I ordered the veggie pita for a quick dinner before going to see a concert nearby. I've gotten the veggie pita a number of times from various locations and it always hits the spot. Service was pretty standard. I ordered at the counter & waited for my food. I did ask for no red onions in my pita, which they forgot to do. Not a huge deal as I picked out what I didn't want to eat. There was plenty of seating available, inside and out while I was eating. It was a nice day, so I ate outside.
A little expensive but my gyro was packed with juicy hot meat. Fries in the gyro were odd but it didn't bother me much, food came out in a matter of minutes but it took 20 minutes for my friends burger to arrive. Clean inside and the bathroom wasn't too nasty, refillable cup always a plus.
A simple but tasty Greek eat in/take out joint is open till 11:00p.m. and, if you are a vegetarian, their veggie options are very tasty. It is centrally located downtown and orders a great alternative to Eric's Deli or Subway and is comparably priced.
I mean, it's alright. I received much better food and service at Achilles in Midtown.
Food delicious, I didn't know what to order but the lady at the register was really helpful and explained the menu than she jumped back in the kitchen and got my food ready l, i asked for her name she said Sol! I got a beef lamb giro with the greek fries very tasty, fries nice and warm, definitely coming back here
Overall, I had a good visit to Nick The Greek. It was open late, so it was a nice break from the pizza and Mexican restaurants open at the same time. I ordered a lamb gyro meal which came with fries and a drink for $17.43 after tax. It seemed a little expensive, so I had high hopes. The gyro was filled with lamb, tomatoes, onions, French fries, and tzatziki. The lamb and was hot, seasoned well, and delicious. The tomatoes, onions, tzatziki were cool, creamy, and refreshing. The French fries seemed a little out of pl... read more
Food was amazing! I love how they stay open late because it is a good choice if you want a healthy option other than fast food. Just place to try if you are stopping in Santa Cruz!
mustard sauce with their souvlaki chicken wrap is delicious!
Excellent Greek food with fast service and not too expensive. The gyros are outstanding and is in a generous serving of food so you are not left hungry. The employees aren't the most friendly but otherwise Nick the Greek is an excellent place to eat.
