I love the Halal Project! I'm spoiled here because they clearly code anything that is GF as such on…read moretheir menu, and their food all tastes fresh and delicious. The meat is seasoned and hits the spot every time - it doesn't matter what meat you get because it is all great! Tons of variation on their menu. I get the bowls with rice and lettuce a plus every topping under the sun and garlic/harissa sauce. Chicken is great, beef is great, and I could eat their falafel all day. I love getting the bowls with their various pickled veggies for the contrast in tastes. Dolma is delicious, the kebabs are delicious, the fries loaded with deliciousness are in fact delicious, and the prices for all dishes are very reasonable. Food can take a little longer, but only because the food is cooked fresh to order and not sitting in a metal container overcooking. Their pitas are stuffed to a brim with toppings and meat, and I could eat their hummus all day every day. Every time we come to San Marcos I have to try to force myself to try something new - it's hard, but we always find ourselves back at Halal Project happily full every time.

The veggies were, as always, beautiful and fresh. Halfway through I did remark to Mr R that Halal Project definitely has more flavor than Taziki, and he agreed. It did take a little longer than expected (mostly noticeable bc it's a day we had a plane to catch) but not outrageous and the results were indisputably worth it. Love to whoever wrapped these gyros sturdily enough to make eating them in the car NOT a complete disaster; we will continue to enjoy this local delight.

TLDR: More a-ok than fandom for me, but I'm not that into hot chicken and am giving an extra star…read morefor the shakes. Only learned of this place when coupons showed up in my mailbox last month. Could have gotten the jr version of their signature sandwich for $5, free fries/drink with my entree, or $1 wings but we chose to go for a half price shake coupon. I'm glad we did. Couldn't order ahead because of the coupon and as others mention, it takes a moment for them to cook your order. Don't know if that's a learning curve from opening or if that's how it will always be, but Mr R brought me out the shake to enjoy while the order finished. Several degrees of heat to choose from, and for our first visit we went mild on the signature sandwich. Mr R could have gone hotter but was surprised at the starting heat level. Definitely get a shake to keep the fire at bay if you need to, we loved the chocolate shake with whipped cream alongside our sandwich. The sando was packaged attractively and came with a shot of sauce. Decent bun, I liked the slaw and loved the pickles. Chicken itself was a little dry but white breast often does that and with the toppings/sauce it came together nicely. Because we were splitting both items for dinner, two adults ate for just under $20.

As is often the case, the reviews of both locations were accurate. The portions were meager for the price point and I was unimpressed with the service. The cashier added on sauces to each sandwich at a whopping $1 each. "Do you want the sauce on the side?" I wrongly assumed this meant as rather than on the sandwich it was in a cup. Nope, it was an extra cup of unnecessary sauce with that up charge. In addition to being the cashier, she also prepped the raw chicken into batter. However, I didn't not see her wash her hands after cash handling, or washing them after the chicken and returning to the register. Being short handed is one thing, but this is a food safety concern.

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.
