Craving Moroccan food?
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the top Moroccan spots around San Antonio, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to meet your needs.
1. Moroccan Bites
Topping the list is Moroccan Bites. Located at 5714 Evers Road, it’s the highest rated Moroccan restaurant in San Antonio, boasting four stars out of 305 reviews on Yelp.
Featured in season 12 of Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” Moroccan Bites was painted as a family-run restaurant. Fieri also raved about the eatery’s couscous, according to MySA. On the menu, expect to see traditional Moroccan platters, sandwich options and desserts.
Yelper Tom A. wrote, “Best homemade Moroccan food I’ve had … super homey and welcoming. We ordered the lamb tagine with apricot and pasilla-stuffed chicken, which takes about 25 minutes to prepare, but definitely worth it. Their prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of food and service. Highly recommend.”
2. Wheelie Gourmet
Next up is Wheelie Gourmet, situated at 13800 Jones Maltsberger With 4.5 stars out of 45 reviews on Yelp, the food truck has proven to be a local favorite. Featured in San Antonio Magazine‘s Ultimate Guide to Food Trucks, Wheelie Gourmet is part of the city’s exploding food truck scene.
The Moroccan fusion menu offers gourmet flatbread pitas, including the Original with gyro meat, tzatziki sauce and feta; or the Chicka, Chicka Bang Bang! with slow-cooked spiced Moroccan chicken, saffron, olives, preserved lemons and feta.
Yelper Anna R. said, “I ordered the zaalouk as a vegetarian option: it consisted of eggplant, which was strewed with tomatoes, onions and other unidentifiable, but very delicious, vegetables. This is served on some seasoned slaw and grilled zucchini and garnished with their very own Wheelie Gourmet pickled red onions.”
3. Moroccan Cuisine
Moroccan Cuisine, located at 7959 Fredericksburg Road, Suite 215, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the hookah bar and Moroccan spot 4.5 stars out of 41 reviews.
On the menu, expect dishes like the Moroccan Fish Plate with tilapia seasoned and marinated in sharmoula, served with basmati rice, salad and lemons; the Kefta Plate with seasoned ground beef, onions, parsley and olive oil, with basmati rice and side salad; and the house special Moroccan Couscous served on Fridays.
Yelper Joseph P. wrote, “The owner was incredibly friendly. He gave us a lot of information about the food and after the meal followed up with some information about Morocco, which made it a more of an experience than a meal. … We got [our] plates and were looking for a knife to cut into the meat. Turns out it fell apart with little to no effort from my fork. … Overall, this place is a diamond in the rough and I would recommend this to anyone in San Antonio.”
