This is gotta be the only alien taco, gyro, barbecue place in the United States. Fun!

If you blink, you will miss this place. It is right near the train tracks near the Auburn truckstop at I55 & IL Rt 104. Super clean inside. Tacos and gyros are sizeable and they use good ingredients, with their own proprietary seasonings and sauces. Go check them out or order a bunch for pickup.

Great food. Delicious gyros with tasty, moist, well seasoned meat and fresh sauce.Clean environment. Nice bathroom. Owners are super friendly and hard working. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. Really creative, eclectic decorating.

A fun stop on our road trip- I was looking out for it or might have missed it! The food was great, and the owner very friendly. He even let my toddler have a toy he was interested in. We will definitely go back if we pass that way again!

What a great place! Some fun stuff in there and the owners are awesome. I always get a gyro salad and am never disappointed. It’s worth checking out.

Great place to have an encounter with some far out food! Incredible people. Love the good vibes and infinite dimensions of wisdom it contains! Also they have free gumballs!!

Love this place. They haven't gouged the prices like most places and the food, portions and quality are amazing. I like to stop in on the way home and grab food for the whole family. The tacos are packed full. The New Bacon Ranch Encounter is amazing and their home-made sauces are great. Try Alien Fyre powder for some extra kick.

Had the Encounter: gyro taco & it was super yummy. Really cool spot. Lots of really unique memorabilia: Route 66 stuff, Area 51, StarWars, Glass work.

This restaurant is a local family owned and run business with a neat little atmosphere. The owner made sure we enjoyed our experience, even going as far as making another gyro for my wife who has a specific taste for certain foods. Would give 6 stars to balance out his rating back to 5 total if I could!
