Steve likes a good gyro. Austin would know a good gyro. I sought out a good gyro place to surprise him. But as you read, I was looking in Austin, so the place I found was fun, tasty, and fresh.
I started with Yelp, and soon found Verts. Bee Cave, TX wasn't too far away since I was near the Hill Country - scouring Goodwill stores in Austin (but that is for another post) so...
A very friendly (we're in the south, y'all) patron in front of me could see me craning my neck to figure out how to order. He quickly explained the process, and told me that he ate there at least three to five times a week! I liken Verts to the gyro version of Chipotle. Clean, fun, fresh gyros, with a vegan version to boot.
The guys that started Verts are Germans who went through the MBA program in Austin. With all the great food and the quantity of Food Trucks around town, they thought they would serve up food they loved and missed: Berlin-style gyros that are super popular as street food. They started serving out of a Smartcar, and have quickly expanded. There are several brick and mortar locations, and more to come.
Although I am super sensitive to salt, and Verts can be salty, this is also on my permanent Austin Food List. We are going to have to make our vacations longer to get in our favorites AND make new finds. What a delightful First World problem.
Four Noms out of five.
(Sorry... Took off one for the quantity of salt.)
