    New food truck in downtown Ridgefield! I heard about this place yesterday and had to get my butt down here to try it out! Downtown Ridgefield has several food trucks and all of them are fantastic so I had very high hopes for this new addition and it did NOT disappoint! I got a rice bowl with lamb. The lamb is a blended ground meat similar to gyro but chunks and not sliced. Was super flavorful and moist! Hummus and Tzatziki sauces were great. Serving size was generous! Enough to share if your not starving (we weren't so we shared). Friendly service, they were busy for just opening which was a good sign! We wandered and checked out tha seating areas while we waiting and it was quick for our pager to go off and we picked up our food! Everything on the menu looks fantastic - can't wait to come back and try more! This is a wonderful addition to our little downtown.

    We have a new food truck in Ridgefield and it's fantastic! Shawarma Refuge serves high quality, delicious Middle-Eastern food and the portions are very generous. Between the five of us, we tried the chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, lamb shawarma, falafel, dolmas (grape leaves), hummus and salad. Every item was great! Do yourself a favor and try Shawarma Refuge.

    1. Chicken Shawarma and 8. Beef Gyro

    Large portions and fast preparation/delivery. Absolutely delicious! Major flavor bomb

    The Baklava!!!

    Shawarma Refuge in Ridgefield seriously deserves the shoutout. I stopped by their food truck on 113 S Main Ave and was blown away -- not just by the food, but the whole experience. We tried both the beef and chicken shawarma and wow -- the meat was incredibly flavorful, juicy, and clearly high quality. The portions were huge, especially for the price. You can tell a lot of care goes into how they prepare everything. But what really surprised me was the baklava-- hands down the best I've ever had. Super fresh, packed with nuts, and just melts in your mouth. Not overly sweet, just perfect. Also want to mention Bassam the owner -- super friendly guy who really takes pride in what he does. He actually takes time to talk to customers and make sure everyone's happy. That kind of service is rare these days. All in all, if you're anywhere near Ridgefield and love Middle Eastern food, this place is a must. I'll definitely be going back . Shawarma Refuge

    Kabab Gyro. The meat is so tender, seasoned to perfection.

    Nothing to write home about. The shawarma is dull and the hummus is bitter. Pita house in battleground blows this place out of the water.

The food is glorious. And it was packaged so nicely and attractively! Plenty of limes on the side even though we didn't request additionals. I had the Tres Quesobirria tacos and each was so packed with delicious beef! The bouillon was incredibly flavorful. I could only eat one, but one of my guests had one of mine and liked it very much. I had the last one just heated in the microwave the next day and it was almost as good as the first day. My husband and another guest both had the carne asada tacos and liked them. My husband is picky so I was relieved that he was satisfied - he actually used the words "really good" which sort of amazed me. Another guest had the chicken taco salad which was generously adorned with probably an entire avocado, and quite a lot of chicken. It was artfully prepared. Sides of rice and beans were even special; tasty and appreciated. I will be making a trip to La Catrina in person sometime very soon.

I also got to sample some really amazing tequila while i was there for pretty cheap. They carry Acre Largo and the G4 lineup so I was very happy. The salsas were house made and of the five we tried, every one was really good. I think our favorite was the roasted tomato salsa that comes with the chips. The service was quick, the food was quick, and the decor is upscale. After the meal i had the pleasure of talking with all the staff. The cook works at the Ridgefield farmers market as well during the season. The woman i talked to was telling me about tequila tastings with some amazing distillers. And our server was a lot of fun and did a great job. The combination of good food, good conversation, and good tequila really won me over on this place. I hope i get back soon to try more of the menu.
