wait time: No wait time since the heat made people generally weary of going out and standing in lines. There were no to little lines at three other food trucks nearby. The time between order and receiving your food is like most other kebab/gyro trucks, which is short.
"Gyro on Pita"
Today, I ventured out into the heat of the city and found the lines of the food trucks correlating with the rising temperatures; as the temperatures got hotter, the lines grew shorter. Finding respite only with the occasional cloud cover and the breezes of warm wind, I decided to try one of the suddenly many kebab/gyro trucks. The Royal Chicken and Gyro Truck, being one of the newer trucks in this crowded field, made my choice easy with only two types of meat and two types of starch for six easy to remember combinations. I went with the simply Gyro on Pita (see above picture), while a friend went with the Chicken on Rice (see below picture).
The Gyro on Pita was solid with nicely charred lamb pieces that were also seasoned well. The pieces of meat with fresh chopped onion, lettuce and tomatoes topped with a pleasant "white sauce"/yogurt blended well with the thick pita that quickly soaked up any excess juices. The only "fault" of this sandwich was that so much was piled on that it was hard to eat as a handheld sandwich. Instead, one had to treat it as almost an open-faced sandwich or mediterranean taco. Maybe the pita could have been bigger, but any suggestion for less meat or salad would be the real "fault". The Chicken on Rice was okay where the chicken and long grained rice both could have been seasoned a little more aggressively.
"Chicken on Rice"
Final Verdict: I would personally go with the tastier gyro meat than the chicken or a combo of the two. The pita option though smaller is equally as filling as the rice option and two dollars less to boot. So, if you want a quick, tasty lunch, then feel free to try the Royal Chicken and Gyro Truck's Gyro on Pita, which I personally think is the best deal.
