As a gentleman of Lebanese descent I was eager to see what this food truck dubbed Meat the Pita had in store for me. Having tasted the best of what Mediterranean food has to offer back in the homeland, a handful of restaurants that serve this type of food in the state of Arizona have failed to measure up to my expectations. After ingesting this truck's food, I feel confident to say that any other Mediterranean restaurant in the state can screw off. Meat the Pita is as authentic and delicious as it gets.
The first item I ordered in order to quell my stomach-burning hunger was the chicken shawarma sandwich. Additionally I ordered a side of French fries and some garlic sauce as a dip. So tasty was this sandwich I thought my taste buds were going to explode into Jupiter and back. The finery of toasted pita bread and marinated chicken went extraordinarily well with those crispy fries and creamy garlic sauce. But wait, there is more. The hunger dragon had yet to be slain, so I had requested another item on the menu as a weapon to get the job done and rescue the kingdom that was my body. That weapon was the beef shawarma sandwich. Let me tell you, my taste buds were simply overwhelmed with delectable intricacies. The garnishes, the tarator sauce, the marinated beef, all into an amalgamation of prodigious flavor. It truly felt like I was eating at a stand in Beirut. This pleasant experience was bolstered by the speed of service, as the wait time was below 10 minutes.
To reiterate, if you're looking for some tasty, authentic Lebanese food, Meat the Pita is highly recommended. I am not easily impressed by Mediterranean food here yet this food truck exceeded my expectations through the roof. Give it a shot, it's worth it. I give Meat the Pita 5 stars and I will certainly be returning for more.
