    Loaded fries
    Bailey H.

    Got the loaded fries.................. yummmmmm. They don't skimp on the meat and the banana peppers and cucumber really do something for me

    Chicken plate. Piled on in layers. Not my preferred way of eating. But flavors were there.

    If you see the Hefty Gyros' fire engine red food truck about town, check them out. They serve up hefty hefty hefty portions of Mediterranean food. The menu consist of gyros, falafel, chicken, pita, hummus, salads, and fries. Did I mention the portion sizes are hefty?! They literally pile on the food. I ordered a chicken plate. Whoa. In one container they literally piled it on... rice, chicken, salad, fries, and pita with hummus spread already on it. Plus they are heavy handed with the white sauce. Sure the portions were huge. But my food was assembled like a Dagwood sandwich minus the bread, in layers. Saucy dressed layers. Not how I like to eat a non sandwich meal. But great for a gyro. The flavors were terrific though. Moist grilled chicken slices. Fries were hot n crispy for a hot minute, same with the cool crisp salad before the blend of layers of taste crept in which didn't take long. My salad got lost in the layers and I couldn't distinguish that stand alone flavor.

    Flavor bomb! The staff were efficient and effective handling orders and food prep. The food truck dynamic is standard across most. The lack of prices on the side was a bit frustrating, I prefer to decide on my food based on the prices. We ordered a gyro which came chock full of ingredients. I think the unique ingredient is banana peppers! Super good. The meat and sauces were flavorful. $14 for one of these seems a bit steep to me, but for a quick and easy lunch, I'd recommend it.

    Just had some thing quick- loaded fries with the family. Fries crispy, a fresh creamy sauce, and the meat... pure deliciousness!

    Gyro Pita
    Ricardo G.

    Quick and kind service, definitely worth the line. Gyro Pita - 9/10 Very nicely seasoned, salty and acidic combo works well. Good amount of food, even if messy. Peppercinis add a nice amount of heat.

    Gyro pita
    Jim W.

    Hefty Gyro is my gyro! A gyro pita and a side of falafel at Food Truck Friday in Idlewild Park in Reno from a Sacramento food truck. The pita is warm and holds together the lamb meat, tzatziki sauce and fresh vegetables just fine. It was a perfect pita wrap. The falafel was not made into patties it was more freeform chunks. Some were very crispy and others near to doughy. The taste was ok but texture off. A small cup of sauce would have helped. I enjoyed the meal but the falafel has to be in patties that cook evenly. The pita is worth another visit so stop by and try it or one of the other wonderful looking items on the menu.

    Hefty Gyros was one of the food trucks at my work today that comes every Friday and I finally decided to check them out for lunch. I ordered the Chicken on Rice plate which is a HEFTY amount of food - it comes with rice, chicken, a salad, pita bread, hummus and even fries! Everything was nicely seasoned and you definitely get some bang for your buck! So filling! Service was friendly and quick! I can't really comment on the ambiance as it is a food truck, but you can tell their food is fresh and there was a longer line to order than the other food trucks that were around. I love Mediterranean food and I can definitely see myself ordering from them again!

    So good! That's all you need to know. Everything on their menu was amazing, but their fries? Those were the main event right there! 10/10. Had the chance to try them at a work event and I honestly wished I lived closer to their pop areas so that I can enjoy it over and over again. The staff was super friendly and had great energy even with the mass amount of people they had coming to their window. I got the fries with a combo meat option and it was so loaded up you had a good bite each time. Can't wait for another opportunity to have their food again.

    Chicken rice plate

    The chicken rice plate with a side of fries was really good, and the guys at the window were nice. No complaints from me

    Every time they come to Travis Air Force Base with a food truck, I go to Hefty Gyros. Their Gyro Pita is fire. There fries are fire. Hummus is fire. Everything is so good and the customer service is great. Plus, the speed at which they make food is unheard of. 5 out of 5 and highly recommend!

    We hired the hefty gyro food truck for a work event. Their service, food, and professionalism was wonderful and we would definitely hire them again! Thank you Mo & Womad for your great onsite service! Everyone enjoyed it!

    Small restaurant in strip mall. Has a few tables for dine in, which we did for Saturday afternoon…read more Owners are super friendly and very efficient considering how fresh everything is. They want to make sure you love their food. We ordered the beef and lamb Gyro as well as the falafel Gyro, both were excellent and huge portions. Never tasted such a good Gyro! We saw that they have the chocolate strawberry desserts, as well as baklava, as well as Dubai chocolate. We ordered the homemade baklava, and it was excellent! Since we had never heard of the Dubai chocolate, the owners gave us a piece to try, and OMG, that is a winner! If you love milk chocolate, and pistachio cream inside. We will definitely be back when we are in the neighborhood. You must try this place!

    Harir Gyro has been sold. DO NOT PATRONIZE!!!!!!…read more I am so disappointed that Harir Gyro sold out. The new owners appear to be transitioning to Thai food. It has been months since they took over and they have yet to figure out how to update the menu screens. They still show Gyros and Greek oriented dishes. One board shows a couple of Halal dishes yet the business name says Asian Grill. ???? The Tzatziki, Humus, and chili sauce on the table have been replaced by Hoisin Sauce, Fish Sauce, and Sriracha Sauce. What used to be the best Gyro in the Sacto area is now the worst. The Pita was flaky/crispy and the plentiful Beef/Lamb meat was salty, thin and grilled to the crispiness of bacon. The Chicken Schwarma was dry and didn't have much chicken to it. If you are looking for a Gyro - this is no longer the place to go.

We just went again about a week and a half ago and still the service does not disappoint. The food is flavorful with great servings and the ambiance, restaurant dining area is clean, open and bright.

The flip side is when they charge too much and build a gyro, for example, with tiny scraps of tomato, six fries at the most, the tiniest bit of tsatziki on the pita (a tiny plastic cup with a bit more? +50¢) AND - unless you invest an additional $3.50 for 'double meat' as I did, it's almost not worth it. The GOOD news is, that first bite of steak almost brought tears to my eyes it was so delicious, tender, perfectly cooked medium rare, and seasoned apparently by the gods. The pita was equally yummy. AND I did get $5 off my first order under their new rewards program, but I did have to spend $20 to get it. So... their miserly approach to ingredients may keep them in business BUT will I pay $17 again for a steak souvlaki pita any time soon? Probably not.

I was craving a yummy Falafel Corner Chicken Shawarma wrap and visited the Granite Bay restaurant which was closest to my location at the time. I should've known something was not right about this Falafel Corner when I was greeted by a white boy who didn't know what Chicken Shwarma was. My food was truly awful and tasted nothing like the Chicken Shawarma at the other 5 locations I've been to. This version of the wrap had hardly any meat which BYW did not taste anything like Falfel Corner Chicken Shawarma. Instead of being packed with delicious chicken and onions, this wrap had spinach filler mixed in with the chicken and everything was completely drenched in a nasty sauce that absolutely was not tahini or tzatziki. It almost tasted fishy and looked slightly pink. It was totally gross. I ate a few bites and threw that nasty sandwich in my compost. I would have asked for my money back if I was eating onsite. But unfortunately I took this nasty wrap to go and didn't know what I was in for until I got home. One thing is for sure, I will never return to this Falafel Corner location ever again.
