Shawarma Laguna

mobile review
Fantastic!!! What a high quality shawarma spot… the garden salad and esp the home-​made dressing are delicious. All the regular shawarma foods are also very fresh. The potatoes and garlic sauce are worth it. I go here at least once every week and a half.

Gets the job done! I’ve been going here for a year now as it is close and convenient for me and I have to say his shawarmas are good. Whether you have a meeting coming up in the afternoon in a small meeting room with poor ventilation or you just feel there is a vampire stalking you then he has the garlic sauce for you! Definitely on the strong side but good for the potatoes. The shawarma meat looks fresh and it hasn’t disappointed me yet so I will be back. If you already know that the seriously dated appearance of this place won’t leave you awake at night with flashbacks and cold sweats then definitely go there, the food is good.

I used to frequent this place in the summer, I remember it being fresh with quality ingredients. I visited it again in September and again in October and it was not near as good as I remembered. After I went for lunch today at The Corner (which was awful, see my review), I decided I was still really hungry and this place was right in front of me so I figured maybe with it being closer to summer the food was better again? I dunno.
Another thing I liked about this place last summer was their hot sauce, it was like a spicy delicious paste they’d add to your shawarma and it tasted amazing. I came in, ordered, the guy didn’t ask what I wanted on it he just started putting toppings on. I asked for some of that delicious paste and he informed me it was a special side order and I couldn’t get in on my shawarma. He also seemed really really annoyed when i was asking him about some of their freshly squeezed juices. At that point i just wanted to pay and get out.
He didn’t toast my shawarma so it was ice cold, the lettuce was also mushy and none of the ingredients seemed fresh. The worst part though, maybe 2 minutes later I started to get this horrible sick feeling in my stomach. I ended up getting really sick for a few hours and I’m finally feeling well enough to write a review on this place.
My experience today was a 1 star but I’ve rated this place a 2 because I know it can be good.
