King Mediterrano - Torrance

Think back to your 20s, the worst hangover you've ever had. Now think of the cure. 


If you lived in SoCal back then too, it would look exactly like the Chicken Shawarma Nachos. This Medi-Mex fusion creates unique concoctions like these crazy-good seasoned pita chips topped with chunks of chicken, rivers of sauce, and a handful of olives and tomato. It's a fun dish, perfect for watching a game but leaves you feeling a little less gross. 


The Falafel Plate is a bit more wholesome, 14 balls of falafel on a bed of white rice, invading both the baba and the hummus. The baba doesn't taste like eggplant and the hummus has too much lemon. Still, 14 falafels for under $14 was enough food for almost four days. 


Gotta get my Gyro Meat - they make theirs with beef and lamb. Even the side is so much, and I love how thinly sliced it is. 

They're a step above fast food and a smidge below fast-casual, but they're far from gourmet. Still, the food is fun, and the helpings are huge, especially at this price point, and in the days of inflation, it's pretty great to get multiple meals at this price.
