| - Well that was an unexpected surprise.
I was following one of my favorite sweets-centric food trucks to some sort of "craft show" event at some space that was hitherto unknown to me when I decided that I really wanted some solid food. Greek Delights, which is more of a trailer than a full-sized truck, was conveniently located alongside.
Although I'd never so much as seen this truck before, the menu - relatively simple, like most food trucks - seemed familiar. They seem to feature fries a little more prominently than everything else, but I kept it simple and ordered a gyro combo ($10), which includes a Classic Gyro (normally $8) and an order of American Fries (normally $4). I was fortunate enough to find one of the very limited seats open as I waited for my meal, which didn't take too long to come out.
The gyro meat, touted as all beef and apparently the same rectangular meats as anywhere, was surprisingly as far from dry as I can recall. It was flavorful on its own, and the plentiful tzatziki, tomatoes, and red onions only made them better. The pita is standard fare but got a decent char on the grill. Overall, my impression there it's at least as good as the other gyros that I've tried so far in town.
The fries are not that impressive. "Plain ol fries" was the menu description, and they were pretty much that: generously sized portion, average-thickness cut, decent seasoning, but a little dry. They went alright when eaten with the gyro, but benefited a lot from ketchup (separately from the gyro of course). Perhaps the loaded Spartan Fries or at least the herbed and feta'd Zante Fries would have been more interesting, albeit not at a discount. Regardless, I wouldn't go for the plain fries again unless I was as hungry as I was tonight.
Considering that they serve one of the better gyros around while being a food truck, I am impressed with Greek Delights. I hope that they show up more often toward my side of town or at food truck gatherings that I tend to frequent. I'd love to get my hands (or fork) on those Spartan Fries next time.
