    Chaplee Kebab with Rice
    Greg G.

    Watani Spot food truck is parked in a large lot in Millbrae/Burlingame. (At time of writing, the Google Maps address was current.) I'd imagine it's popular with Uber drivers since it's close to the airport and SPOILER ALERT: it's effin' delicious. Unfortunately everything we ordered (especially beef) was out of stock, which was surprising since it was only 6pm. We pivoted to a chicken kebab wrap and chaplee kebab with rice instead and waited for the order to cook Both dishes were SO tasty, well-seasoned, and generously filled. Comfort food done right, I really enjoyed the meal. The service was also very friendly and welcoming, with who I think was the owner doing his best to make sure we liked the food. Not only would I come back, I'm looking forward to it!

    Do you like trying different food? This food truck is one of the most delicious food truck I have ever been to in the Bay Area personally in my opinion the food is different compared to what you eat in the Bay Area. It is very rare in my opinion I met the owner the day. I ordered some food here. I can't remember his name, but he was super kind and helpful. He is a very humble guy. The food tasted so delicious. It was fresh and had a lot of flavor. Honestly, a very different and unique type of meal. I absolutely love it and I highly recommend this place!! he used to be at a Shell gas station but now he is in a parking lot. The portions are so huge here too!! you get your moneys worth over here. I definitely love coming here and will always highly recommend this place and I will always come back.

    Beef Tikka Kabob With Rice

    Second time trying this food truck since it's close to work. We had chicken and beef tikka served with rice, salad, garbanzo and bread. The green sauce elevates the flavor too that's why we ask for extra Me and my team enjoyed the food and service is friendly. This is located in parking lot.

    the food was great. the chicken and beef combo are overflowing with savory rice and tasty salad , side chicken with corn was also good.

    Amazing Afghan food and great service! Watani Spot is a true hidden gem. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The kabobs are juicy, the rice is perfectly cooked, and everything tastes authentic and well-seasoned. Portions are generous and definitely worth it. Abdullah, the owner, is very friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. If you're looking for high-quality halal Afghan food with great flavor, this place is a must-try.

    Ordered from grubhub, and the order was ready on time for pickup. The food is pretty good. I got Supreme Watani Wrap which was delicious. Loved it. My wife was also satisfied with Kabuli Pulao. The chicken was a bit spacy. Tikka kabab with rice was also very good. Overall, very happy with food quality here and will definitely order again.

    Pacha palow or bone narrow they serve it on Sundays only this is must must try

    If you're looking for the best and super fresh food to the point that they even peel potato for their fries this is the spot it's worth all the penny and all the wait

    Best food truck food I have ever had!!! Reminds me of the old hole in the wall DeAfghanan. Owner is a gentleman!

    The chicken and steak are so tender and amazing!

    It's tucked away but once you find this place it is a freaking GEM!! So good. Definitely going back again.

    Flavor bomb in your mouth... YES PLEASE! My husband is Afghan so I'm very well acquainted with authentic homemade Afghan food taste and this food truck is amazing especially with their Kabob plates! We got the mixed combo kabob plate and The rice was perfectly seasoned and the meat; OMG! The beef was juicy and so tender and the chicken was no less! The secret chutney sauce is to die for especially with it smothered all over the chicken. Then they had this amazing garbanzo bean stew that's typically topped on the rice and that was absolutely delicious. I wish I would've taken a picture of the plate before we emptied it into our bellies. Portions are very generous and price is excellent. We also got the watani wrap and gee whiz it is a huge sandwich and the flavors mesh oh so perfectly. The wrap can for sure feed 2 people easily. This is my new go to spot! I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Definitely worth it!

    I don't know how this place has less than 5 stars. Their food is beyond amazing, probably the freshest tasting food truck I've been to in a while. Service, always friendly and happy whenever I come by. I've tried Kabuli Palao w/ lamb...meat slides off the bone! Their Chaplee kabob with rice is my go-to. Their fries...fresh! Not your store bought pre-cut chemical GMO etc tasting fries. These are like In-N-Out, fresh lol. They usually have new weekly specials, I look forward to these. Don't listen to the other reviews..come try it. Honestly my favorite food truck right now.

    Kabob Combination W/ Rice
    Brad G.

    Came across this place while getting gas at the Shell station and am SO GLAD I gave it a try. The beef was the standout for me, melts in your mouth and has immense flavor! Whatever they are using for the marinade is working very well. Chicken was just as tasty. I think the side of beans was a standout as well, so don't sleep on this. Large portion of rice cooked perfectly which I could not finish because I was too full. 10/10 would come back.

    10/10 El Ranchito…read moretaco truck is next-level amazing. I stopped by for three tacos--chicken, pastor, and carnitas--and they were so good I immediately went back for more this time dealers choice and he gave me his favorite pastor and the shredded beef. That alone should tell you everything. The quality of the food is outstanding. The meat is tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, yet somehow not heavy at all. Zero excess fat (which is a huge pet peeve of mine), just clean, fresh, perfectly cooked meat. Every bite tasted intentional and made with care. The owner/chef, Z, is one of the kindest and most compassionate people you'll meet. You can genuinely tell how much love he puts into his food. He even took the time to ask how much I enjoyed everything, which says a lot. I'll absolutely be back--and if I don't see the truck, I'm calling the number and tracking him down. The truck itself was spotless and well stocked with chips, drinks, peanuts, and treats. I also noticed he offers burrito bowls (so cool) and an unbeatable meal deal: 2 tacos with rice and beans for $10.... You truly can't beat that. Thank you, Z, for an unforgettable Taco Tuesday. The bar has officially been set very high.

    The lights and the huge food truck drew me in bookmark this. So I finally had time to come here a…read morefew weeks ago to satisfy a late night taqueria craving. My wife got the super burrito and I decided on the super quesadilla. There was about 3-4 people in front of me waiting for food. Waited for about 5 minutes before I got my food. After the drive home, my food was still hot as if it was just served. Chips still crunchy and salsa still chilled. My super quesadilla had really good taste and flavor, but the portion for me just didn't do it. Looked small, felt small and weighted much less compared to my wife's super burrito. The outside slices held together but the middle slices fell apart fast despite using Dos manos (two hands). Basically same price as the super burrito but less food. The super burrito however, this is one of the better tasting burrito's I've had. Cheesy, flexible but crunchy tortilla, flavorful carne asada. Freshness from the pico de gallo, slight kick from the salsa. Overall just a really good burrito. Highly recommend. I definitely will try other things on their menu next time. The question I always ask myself after trying a new place is "would I come back here?". For the super quesadilla, no. For the burrito and to try other things, definitely.

    I'll be honest--I never liked Mexican food, even when I lived in the Mission in SF. But this food…read moretruck's quesabirria completely changed my mind. The beef is unbelievably juicy, and the consommé is so rich and flavorful that I always end up drinking the leftover dip like soup. It's that good! Even my 7-year-old picky-eater can eat three of these in one sitting! The truck used to park by Safeway in Millbrae but moved because of construction. One day I was seriously craving their birria, so I drove up and down El Camino until I finally found them in San Bruno, about half a block from the Arco gas station near Santa Lucia Avenue. (Address on Yelp is correct. Google Maps is wrong.) Totally worth the hunt!

They say they take cash only, but if you're a cop or you're Filipino they'll let you pay with card smh. They also have food that's already made for you to grab but do not take that as they cooked it early in the morning and been sitting their for hours

    Horrible experience. I am reviewing this several months after my experience with this food truck…read more I'll be honest, I never got to taste their food. I wanted to, I was excited. You see, I had just started working here at SFO when I heard about the FILIPINO food truck parked just outside the departures area. I went to the location during lunch to order. I was disappointed when I found out that they only took cash. That wasn't the problem. The problem was how cold the lady working at the order window was. She basically non-verbally shrugged me off when I asked questions and I left. Didn't say a word and ignored me. I vowed never to go back. If someone can't even treat you with respect when you ask questions, doesn't matter how good the food is, it isn't worth giving them your money. If you are an employee - or even not, not sure about the policy for non-employees - there is a cafeteria for employees in the International Terminal just a short walk from this food truck's location. Go there. They have decent food for a good price including my go-to when I want rice. Their loco-moco is decent at a great price. And the Filipino employees are a lot nicer and kinder than that lady working at the food truck.
