Beef Shwarma Bowl with saffron rice, hummus, tabouli
Lori T.

I was so happy to see Pacific Pita finally open - it's a great addition to the neighborhood. If you blink, you'll miss it - it's right next to the little convenience market at Cleveleland/Meade. Went for the soft opening and had the beef shwarma bowl and enjoyed the tabouli and saffron rice mixed with the hummus and garlic sauce (FYI, garlic is prominent which I loved). I thought the portion size was great for the price. Like another reviewer, I thought that a few pita bites would've enhanced the dish since the portion of hummus was huge. I'll definitely go back and try the other yummy options. I do wish they had a small table/umbrella to give it a little more friendly curb appeal. Even a portable umbrella and belly bars from costco would be fine. Overall, great addition to the neighborhood and I cant wait to return.

Pacific Pita is a set of service windows operating out of a structure in the University Heights neighborhood. The business was on a random corner next to a convenience store where there were two dedicated parking spots out front (one regular, one handicapped). There were no chairs or tables outside which was a shame because that meant you had to take your food to go. After placing an order, you could either stand next to a fence or go back to your vehicle and wait. A menu sheet was posted next to each window. For what appeared to be a small operation, there were lots of Mediterranean based choices across the categories of appetizers, bowls, fries, salads, and wraps. You could even order party size trays if you needed large quantities. I selected a Salmon Tikka Bowl out of the nine bowl varieties. Herb-marinated salmon chunks were added on top of my choice of base which was a hybrid of greens and saffron rice. Hummus, garlic, tahini sauce, and tabouli salad were provided on the side. I thought the quantity of food was decent for the $19.99 price. The hummus and tahini sauce were perfect to mix with the yellow rice and made it less dry to consume. Perhaps some pita slices could have been added to the order. The salmon was slightly overcooked, but the marinade was able to save the protein. I gave a four star rating for my takeout experience at Pacific Pita.

Amazing! The pacific pita wrap was very good. French fries were also delicious and crispy. The bowls were very large servings and all looked amazing. Service was great, pre ordered online and it was ready on time. The sauces are also very good!! There is nice outdoor seating but no in door seating. Outdoor tables do have umbrellas for shade.

Chicken Shawarma Wrap

Pacific Pita has recently opened its doors. It is a to-go place only at this point. It's located next to the "American Market" convenience store. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap with no fries. All their wraps come with fries. Even without the fries, they still had me pay the full price of $15.99 plus which came out to $17 and some change. I wish they would have offered me a small salad, a small side of hummus, or a small side of babaghanoush at least. At any rate, the chicken shawarma wrap was very good. It did not come wrapped in more traditional pita, lavish, or saj flat bread, but rather a good and dependable flour tortilla, which was of good quality. The chicken was tender and very tasty. The tahini sauce that came inside the wrap was very good. The house pickled cucumbers were great and the tomatoes and onions were fresh. They put just enough sumac to complement the rest of the ingredients. A very good shawarma wrap. The hospitality was pretty good. There was not much conversation, but then they were busy getting ready for the day. The service was average. It did take about 15 minutes to make the wrap and I was the only one there, not that I am complaining.

Chicken Tikka Bowl
Cirwan S.

Flavor was top tier ! We were finally able to make our way out to this spot. Me and my buddies were starving. We each had 2 eggs rolls. 1 beef and 1 1cheese. To me the cheese was better. We each got a half of a kabob wrap and make it crispy. It was delicious my favorite item on the menu ! We shared Pacifica fries. Half beef half chicken the shawarma was juicy. I took a chicken tikka bowl to go when I got home it was still yummy. Lots of flavor on the chicken and the hummus was still fresh. They even have dessert we all got a pistachio ice cream. Definitely a must try. They have dinning tables in the front also! Coming back again !

Cream chicken pita

This place is a hidden gem. The french fries were so good. And oh my goodness, the chicken pita was out of this world. The bread was soft and held up nicely in the wrap. I will definitely visit again soon.

Chicken Shawarma Wrap
Janet L.

My friend and I visited Pacific Pita for lunch the other day. We split a chicken Shawarma wrap with fries and a falafel bowl. We also tried a side of baba ghanoush and some baklava. Kind owner gave us some pistachio ice cream to go with the dessert. Everything was fantastic. I especially appreciated the freshness of the tabouli in the falafel bowl, and the smoky deliciousness of the baba ghanoush. We will be back.

Chicken Cream Chop Wrap
Will T.

Been twice now since they opened a week or so ago. First time, food was excellent, my only note was the price to quantity was a little off. Second trip, they seemed to have fixed that issue. Tonight we got a shawarma bowl and chicken cream chop wrap, both were amazing and plenty of food... even in our starving state. I will be eating here often.

Chicken Cream Chop Wrap Hummus

First time here and everything was delicious! Split a chicken cream wrap and hummus appetizer with my bf and it was so good! Also the pistachio ice cream was so yummy, perfect amount of sweet. The service was amazing the woman at front was so sweet. Loved the outdoor seating. Will definitely be coming back to try out more things

Takeout only, but they let us know they may be adding tables by their grand opening! This is perfect to walk up to for our neighborhood :)
Marcella M.

Stopped by for the soft opening and was nothing short of impressed! The employees were super friendly and patient as I decided what to order. I ordered the beef shawarma wrap and it was so flavorful and delicious. The french fries were also amazing, I loved the seasoning! Definitely one of the best I've ever had! Can't wait to try out more options

I can for the viral Wagyu Shawarma Cheesesteak. It was very tasty with a mix of peppers, onion…read morecheese and sauce. Whatever sauce they used gave it a bit of spiciness. I went at 3:30 pm on a Saturday and was surprised that it was pretty busy at that weird time The sandwich was huge ( probably 12 inch sub) so depending on how hungry you are, you could easily split it. I loved the fries. Whatever seasoning they used gave is perfect

Man I really wanted to like this place due to all the rave reviews. Our first experience was mixed…read morewith some meats being great and others dry beef bits that weren't very tasty or appealing. 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.

Soooo Delicious!!!…read more Service was excellent!!! Owners made all the food to order and served the dishes to everyone. They interacted with all the customers, explaining the menu, and giving recommendations. They were very friendly and welcoming. Food was DELICIOUS!!!! Everything was made fresh to order. I came for brunch and ended up overeating... it was soo good, I couldn't stop. I ordered some tea, a bowl of amazing garlicky Foul (pronounced fool, an open faced meat pie (lahm bajeen) in the flakiest lightest crust I've ever had, and super sweet and extra cheesy Kunafi with Kaack for desert. I was so impressed, I ordered dinner to-go (Stuffed kusa (known as mexican squash) and stuffed cabbage). Large beautiful dining area, great for small or big groups. Warning, parking is tight.

They do Kunafa well but their people skills need a bit of work. I went in last min to get a Kunafa…read morefor the family and understandably if they were too busy or whatever they could have simply said "no, sorry" and life would have moved on. But instead the whole ordeal (because that's what it ended up being) was very uncomfortable and unsavory. When i put my order in, the kitchen responded with a slew of insults in arabic, upset about the last min request. Me being mixed race, my appearance doesn't scream 'arabic speaker' and to be honest my arabic ain't perfect but i knew i was being insulted and that clearly the last min order was a problem. I had told them it's okay i understand it wasn't a good time and subtly hinted at being able to understand what was happening, which ended up making things even weirder. Instead of them taking the out i gave them, they insisted they could make the dessert and while i waited I was put to a test to see if i truly understood what had been said about me. The woman in front and the man in the back both took turns talking to me in both english and rapid speed arabic to test how much i could have possibly understood. I was in shock and smiled my way through the very strange interaction because i was still much too shocked to even formulate a proper emotional response to the rudeness. The moment I got the food i took it with a smile (still) because it was ramadan and it wasn't worth breaking my fast over and i haven't looked back. Now even tho it's blocks from my home I just go to El cajon if i want kunafa or anything else they offer. Other than that the place inside looked nice and again the kunafa was tasty but that was unfortunately my one and only experience there.
