“This is a little jewel in Rio Rancho! The food was authentic and FRESH! From the appetizers (spanakopita) to the chicken schwarma, lamb and beef schwarma combo, lentil soup and vegetable schwarma sandwich.
Happily filling! Oh and the baklava just melted in our mouths!
What a lovely meal!
Would definitely come again should I come through this way!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😋 the shack is FIRE!
I didn’t think it was possible to be better than the Eubank location but I tried the San Mateo shack because it’s closer to home. I was a little worried I’d be disappointed as Eubank shack is FIRE. Well to my happy surprise the San Mateo shack is even more 🔥🔥🔥 FIRE. Lucky 🍀 me as I won’t need to drive as far, second time this week. I’ve tried the falafel and the spicy bacon gyro. I wasn’t a fan of the baklava, too
Much cinnamon it was like a churro baklava, maybe it was on purpose and others probably love it. It wasn’t enough to lower my rating. I still say go Now! Gyro shack (either location) is THE place for Greek Fusion in the 505.“

“Always delicious. My only stop when in Albuquerque...Thank you Pars for your delicious cuisine and for supporting The Art of the Belly Dancer. God bless you in 2023 and always“

“lamb Gyro Plate with the salad, and rice was very well worth the money. It was great quality and authentic Mediterranean. Would highly recommend.“

“Highly recommend ordering their meals. They are delicious very tasty and plentiful. You will not be disappointed.“

“I had an amazing experience at Shawarma Express! The food was absolutely delicious — I ordered the chicken shawarma salad, and it was packed with flavor. The chicken was perfectly grilled, tender, and well-seasoned. The garlic sauce was rich and creamy, and added the perfect finishing touch to the meal.
Portion size was generous, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The presentation was neat and clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. You can really taste the love in every bite.

Highly recommend this place for anyone craving quality Mediterranean food at a great price. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! 🍽️🔥💯“
