I am a sucker for Halal/Mediterranean food; and when I found out about all these amazing flavors…read morecoming from a mobile food truck, I had to see and taste what all the fuss was about. This takes me to "812 Grill" which has slowly gained a small cult following through social media since opening back in mid-2024. Located in a large outdoor strip mall on busy Watt Ave in North Highlands, 812 Grill is tucked smack dab in between Freedom Park Dr and Karl Dr. Parking was easy to find as there aren't a whole lot of businesses close to where they are located. I came here during the afternoon on Sunday 1/18/2026 at around 4:30pm. For those wondering, they are open for business Tuesday through Sunday from 11am-9pm and closed on Monday. You also have the option of placing your order online for pickup or delivery (DoorDash, Uber Eats, & Postmates). Since I did neither, I ordered my food the old fashioned way and that was at the ordering station area of the truck. I went with what was arguably their most popular item, the "Chicken Shawarma". They carry these in chicken as well as beef while you can also opt fora complete meal with fries. In addition to the Shawarma, they also specialize in a Halal-style cheeseburger as well as raptor fries (available in chicken or beef), wings, chopped cheese, and several lemonade flavors. And when my shawarma was ready, the pager they provide you sets off a chirping beep. Total time it took from when I ordered to when I got my food was about 10 minutes. After making the 15-minute drive back home, I unwrapped this thing and was ready to judge how good this was. As you can see from the photo, the size of this thing is massive as it is roughly about a foot long. And after the first bite, I enjoyed the seasoned and tender pieces of grilled chicken as they definitely did not disappoint. This wrap also included lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and the signature sauce. The only reason for a deduction in the rating is that it was a little soggy which probably tastes a LOT better as soon as it is handed to you but nonetheless, it was above average. All in all, "812 Grill" was well worth the price and at $11.99 for a ton of food, you can't go wrong. The young man that took my order was polite while the truck was easy to identify, even from busy Watt Ave. With excellent tasting food, reasonable prices, above average service, and generous hours of operation, I am giving 812 Grill a respectable four star rating.

I ordered the Hawaiian Fried Chicken Chunks, along with a side of Mac Salad and Cole Slaw. The chicken chunks were perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, with a delightful Hawaiian-inspired marinade that gave them a tropical kick. The Mac Salad was creamy, with just the right amount of tang, and had a satisfying, homemade feel. The Cole Slaw was crisp and refreshing, though it was a bit on the plain side compared to the other dishes. What really stood out was the generous portion size--it's hard to believe such a hearty feast is only $19.00. I was so pleased with the amount of food; I enjoyed half yesterday and saved the rest for today, and both times I left feeling fully satisfied. Overall, it was a fantastic meal, and I'll definitely be returning to try more from JoJo's food truck!

Of note, the salsa rojo at the self-serve condiment station carries quite the spicy sting. Next is the authenticity; they display their entire cooking process from homemaking the tortillas to serving the tacos fresh off the grill. It's occupied by two employees hustling away and running operations like a well-oiled machine. Despite arriving at the same time as two other customers, I had my order ready in 7 minutes. Last is the value. Part of what made my experience so enjoyable is only paying $12 for 4 exceptional tacos (Zelle accepted). Blink and you'll miss it. The stand is set up in the parking lot of a boarded up business immediately off the main road. Get ready to turn right or you'll have to make a U-turn.

Service was fast;however, I was surprised by the price of $33 for 1 pastor burrito, 1 pastor vampirio and 3 tacos. One of my gripe is if a place doesn't list their prices so I'm basing off my knowledges from previous reviews and I had assumed the tacos would be $3 each. But onto the food: Asada taco: beef, chewy and tough but substantial Pastor taco + pastor burrito: the best cut of meat. It was hot when I got it and it was very good. Well marinated. Pollo taco: you can probably skip this, the chicken is a little bit plain and dry Vampirio: similar to a tiny quesadilla. Two crispy tortillas with cheese + meat sandwich in between Overall the place is decent if you're getting the pastor meat. I do like the self service but I wish the price of the items were more transparent
