    Really delicious and fresh! Got a chicken and rice plate and a chicken gyro and would absolutely get again. I'm especially a fan of the hummus, it's really flavorful and smooth. Tried at off the grid and will make sure to find them again soon!!

    My company hired the food truck for an event and it was great! I got the falafel gyro and enjoyed it! The falafel was not dry and was of good consistency. It didn't fall apart while eating. They were kind enough to put the sauces on the side so my gyro was not drowning in sauce. The workers were super kind and the service was quick!

    Stopped by Golden Gate Gyro at the Gordon Biersch Night Market in San Jose and I'm so glad I did! I was first in line and ordered the Chicken Over Rice. Michael (a total sweetheart) asked me if I wanted it spicy, and while I was deciding whether I wanted sriracha or not, he told me he had a different sauce I would like. I was happy to try it and paid my $19. The food was ready impressively quickly - it must have been under 3 minutes of waiting. He gave me the special sauce (red but lighter in color than sriracha) in a separate little box and I brought my food home to eat. The Chicken Over Rice was fantastic - flavorful juicy chicken, well cooked rice, and fresh crunchy veggies. I liked the white sauce but LOVED the special sauce, which was the perfect level of spicy. I wish I had asked the name of it, but Michael was spot on with his recommendation. The portion size was very generous, but I managed to finish the entire meal. Would totally return!

    My homie hit me up one day and told me a Gyro truck pulled up outside his office and I should stop by to check it out, I was already debating on what to have for lunch so this was obviously fate rearing its head at the right time. The menu offers a variety of options from plates, salads, wings, baklava, and fries but the real star of the show for me, is the gyro wraps (of course). The meat (lamb or chicken) is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, with a delicious blend of spices that truly capture the essence of Greek cuisine with the perfect. The pita bread is soft and fluffy, and the toppings - from the tzatziki sauce to the fresh veggies - are all top-notch. If you're a vegetarian, they got you covered. I asked for spicy and they delivered on the spicy because I need that kick in my life. Michael was running the truck solo, he's extremely friendly, welcoming, and moves very quick in the kitchen, the turn around for the food was surprisingly fast, so don't let any long lines scare you. Everything here was efficient and Mike was very attentive, ensuring that every customers question is answered and they feel well taken care of. Overall, I highly recommend Golden Gate Gyro. Whether you're a die-hard fan of Greek food or just looking to try something new and exciting, you won't be disappointed at all!

    Order ready in about 3 minutes! Had the lamb gyro & chicken rice plate. The lamb was tender and flavorful but a bit too salty. I don't think I would've been able to eat just the lamb but together with the chicken, it was great. I have to admit I found the deep red food coloring of the chicken a little off putting but it was delicious and perfectly seasoned and cooked. The rice was perfect and so was the salad with sauce.

    Rubbery thing in my food
    T F.

    So gross! Their food truck came out for lunch for a company event. I ordered a chicken gyro sandwich and bit into a rubbery thing, like the top of a container?? I thought it was a tendon or something. After throwing out the piece, I took another bite and there were tiny rubbery pieces and I spit out the bite and threw the whole meal out. On top of it, what is that red color they use on the chicken? After the 2 bites, my heart was racing 30 min later and for another 1-2 hours. MSG??

    Participated in a food truck event recently and Golden Gate Gyro was one of the options we could choose from. The food was really delicious! Got to try the lamb gyro and the mixed combo over rice that has chicken and lamb over rice with salad. Chicken was unexpectedly a little spicy and lamb was incredibly tender and flavorful. Food portions were huge. Really happy with our food and would definitely get it again. The guy working the front was incredibly nice and kind.

    The hours specified are incorrect. The truck does not have a specific location, as well as it does not have specific working hours. I went to the address posted on their website and found the truck parked. Awful.

    The dude and I came here on 07/04/21 as our food option for the A's game. Within the last few years I've grown to appreciate Mediterranean cuisine. We decided yo give this food truck a try. The line was long but reasonable and moved pretty fast. I got the Chicken Swarma pita as the dude got the Lamb pita, we also got two orders of Baklava too which was good. The chicken pita was pretty good, very flavorful and it made my taste buds dance with happiness! The portion size was huge so I didn't even put a dent in it and I was so full. I had left overs. The dudes lamb pita was very chewy which I am a fan of lamb but I didn't like the texture of the meat at all and lacked flavor for me. The dude agreed but he still enjoyed his Lamb pita. The Baklava was honestly my favorite as it was so tasty and the honey topping was my favorite. The staff was friendly and nice and I would come again! It was such a treat!

    Chicken rice plate (spicy)
    Sabrina S.

    Golden gate gyro served out their rice and fry plates quite fast, most likely since they have batches of meat prepared for a quick TAT. The spicy chicken wasn't that spicy, but it was tender and not bad. Contrary to what some comments said, their lamb was not overly salty which is pretty lucky. My other coworker had gotten their falafel plate and it came with 10 pieces which is A LOT. It also looked pretty tasty! If it's around, I'd pick up a plate again - 3.5 .

    Quick take: delicious food During COVID-19 SIP this food truck company is following all social distancing rules. Pre-order by texting 925-786-4520. One truck is currently stationed at the Green Valley Elementary School parking lot in Danville. Follow their IG stories for current locations and specials. The food is delicious. Very flavorful and tender meat. Definitely will be back for more. This is a very small food truck. So I understand they are limited on cooking appliances and counter space. If you are taking suggestions for the future I will request fries to be added to the menu. Thanks for the great service. Stay healthy and safe!

    Mixed gyro over rice . Yummy .

Their menu had several selections available to address various types of appetites. Their prices were acceptable and, as I would soon discover, would be well worth my choice choosing their truck over the others that were present. I admit that my food preferences sway toward BBQ. Their potato salad and beans were wonderful and customized. The beef sandwich, however, was the best I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. This is a phrase I do not state easily. Their BBQ was far more than simply combining meat with a BBQ on a bun for profit. It was as though they were able to extract the care and love a smoker were to possess and combine it into their food. I have never experienced such a well created meal. Chilly Willy's Smokehouse BBQ is the pentacle of BBQ. I cannot imagine any other establishments reaching their level of excellence.

I think the problem is that I couldn't get past the lack of a restroom in the area. They had some portables, but they are making food and we are supposed to eat it. Where are they washing their hands? This area is also pretty cold so if you go, make sure that you have a coat, scarf and hat. I'll never make that mistake again. But because of the cold, I didn't want to eat outside so our food got a cold, but it was good. My husband liked the food he got, but gluten free options are super limited. They get a third star because of the bar! Now there was only one person working there and that's fine because he could go get a snack or something and come back to pour drinks, but again. The restroom issue. Where does he wash his hands, what if he has a cold and sneezes into them, and so on. That's where my mind went. The vendors are quite nice and were helpful and weren't mean when they answered my GF questions and I appreciate that. So, this is like the little engine that could. I can see that it is a gathering spot for people and they have music and speakers which is cool. So I saw and felt a community vibe and people really seemed to like going. If I lived in the area, I may try it a bit more, but in all honestly, Oakland Museum's Off the Grid event is everything I wish this was.

I have actually seen this food truck before but never had the opportunity to order from here so I thought today would be a good day. It seems like their claim to fame is that they use halal meat. I ordered the loaded P and a side of fries. I was pretty underwhelmed with the overall meal. The roll looked like it was bought from a general store and the cheese looked like nacho cheese you get in a can. I will give them credit that the fries tasted fresh but again, I was overall underwhelmed with the whole meal. Truthfully I would have considered giving this place four stars but the total cost of this meal came out to more than $30, which is a bit crazy. I understand we are going through an inflation period but a cheesesteak and fries costing that much is insane. Had the meal blown me away, I would have understood the high price. There may not be many cheesesteak shops in the Bay Area but there are enough where I can compare the quality and price of those shops to this truck. The quality of the sandwiches is definitely similar but the other places are way cheaper. Like I mentioned earlier, if you are going to be a truck that specializes in an American classic and are going to charge a hefty price, then be prepared to impress me. Unfortunately this truck did not pass that bar.

I really love getting food at that event because you can sit under the trees and enjoy the beautiful park, the breeze, and joyful people laughing while you eat. It's a nice change of pace from the midweek slump. I loooooved their paninis. Mom got the vegetariano with salad and I got the chicken panini with fries. The salad was good and we appreciated that it was tossed already. The fries were bomb, exactly the kind I prefer the most (on the thinner side, mixture of crispy and soft, nicely salted). I couldn't pick which panini I loved more because they were both delicious. I usually only eat half my sandwiches and save the other half for later, but it was so dang good that I scarfed the whole thing down (and gave myself a stomach ache ofc haha)! Now keep in mind that I do have high standards. I'm not going to fork over $18 (GAG COUGH) for a sandwich if it doesn't vastly exceed expectations, and yeah this honestly delivers. It's totally worth the price because you usually can't get a panini this flavorful and quality out here on a typical day. Also the guy at the window was nice so that's a perk. Anyway, this food is absolutely delicious and we'll be back again to try more tasty things!

I ordered the Chicken Doner Pidde, and the huge, boat-shaped flatbread that arrived at my table was a big surprise. I knew at that point I would have a second meal to take home. The pidde had a nice, chewy, thin crust. I regret waiting until I was in the restaurant to do my research, because had I known that it's customary to dip the crust in egg, I definitely would have ordered one. The pidde was loaded with cheese and chunks of nicely seasoned chicken. It was outstanding. For my fountain drink, I chose a very unusual (at least for the American palate), cherry-tarragon soda, which was not as cloyingly sweet as the fruit-flavored sodas we typically see at the self-serve dispenser. Then there's the baklava--oh, the baklava...do t tell my Cypriot bestie that this pastry was bar the best flaky, honey-soaked, nut pastry I'd ever had-- and I've been to a lot of Greek food, festivals and a lot of different states, and to Greece, too. The small square was just enough of a taste of dessert to end a great meal. It was so scrumptious and buttery. I was full, but I wanted more. In fact, all thefood was so good, that I downloaded their app while I was at the table, and ordered $50 worth of sweets: a Turkish Delight assortment, a baklava assortment, and a Katarina (large honey-soaked shredded phyllo--a delicious and textural dessert. I also brought home a container each of baba ganoush and cacik--a cold, garlicky, minty yogurt-cucumber soup reminiscent of tzatziki. The assortment of sweets on display in the case was beautiful and full of variety. There is a 20% off discount code that you are provided when you sign up, so don't forget to use that! Another great thing about this establishment is that it's a staff is efficient and friendly, and when I asked if I could hang out at the table a while longer because I needed to make a phone call and do some work, they happily obliged. i had spent about two hours there by the time I left. I was so impressed with my overall experience, that I handed the cashier/server $20 and thanked everyone on the way out. I live in Alameda, so Walnut Creek is not exactly convenient for me, but this is a place I would go out of my way for when looking for a meal that is unique, unfussy, and outrageously good.
