Avo’s (Gyros-Burgers-Philly’s-Salads)(Spring Valley)

Thanks for dropping by mmm-yoso!!! on this overly hot weekend.  Cathy is writing today, while Kirk and Ed (from Yuma) are doing other things.

The other day, The Mister and I were out in Spring Valley, just across the street from Santa Sophia Catholic Church, which is undergoing some reinforcing construction. The tower and barrel roof can be seen from most of the Casa de Oro area.IMG_6909

We were looking for a place to eat after running our errand and saw this storefront- IMG_6910

So, we walked over… IMG_6897

Stepping inside the small ordering area which had two tables inside and two tables out in front, it was obvious this used to be a business which sold grab and go pizza. IMG_6901IMG_6896

Those three posters are the menu and the specials.  Simple.

We ordered two gyro sandwiches ($7.50).  The bread is made fresh here- in those pizza ovens. The meat was the standard gyros meat, sliced thck and grilled to give it a bit of a crust, which I very much enjoyed. The sandwiches were topped with onion, tomato and a fresh sauce.  The sandwiches were quite large.

The Greek Salad ($5) was great on this warm day; crisp and cool mixed greens topped with cucmber, tomato, onion, Feta and a good size portion of a tangy, creamy dressing.  

Another great find. Stay cool this weekend!
