple of cocktail tables where you could eat. After ordering online at 20:20pm, my estimated pick up time was 8:39pm and got the order at 9:03pm. The cashier informed me their chicken is taking a while and added extra time to the wait. It probably would've been faster if they weren't so backed up. I ordered the Wagyu beef and chicken shawarma plate for me and my wife to share. I added 3 falafels and pita bread on top of it. The food was still fresh when I got home 15 mins later. Everything was good and just enough for us two. Also, I'm not sure why there's a range of where they may be located on Yelp since this is just a food truck that seems to be permanent at this location.

Our second experience we got the chicken shawarma Brian's way. Everything was cooked well, but I guess although I like pickles, I'm not as big a fan of Mediterranean pickles. The first bite or two were actually good, but subsequent bites the pickle tanginess was overwhelming and just not so pleasant as I finished it. 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.

Ropa Vieja: shredded braised beef with peppers onions and tomato- the seasoning is uniquely Cuban and fantastic- a comfort food favorite! The plate comes with a side salad and maduros- caramelized fried ripe bananas and white rice and black beans- generous portions of everything. 2. Arroz con pollo: chicken and rice exists in almost every culture, but the Cuban version is the one I would choose first any day. This was the boys fav. The dinner plate also comes with maduros and salad. 3. Papas rellenas- "potato balls" on the menu- stuffed mashed potato spheres with seasoned ground beef then lightly breaded and deep fried for a perfect crispy coat- excellent! They have 3 varieties and we tried the spicy chicken and the ground beef- both were delicious! 4. Croquetas: deep fried breaded ground ham rolls. Decadent and perfectly crispy outside and velvety inside. These were my hardest craving when I was pregnant. Love them! 5. Guava pastries- sweet with a little hint of tartness- wrapped in puff pastry. It was too late in the day for me to order coffee but I will have to make a cup of Bustelo tomorrow morning to go with these. We were too full to eat them today! 6. Iron Beer: our fav soda! Even sweeter than coke- shocking, lol! I also tried the kola champagna- a Puerto Rican staple but imo, IronBeer wins. I would buy them for the boys a couple times a year whenever I stumbled upon a Caribbean market that stocked them and they've been fans for life. We loved our meal and service was excellent but just know it's an informal cafe and they mostly serve food to go. So not much atmosphere in this worn strip mall. There are 3 small cafe style tables but you will need to order at the counter. Plenty of parking and easy to find.

The menu was a bit confusing, but I know that I like grilled veggies and Greek salad and then Ike was able to pick my protein that I wanted so that seemed easy enough. The base price with falafel or chicken Shawarma was Close to $16 but since I chose the meat, they added two dollars to my total. It took about 10 minutes for them to assemble my meal, but my veggies were cooked fresh on the stove, which was really nice. They tasted very freshly cooked just as they would as if I had cooked them myself at home. I was there about 1245 on a Monday and there were a few people there and they had some takeout orders so my order took about 10 minutes before I could walk out the door with it. They had a nice condiment bar where you could pick out some yogurt with dill sauce and then they're famous garlic yogurt sauce, as well as a jalapeño sauce And another spicy hot one that I would never try. When I got back to the jury room to eat my meal, I saw that there was a nice quantity of the fresh salad and the grilled vegetables but the meat was piled high! The employees were working efficiently and the place was spotless and orderly.
