Fast food, good amount. The red spicy sauce need more work, tastes like chilli powder mixed with water and all, but the white sauce and bbq sauce was decent. It’s a great spot to get something fast and cheap for the amount.

I absolutely love this place. The people are friendly and I've gotten to know them to the point where I just show up and they know my order. Although it's a cart, it feels like a neighborhood restaurant where you walk by and say hi and are greeted by smiles. This Is thr best chicken over rice and gyros in the area. The prices are amazing and the food is simply delicious. If you are in the neighborhood defenitly stop by!
