The review is for a take out order so the service and atmosphere are not rated. The beef shawarma sandwiches were delicious which is why Geronimo is getting two stars versus one. As stand alones they would've been 5 stars. Unfortunately the Greek salad we ordered was terrible. There was no feta cheese which is the 5.00 difference between this salad and the green salad. The bell pepper, onion and cucumber were cut to a thick chunky stew size which is unpleasant in a salad, the amount of actual lettuce under the thick stew cut veggies was negligible and a couple pieces were brown on the ends, one onion piece was the root end (see photos) and the olives were not a Kalamata type but rather Spanish olives which could be excused if it weren't literally called a "Greek salad" on the menu. Wouldn't have ordered it if I'd known about the olives because in my opinion Spanish olives are inedible. And for 15.00! It's wild because the shawarma sandwiches were so good and reasonably priced. Very disappointing as we live in a place that has no Mediterranean cuisine yet we can find a Greek salad with feta, kalamata olives and vegetables sliced to salad consistency in "American" styled restaurants.

Outstanding!!! I came on a Friday morning right before 10. I was greeted warmly and informed that they served the whole menu all day, not just breakfast in the morning. I ordered the lamb shawarma. This is the best meal I’ve had since moving to Tucson 1.5 years ago. Everything on the plate was beautiful, and it all tasted delicious. It was exactly what I was looking for. 5 Stars all day long, I promise.

Food tasted great, fresh, well plated/displayed and healthy variety. Service was so friendly. The wait took a bit but that’s expected because it was made to order and displayed with care. Would absolutely come back! The area around here has quaint shops and walkable to explore local scene.
