Mix Plate - Combination gyro and chicken
Donovan H.

The Yelp reviews don't lie; "Hefty Gyros" is arguably one of the best Halal/Mediterranean mobile food trucks I have ever been to. Having tried their food ever since they opened their very first truck around 2013, I've been a fan ever since. And hence the name "hefty" means you are going to get a hefty amount of food that will undoubtedly fill you up. One very cool thing is that they're locally owned (out of Sacramento) and serve at many major events. This includes being at Golden 1 Center, FoodieLand, SactoMoFo, California State Fair as well as offering their truck at weddings, festivals, caterings, charities, and corporate events. I ended up eating here after checking out the all-new "Citrus Heights Food Truck Plaza" (off of Auburn Blvd/Twin Oaks Ave) which debuted in July 2026. Much to my delight, I parked in the small dedicated lot and proceeded to check out several other food trucks before settling with Hefty Gyros. As for the menu itself, it is simple yet very effective. They offer a variation of pitas (falafel for the vegetarians as well as chicken & beef/lamb), rice plates, fries (available in plain, Cajun, or Greek), hummus, and Baklava. Drinks are your standard canned soft drinks as well as a lemonade-strawberry beverage; perfect for the hot days. Since I arrived on an empty stomach (which was during the evening on Saturday 8/15/2026 at 6:00pm), I went with their "Mixed Rice Plate". This monstrosity comes fully loaded with both chicken and gyro meat over brown basmati rice, side of salad, and hummus spread in two pita breads. I complete my meal with one of their "Lemonade-Strawberry" drinks. After making my payment, I was handed a small pager (that would beep when my order was ready). In less than 5 minutes, my food was ready. And since I was talking with the owner/manager for a few minutes while telling him how legit their food has been over the years, he even throws in a complimentary "Baklava" to enjoy! Once proceeding to the cozy seating area (which was well-shaded) for maximum enjoyment, I opened the container as this packaging was loaded with pure deliciousness. And the weight was indeed hefty as this more than likely weighed in at nearly 1 lb! They did not skimp on the meat while the sauces were freely flowing while covering the salad, rice, and fries. Even as hungry as I was, I had to have my lady help finish this plate. All in all, this mixed rice plate hit all the high notes for me; savory, filling, and very delicious. Since this will now be a staple at the Citrus Heights Food Truck Plaza, I see myself making many future visits here. With that said and done, I am giving "Hefty Gyros" a perfect five-star rating.

I tried out this food truck about a week ago and I believe this is probably the best gyro that I have ever had. It was the perfect size and absolutely delicious. I can't have the tsatziki sauce so they replaced it with hummus. I didn't think i would like the hummus but it was absolutely perfect. The service was great. When asked what was in it, they happily told me the ingredients and provided a suggestion to replace the white sauce. The line was long but we got our food really fast. As far as ambiance... I guess they could do a little better with the menu boards but otherwise it was great. I now want to try something else in their menu if I come across their food truck again.

Drove all the way to the Citrus Heights food truck plaza to find Hefty Gyros closed during posted open hours.

This place is delicious! Mo was helpful and quick. Definitely coming back here! I got the Gyro Rice Plate and loved it.

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.

Food truck menu as of 10/13/2025

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.

Loaded Fires!

Had the opportunity to try the food truck off of Auburn Blvd and it's quite literally some of the best Greek/mediterranean food I've ever had and I've tried quite a few different places all around the Sacramento area! Customer service was amazing and Mo does not play in the kitchen! If anyone is genuinely looking for good food to try with an amazing environment, especially on a Friday night or the weekends come try out hefty gyros I give them a 10 out of 10 for sure and I've come back multiple times since Check out their loaded fries!

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.

Their truck

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

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.

This was my gyro when I opened it. As expected the super light weight gyro lacked in meat. I am not buying again.

The chicken pita gyro for $14 is the lightest wrap ever. Just felt like you are not buying food worth $14 or missing 70% of chicken in the wrap. On top of that, the tone of serving was a bit on the arrogant side. If only the wrap was good, I would have overlooked that. However the taste on the few tiny pieces of chicken inside the gyro was good.

Yumminess ..!

Just a little confusing why they have an online ordering and an in person ordering system at the same time. I ordered their loaded fries. They were definitely loaded but I've had comparable portions for $5-10 cheaper elsewhere. Their loaded fries for $18 included a burger patty, cheese, bacon, grilled onions and their special sauce. It was good but very salty. I honestly can't say if I'll try them again. While I didn't mind their loaded fries, they were kinda pricey vs other restaurants and too salty for my taste.

Yup, I went with the "crab mac & cheese grilled cheese" that's served with their homemade sea salt vinegar chips ($15). Crab mac & cheese alone is a wonderful idea, but to put it inside a perfect grilled cheese sandwich? Genius! The whole thing was a flavor bomb that exploded in my mouth! A creamy, cheesy, and rich filling inside buttery, crunchy sourdough bread. Are those angels I hear singing in the background? My food came up super fast, which was appreciated amongst the masses of a crowded beer festival. The only thing was that they weren't serving any beverages.

Pretty much the best I've had, though I wish the tails were removed. I guess it makes for a prettier Instagram pic, but I had to go through the sandwich and remove them before enjoying the goodness. The side of potatoes that came with it were insanely delicious too. Yesterday I tried the crab mac n cheese sandwich at the Sactomofo8. I have no idea how some of the other trucks had crazy lines and there was barely a line for Flavor Face. Maybe they were hidden a bit in the corner, but still. Anyway that sandwich was great, very flavorful. You could taste the crab in it, the ratio of the mac to crab was nice that way. They make a fabulous side of chips too. I'd upload a pic, but mine is exactly the same as Rich L's. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/flavor-face-mobile-food-and-catering-sacramento?select=y-cb4igmRSyOrd7gLHzdvg#y-cb4igmRSyOrd7gLHzdvg Look how perfect that thing is. These guys consistently know how to grill a piece of bread without getting it excessively greasy. Same could be said for frying the chips or the potato side I've had. It's all been perfectly cooked. Most of the menu items I've noticed are pretty decadent, but they have had some vegetarian things or quinoa salads as well. There are always interesting items so it's worth keeping an eye out for their appearances at SactoMofo events or breweries. Recommended.

Yummy chicken wings!…read more Had a chance to try James' Chicken Wings and Fries last night. It was to my understanding that these wings won the Golden Chicken Award at the Reno Wingfest and I can see (or rather, "taste") why! The wings were delicious, moist and flavorful, seasoned just right to perfection. $10 gives you six pieces of wings with lots of fries. He also gave me a teaser sampling of his Mac & Cheesy - 4 cheeses blended together and had me drooling for more! I suppose the $7 serving is shareable but who'd want to share! Get your own! LoL So delicious! I also had a taste of the Cheesy Garlic and Fries as well. Chicken with garlic and melted cheddar cheese that's a Truck favorite. Love at first bite... and second, and wish I had a third! I forgot I was mooching off my friend's meal! ahh! I could use a little more delicious in my day since I didn't have anything to eat since last night and Unforgettable Food Truck certainly delivered tonight! Find Unforgettable Food Truck at Cheers Sports Bar Friday and Saturday nights you'll see "Jimmy Earl's" truck parked right outside Cheers. He arrived around 5:00p and not sure what time he stays till. He will come around inside passing out menus and you can order from there. The food took awhile to come but the wait was worth it. So please don't interrupt me while I'm ignoring you... I'm just enjoying my chicken wings! Review #0741

We started with green beans, black eye peas with 'hocks' over rice, potato salad, and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was the hit for the kids as there were several different cheeses on there to hit the pallette. Then we went to the bbq. We had a sampler of carnitas, spare ribs, baby backs and chicken. Amazing taste and smoke flavor. No fried chicken today but I'm told that's the hit. Will have to hit up James and the truck for fried chicken next time we're in the area. I recommend this place. I understand James caters as well so call him to find out his wide array of culinary skills (and bbq and fried chicken). You will not be disappointed!

At first it was a one man show, ordering, cooking and getting the food out to customers and he was doing it all with a smile. Luckily some back up came a bit later and made things a lot easier for them but you could tell they were excited to be serving up delicious food, even on a last minute's notice. I ordered with some friends and together we got buffalo boneless wings, bbq boneless wings and a sandwich along with the Parmesan fries. Everything came out nice and hot and the sauces were tasty. The crinkle cut fries blew us away, perfectly seasoned and crispy. The sandwich was huge and loaded with toppings and the boneless wings were much bigger portion than we were expecting and had the perfect ratio of sauce/breading/chicken. They were out of the traditional (bone-in) wings since they filled in last minute but I cannot wait to try those as well.

Great menu, great food, even better customer service…read more Saucy Lito's where at Tower Brewing on Friday night so we have them a shot. I ordered the boneless buffalo wings. Unfortunately they were out of bone in wings, but no worries, bone less it is. My wife wanted the Kalbi short ribs basket. 8 minutes later our food was ready. Instead of getting the shirt rib basket I was given the short rib sandwich. I told him I ordered the basket and not the sandwich. Both gentlemen were very apologetic and told me to keep the sandwich on them and they would make a basket. A few minutes later the basket was ready. They threw on a few extra short ribs to apologize even more. The food was really good. The boneless wings were not over down, and the short ribs were outstanding. Through on top the great attitudes by the guys in the truck and you've got a 5 star truck. I look forward to trying some more food from them.
