Mr. Shwarma

Had a wonderful shawarma dinner our last night in town. Food was great and the owners hospitality was wonderful! She even brought us complimentary tea and baklava!! Will definitely revisit when we are in the area :)

This is a must visit Halal food truck! Absolutely hands-down one of the best Shawarma places I have ever tried!!! They are open late night, and the proportions are huge! We got one beef and one chicken shawarma and it was so delicious. Our dinner ended up being two meals for us because of how much they gave.

Picked up some food on the way to airport. Chicken shawarma is amazing, meat is marinated well and cooked to perfection and goes well with the garlic sauce provided

My go-to for Mediterranean food! This place is great when you’re looking for an authentic meal…all of the wraps are delicious and fresh too. Make sure to ask for the garlic sauce, goes great with the fries!

Tried the beef shawarma (~$20) and the Mr. Shawarma with rice (half chicken, half beef - $20), and both were fantastic! The rice was cooked well and had great flavor. The food smelled amazing, the portion sizes were generous, and the price was great for the area. Plus, the guy serving was super friendly, which made the experience even better. Definitely recommend!

Great Halal food and amazing service. The food is well prepared and fresh loved it!

Mr. Shawarma is a gem in San Diego for Mediterranean cuisine! The flavors are authentic, the shawarma is perfectly seasoned, and the falafel is a must-try. The baklava was one of a kind. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is inviting. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this spot is a culinary delight. Highly recommend!

One of the best meals I tried in San Diego. If you’re around Pacific Beach you should definitely check it out. I had the lamb and beef wrap and it was delicious, the meat was tender and well condimented, also the dressings were on point.

Food was amazing ! My girl got the chicken shawarma wrap with salad and some purple drink they have, and I got the beef and lamb shawarma wrap with onion rings and a Mediterranean lemon bottled drink. We also had the baklava for dessert. Food was amazinggggg ! It was soooo good. Definitely coming back. All of it. The drinks the wraps the salad the onion rings. And the baklava was soooo sweet. Omg delicious.

Updated nine months later ; I tried it from the truck and recently at the restaurant, and it is still one of the best shawarmas in SoCal! This shawarma is super juicy, fresh, and tasty—excellent service, prices, and portions. It's authentic Middle-eastern shawarma with a high quality. It's a must-try!!

Delicious flavor, delicious value, delicious everything! Lovely and friendly house staff too. I’m not a San Diego native so I’m very sad I can’t have this for a long time. Check them out for that lamb shank and dessert 🤯

Found this great little food truck right by our hotel while walking to and from the shuttle for the San Diego Comic Con. We've never had schwarma before, but now we can't get enough! We're back for dinner again tonight! Price is good. Quantity is good. Flavor is great!

They were really friendly and helpful even with confusing orders. The food was really good and great value! I highly recommend!

Stopped by Mr. Shawarma food truck just for myself and decided to try the burger — and I’m glad I did! It was seriously one of the best food truck I’ve had. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right and got 2 more for to go. Ahmad, the guy at the window, was super friendly and made the whole experience feel welcoming. Great service, great food — can’t ask for more. I’ll definitely be back!

I visited Mr. Shawarma in San Diego on two separate occasions, and overall, it was a good experience. On my first visit, I ordered the chicken shawarma, and it was excellent! The spicy sauce was a standout—absolutely amazing and really elevated the dish. I was so impressed that I decided to return the next day and order the same thing. Unfortunately, this time the shawarma came without the spicy sauce, which was a bit of a letdown. Another disappointment was that on both days, they didn’t have rice available. It was a bummer because I think having rice as a side would have made the meal more complete. That said, the food itself was still good, but I believe they need to improve their consistency and ensure they always have rice available. If they can work on these aspects, this place would easily be a five-star spot Forgot to mention the baklava was excellent. Unfortunately on tbe second day they were out of baklavas

Pretty good shwarma but pass on the fries and drink or you'll end up paying $20 for a meal worth $10. Sauce costs extra - Also a pass, It's 90% mayo.

I had a very unsatisfactory experience at this restaurant. The burger was sloppily prepared, and I was given the wrong order. Compounding the issue, I was overcharged twice. I hope management addresses these significant service and billing problems promptly. This place needs a visit from the health department for the hygiene and fire department for safety.

I usually don’t write reviews, but this experience was too disappointing to ignore. I eat only halal food, so my options are limited—and I drove nearly 7 miles just to grab some fries from here on Sunday, April 6, 2025. First, I asked for a Habib burger—“don’t have it.” Then I asked for a fried chicken burger—“sorry, don’t have that either.” I finally settled for seasoned fries, which cost me around $8. What I got was plain regular fries. I told the guy multiple times they didn’t look or taste seasoned at all, but he kept insisting they were. I honestly don’t know what he thinks “seasoned” means. Waste of a drive, money, and time. Very frustrating.

Came here after a long/tiring day at sea world only to find out there really wasn’t much to eat here. Tried ordering a burger: out Tried ordering hot dog: out Tried ordering shawarma rice platter: out of rice Nutella bites: out. Long story short basically out of everything on the menu pretty frustrating w a party of 10+
