Almeda @ Hepburn (between OST and 610), in the parking lot of a Texaco station
I'd seen this little truck several times when headed down Almeda, about a mile south of the intersection with OST where Gyro King and Abou Omar's halal stands hold forth, but it had never been open. It turns out it's open only in the evening. The sign on the side says Mediterranean Food, on the back one proclaims Halal Food, but shields on the hood and one of the cabinets on the rear give the Al-Arabi name.
I wanted to try the Koftah Halabi pictured but it's not available. In fact, none of the dishes pictured on the side of the truck are served anymore, only sandwiches/wraps made with either chicken or lamb. I think it's a very small menu.
I got what was called an Iraqi Kabob - lamb (gyro meat), freshly grilled, with grilled white onion and tomato, mixed salad greens including lettuce, red onion and more tomato I think, dressed with tahini sauce and a hot sauce that provided a pleasant heat, wrapped up in a 9" pita. It was a good sandwich, really hit the spot. I wish the truck was closer to me as I don't get over that way very often.
One of the other sauces visible in the window is just ketchup I understand; the fourth one I didn't inquire about.
