    Was very excited to try this all the way from Chicago but I was extremely disappointed! I was in line for 40 min, my food took another 30 min to get ready, I ordered 2 combos and they only gave me 1 combo and 1 sandwich ( I paid for 2 combos) I asked for extra sauce and was looked at like I had offended them, I even offered to pay if needed, you’d think waiting for an hour and half for your food you’ll get the right order and then maybe an extra sauce without having to fight them for it.. Also when I ended up opening the combo it had like a pinch of fries, I don’t know if that’s standard but $20 for a combo should come with enough fries I think.

    It's good food for a fast and late night place. I took it to go and had much higher expectations, but it's good. It didn't seem too clean of a place thought. Also, as i finished eating, i found a hair in food box. Normally i would give it a 1 star, but an giving them the benefit of doubt that hair can fall, but they should do better.

    The restaurant is very dirty, we could not find any clean table, no cleaning service provide; I wipped my table myself. I am wondering how the cleanliness situation could be in the kitchen!!!

    First time customer! The food was delicious! Had their special roll with the BBQ meat(Friday night only). The younger girl working was super helpful in helping me to decide what to order. A little pricey but it was delicious. THANK YOU, SHAWARMA LOCA !!

    Mix combo was delicious and the fruit cocktail too!! They treat customers like I would love that every business did!! It was our first time here, they took the time to give us free samples and explain the menu in detail. Food Was delicious, price was fair and they were constantly sweeping and cleaning the tables too which is a huge thing for me. Thank you 🙏🏽 will be back

    Ordered double meal and on chicken on Saturday it’s char grilled. Amazing and great food. I honestly think it’s the best I tried in the states. And some cocktails that were also great. Yes a bit pricey for the prices food but worth it. they had a DJ and music and owner was making sure we were good a couple times while we were eating and brought us some chicken slices to taste. Overall worth it to try it out.

    Let me start by saying the food is outstanding. But this restaurant needs improvements. There is a food truck in front that serves platters and the inside kitchen serves wrappers sandwiches. If you don't have cash you can order only sandwiches because the food truck doesn't take credit or debt. Even though the truck belongs to the same restaurant (it seems) one cannot pay for platters inside and get a receipt to get food from the truck. That's a really strange setup and an inconvenience. Also, on a busy Saturday night, every single napkin dispenser was empty and no paper at all in the bathroom. We liked the food and service, but this place needs work.

    When I was visiting LA @el_sheldon my Palestinian friend told me about this food truck in a gas station in Anaheim that serves his favorite shawarma in the United States. LA is so sprawled out that I didn't know when we'd make it but we ended up at Disney Land in Anaheim on the fourth of July and fortunately @shawarma_loca was open. Khaldoon did not lead me astray (he never does) because this was legitimately the best shawarma I ever had, let's break down why: 1. The bread: the bread here is nothing more than a fresh tortilla but man oh man did I love it. Slightly crisp on the outside, thin and slightly moist on the inside - texture along awesome taste on it's own had me sold from the beginning 2. The meat: pictured here is the chicken shawarma which is definitely the move, this shawarma is SO tender, juicy and overall flavorful idk how it can get better 3. The sauce: the sauce is what takes this to the next level, you have great bread, great meat, add in an awesome white sauce to make it moist, it's the perfect complement from a consistency and flavor perspective Bonus: fries here are awesome and are the crinkly kind which I love Guys - next time you're in LA make time to go to Anaheim because this shawarma is nuts. Idk what it is about gas station food trucks but when they hit, they really hit.

    This restaurant is worth the drive from SF Bay! I had always heard great things about their food, and it exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it and would definitely go back. In addition to the amazing food, their cocktails and juices were the best I've ever had it any where else in CA

    Shout out to Hamed for a fantastic first experience here. He was very helpful and explained the menu extremely well. Service aside, here is my overall feedback of the food. The wrap, fries, and coleslaw was fantastic. The chicken was well marinaded and the sauces were good I recommend the regular garlic sauce and the boom boom sauce ( it wasn't that spicy). The only let down was that the food was lacking another side to go with the wrap. Maybe something pickled or an acidic salad would really help. The meal started feeling very heavy and oily as you get towards the end of the wrap. Also it looks like the wrap used saj bread, but it felt more like a piece of tortilla. OVERALL, I will be back to try the beef wraps!

    I heard a lot about this restaurant from friends and family members, I took it up on myself to visit when in Anaheim. Shawarma Loca did not disappoint. Easy to find with the food truck packed in front of the restaurant. Great display however it made it hard to enter and exit the busy parking lot. Super cute building and ambiance. Amazing menu that offers authentic Jordanian Style Shawarma. Great portions Amazing host and welcoming owners. I recommend this restaurant if your in Southern California.

    I visited a the restaurant and I was blown away by the excellent service provided by the juice bar employee I think his name Mo or something like that. Despite it being late in the day, his sunny disposition and kind demeanor never wavered. Not only was he incredibly skilled at making delicious juices, but he also made sure to take the time to chat with each customer and make them feel welcome. It's rare to encounter someone with such a positive attitude and genuine kindness, and I left the restaurant feeling uplifted and grateful for the experience. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by this restaurant and enjoying a juice made by this wonderful employee.

    Amazing food we had the beef and chicken combo wraps and they were the best. It’s the best shawarma I’ve had in Orange County. The servers are very friends and helpful, I think it’s a family business that started out as a food truck and you can tell the care they put into their service and their food. They also really delicious fruit juices and smoothies that are made with fresh fruits that are worth trying. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

    I have to say this was a very unique meal, and in every way was it good. I have been to turkey and tried similar foods, but this was a really unique and delicious experience. The manager / owner was super open to discussing what I may like on the menu and made the experience very welcoming. My only regret is driving past it for so long without trying. Weekend nights get crazy here so if you want to sit and relax try weekday lunch

    Excellent Shawarma! I tried the combo which was chicken and beef. I loved the beef and the chicken was also so good. I highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Aimee E. 1 year ago on Google
    My friend recommended Shawarma Loca because of how great their meats are so I went there with another friend and we both loved it. We got the chicken shawarma and it came with fries which was pretty good as well along with this garlic dip. We both also got banana orange smoothie which was really good too. Were definitely coming back here again. Friendly service and awesome food.
