Gyro King

I stopped by this food truck on my way in to wine tasting by the Old Sugar Mill. After all the wine my mom mentioned the taco truck out behind the building, while I redirected her attention back to the gyro truck I saw walking in. I was greeted by a very friendly man, who i asked promptly what his favorite was. With no hesitation he replied with «lamb gyro». I told him Ill have one of those, when his brother stepped in and smiled as he shouted his suggestion. I couldn’t decide which one, but the smiling brother insisted as he was eager to throw something together for me and make me happy. I told him to make whatever he wanted and i would eat it. He did not let me down. This was probably the best Gyro I have ever had. The meats are perfect, the sauce is to die for. If you have not tried this yet, or are hesitant to try. I highly reccomend going here. It is worth every ounce of effort and spare change. I will be returning here very shortly for this addictive grub. Thanks again for the good suggestions boys!

Was really excited to try this foodcart because I LOVE gyros and saw all the great reviews… These were good but nowhere near great. If you’re looking for the best gyro in Sacramento go to Petra in midtown.

on Thursdays Gyro King was taking over one of the food stalls at my work. The lamb giro was tender delicious, and right on the spot. For the price you can’t go wrong. I will look forward to eating the gyro again on Thursdays! The chicken and rice plate looks interesting as well. Friendly folks and yummy food!

LOVE this food truck! I can’t wait to have it back at my work again. The lamb gyro (spicy) is amazing and extremely filling. The lamb over rice plate is good too, depending on how you wants your carbs (rice or pita). And of course the falafel is very good — with a crunchy outside and spicy, yummy inside!

Where I work we have a new system where outside vendors can prepare food in our cafeterias and I tried these guys out because I never turn down the chance to try a good Gyro and theirs is great! I love the addition of the Sriracha and like how the meat is cut. The veggies are very fresh and the Tzatziki is perfect! Whenever these guys come around that’s what I’ll be having.

Tried the Gyro King at one of the weekly mini-​Mofo meet ups… and I’m glad I did! Went with the chicken King Gyro, and I have to say I felt full like a king when I finished it… great pita jam packed with meat and over flowing with produce and sauce.
This was a two-​handed, 4 napkin lunch that left me happy and satisfied. I have to say that it was a bonus to get a dollar off my purchase for paying with cash and I’m glad I had taken a break from carrying nothing but plastic for a change.
I’ll definitely be back to hold court with the Gyro King again the next time I see them and I have an empty stomach.

I see the food trucks by my job every Friday & been wanting to venture out in trying the food truck scene. I have gone a couple of times & my previous experiences prior to the Gyro King were not impressive at all. Then miracles do happen! I stumble across the Gyro King food truck! I ordered the lamb over rice (spicy) & I can’t begin to describe how delicious this was! Worth every penny!
You get a large portion in this meal. It comes with a side salad, rice that is cooked perfectly (fluffy & flavorful), a generous portion of lamb which is tender & moist. On top of all that it is drizzled w/​a taziki sauce that is zesty & refreshing!
I ate every last bit. I do not like to eat the same thing on a routine however, every Friday I look for their truck! I am officially addicted!

I read a lot of hype about this place from fellow Unilocalers. Personally, I’ve been looking for a place that serves the infamous «Chicken over Rice» dish that I discovered from another food truck at UC Davis. So when I heard that Gyro King serves Chicken over Rice and that they would be in the vicinity of my work place, I had to try it.
There was almost no line. Just one person ahead of me who was waiting for their order. It took almost 20 minutes for them to make my food. What? Why does it take that long? A little disappointed with the service.
The flavor of the rice was interesting. I kinda liked it. The chicken was alright. The flavor was different that the one I’m used to. Overall it was different yet the same. Not sure I fell in love with it. Also the lettuce was limpy like it wasn’t fresh.
If I run into Gyro King again I would probably try their pita instead.

Have tried the lamb/​beef gyro over rice multiple times. It comes with salad, and generous portions of tsatziki and sriracha sauces. Gyro was perfectly cooked and was tasty. The rice was also good. Portions were large and filling. All in all, it was good value for money.
I have tried chicken also, but liked gyros better

At Food truck mania, 3÷28÷14 and got the gyro, friend got the falafel, and her son got the chicken gyro. Hugely disappointed! All the wraps basically we’re just vegetables and barely any meat. I felt like the old lady on the Wendys commercial… Where’s the beef?!? Plus the wraps were expensive. I figure you’d get more meat if you’re paying that much. Stay away until they decide to put more meat in. I even have pics!

I’ve had the chicken over rice plate many times and love it! :) The chicken is so tender and flavorful and the rice is fluffy and delicous. The white sauce completes the dish with creamy perfection! The have great service too!

Yummy falafel over rice. 3 large falafel, lots of browned rice & sauce. Queen fries very good. Feta cheese made the rice. Spicy chicken with extra spicy. Be sure to get a water or drink.

I love that Gyro King shows up near where I work now. I kinda plan my Wednesdays around it!
The food is still great; to me, can’t go wrong with the lamb gyro (no tomatoes for me). And as last time, a drink is included in the price of your entrée dish, as in a sandwich or full meal… don’t by a side of hummus and expect the drink to be included.
I’m gonna try the King Fries next: fries with lamb or chicken meat, tzatziki sauce, sriracha, feta cheese… doesn’t that just sound yummers? You can also get that without meat, called Queen Fries.
This is a family-​run outfit, and I gladly support that. I Iove gyros, but they also offer rice plates or salads if you’re looking for somthing else. I’ve had great tasting food each and every single time I’ve tried this food truck, and don’t expect that to change, as they are consistent in food and service. Love it! Give ‘em a try at least once, if you haven’t already :)

These guys are great! if you pay cash you get a discount :-) For $ 6 you can get a gyro and a soda which I think is a deal. They will do a chicken/​lamb mix if you want and you can always ask them to up (or decrease) the spice level. The king fries are also quite good (though a bit messy). Overall one of my favorite food trucks that comes to CalPERS due to taste and price.

Normally I would not expect high quality in food trucks. But since I kept driving by the truck yesterday and try some. The lamb is amazing! It’s soft and tender almost to the melt in your mouth kind of way.
I got their king fries and I must said l say these fries are super flavorful ! A right amount of spicy with tons of flavor !
If you see them make sure to stop by!

I’m not usually a food truck guy but these guys know what they’re doing when it comes to gyros. The lamb is awesome, the rice is perfect, and everything is spiced and customized to order. My favorite is the falafel as it is by far the best I’ve ever had.
Great job Gyro King!!!

Oh my God, Becky, look at that falafel!
My husband scanned the menus of the food trucks participating in Sacto Mofo’s Trucktoberfest in West Sac and were pleasantly surprised to see the always veg friendly falafel at Gyro King. We both started with miso burgers at the Chairman but my husband’s stomached roared on and he decided to get a falafel as a second course.
I quickly snapped a pic when he sat down and am glad I did as it was quickly devoured. Halfway through, he offered a bite and I was hooked. Insanely delicious– so savory that I was craving more but before I could ask, he had nearly finished. Luckily, I got the very end of it but I am totally craving a full one right now.
The pita was warm and thick and the chickpeas were excellently spiced with crisp and fresh veggies. My only complaint (along with my husband’s) was that they went a little heavy on the tzatziki and when we go back I am going to have them go easy on the sauce.
Really really delicious and I can’t wait to go back and order light tzatziki and bump their score up to a 5!

Wow, I’m hoping these guys come back to the 2020 W. El Camino location again soon. Had the lamb over rice. For the price and the included drink for the price (which I didn’t realize at first until ordering) this is a steal. $ 8.25 gets you a load of food. The rice was perfectly cooked, the salad that was also inside was nice and helped cool the heat off a bit. I ordered mine spicy. It didn’t disappoint there at all. The lamb was the vertical rotisserie style which I love with all the seasonings and stuff that are in that style and there was a LOT of it.
I’ve eaten at a lot of the trucks and while this may not be in the fancy lets make everything different or some kind of fusion category that is the new trend, that doesn’t keep it from being one of the few trucks I’d give 5 stars to. It’s loaded with flavor and that’s the most important part.

Gyros were my very first food truck experience way back in the 1980s in NYC, so I was excited to see that Gyro King, whose owners are from Queens, in my work neighborhood today. Thank you MoFo Mini Mania!
I ordered the lamb gyro, spicy style with a drink for $ 7. Not too shabby price wise. The bread was spot on, lots of tasty tzatziki sauce on the lettuce, cabbage and tomatoes, but not a whole lot of lamb. It might have just appeared to be light on the meat since it was chopped up rather than the long shaved pieces of lamb I normally expect in my gyro.
However, for the price and the convenience, this was a great deal and something I’ll order again… after I try their chicken and rice! Excuse me while I lapse into a food coma now.
10÷15÷13 Amending my review. Had the chicken and rice for lunch today– HOLY TOLEDO THAT’S GOOD! I swear it was about 3 pounds of food– gorgeous pink tandoori chicken, seasoned rice, siracha and white sauce, plus a side salad with lettuce, cucumber, cabbage and tomatoes. So much food AND a drink… even with a tip it was less than $ 10. Very tasty and lots of leftovers for tomorrow! Gotta love the MoFo Mini Manias! Thanks Gyro King!

Anyone who’s ever been out on the town in NYC should know well about chicken & rice. Now, these Gyro King owners have moved from Queens to bring NYC’s finest drunk food to Sac. Neon pink halal chicken drizzled w/​that crack white sauce for $ 7 is hard to beat late night.
