Amount of chicken in the Gyro. Could have used a little more tomatoes. But that still didn't take away from the amount of chicken and the flavor. Awesome! My wife hasn't eaten hers yet It she is the reason we ordered tonight. Please don't change what you did!

The food was excellent. Everyone at the party said so. I'm not giving 5 stars because of communication issues. I was charged 300 for 11 extra plates. I was never told that would happen. Also the truck would not fit beside my house and found out they had a smaller truck but brought the larger one. All in all it was great but I would work on details if you use them.
