Basically, it's the best food you can get of this kind in the area! The food WILL take 15 minutes to prepare, so be ready to wait if you are dining in & call in advance if you are getting food to go. Parking can be a little tight, as it is a shared parking lot similar to a strip mall layout. Prices are fair for the great food quality. Service dogs allowed. The seating is limited. Free water cups if you ask (for you and your service dog). There is homemade baklava on the counter worth indulging in as well as taking home to share. Enjoy!!!

We were greeted when we walked in. The staff was friendly and informative. The menu has a lot of offerings with sides and beverages. We were craving a shawarma pita. They have a pita wrap, a little different than what we used to. We were told that the ones that we usually have are called gyros, who knew ? The food was tasty. I had the beef shawarma pita wrap combo with French fries. My bride had a chicken kabob pita wrap. The beef had good flavor and the fries reminded me of the old " car hop" days. The chicken was okay maybe because there was too much BBQ sauce. Hard to tell. If you aren't in the mood for a pita they have other choices. I'll have to go back to check those out.

This place was a breath of fresh air for me. Great selection. I ordered take out but ate inside. Kind of pricey but worth it. I got the Tenderloin Kabab and Lamb kebab. Side bar I also learned that Schwarma means Shaved lol. Any way it came with Rice, lettuce tomatoes and onions on the side. I picked fries over the hummus which I'm sure would have been good also. It also came with 2 pieces of pita bread, nicely toasted. Granted i couldn't tell i was eating lamb, it all tasted like beef which should not have been the case. Lamb does not taste like beef, hubby tasted it and said the same thing. I even asked the cashier if they gave me lamb, she said yes but im not sure. eitherway very delicious. The kabab had peppers and onions nicely done. Also they no longer offer gyros which adds to my suspension that I didn't get lamb lol. I banged the shoe string/ straw like fries. I did ask for Tzatziki sauce. Which was also good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pacific Pita is amazing! The food was super tasty—fresh, flavorful, and just what I was craving. The service was quick and smooth, and placing my order was really easy. Everything came out perfect and right on time. I give them a full 5 stars for both the food and the service. Definitely coming back again!

I haven’t came here in 7 years when I worked in Murrieta. I used to come here for the chicken pizza and their pita wraps. The quality is still there. It tasted amazing. The only thing is that it does take a while to get your food but thats how you know you’re going to get the best fresh meal in town.
