We were in Oxford for a public event and decided to grab a bite to eat there rather than drive back to our neighborhood .
Checking the Yelp app we saw Tavo and saw it had a lot of 4 & t star reviews and thought, cool! Let's give it a shot.
It's on the main street and stuck in between some other businesses and if you're driving by might just miss it. So keep your eyes open if you're driving through Oxford.
We walk in and are greeted by a gentleman behind the counter with a big smile and "hello!". He asks if this is our first time there. We say yes and he tells us to take our time. The other couple with us orders first, the my wife and I order. Everything there was made at the time of order. When it came time to make my gyro, he laid out the wrap then started loading on the meat. It seemed he just kept grabbing meat from the pan ( it had been previously prepared, not freshly sliced from a rotating chunk) then turned to me with a grin and asked what toppings I wanted. It was HUGE! I only ate half and took the rest home and had it for lunch the next day (still tasted great!)
When I got to our table it was the same with all the food. huge portions, all fresh food. Good stuff!
Ambience, well, it was more a like a slightly darker Subway, interesting lighting, table secured to the wall. Nothing fancy, that type of thing. I think it is more focused on the college kids that go to Miami U just down the street.
But, overall, for a quick, tasty lunch or dinner, this is a great place to go! Definitely recommend it! read more
