People giving this place five stars must have started by getting a good buzz on at Austin Winery next door. :-)
When I went, around 8:30 on a Friday, they had already run out of wraps. I got a bowl instead. It turned out to be a thin layer of meat and a few vegetable strips just barely hiding a bowl full of rice. No sauce -- just rice and the barest minimum of meat and veggies. For $14.50, it felt like a rip-off.
The meat was supposed to be beef and lamb, but I couldn't tell one from the other. And due to the lack of sauce, it was dry and not very flavorful. The veggies helped a little, but they were gone after the first few bites.
I was very disappointed. I wished I had gone to one of the many other nearby food trucks.

Delicious & AUTHENTIC. 10/10 would recommend & will be back again. Do NOT skip the falafel. Support local businesses!!
Great falafel, lots of parsley which I thought really put it over the edge. Really loved the tahini sauce. Only thing I did wrong was that I didn’t order their hummus. Next time! Super friendly staff.

Reem’s has the best falafel, shawarma , hummus, and tabouli in Austin, hands down!
Beef and lamb shawarma plate with hummus and tabouli never disappoints.
Vegetarian options: great falafel and hummus and tabouli for vegetarians !
Delicious & incredibly fresh falafel, rice, tabouleh, hummus, shawirmah & pita. What a treat. South Austin doesn't have a ton of Mediterranean options; this is a GEM! ? And you can grab a beer at vacancy & some wine at the Austin winery. Perfection.
Excellent food! Fresh, good flavor, perfect for a quick lunch. I had the lamb and beef shawirmah

Best Arabic food in all of Austin a middle eastern I have not been able to find place Austin to take me back home till now
Tried this last night, everything was delicious!!! Coming from a middle eastern person, this is by far the best falafel I’ve had in Austin. Super authentic falafel. We also tried the beef and lamb shawarma which was spiced to perfection. Lots of fresh veggies in the wraps/plates. They use a thin flat bread so the food does not feel heavy at all. Highly recommend!

Reem’s has the best falafels in Austin! The rice is great. Hummus is great. Tabouli is yummy. I also love the frozen mint lemonade. This is definitely one of my fav food trucks in Austin.

One of the best Shawarma in Austin! If not the best.
It has an authentic Palestinian flare to it and as Lebanese myself I vouch for how great it is.
Highly recommended. Try the falafel as well. They are excellent specially fresh
