    Chicken shawarma
    Nancy N.

    This food truck had a ton of options and you can order ahead. The chicken shawarma was delicious and the fries were nice and crisp, with really good seasoning! The man working was super sweet and gave me ketchup and hot sauce on the side!! I will definitely be back to try more!

    Lamb gyro plate with French fries, tzatziki sauce, and mixed veggies (carrots, cauliflower, celery)
    Jonathan L.

    Friendly owner; recommended the lamb gyro. It came with French fries, mixed vegetables, and tzatziki sauce. It came out to a little over $13. Reasonable cost for a food truck Pros - Lamb gyro and French fries were well seasoned - Tzatziki sauce tasted refreshing - Friendly owner (came over to give me the takeout while I was in my car) - Pretty solid portion Cons - Mixed vegetable weren't great. It was almost too seasoned; maybe a little too much salt. Tasted a little vinegary I'd go back, but would look for something that either doesn't have vegetables, or ask to sub the veggies for something else

    Chicken shawarma, comes with rice, hummus and a salad

    I discovered this place about a month ago and think about their food all the time. I've only gotten the chicken shawarma plate and it's absolutely delicious. The plate is very generous and flavorful, and the service is friendly and fast

    Lamb gyro plate and baklava.

    Amazing food served quickly. Their falafel is absolutely the best and made to order, well worth the 15 minute wait. The rice and humus complimented the lamb gyro plate perfectly.

    Chicken shawarma Arabic sandwich

    Best shawarma in San Antonio and I've tried many. Moved here from Phoenix where good shawarma is aplenty. Here...not so much. But this place is absolutely delicious! Fresh, hot, delicious, perfectly spiced, meat is not dry. I just stopped by with my 7-year-old after a doctor appointment and saw it in the Shell parking lot while driving home. The owner is extremely nice and gave us lollipops and a sample of the shawarma. He brought out the food to my car where I waited. Ordered 2 chicken shawarma Arabic sandwiches, 1 mixed kebab plate, and some falafel. Everything is amazing. I have high expectations and have been disappointed many times in this city but Baba's is the best. I'm so happy I ate it in the car and didn't wait to get home lol Please go and get this delicious food you'll be so glad you did. My son said it's 5 stars too!

    Lamb gyro, fries, giardinara and muhamarah

    Phenomenal food, I had the lamb gyro with fries and it was perfect!! They make their own muhamarah, delicious and something I hadn't found at many places in SA.The family that owns it are very friendly and the quality of their food and service has absolutely carried over from their first truck. I also tried their house rice pudding and baklava and they were spot on to my taste. Definitely recommend this to anyone who likes good middle eastern fare.

    This was probably one of the best Gyro wraps I've ever had. The lamb was nothing less than perfect…read more The tziki sauce super good, and the veggies were fresh. The pita was a nice thing pita and everything was rolled and then perfectly grilled shut. The only thing disappointing was finishing my wrap and not ordering another. I'll be back very soon. (I ate too quickly and forgot to take a picture)

    Located in a gas station parking lot right off busy Wurzbach Rd, King of Shawarma & Kabab Food…read moreTruck provided hot food with kind but distant service. My family of four decided to cheat on our regular shawarma guy (Abu Omar) and try someplace else, and since this was everyone's "to try" list, we journeyed out on a Sunday afternoon. This area of Wurzbach is notoriously busy, but we were able to park alongside the Valero gas station where the food truck is set up. There are a couple of picnic tables and a porta-john within a few steps of the food truck. I don't know if the latter is for the food truck patrons or not, though. Hanging out in the "outdoor dining area" in a gas station parking lot with traffic whizzing by wasn't my idea of ambiance so we decided we were going to eat in the car. We checked out the menu and weren't initially greeted by the lone employee in the truck, but I'll chalk that up to him being busy setting up for the day. When we were ready, we ordered Chicken Arabis (wraps filled with chicken shawarma), a Chicken Gyro plate, and a Mixed Gyro plate. Our gyro plates came with a small salad, rice, hummus, and what was called pita bread but resembled and tasted like a paratha (which is a good thing). The hummus, in my opinion, lacked garlic, and the rice and chicken were both bland, but the plate was filling and hot. My husband also agreed that the meat lacked seasoning, but he finished his plate. The red sauce that came with the plates was spicy, but lacked any other flavor. The garlic sauce, which I'm assuming is toum, was really tasty and packed that garlicky flavor. I dumped it on my chicken and rice, and it turned out to be a great idea. Our kids enjoyed their Arabis but also agreed that the meat was bland. The food was delivered to our car by the man who took our order, which alone was worth a star. The total for our meals, with drinks and a tip, was $74, which is a steal nowadays. I recommend trying this food truck in the area since flavor preferences are subjective. The quality and price make it worthwhile if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

    I have been a regular visitor here for several years . I…read moreenjoy the food and love to sit outdoors . My visit today was awkward and I actually considered leaving. Upon arrival I crossed paths with a very familiar server and asked if I could have a table outdoors on the patio which was practically empty. Like always, she was very friendly and asked me which table I wanted . I chose a table that was out of direct sunlight, but that had not yet been 100% cleared which was not an issue of concern for me. Within 5 minutes of sitting at the table the server appeared and asked me if I was dining in. I said yes and was told that next time I need to check in with the hostess before sitting down . I attempted to explain that I was greeted by one of her fellow servers who told me to have a seat wherever I desired . I was then approached by the hostess who also reprimanded me for not "checking in" with her first. The only other guests on the patio were clearly uncomfortable with the petty and completely unnecessary lecture about seating protocol on a practically empty patio. The food as expected ,was delicious. However, a refresher course in hospitality is much needed. I can choose to spend my lunch hour and my money anywhere. Being made to feel as if I am an inconvenience to staff or being made to feel unwelcome was not a positive experience. More than enough said.

    Great place to meet friends for lunch! The 1/2 kale salad was delicious!…read more We sat out on the patio on this particular day. The waitress kindly brought a little fan to help keep the bugs away.
