Over the past decade, Sac has exploded with gyro restaurants, and in the realm of gyros, Falafel Corner is at the top of my list. Falafel Corner is consistently delicious! The food comes straight off the grill and is SO fresh, it's scalding burn-your-mouth hot.
Honestly I was confused about the menu. It's a Bad Mash of random stuff.. gyros, phillies, burgers, and pizza? Maybe that's where they got their Bad Mash Burger name from? But whatever you get, it's sure to hit the spot.
Gyro Wrap 5/5*
The meat is carved off the spit and they sautéed it on the grill, so your gyro comes out piping hot. The meat is seasoned to perfection with just the right amount of depth and saltiness to compliment with the tzatziki sauce and refreshing crispness of the veggies; and that pita bread! Let me tell you.. pillows. So soft and fluffy!
Philly Wrap 5/5*
If you think the Gyro Wrap is piping hot, wait until you take a bite of the Philly Wrap. This beast will burn your tastebuds off. The combo of sliced beef, melty cheese, bell peppers, and onion somehow really keeps the heat in, even to the very last bite.
Philly Fries 5/5*
Ok, what can be so special, right? Same ingredients as the Philly Wrap but on fries instead of pita bread. Well, these fries are SKINNY fries (McD's fries lovers, you know what I'm talking about). The fries are crispy and are loaded with all the great flavors from the Philly Wrap plus more cheese and sauce. Not to mention the portion size is ginormous!
Bad Mash Burger 5/5*
I'm always skeptical about burgers at a gyro place, but this one seems to be their specialty. Once I've tried it, I was hooked. The beef patty is seasoned just as perfect as the gyro meat and this monster is seriously loaded with all the works and to top it off, an oozy egg. Wow. This burger had better flavors than some of the other burger restaurants I've tried.
Gyro Pizza 3/5*
This sounded like it would be a great fusion item, but sadly it wasn't a hit for me. The pizza was exactly what its name described. There wasn't much veggies or any other ingredients to balance out the pizza, so it was one-noted. The crust was surprisingly good though - crisp with a slight fluffy texture.
If there was a battle of the meats, Falafel Corner chefs would definitely be the reigning champ. Their seasoning has such depth that I can't figure out their combo of herbs and spices, and has enough saltiness to bring out all the flavors. Some other reviewers said it's too salty, but I'm not a salty eater and this wasn't salty for me. Stay salty, Falafel Corner, stay salty.
