Kabob Express Fusion Truck
Master Critic Review
Kabob Express Fusion Truck
7.9
Kabob Express Fusion Truck parks along 7th Street serving a Mexi-terranean mashup of chicken kabobs, shawarma, gyro, and tacos to downtown offices and nearby apartments. The menu leans into handhelds—pita wraps, tacos, and burritos—while still offering hummus, falafel, and classic plates at budget-friendly prices. It’s less about seating and more about grabbing a flavorful, filling meal from a family-run truck that’s been working the area for years.

Insider tip: Check their social or review feeds for current parking times and specials.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along 7th Street and adjacent blocks; metered spots open up midday but can be tight during peak office hours.
Dress code: Ultra-casual—work clothes, gym wear, or streetwear are all normal for a food-truck stop.
Noise level: Moderate street noise from traffic and nearby construction, but still easy enough to hold a quick conversation while ordering.
Weekend wait: Light to moderate lines depending on events in the area—usually 5–10 minutes.
Weekday lunch: Peak rush can create 10–15 minute waits, but off-peak hours often have no line.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—falafel plates, hummus, and veggie wraps are available.
Vegan options: Limited—falafel and hummus options work, but customization may be needed.
Gluten-free options: Partial—protein plates (chicken, gyro, kabob) can be ordered without pita; no dedicated GF prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you want something extremely casual and focused on quick, affordable eats. It’s a food truck with no real seating, so not ideal for a traditional date experience.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no tables or reservations—this is walk-up ordering with grab-and-go food. Some nearby public seating may be available depending on time of day.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for quick bites—simple wraps, fries, and chicken plates work well for kids, though parents should note there’s no seating and limited space for strollers.
Best For
Better for: Highly affordable, flavor-forward handhelds with generous portions—stronger value and faster service than many brick-and-mortar Mediterranean spots nearby.
Skip if: You want sit-down comfort, indoor seating, or a quieter, more polished dining experience.
