Shawarma Guys
5525 Jackson Dr La Mesa, CA 91942
We arrived just before the lunch time rush on Saturday.
The staff is super friendly and helpful and offered free samples of their gelato straight from the machine. Think the hazelnut flavor was my personal favorite.
Seating is comfortable with the best seats along the wall. Since they are super cushioned.
I noticed they have a lot of new menu items since my last visit (to a different location). With that in mind I ordered the chicken cheesesteak and the wagu beef egg rolls for an appetizer. Drinks, I initially started with a water, then decided on the Julian hard cider near the end.
I really enjoyed the cheesesteak, just wish it had a tad more cheese. As I do love cheese. If they gave me a small side bowl full of cheese I would have dipped my sandwich into it. The egg rolls were wonderful, the perfect crunch of the outer layer of egg roll, then filled with tender wagu beef. They do have a dipping sauce which I tried and is very tasty. However a tiny bit too spicy for me. So I was longing for another sauce to use as a dip.
Overall everything was just terrific. I’ll have to return for a bowl of that delicious gelato. I was just too full on this trip.
Thank you to Shawarma Guys & our community manager Hannah for such a lovely event.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs. If you'd like to send me a message or comment, please do so at; maggie@hungryones.com We just celebrated our 14th Anniversary this October 2016!! So exciting!! 2015 A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting. Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.
