Gyro Place

I had my first Gyro Place gyro and fries earlier this week, and wow, I am impressed! A few friends had been recommending this food cart for a long time, and now I understand why!I enjoyed the double Lamb gyro, which in my opinion, was the perfect size to satiate my cravings. The tenderest lamb was well paired with various Greek sauces, vegetables, and warm pita. It was wrapped so well that I didn't need to worry about dropping anything on my clothes.The fries were perfectly cooked with not too much crispiness, and everything was served at the ideal temperature for a cold and rainy Monday. Thankfully, Gyro Place is on DoorDash if you cannot reach the physical store. Remember to tip - this place is good!

Came down to midtown beer garden and had to try this delicious looking food truck ! The owner was friendly , prices average , and the menu had a wide variety for being a food truck . The flavors were great I'll definitely be returning . Check it out for a fresh bite ! My order - Mezza plate : lots of falafel , tabouli, hummus, and yummy tzatziki ( $13 )

Great late-night grub!Location: One of the many amazing food pods that Portland has to offer.Food: The food tastes amazing. I ordered the lamb gyro and was taken back by how big the portion was! It is very much so worth the price ($7). Their most popular is the lamb gyro and I can see why. Their gyros are packed with a lot of flavor. Service: The worker was super nice and friendly. She was not only the cashier but also the cook. Your food might take awhile but it's understandable as only one person is working for the whole pod. She had a such a positive attitude.Overall, I would definitely come back to get another gyro!

Stopped by here for a late dinner to go. It was a few blocks away from my hotel and felt a little sketchy on the way there, but the actual location is great, near the metro corridor that is patrolled by transit employees and it felt safe and lively with all the other food truck businesses and customers.I got the lamb gyro plate and it was massive, enough for two or even three meals. What a deal! Flavor was great too...I enjoyed the seasoning on the tender meat and the taste of the tzatziki sauce. Not a huge fan of the rice texture but that isn't supposed to be the star so I'll overlook it.The owner was in the back of the truck talking to security when I got there, as it was a quiet weeknight. I got his attention and he promptly took my order and started cooking. He even gave me a sample of his delicious lentil soup while I waited, a perfect amuse-bouche for that chilly night. He was very sweet. I would definitely return again on my next visit based on this experience.

Fast service compared to the other carts in this pod. Great selection, not too crazily overpriced. Ordered the kofta saj, which was pretty spot on delicious!

This place was my favorite meal during our trip to Portland, for both taste and worth it factor. An actually distance too - this place was like half a block away from our hotel and open for the longest hours. My only regret is not having this on our first night as well so I could've eaten it twice! My boyfriend and I split the lamb over rice and the double lamb gyro. Both were really tasty but the dish that keeps me up at night is the lamb over rice. It's just a perfect proportion of everything - rice, meat and sauce. And the lamb is tender and so flavorful. Man I really wish I can be eating it again right now... The lamb gyro was good, but the meat was just enough even though we got the double. I think without the double, it'd definitely be way too bready, so I do wish they'd put more meat in the gyro overall. While we were only in Portland for 1.5 days and 2 nights, this place left such a strong impression, I really want to come back next time we're in town!

Quite possibly the best bang for your buck in Portland! I was staying at the Marriot across the street and needed some late night grub and found Gyro Place on Yelp. To my surprise, their lamb gyro here is ONLY $5. Yes, $5 flat. Coming from the Bay Area, I couldn't believe it, where something like that would run upwards of $13 plus tax.Aside from the ridiculously amazingly deal, the lamb gyro is delicious and one of the best I've had. The pita bread was warm and fresh, and the lamb meat was super tender, tasty, and flavorful. They don't skimp on the meat either, as it was overflowing out of the pita.I loved the gyro so much, I went back two more times before my trip in Portland ended. Contrary to what I've read in reviews, they are not open 24/7. I asked and they are open until 2 AM every day.Depending on who is making your gyro, the white sauce can be a bit much, so I would recommend asking for light sauce or sauce on the side. They make everything fresh to order, so it could take 10 min or so to wait for your order. They take credit card.If you're coming late at night, be vigilant in the area, as you will mostly likely run into a homeless person. One time when I was waiting for my order around 10:30 PM I was approached by three separate homeless people. Just FYI.

I am not a food cart person but this place made me reconsider that. First of all - what a completely lovely gent working there to answer all our questions with such patience. We were mighty hungry after seeing a performance over at PSU and I remembered that this spot had a few carts open late. We were there till pretty wee hours and they were still open. A lot of times you get creepers lurking around but nope, just sweet college kids grabbing late night vittles. There are some tables and trash cans across the street by the Engineering building for PSU also. We were going to sit in my car and were sort of annoyed till we saw those seats. Be aware that Portland has rats - it really is a city thing so you will see rats and its not a reflection on the food places and they won't go near you. Anyhoo... my friend is vegan and she was super happy with the options. He was out of a few things and was really great working with her so she could substitute things and also try a lot of things. I asked about the difference between the shawarma and the gyro and it is mostly the bread. They use a standard pita for the gyro where the shawarma is an Iraqi bread made local and it is bigger - do that! That bread was incredible. My friend and I were also delighted that he had Coke AND Pepsi since she likes Coke and I am Pepsi though they also have Orange Crush and I would have done that. I appreciate an ice cold beverage and options - I wish there was ice but that ain't happening at a food truck (which is one of my issues with food trucks) though my drink was wonderfully cold which was great! Their prices are pretty great too considering that portion size is epic!!

I got a chicken gyro and fries. This is the best chicken gyro I've ever had. It was cooked perfectly seasoned really well. Really really good
