Read Eater LA’s recent list of Where to Indulge in Loaded Fries in Los Angeles and South Bay’s King Mediterrano (5 stars on Yelp) caught my eye with their loaded gyro fries topped with Mediterranean veggies and sauce. They also serve Mediterranean burritos, nachos and quesadillas which seem fitting for Californians.
