This is a food truck set up outside a liquor store. (Incidentally, the liquor store is excellent. Definitely check it out.) We were lucky they were not too busy when we pulled up but after we ordered, they got swarmed. Or shawarmed, perhaps. We tried the beef and chicken shawarma plate (which comes with fresh pita, hummus, rice, and garlic sauce), and the chicken cream chip with comes with breaded chicken breast. Both dishes came with these little cups of some kind of red spicy sauce that was delicious. The shawarma plate is $20 and the chicken cream chip plate is $19. It ain't cheap but this is high quality food and you get a lot of it. I know I am supposed to swoon whenever the word "wagyu" is dropped but honestly, I thought the rice was the star of the show. It had some type of cream in it that made it rich and delicious. The shawarma plate was very filling. I actually liked the chicken a little more than the wagyu beef so maybe my taste buds are off. The breaded chicken was excellent and very tasty. Parking is tight. I am not sure if the liquor store's parking spots are supposed to be used for the food truck but I saw people use them that way. Street parking is very rough in this area so good luck. Well worth a visit.
We heard about Shawarma guys from YT featuring best food spots in San Diego. We went to their South Park branch. We were initially aiming for the crispy shawarma however only Mira Mesa and La Mesa does it. So I guess that's next on our list! The wraps were unexpectedly big! This is probably the biggest wrap I ever had! Generous with meat and veggies. Their wagyu egg rolls are definitely must have! Falafel fries is really good too! All of these perfectly paired with their garlic sauces. My favorite is spicy lemon garlic! The staff are very knowledgeable about their menu. It's a food truck set up and there's mini standing tables for alfresco dining. SG was definitely lived up to the title #1 restaurant in the country on Yelp!
Came here on a Wednesday night around 8:30pm. I ordered online in advance and just waited outside for my order. There were plenty of parking spots around this time. Not really an ambience since there's not much as far as a dining room. There are a couple of cocktail tables where you could eat. After ordering online at 20:20pm, my estimated pick up time was 8:39pm and got the order at 9:03pm. The cashier informed me their chicken is taking a while and added extra time to the wait. It probably would've been faster if they weren't so backed up. I ordered the Wagyu beef and chicken shawarma plate for me and my wife to share. I added 3 falafels and pita bread on top of it. The food was still fresh when I got home 15 mins later. Everything was good and just enough for us two. Also, I'm not sure why there's a range of where they may be located on Yelp since this is just a food truck that seems to be permanent at this location.
I would give this 4.5 stars if I could. It was good! For what it is. It didn't completely blow me away. I have had better shawarma from some random guy in NYC. I have had a lot of wagyu, and if no one told me this was wagyu, I wouldn't have known. It was like regular steak. The whole experience would be better if you could eat it fresh and not take it to go. The egg rolls and fries got a little soggy on our 3 minute drive to the park. I bet they would have been amazing if they were served on a plate. They do have e a couple tables, but they are standing only. The sauces are REALLY good. The jalapeño hummus is super good! You can sub it out on a plate. It's a cool truck and San Diego needs more of these types of trucks. It is filling and worth going. At least once.
We grabbed lunch while we were in town and I remember this place had great vegan options. It was hard to decide between the vegan chicken cutlet or vegan cheese steak but since it's rare to find a vegan cheese steak, I went with that. I'd normally get the breaded vegan chicken cutlet and honestly, it's cooked to perfection but I needed to try something new. My husband got the wagyu beef schwarma plate and loved it. We shared the baklava and got a side of fries as well. Our food came out quickly after ordering. Overall, really good and it hit the spot!
Stoped by shawarma guys, and it was very yummy! It's a classic shawarma sandwich, the meat was very juicy and seasoned well. The sandwich itself isn't filled with a bunch of toppings, just pickles and turnips. I personally enjoy a more simple sandwich, but definitely worth coming by and trying! People were super nice and helpful, location is super easy to find.
Shawarma Guys is serving Mediterranean food from their food truck on grape Street that also has a no frills high-top table and tent to enjoy the food there. SERVICE Order ahead online or in person. Staff calls out names. FOOD 5/5 Wagyu Beef Shawarma Egg Rolls (2pcs) So flavorful and freshly made - do not skip the garlic sauce! Other ingredients include secret sauce, caramelized onions, jalapeños, and white American cheese wrapped in a crispy wonton blanket.
The original Shawarma Guys food truck still operates to this day. One of our friends insists this location tastes the best so I had to drop by to see if that was truly the best. Had their usual Shawarma bowl (5/5) and Wagyu Beef Shawarma Fries (6/5). I couldn't tell the difference between this location versus other Shawarma Guys stores which was good since that proved their quality control was on-point. My partner has me now hooked on Shawarma Guys. Their food was Halal and good for the soul!
This feast feeds a family! Look at all that protein. This family tray was perfect for a get together night in. The falafel was my favorite! Paired with the garlic sauce, chef's kiss.
We got the half beef and half chicken plate to try. Trust me when I say--stick with the beef. The chicken was good too, but it wasn't as tender or flavorful as the beef. I'd definitely come back again. There's so much flavor, and everything pairs really well together. I especially enjoyed the green mixture they served on the side--it had cilantro, onion, and tomato (I think?). It was citrusy and added the perfect fresh crunch to the rice and beef. We also got the falafel, but that was a miss. It was dry, hard, and lacking in flavor. We couldn't even finish it. I'd skip that one.
I ordered the Wagyu Beef and Chicken Shawarma plate $20, which came with basmati rice, hummus, tabouli, and some pita bread. The meat was tender and the tabouli added a balance of freshness that complimented the richness of the meat and hummus. I recommend adding a side of their garlic sauce for $1 extra to dip your pita bread into. Their Wagyu beef shawarma egg rolls and chicken shawarma egg rolls are a good appetizer as well. We really enjoyed them. Tip: Kids eat free with a paid adult entree! What a nice bonus. They don't sell drinks but you can buy drinks next door at the liquor store. They make your order fresh to order so allow 5-10 minutes depending on the line.
This used to be a 5-star place for us, but the food quality has really gone downhill. The last 2 times we've been, the sandwich/wrap just falls apart. I just purchased this 15 minutes ago and the bread is so stale.

The Vegan Shawarma here blew my mind! I heard about this spot that was making some amazing veggie based middle eastern dishes and wanted to try it out. I love that they have creative vegetarian options and don't solely have falafel like most places I have visited. Here's the food breakdown of everything I tried: Vegan Shawarma Plate $20 (my fav) Vegan cream chop pita sandwich $16 Falafel Fries $13 Vegan Shawarma Egg Rolls $11 Pita Chips $3 (so crispy & well seasoned) Baklava $7 PS - I visited the South Park food truck, but they also have locations in La Mesa & Mira Mesa. This spot was featured on food network & was previously voted #1 restaurant in the country on yelp! Those are high standards that Shawarma Guys lives up to! read more

Mediterranean food is easily one of my top 5 cuisines. I wasn't sure what to expect from a food truck, so I've passed on this place a few times. Finally gave them a shot. The wagyu beef shawarma? Flavor bomb. Tender, juicy, melt in your mouth beef that made me experience a moment of euphoria. The hummus? Creamy, silky, so good and so smooth it felt like it was hitting on me :) Now let's not forget about the Wagyu beef shawarma egg rolls? These little bundles of fried goodness slapped harder than an Asian mom on report card day. Service is quick, portions are decent, and everything tastes freshly made. Shawarma guys will be on my repeat list. Give them a go and see for yourself. Welp! Onto the next! read more

I've been to the Mira Mesa location and I loved! But this food truck location... questionable, especially for the og... me and my friend got the beef and chicken plate, and the chicken plate AND WE BOTH FELT NAUSEOUS AND STOMACH ACHE IMMEDIATELY AFTER ! Really disappointed. + you can tell from the picture. I barely pushed the food around and there's ZERO rice ??? For $19 not worth for the amount or the sickness. read more
My favorite shawarma spot in San Diego. We always get the wagyu beef and chicken shawarma combo. Portions are large, easily making 2 meals for myself. Both meats are good, but if you're debating between the two I'd choose the beef. I'm not too much of a hummus person, only when I get this plate as it's fresh and smooth. Staff is always friendly. It can take a bit of time for your food if it's busy but it's worth the wait. read more
Tucked behind the Bottle House liquor store, this spot is easy to miss, but totally worth seeking out. I found it thanks to Yelp and was surprised to learn Guy Fieri had been here! I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Wrap and Lemon Cream Chicken Fries. Both were absolutely delicious. The chicken was juicy, the wrap was crisp, and the fries were seasoned perfectly with tender, katsu-style breaded chicken. I just wish there was more of that tangy lemon garlic cream sauce. Fun tip: don't skip the garlic and chili sauces. The chili sauce is tangy, slightly spicy, and refreshing. Service was fast (only a 5-minute wait), but note that parking is tight and there are only two tables so most people grab takeout. I was lucky to snag a seat and eat on the spot. I plan to come back for the wagyu shawarma wrap, lemon garlic wings, and shawarma eggrolls next time! Food: 10/10 fresh, hot, juicy, and delicious Customer Service: 7/10 it's a food truck so it's fast and efficient Parking: 5/10 street parking mainly, only two parking spots available in front of the liquor store. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this food spot, but my experience was that it was overly hyped. I got the chicken and beef shawarma plate for about $20 and it really didn't have a huge portion of meats. I felt the meat was a bit dry and could've used more sauce. There was a small drizzle of the garlic sauce on top of the meat. The tabouleh and rice were ok. Hummus was average, but the sides of pita were extremely dry and not even warm (although they were served in foil). My husband got the beef shawarma pita and also said it was just average. I liked the falafel, but overall I was disappointed in my dining experience. Note they do not have any seating and are located in a liquor store parking lot. They have two small bar type tables to stand at, but those were taken on a Friday evening. We waiting about 10 minutes for our food after ordering without there being a line. The menu also differed from what was on their website, so note they didn't have any bowls (on plate entrees) on the menu in person. There are other Mediterranean spots I prefer over visiting here again. read more

Our first time trying Shawarma Guys, we went to the new Mira Mesa location that just opened up. Unfortunately, we did not have the best experience there with the taste of food. After the owner had reached out to recomp our meal, we decided to try out the original food truck location and give it another try! * Wagyu Beef & Chicken Shawarma Plate - 8/10 (this time around, the beef shawarma was actually really good. it was flavorful & juicy. this was a pleasant surprise & was what we were expecting the beef to taste like the first time around. the chicken however, was still on the dry side. the hummus was very yummy. it was light but also packed a nice punch & went really well with the shawarma. the tabouli was very fresh & added a nice little kick. the pita was dry & cold. overall, this was better than our previous experience, but would not come back for the plate) * Wagyu Beef Shawarma Egg Rolls - 9.5/10 (this was fried to perfection with the perfect crunch on the outside. the beef was soooo juicy & packed great flavor. the white sauce was perfect to cut through the oiliness. would come back again just for these!) read more

Finally checked this food truck off my must try list and it didn't disappoint! Ambience: This is definitely more of a grab and go spot. There are only a couple of high top tables, so I'd recommend ordering ahead and picking up your food. Parking can be a bit tricky, but the truck is conveniently located in a lot shared with a convenience store where you can grab a drink since they don't sell beverages themselves. Service: There was a small line when we arrived, but ordering was quick and straightforward. The food took a little time to come out but nothing unreasonable. Food: Let's get to the good part, the food. First up was the egg roll, which was stuffed with wagyu beef and absolutely packed with flavor. The sauce paired perfectly with the rich meat. I also tried the wings and they were super flavorful and well seasoned. The plate came with rice, hummus, and tabouli, all incredibly fresh and well balanced. You can really taste the quality in each bite. Overall: Yes, it's a bit on the pricey side but you're getting wagyu beef and generous portions so it feels worth it. I will definitely be back to try a wrap or pita sometime soon. read more

Best food truck in South Park! I ordered the chicken cream chop which hit the spot after a long workday. The chicken was tender moist and topped with a delicious garlic sauce. The rice was fluffy and the hummus was creamy. Service was quick. No seating, but it was no problem since I live nearby. read more

Food is so good. We didn't realize there is no seating. Some pictures on Yelp must be another location because they show some tables and chairs. Not this location....we ended up eating at the bus stop. read more

just realized I don't have a single picture from this place even though I've been here so many times. it ALWAYS hits the spot! last week I tried the beef wagyu pita for the first time and it was so good - not too heavy on the sauce which is perfect and the beef was super tender. the fries have tons of flavor and the texture is spot on. truly think they deserve the yelp recognition, and happy to see them expand. hopefully the quality stays the same :) read more

Huge portions, falafel is a great deal here but could have used a little more tahini sauce. Or get some hummus or tzatziki sauce to help it along. Pita bread with my platter was the only disappointment, seemed dried out or old. One of the two. Also had a Chicken wrap which was done well. If I came back, I'd order the falafel for sure. read more
