Pita King

The gyro was huge and flavorful. The place is clean and the owner is very nice. I could only eat half and had to take the rest home.

Was craving a quick fix for Greek and this place hit the spot. I got the gyro that had thick, moist slices of gyro meat with lots of feta ($1 added charge) tomato, cucumber, lettuce. Yum. It's nestled away in a gas station parking lot. I hope this place gets well-deserved traction despite the kinda hidden location! The restaurant is a humble, clean establishment. Has chairs for seating. Service was prompt and friendly. Will be back 9/10!

It's a shame, but this formerly enjoyable place has been sold in the last couple of months and the new owner has policies and practices that are not customer oriented. For one thing it's now very unpleasant on the inside; dark and closed in with gray walls and a black ceiling, plus the windows block both the light and the view with signage. When I was there the A/C wasn't working and it was a warm day. I had planned to eat there but couldn't wait to get out. I could go on, but you get the idea. And you'll notice that you are being nickled and dimed for about everything as well.The chicken pita was still tasty so that's worth a star.

The food was good, great portions! But! We got there when they just opened only 1 person handling the front and kitchen and our food took an hr to be ready.

Gyro King of Escondido. This strip mall location, which is behind a gas station, has been serving up piles of tasty gyro for over a decade.Locals know this place very well. It's consistently fresh and tasty. Price is affordable for their large portions. Their gyro meat and rice both have a very distinctive flavor. I find it unique and delicious.Not much ambiance - There's a dining area, but this place does a brisk take out business for a reason.- Massive gyro sandwich

Came here yesterday and the gentleman who helped me was very respectful and quick to make my food. Great customer service....no complaints there. Problem is, my Gyro wrap was super salty. So salty, I could not eat it all and had to give a lot to my children. Thankfully, they enjoyed it. I haven't ever encountered a restaurant that had made my food too salty, so this was a first. I'll come again, but just request less salt.

It's been years since I first tried Pita king. It was and continues to be the best gyro I've ever had. There is absolutely no better place in Escondido to get a gyro. Must get with feta! It's so creamy and smooth. The gyro meat is so flavorful with the perfect char. The pita chips are excellent made from their pita bread which is great. The gyro is massive and easily 2 meals! You pretty much get a salad on top of it and when you get to the bottom of that there's a pile of gyro meat! The people are always friendly and now I live closer to it so I'll be supporting the business more often now. Thanks Pita King!

I drive from San Marco's. I arrived at 7:40. Employee let me know they are closed closed. It took me 15 minutes to get home. That's when I screenshot what their hours were. Had I known they would be closed I would have never made my way over there with a toddler on Mother's Day.

Every time we are in San Diego, we stop by Pita King to get our favorite Greek food! It's their Gyro Plate with hand carved beef or lamb for $17 regular/$20 Large. Pita King never disappoints! Portions are huge and the Gyros and sauces are fresh and delicious. You can eat in as there are clean and comfy chairs and tables for diners. Or you can have your food to go as I always do. The service is great- fast and easy. It is a casual Greek place and it's clean and big enough. It's right across from a gas station and convenience store so everything is there for your convenience. Great place to stop by if you're on for a long drive to Vegas!

So the first time I ate here , it was a 5+ for me ! I was excited to return for the same experience , but was SO Disappointed when it wasn't on Tuesday evening. Delicious falafel first time !Not sure what happened Tuesday. Luckily the hummus which I am assuming is homemade was very good ! But not as good as first time .Salad is nice .So bottom line , I will give it one more shot sometime but only if the person preparing the first time is there.
