I love coming here! I've been here no less than a handful of times & it is consistently great food each time! All of the sauces are fire - tzatziki - hot sauce- garlic sauceThe meat is a great portion & tender. So much rice & I just can't waste it, too delicious. I love that the salad is a bigger portion than I usually see. It's nice to get those veggies in!The staff is also cool, they're good people.

Went here a few months ago. Beef kabob was pretty nasty, like it was in deep freeze and defrosted a few times. The chef did replace it with another dish after I said it tastes bad. The other food was just okay, not really a 4.5 review type of place.Portions were small for the price.

Overall 4.8 delicious food with good portions, nice and quick service and reasonably priced. Gyro and salad (~15$) was tasty and portions are good. Grilled zucchini (8$) was mighty tasty. I recommend it!My friend enjoyed their falafel sandwich very much and the fries were fried well.Everything tasted good and I recommend this place. I think the feta cheese is a bit too abundant but i wasnt mad about it! And its not salty so it doesnt overwhelm the dishes.

Had been meaning to try this place since it's next to El Azteca and I get breakfast burritos from there often. Finally decided to grab some take out from this place. I was welcomed when I walked in, it was late at night so there was no one in there, but I have seen it busy before. The lady attending the front and the cook in the back both seemed very welcoming and nice. I got the Chicken Shawarma Sandwich combo, it came with garlic fries and a fountain drink. This sandwich was pretty big and it's loaded! The chicken was flavorful and tender, the veggies tasted very fresh. The tzatziki sauce was delish! The fried has seasoning and a garlic sauce, I couldn't finish all of them because I was full from the sandwich. Both very good, will definitely be back to try some other things on the menu. Highly recommend!

I still love it here- the food is reliably good and the size hasn't shrunk because of inflation. I'm never able to finish my chicken pita because it's so big. They drizzle a garlic sauce over the chicken which makes it taste really good. Their hummus is tasty as well, and the side salad that comes with the sandwich looks like a full size salad from some other places. The cashiers here are always quick and nice too.

Very surprised this place is right next to El Azteca taco shop. I needed to have lunch and was initially thinking about just getting Chipotle, which is down the road. I just needed something on the light side. Seems like most Yelp reviews of this place were of the raving kind, and it does live up to that reputation. No frills, small eating space, but simple. The menu is easy enough, and there is a specials board to the right of the entrance.I ordered a Greek mix plate, which sounded interesting. I'm trying to lighten my beef intake after some rather concerning blood work, and that seemed ideal, as it had only chicken and lamb gyro meat. I also appreciated the smaller than usual drink cup, as I'm also trying to keep my soda intake down as well.The dining room is small as heck, and since we're also in the middle of a heatwave, it's not the most comfortable environs to eat. Ceiling fans aren't really enough, I think. There are no TVs, no music on the PA system. Like I said, no frills. I think some music wouldn't be so bad.The plate is quite good. Good mix of rice and meat. The fries I had were a substitute for the Greek salad. The fries were very good. Crispy, not too salty. The pita bread was a bit too hot though. Probably better than stiff and towards the lukewarm side.

I stopped in for a late dinner at Petrino's Greek Restaurant. They were one of the only spots near my nieces house that were open past 9 PM on a Monday. I ordered the gyro salad with lamb, tomato, cucumber and feta cheese. It came with a side of tzatziki and vinaigrette. I loved the homemade tzatziki and had to ask for more. I watched them shave the lamb meat, but I wish the meat had been warm. But I still enjoyed the salad I was excited they sold Pepsi! And they sold several homemade sauces you could take home and enjoy. My niece was happy I found this spot on Yelp as she'd never been. Service was friendly. I would recommend this spot if you're looking for some fresh Greek food.

The parking lot is a nightmare but not their fault, however it's worth the trouble. A great menu of items offered by friendly staff. The tables were clean, the order was prepared in a timely manner. Fresh ingredients on warm bread served with flavorful meat and Taziki sauce really hit the spot.

Friday night went to Petrino's for some delicious greek food. It was empty but super busy filling out Uber Eats orders. Decided to eat in!Got the Greek mix plate it's gyro, chicken shawarma, rice and a salad. I also ordered a side of falafel. All for under $20. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the gyro was big slices of tastiness, the salad w the dressing was really yummy too. The rice was ok but needed something. The owner Tom must of read my mind cause he offered me some of their home made garlic sauce! OMG that made the rice so tasty. I'm not a hot sauce person but Petrino's was right blend of heat and spiciness. Tom is super friendly, takes pride in his food and service! I'll be back! Tom, I need 4 of those garlic sauces!
