    my first time at cava & it was delicious! HOWEVER, the only thing is that the chicken was really dry and it was hard to chew unfortunately. overall, i love the flavors combined & for sure next time, i have to try a different protein because i feel like it would make the experience a 10/10. * my favorite aspect is the diversity and flavors of this place, it has so much prospects of being much better than chipotle. service: decent! nothing much to say cause i picked it up via the app! ambiance: tons of seating :) parking: lots of free parking as well in the lot

    Harissa honey chicken (spicy), cucumber and tomatoes, corn, arugula, rice, feta, and Greek dressing with pita (free)

    Food was delicious. It is similar to chipotle as far as you make your own food and seating. Servers were a bit soft spoken but they were polite, facility was clean. Would recommend.

    No moisture, like jerky

    Literally the worst salmon I've ever had, worse than canned salmon. Overcooked to the point of chewy like jerky, terrible fishy smell, tastes like someone microwaved it on high for 5 min. Needed a knife to cut it, had to use effort to tear it open. Didn't taste any sort of glaze. It was inedible and I would have taken it back but I was already on the road. Smothered in dill yogurt sauce, which was tasty itself but way too much of it. Not much substance to the meal if you remove the salmon. I now remember I did try Cava before and had an underwhelming experience the first time too. This solidified I won't return. I deleted the app immediately. I want my $15 back

    Updating my review...This is the 3rd time dining here. I really love that we have healthy options such as Cava in Kyle, but my goodness there hasn't been any improvement these past few days. If ever I believe the staff have regressed. I think it's pretty negligent for this location to leave a new restaurant and new staff without a seasoned manager or supervisor. I am still rating it a 3 because the staff appear to be friendly and nice...just lack guidance and a structured assembly line process. I really hope it gets better because the food quality is there. I recommend the pita versus the salad option. It appears the salad option is not as plentiful or filling. The ambiance is new and the decor is modern. I just wished they invested in a seasoned manager or supervisor that is able to guide the staff.

    Pretty much everything in a bowl.

    The night before they opened to the public, Cava had a free meal evening that my wife and I were lucky enough to get tickets to. To be ultra simplistic, Cava is a Mediterranean version of Chipotle or Mod Pizza. You choose a protein and a base and whether you want it in a pita or as a bowl. I chose the spicy lamb meatballs (one of the super helpful employees recommended) with the lentils as a base. I would normally order something pretty much how it came, but I decided to go all out (it was free) and add a bunch of extras... so on a normal day I would have never added the avocado (on account of the price), but it was delicious. The entire experience was wonderful and this is a welcome and fairly healthy option for a lunch or dinner where you can get out the door at under $15 per person.

    The saddest salad ever.

    Of course great food! There's typically always a little line so might have to wait a bit. They also run low on pita chips.

    I was looking at places close to me and found this food truck on google maps. It was close and…read morelooked good, so I called in an order and was told it would take 25 minutes. When I arrived at the address, it was 3 food trucks, thinking it was one of them, I knocked and nothing. I called the truck back and he told me they moved addresses and google wont change it. He gave me the correct address- an additional 15 minutes away and said "everyone knows our new address", I'm not sure who "everyone" is. How are you supposed to get new customers?! When I arrived at the truck, the guy did not apologize or make me feel any better. He wasn't nice or welcoming and kept blaming it on google. HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE! When I got home, I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken plate. The chicken was great, rice was flavorful and the side salad with the lemon vinaigrette was a huge plus. However, the hummus was very nutty and the pita bread was flat and not warm. The correct address is in yelp, not google or Apple Maps!

    This is located in a cute little food truck park. The people are very nice. I got the falafel plate…read moreand we also got the beef kebab plate. I love a good mediterranean salad but this place's dressing wasn't it for me. The beef kebab was very well seasoned and the rice is very yummy. I think I've been blessed with having good mediterranean food so this was just okay in my opinion. The pita was dry and the falafel was too big and mushy inside with not enough flavoring/seasoning. I also would have liked the falafel plate to have rice instead of fries simply because the rice was so good and the fries were so lack luster. Overall this is a very average place but perhaps I ordered poorly.

Located off old ranch road 12, there's nothing flashy about this slot in an old strip retail building. It looks likes it been here a while and absolutely nothing has changed.. except maybe the prices. Nonetheless, it's very clean and maintained. The man behind the counter was friendly to me and the other customers. I ordered a traditional gyro that comes with fries and a soft drink. The food was ready in 10 minutes and delivered to my table. The gyro was perfect. The pita and meat portions piping hot and the lettuce, tomato, onion and tzatziki sauce nicely chilled and fresh. Each bite was consistently good. The French fries were hot and nicely seasoned. Very happy to have the pita shop hit the spot for a gyro craving.

    The falafel pita was extremely bland. The falafel itself tasted like lettuce no seasoning no…read morespices, nothing. The bread was chewy and tough to chew! It barely had any tahini in it. The fries are inedible, fried in old grease, flaccid and not crispy. Very soft to touch. Portion size of the fries was very limited. The fries look old since the color is very dark. They look like they were fried to the very minimum or not at all. I couldn't even finish them. They got cold very quickly. Just disgusting really. I emphasize that they taste old. I'm sure why this place has high reviews on Google or Yelp. They did not do a good job on my order at all. I'm from Houston and I've had better falafels with full flavor, but I guess since this is San Marcos they know they can slack off. I know my Mediterranean food and usually the cuisine has a lot of good spices! I won't be coming back. It was disgusting! I now have to eat at a better restaurant to cover the disgust on my palate.
