Me: "Wanna go to California Adventure tomorrow night"?
Andy: "Uhh.. not really. Why"?
Me: "A Greek Food Truck will be there"
Andy: "We'll be there after work"
Tonight we hit up Louks: A Greek Gourmet Truck. It was pleasantly located right inside California Adventure, in Anaheim, CA this evening. Andy is a huge Greek food fan. I think he still has dreams of his year, studied abroad, in Australia, where he swears to me he had some of the best Greek and Lebanese food known to man. So, it wasn't too difficult to get him inside California Adventure, on a incredibly busy Thursday night, to partake in some tasty Greek goodness.
Louk's has just a few things on their menu, which makes me happy. Usually, this is a sign of a few things cooked really, really well. This was certainly the case at Louk's. Andy had the falafel (homemade falafel, I might add) that had cucumber, red onion, lettuce, tomato, tzatziki sauce, and french fries. Yes, my friends, I said fries. I had the beef gyro (yes, I ate meat and it was good) with red onion, tomato, tzatziki sauce and those incredibly happy french fries. Let me just take a moment to express the happiness that we experienced this evening. It was awesome! The guy who made everything had asked Andy to honestly tell him what he thought of the falafel (since Andy had asked first if it was homemade). He was super happy when we told him that it was some of the best Greek food we had enjoyed in a really long time. It was superb, really. I'm not even a really big fan of tzatziki sauce, but I took that gyro down like it was nobody's business. I'll have this picture in my dreams later... (sorry for the crappy quality of picture.. it was taken with my camera phone in dim light). Do notice those french fries.
So, after a delicious meal, we contemplated some dessert, but we just couldn't do it. Such wusses! We walked around California Adventure, stood in line forever to play Toy Story Mania, and then as we walked out past the truck, we looked at each other, with a knowing look in each others' eyes. Yep. We're going back for dessert.
They make a mini Greek doughnut ball called a loukomade. Little fried doughy sugary nom noms, if you will. Then they take it a step further and top it with any of the following: nutella, nutella & bananas, powdered sugar, strawberry sauce, or honey. We opted for the nutella/banana combo. A little sad when he told us they were out of bananas, but not for long.. he told us he does a nutella/honey combo that he doesn't have on the regular menu. "Would we like that instead?" Are you serious? We would love to have something on the secret, only-in-the-know menu! He proceeded to drown our fried goodies in nutella and some delicious honey. Holy. Crap. My picture doesn't do it justice. Let me just say, at that moment, the happiest place on earth was not across the park. It was at a little table, where myself and and my husband were devouring our amazing dessert. Check these out:
If you are anywhere near this food truck, you gotta go. It's fantastic. Will we stalk it again? Absolutely. Here's the website to make it that much easier for us to get our fix:
