I had a good gyro over in west ames at some little grocery store I can't remember the name.

I would guess that's the place I mentioned - in Colorado Junction?

Also, I've found that while Fighting Burrito's burritos are average, their nachos are fantastic. And they deliver them to you. They deliver nachos. You're welcome.

Fighting burrito is good for one thing: soaking up booze after a long night of drinking

Other than that it's turrible

Well, the next time you're hungry, can drive 15 min. and want some home style food, head to the Golden Corral in Boone. All you can eat buffet, and it's good!

Qdoba>Pancheros (before Qdoba closed down)

Also, Fighting Burrito delivery>Pancheros delivery :smile:

Quoted for truth. About the only thing Pancheros does well is does a great job mixing the bland tasting chicken in with the not-so-spicy salsa.

I don't absolutely hate Pancheros, but I think Qdoba was far and away better, especially with their queso. It tastes like legit homemade queso and they gave you way way more than Pancheros does. Pancheros queso has a little bit of a velveeta-y flavor, which isn't as good for me.
