    Swiss Chard Soup
    Ee Vonn Y.

    Swiss chard soup $7 - New item, vegan, warm, comforting, thick, filled with beans, chard. Falafels $11 (4 pieces) - The reason they say they don't sell this a la carte anymore because they lose money apparently, and the cook doesn't like cooking falafels (but it's the name of your truck?). It's really good. Will come back for their other vegan items - Babaganoush, hummus, salad.

    Gyro Quesadilla

    Got the Gyro Quesadilla which was really good. Also delicious hummus. Thank you for making the farmers market even better.

    Gyro Sandwich

    Falafel Fresh--what a friendly food truck! If it's not obvious from the name, this neon green truck offers falafel and other Mediterranean eats, which I got to try at the College of San Mateo Farmers' Market! The namesake menu item was the falafel, of course, which I got on a plate along with hummus, whole wheat pita, and a simple salad of lettuce, tomato, and parsley. The falafel balls were freshly fried and tasty (though not particularly memorable), and the hummus that came on the side had a thick, dense texture. I loved how the plate also came with a small side of tahini sauce, which made for a nice creamy dressing for the salad! But even better than the falafel was the gyro sandwich, made of slices of beef/lamb gyro topped with onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and the best part, tzatziki sauce, all on a whole wheat pita bread. I loved the combination of the chewy flatbread, the salty gyro slices, the crunchy vegetables, and the creamy, tangy tzatziki sauce, which brought everything together! While the prices at Falafel Fresh weren't the cheapest for the portion sizes, this was definitely one tasty stop at the farmers' market!

    Oh man the mana bread is the best I've had around these parts. Have you been to Reem's and had her za'atar man'oushe? This is shockingly better than Reem's! Falafel Fresh makes mana bread using whole wheat. It is incredibly delicious and healthy. Tastes fresh out of the oven. I was skeptical at first but man, I am sold. I can't wait to go back and have the falafel wrap!

    One of my favorite places to eat. Too bad they are only here (at the Evergreen Farmer's Market) on Wednesdays and Sundays. The number one thing that I like about eating here is that it is a family owned restaurant, so they always remember the way I like my falafel sandwich. I order it without tahini, but sub it for tzaziki and I like it extra spicy. They make your food on spot, so it is always warm when you get your meal. They also offer samples of different foods that they sell to try for yourself before ordering. Their prices are good at only $5-6 a sandwich. They also offer gyros, soups, and different plate options. I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

    Order up!

    I've literally eaten a hundred of this mans Falafels and Gyros, and help sell a thousand more to friends and family by bringing them to his stand. His food is great! Only problem is (and the only reason I'm only giving 4 stars) he's barely been around our market lately, and seems sporadic at others. We look forward to his falafel, only to end up giving our business to the Mexican food stand or the someone else, wishing we were eating FRESH FALAFEL! Come back to CHAMPS more consistently please, or better yet, open a small Falafel shop that never moves :) Add me as a friend if you "Feel" my review!

    Lamb & beef gyro and fries for $14.00.  fries a little overcooked the gyro was okay

    We came here for lunch on our second day in town. It was a bit too cold to eat outside, which was a…read morebummer because the lake view is incredible, so we opted for a cozy table indoors instead. The menu is straightforward and mostly features Greek food. We started with the red pepper hummus, and the pita bread came out nice and warm which felt amazing on a chilly day. For our mains, we tried the beef kabobs and a lamb dish. The beef kabobs were actually pretty good, though the lamb turned out a little on the tough side. I also grabbed their drink special of the day, which hit the spot. Overall, it was a really nice experience. The service was friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely have to come back during warmer weather so we can finally sit out on the patio and fully enjoy that view!

    Date: Sunday, March 22nd, 2026 Meal: Dinner Takeaway…read moreTime Place: around 5pm Picked Up: about 20 mins later *Mezze Plate ($22.99) - SUB Cut Veggies for Pita ($2) *Mahi Fish & Chips ($24.95) *To GO Box Fees - 3% ($1.50) *Tax ($4.36) The hubby and I have been in Tahoe almost every weekend. I adore trying new places, so I decided to try Artemis. We placed the our takeout order online via their website thru Toast. My mezze platter was fine. A good variety - falafel, dolmas, hummus, babba ghanoush, tzatziki, tabbouleh. I liked that the babba ghanoush wasn't too slimy. The falafels were a lil dry and definitely needed the tzatziki for moisture. I like that they let you sub veggies for pita as I'm not a huge pita fan. The hub's fish and chips were okay. Idk if the oil was old, but it the coloring was definitely deep and the fish was over. Maybe it was an off day with the oil. But I'd stay away from anything requiring a deep fry. REVIEW #4036

I ordered the gyro wrap, which in hindsight probably wasn't the best choice for my personal taste. I wasn't a fan of the lamb strips, as the flavor just didn't really agree with me. I also would have preferred tzatziki sauce over the garlic sauce, and I found the tortilla wrap less satisfying than a traditional stuffed pita. That said, the food was fresh and the staff was friendly. I also noticed other folks in the restaurant had ordered platters, and those dishes looked good. While my particular order didn't quite match my palate, I'd still be willing to return and try one of the platters or salads next time.

Staff were friendly and answered my questions. The restaurant is small, but there was enough seating if people wanted to eat in. Took my order to go. When home and settling in to eat out gyros, we found the food was fresh and tasty. The lamb was exceptionally seasoned and cooked to perfection. My husband said the chicken was also very good and he commented that we will definitely eat there again.
