Hefty Gyros

Best falafal I’ve had since living in the Bay Area ~20 years ago.
Going to have to try the Gyro next.
I looks forward to having them here at work for lunch & make sure I don’t bring lunch that day.

OMG so good, I had the pita it was the best I’ve ever had:) and the frys, the tuzikki wow

I got the gyro with fries and it was so good. Fresh and well seasoned meat. Hope they come to the next Woodland Food Truck Mania!

Hit up their truck at Woodland’s sacto mofo event. Hot the gyro pita, falafel pita and hefty fries with gyro and they were all AMAZING! Especially loved the fries! Great flavors! We will hit them up again.

I had the chicken over rice and was happy with it. I would rate it 3.5 stars considering it’s not my favorite, but I’d probably go there again!

Another Homerun Food truck in town: HEFTY GYROS. And Im giving them a solid and strong 4. A little different than traditional gyro where the meat is stacked and pressed on a huge skewer and cooked rotisserie style. HEFTY GYROS serves the same meats but cooked more individually instead of large skewer and thats understandable since you never know how many to expect at different locations.
I ordered the biggest platter they had. 3 meats were lamb, chicken and beef. ALL were fantastic. Great taste and perfectly cooked. The tasiki sauce was mildly spicy but just right. The crew was friendly and it was cooked pretty fast.
The only reason I rated it 4 Stars is because they didnt have any rice. I dont know if they forgot to bring it but it was early in the evening and Im sure they didnt run out yet. The least they could have done is lower the price a buck or two to make up for no rice. I didnt ask as I was more interested to see if they were gonna offer but they didnt. No big problem. GO TO HEFTY GYROS at the next SACTOMOFO event near you.

This is the best gyros on wheels in Sacramento! You have to try the hefty fries!!! But basically anything you get from that place is delicious!

This is hands down the BEST GYRO.
New York native guy standing outside Sutter Medical Center Sacramento swore by it, so we tried it…
One word… AWESOME.
The owner was so nice. He even threw in a set of delicious order of hearty fries on the house! The rice was fresh & moist. #SoGood.
The meat was moist, tender & the combo was a perfect blend with just enough spice.
Good people. Good food.

The best food truck on the west coast!!!
I have been to Hefty Gyros a number of times and each time it only gets better. Growing up in Queens, NY, I know pizza and street food (trucks and stands). In fact my family is in the business and many own curb side carts with some of the best food and sauce in NYC. Enough about that — let’s talk Hefty.
My go to here is the mix plate — a combination of gyro and chicken, over rice with salad and plenty of white sauce. In addition to this, I make it a combo and ask for fries and a drink. White sauce normally makes or breaks a Greek/​Mediterranean food truck and it definitely does the former here.
The owners/​employees are wonderful people and provide exceptional service.
Hefty Gyros has won over my chicken/​gyro over rice taste buds and is arguably one of the best truck vendors I have ever had, and believe me, I have had plenty. Once you go Hefty, you won’t go back.

Food is completely legit, great flavor on the chicken and gyro meat. Their spices seem to stand out above other gyro trucks that I have tried. I had the gyro and chicken combo over rice, and the chicken is so damned good, the gyro meat was killer too. Not a bad price point and plenty of food. Solid choice if you are in the mood for some mediterranean fare.

Hands down one of my top 2 favorite food trucks in town. My work gets food trucks every week so I have had my fair share of whats out there. The first time they came I only got the special fries (wavy fries with taziki and sriracha sauce drizzle) because I had to be healthy and eat my salad from home. I won’t make that mistake again. And I mean, I will leave the salad at home.
I got the gyro pita the second time and and i wise person once said «errrrrrmerrrgherrrd». best.lunch.ever. the pita for one, was warm, chewy but crispy around the edges. the gyro meat (lamb i think?) was tender and juicy. There wasn’t too much taziki sauce (pet peeve) and it wasn’t that gross, thick kind either. The vegetables were fresh, and it filled me up!
You MUST check this place out. The only problem is, deciding on what to get.

I wanted the gyro over rice but also wanted some bread and they were nice enough to throw in a lil for me at no extra charge! Meat is tender with nice flavor and I love the hot sauce on it!

As far as food trucks go, this is one of the best I’ve found. You’ll get your money’s worth for sure.
I’ve seen them before around town and watched those huge gyros and falafel plates wander away from the truck… but I’ve always been too stuffed before to give them a try. So this time around I made them the top pick and I’m really glad I did!
Caught them on a slow evening due to the heat out at 2^nd Wednesday @ Rusch Park. Service was friendly, fast, and my chicken pita was gigantic and fresh. Really good flavor. My friend’s falafel pita was also really big. She says it was awesome and will be my next item to try the next time I see these guys.
We also had the special fries, which are fries topped with tzatziki and sriracha. I would like to shake the hand of whoever thought up that brilliance. Really glad the fries were crispy and not soggy. Only thing to make them better would be to layer the sauce a bit (instead of just putting it on top) but hey I’d still order them again for sure.

True to their name, these gyros are massive. I go for the falafel or basket of flavorful fries. Friendly dudes, great service!
The truck is easy to spot, fire engine red with pictures of your different options. The prices are good as well, with most choices under 10.00

Fresh greek food that is cooked well. I had the Ultimate plate. It had chicken, gyro, falafel, and salad. Also had hot sauce on top, if you are sensitive to that. I love hot food. I asked for extra tztiki sauce no problem. They were fast and friendly.

I had the opportunity to try Hefty Gyros during the Sactomofo event in Citrus Heights a few weeks ago. I was super excited to try this truck because I LOVE falafel. Like way too much. Boarder line creepy/​obsessive.
I can’t even stop talking about it.
Falafel.
Falafel.
FALAFEL.
Because of this I stalked the Hefty Gyros truck and was dead set on trying their Falafel Plate which came with a generous helping of falafel on top of a bed of rice covered in sauce with a side salad.
In hindsight, I probably should have ordered the Falafel Gyro Wrap.
The falafel had good flavor. Not the best falafel I have had, but not the worst. Somewhere in the middle. The rice was cooked well, but it was plain and hard to mix in with the rest of the meal. It also made the meal dry in spite of the sauce. The salad was plain as well because it was just lettuce, nothing special. The sauce was good, but there was SO much hot sauce that it took over the meal and I had a hard time tasting any other flavors. Next time I would leave it off or ask for just a little hot sauce.
The portion was generous and enough for one person, but I found myself just eating the falafel off the top and throwing away the rice and lettuce. Boo. I would come back again to give them another try (have I mentioned I’m obsessed with falafel?) but this time get the Falafel inside a pita instead.
FALAFEL.

I walked up to the food truck with my daughter standing next to me, and asked if it was possible to get an ultimate plate without the lamb. The man taking the orders was super friendly, and he said, «Yeah, of course!» He then seemed to call my order back to the other man in the truck. I said, «Could I get extra chicken or extra veggies instead?» He said, «Yeah, sure!» Then he looked over at my daughter and said, «Not spicy, right?» And I said, «Yeah, spicy.» He gave me kind of a funny look so I said, «She ate somewhere else,» which was true. He said okay. I said I would also need a Sprite. My total was $ 14.
Less than a minute later, the man at the window on the other corner of the truck had my order ready. I said, «No lamb, right?» He said, «Yeah, there’s lamb.» I said, «I ordered it without lamb, with extra veggies instead.» Then a conversation ensued which I cannot describe in my review, because it occurred in a language which I do not speak, and I was not included in it. Then he said, «Yeah, there’s no lamb.» Hmmm.
I ate the meat I was given. There seemed to be (two practically microscopic portions of) two distinct kinds of meat, and one didn’t seem to be chicken. The food was in no way spicy. So, even though they seemed like the two friendliest guys I’d ever met, I guess they decided that speed was more important than accuracy, which I should maybe knock them down to one star for, but I’m not going to, because the food was still pretty decent. Nothing amazing or special, and definitely nowhere near the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had, but decent.
There was definitely nothing special about the salad. At all. Mediterranean salad is normally my favorite, because, as opposed to American salad, there is normally a lot less lettuce, and a lot more tomato, onion, and cucumber. This was like 90% lettuce with a sliver each of onion and tomato. Lacking.
For the price point, and with the word «Hefty» literally being part of the name, I guess I expected the food to be a lot MORE decent and a lot MORE accurate. What if I was allergic to lamb? I don’t know that that’s a thing, but I’m allergic to so many foods that I’m kind of extra-​sensitive about inaccurate orders. I’m just saying… especially since I pointed out that my plate was inaccurate and was still stuck with that plate… not cool. Also, for the price, there was nothing ultimate about my plate. It had the same amount of food as the $ 7.99 plates posted in the pictures section of their Unilocal page.
This is one of those places where I’d go again only if I was with someone who was dying to go there, but I wouldn’t go back on my own.

This place has a food truck that comes by where I work a lot of weekends and they are AWESOME. The guy at the window (I don’t know his name, but it’s always the same nice guy!) will take good care of you.
So I get the pita gyro with lamb. The pita is thick and fresh, super delicious. The tzatziki sauce (cucumber yogurt sauce) is light and refreshing with a hint of sweetness that pairs really well with the slight spice of the meat. Fresh veggies finish off the gyro. Overall it’s super delicious.
Seriously go. Stop reading this. Go eat there. Why are you still reading? Super tasty gyros await you.

Awesome food! This place is a find. Healthy, fresh ingredients. Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum. S spiced so if you want it less spicy Jamal will hook you up. I had the Ultimate gyro and it was the bomb
It’s also impeccably clean which matters a lot to me.
Price is reasonable and the quality is awesome. Large portion.

Falafel And Chicken Gyro! SO FLAVORFUL and flippin’ DELICIOUS! Flavor Blast! I will be hunting that truck down again.
The fellas were so clean, kind, welcoming, and professional. They were such cool, and respectful gentlemen.
