The Fries: A Culinary Experience

What makes Tylixo's fries stand out?

At Tylixo, fries are more than just a quick grab and go meal—they are a culinary experience. Each day, the team hand-cuts fresh potatoes and follows a precise preparation process. They soak the fries to remove extra starch, achieving that perfect crispy texture. While ordinary fries can be bland, Tylixo’s offerings burst with flavor through innovative seasonings and toppings. They are fresh, piping hot and crispy, with the salty topping on punchy feta cheese, with a slight sweetening serving or oragano seasoning sprinkled on top. mmmmmmmm delcious!!
