I frequent the Yard at St Elmo often since I live nearby. Most of the time I am at St Elmo Brewing and alternate between having Spicy Boys or Patty Palace for food so I don't make it down to check what's new as often I should. Reem's is located by Spokesman coffee and I recently was able to learn about them and try their falafel at a Yelp event, and it really was the best falafel I had ever had - well seasoned, perfectly crisp, yet light on the inside. Ever since, I had bookmarked it so I could try more. I ordered a Chicken Plate and a Falafel Plate for delivery to share with a friend. They both traveled well. The plates come with a side of tabouli and hummus. I got the Spicy Hummus, which I didn't get any heat at all so I would order spicier in the future. The tabouli was nice and bright from the fresh parsley. The chicken was okay but I think I'd try the beef and lamb instead. The falafel was just as good as I remembered and I can see myself just buying a side of falafel every time I walk by. read more

I discovered St..Elmo and came back! I originally trying a falafel sample at the Discover St. Elmo event with Yelp. I came back because I appreciated having a sample today reflected the main dishes of a Jerusalem street food truck. I order using the he link to their toast. They were on a break, so I had to wait a little longer. The link to order came in handy vs me waiting to put an order in until someone arrived. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and a side of falafels. My falafels were crispy and flavorful. The chicken shawarma wrap was the perfect size. The amount of meat on the wrap was really good, all of the ingredients were balanced well. The chicken was flavorful as well. I wanted to order fries, but they were sold out. There is plenty of seating available throughout St. Elmo. You can sit outside, listen to music, and grab a drimk from other businesses. I will definitely go again! read more

This food truck is in the st. Elmo area. I was playing pickleball near by and was craving some shawarma. I tried ordering at the counter but they were backed up with orders so I ordered through the QR code, ended up ordering the chicken shawarma with double meat. Took around 25 minutes to get the order. The food was very good and tasty. Would go back again. read more

Hit up Reem's during a Sunday Funday exploration of The Yard with a friend who was visiting from out-of-state. The chicken bowl is so good. You can get it with either tabbouleh, hummus, or rice at the bottom. I am a MANIAC FOR TABBOULEH so you know what my base was. By the way, the tabbouleh is insanely fresh and fragrant. The bowl includes perfectly seasoned chicken, turnips, and cucumbers. This bowl hit the spot. I would eat it everyday if I could. Truth. read more

Located at the yard right outside of spokesman in south Austin, Reem's has a different taste on shrawma than I've ever had. It has more of a char flavor on the chicken bowl and I liked it. Also came with good veggies mixed in which was a nice fresh touch. The food came out quick and there was a solid portion for the price. Only thing I wish they included was a hot sauce on it, as I had to add my own. read more

Tony's food is simply the best! Recently visited for a Yelp Elite event and were treated to their delicious falafel. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and the portions are generous. Go now! read more

We tried Reem's at a Yelp event and I was so surprised to find they had dedicated gluten free options. The proprietor has a niece who's a celiac and said they made it a priority to be aware. And did I mention the falafel balls are delicious! read more

I'm sure glad I gave this spot a second chance. My first go around was with the lamb/beef wrap. Which was solid, very juicy with the sauces, and more than satisfying for a quick lunch, but quite a few chewy fat pieces from the lamb which left me less than impressed. But this time, I tried the Chicken Shawirma Plate - MY GOODNESS. Outstanding. First bite was a scoop of hummus, and let me tell you... I did not know hummus could be this delicious. Creamy, buttery, delicate. Do they put butter in it? I don't think so, but somehow it's that good. Next the chicken. Delicious flavor. Juicy, moist, just really good chicken thigh. Put it all together with the rice and the pickles and you have a standout lunch. The side tabbouleh salad (basically fine parsley and mint with lemon juice) was bright and a great compliment. Took about 15min late afternoon. Would definitely order this again and maybe try a side of falafel next time for a snack! read more

Best falafel in town!! I'm absolutely obsessed with their falafel wrap and crave it on the regular. The folks here are incredible & so sweet! They always hook it up with big portions. If you wanna eat there, there's a great covered patio with lots of vines and cool murals. Highly recommend! read more

I'm willing to say that Reem's makes the best falafel in Austin, based on my experiences thus far. Perhaps it's a low bar because nothing else even comes close, but it would stand up to scrutiny in most places. They're fried fresh to order and come out piping hot, super crispy, but still most, soft, fresh, and vibrantly green inside. It's the ideal presentation for a falafel and truly redeems them after so many years of terrible attempts. I almost stopped trying them altogether; now I know I just need to save my craving for trips out to this diminutive truck parked in The Yard. It wish it was close, I wish food came out faster, but all of the hassle is worthwhile if you want the real deal. read more

Was on the way back to Dallas and we were in the market for some halal sustenance. I'm very happy we ended up going to Reem's! Got the spicy chicken shawarma wrap. To be honest, I was not really expecting much seeing as it was a food truck, but honestly it was banging (really good). Good amount of spice, great flavors, and very clean meat - no awkward cartilage chunks that I have to pull out of my mouth like other shawarma spots. Love the pickles and other fillings they use, traditional and the flavors hit. Overall, nice and filling wrap that for the price is worth the cleanliness and flavors IMO. The two guys in the truck were great too, had nice small talk while they were prepping the food. If I'm ever making the long drive and in the area again, will definitely return and try the falafel that other reviewers were raving about. read more

Best falafel I've ever had. Not super dense and light and fluffy. Hummus on point very light and creamy. Highly recommend! read more

Reem's - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

First off: they take orders via Toast. I believe it's a one-man show and since everything is made to order, it can take a while. There's even a sign on the window encouraging you to order online so the chef can focus on preparing orders. Even if you do have to wait the full 15-20 min for your food -- it is so worth it. Everything was so fresh and beautifully prepared. We ordered the chicken shwarma wrap -- my two young girls (1.5 and 4.5 y/o) devoured it. I probably could've ordered them each their own. The beef and lamb plate had generous portions and came with a thin pita to dip in the hummus. We also ordered the fries, which were actually perfection. They probably were frozen but they were fried and salted perfectly. Order ahead. Grab a table at Austin Winery. And enjoy your delicious meal! read more

Hands down the best falafel I've ever had! Place is super authentic! It tastes like grandmas cooking. Prices are fair portions are large. Highly recommended! read more

The many effusive reviews here for Reem's are spot on!! I love Shawarma but, after trying a few other local spots in the last year, I haven't been happy with what I found. However, after I stopped by and tried Reem's spicy Shawarma chicken, my love of this dish has been restored! Everything is right about this dish; it is an explosion of delicious flavor with perfect preparation and use of ingredients, marination and sauce!! read more

Solid middle eastern food out of a food cart next to Spokesman and the Tesla repair place. I end up working remotely from the coffee shop next door at least once a month when my husband has appointments in the area, and we have long been wondering about this food cart. Should we try it? Well, we finally did! We each ordered the falafel plate and everything tasted fresh and hearty, without leaving us feeling bloated and overstuffed. That's a good balance. My hubby and I wanted to try their baba ghanoush but they were out unfortunately. We were offered hummus instead, which we tried, and it did not disappoint. My husband declared this as "the best falafel in town" and I won't go against his review, they're good and legit. Staff was cordial and expedient. Good stuff. read more

Insane. Different. They even spell it different - shawirmah. The beef and lamb wrap is crispy on the outside. Go with the spicy hummus - just enough kick to get it popping. Bottom line - this is the real deal. read more

Truly some of the best Mediterranean food I've had in Austin! The falafel, hummus, and shawarma and veggies were all great!

Ok make the drive to find this place! Don't pass it up! It is a place called the yard. It has the Austin winery and some pretty awesome food trucks. Sorry no pictures of my awesome sandwich from Reem's. It was super yummy and I could stop eating. Definitely a must stop and have a glass of wine and great food!!!! Picnic tables outside to relax. read more

Reem's is a phenomenal food truck that deserves more popularity, and hopefully, a brick and mortar down the line. Until slightly recently, their shawarma was the best in town, but they've now switched to using tortilla wraps instead of pita bread (costs maybe?) and the mouth feel and overall taste isn't the same anymore. I miss it, but I won't order again with the current changes, so I'll get my fix from the Phoenicia resto cafe or the Phoenicia bakery. Their bowls and plates are well portioned and incredibly flavorful!. Service isn't the friendliest sometimes, but if you're there for the food, who cares?. Just as their name indicates, their falafel is incredible and probably the best I've ever had outside of a Lebanese friend's home. Things I wish they had on the menu: Baba ganoush and toum /garlic sauce. read more

People giving this place five stars must have started by getting a good buzz on at Austin Winery next door. :-) When I went, around 8:30 on a Friday, they had already run out of wraps. I got a bowl instead. It turned out to be a thin layer of meat and a few vegetable strips just barely hiding a bowl full of rice. No sauce -- just rice and the barest minimum of meat and veggies. For $14.50, it felt like a rip-off. The meat was supposed to be beef and lamb, but I couldn't tell one from the other. And due to the lack of sauce, it was dry and not very flavorful. The veggies helped a little, but they were gone after the first few bites. I was very disappointed. I wished I had gone to one of the many other nearby food trucks. read more

Reem's is the perfect addition to The Austin Winery. The menu is straightforward... plate or sandwich and pick your protein. They have specials and a few other options I noticed too. My husband and I each got spicy plates - one chicken and one beef/lamb. The portion was filling and just what I needed to go with my Friday evening chill at the winery. If you are looking for a milder option I'd recommend the chicken. Both were packed with flavor! The falafel was on point too. I'll be back soon because this is my favorite spot in town to drink, eat and relax. read more

I'm Italian and in Italy is quite difficult to find Arabian food, but let me say: it is awsome! I'll come back for sure! Thank you guys!

I stopped by this great food truck for some falafel. The owners were very friendly and my falafel pita was so fresh and falafel was one of the best!! Had cucumbers, lettuce, spices, and tahini /spicy hummus. Fresh pita You can get other pitas or a platter. Fries have Za'atar sprinkled on top. They have spicy Harrisa if you ask, was so good!! Make it one of your stops !!! read more

I went to one of my favorite coffee spots at Spokesman to grab a coldbrew and work remotely when I saw a food truck nearby and decided to give Reem's Falafel a try! There slogan was "Streetfood straight from Jerusalem" which caught my attention! There is a wait about 15-20 minutes on average so I would recommend calling in ahead to save you time. I tried there there Falafel Plate w/spicy hummus and definitely did not disappoint! The Falafel was very flavorful crispy texture on the outside and flavor bomb in the inside! Everything else was fresh and my favorite thing was the spicy hummus wish they gave you more, but I'm sure it would sell out too quick! I would come back and try the other options great tasting first impressions. read more

One of the best Shawarma in Austin! If not the best. It has an authentic Palestinian flare to it and as Lebanese myself I vouch for how great it is. Highly recommended. Try the falafel as well. They are excellent specially fresh read more

Great falafel plate! Really appreciate that the falafel and tabbouleh are gluten free (both use quinoa) and that it's also vegan. Falafel had crispy outside with softness within. Delicious hummus. read more

Idk what to think anymore; when i went i got like 7 pieces of chicken on this little pile of rice for like 17$ and i felt so ripped off it was mind blowing; that being said the other peoples plates i see pictures of look nothing like mine... will consider giving a 2nd chance and trying again; but overall the food is solid, portions are just way too small especially for the price in my personal experience Halal bros is better for value and potentially flavor, also Palestinian owned. read more

Tried this last night, everything was delicious!!! Coming from a middle eastern person, this is by far the best falafel I've had in Austin. Super authentic falafel. We also tried the beef and lamb shawarma which was spiced to perfection. Lots of fresh veggies in the wraps/plates. They use a thin flat bread so the food does not feel heavy at all. Highly recommend! read more

Food was mid at best. Ordered sandwich, loaded fries, and can soda + tip which came out to $40 which was an eye opener. Sandwich fell apart Load fries was okay read more

Had 2 loaded down dinner's!!!! Excellent !!! You're the Real Deal and the Best!! Tastee!! Billy & LeAnne read more

Ordered takeout tonight from Reem's & as usual, it was fantastic. My wife and I go to the truck often but takeout in general can always be such a hit or miss; not here! I ordered extra pita bread with our order and even got a personalized note from whoever was working explaining that they were running low on pita. The incredible thing was that that they STILL hooked it up on the extra pita bread that they sent us! Wonderful food, great customer service and local; what more could you ask for! read more

A one man show, this guys makes food soooo slow. Takes 5 orders at a time then closes the window and cooks for over a half hour. Completes all 5 orders before sending anything out or taking anyone else's order. Doesn't even acknowledge the customers waiting to place an order besides giving a "1 minute" finger gesture and then turning his back. If you have time to wait 30-60 min, go for it. But this guy doesn't know how to run a food truck efficiently at all. Food was average. read more

Super delicious, fast, friendly, funny! I will make it back here for sure! Had the combo plate to start and went back for some of the special fries! So good! read more

Food truck time again after all that walk in the sun.. we mainly tried Arti Pasta and also got a falafel sandwich from Reem's from the streets of Jerusalem to the Street of Austin.. having lived in Dubai for more than a year, it was really a relief to get such an amazing falafel sandwich after such a long time, in fact the Italian food we ordered from the other truck was not worth it, but this falafel sandwich saved the day for us. Amazing amazing food truck! read more

Holy moly. So freaking good. Austin doesn't have much to offer in terms of authentic middle eastern (street food), but this is it. Best wrap I've had in the city, hands down. Will be back often! read more

Tony is the real deal. This is the most authentic and best Mediterranean food in Austin!

So good! We got some wraps and some rice plates. The falafel was herby, fresh and delicious, the beef and lamb plate was so tasty as was the tumeric rice and the side of cucumber yogurt sauce was so refreshing. Didn't take a picture because we were so hungry we just wanted to eat it. A south Austin gem and the man we interacted with in the truck was very friendly! read more
