    Greek Chicken Salad

    I stay door dashing the Greek chicken salad to work at least once a week. It always hits the spot. It's yummy and nutritious. Some days it's extra good. Tried to pull up one time and I was super confused on whether it was open or not? But it keeps getting delivered so the door dash drivers find it.

    Beef and Chicken Kebab Combo

    Just had a great meal delivered via DoorDash. I ordered the kabob combo - beef and chicken. The beef was super tender. Generous portion. Loved the flavor of the tzatziki. Really enjoyed it. Definitely the best DoorDash I've had. Travelled well! Probably even more delicious in person. Will absolutely be ordering from them again.

    Had a craving for a gyro sandwich, and believe it or not, I was cruising down El Cajon Blvd., when I saw a sign that said Greek and American Food. No kidding, I was flying off the seats of my pants. when I made a quick right and stopped here. When all the the dust had settled, I ordered a the gyro combo with fries and a drink for $6.45 The gyro sandwich tasted great and as you can see it came well stacked with gyro meat. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/elsas-kitchen-san-diego?select=R3EE-_E4vsOqRrNcD0B-qA#adF96uYVaJ40Efhmx7zFVQ) The sammi was simple and came with tomatoes and onions only. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/elsas-kitchen-san-diego?select=R3EE-_E4vsOqRrNcD0B-qA#oP02xxvGT3GCiBy_MCmGcQ) I spread some of their yogurt dressing sammi which was descent, but a little bland. It needed some more aggressive seasoning and lemon juice. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/elsas-kitchen-san-diego?select=R3EE-_E4vsOqRrNcD0B-qA#8E8I_QxGUeM_IEBqjz_dXg) Overall, it was a very good gyro sandwich. The fries that came with the combo were okay. They were typical previously frozen fries. They were well fried and decently seasoned. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/elsas-kitchen-san-diego?select=R3EE-_E4vsOqRrNcD0B-qA#kki7j2Ra1ldsWWRiecLHBA) One thing that did disappoint me was the ice tea I ordered. First of all, I told the employee I wanted unsweetened iced tea. I told him twice to make sure, but to make a long story short, I was handed sweetened, perhaps, Brisk fountain drink iced that was unwelcoming to sweet for me. Not my cup of tea, so to speak, so I did not drink it and I yelped it! (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/elsas-kitchen-san-diego?select=R3EE-_E4vsOqRrNcD0B-qA#-EVaVZyK61In13TgRcRmYA) The service was okay. A little indifferent, but not unfriendly. The place is very simple and perhaps a borderline whole in the wall-ish place. That being said, they make a good gyro sandwich with a lot of good gyro meat.

    I've heard GREAT things about this place. I just picked my food and it smells on POINT!!!

    Elsa's kitchen is a nice little find! They have a very good Gyro sandwich and the frenchfries are super yummy and delicious. I could eat their frenchfries all day!!! The falafel and spanikopita ( I probably misspelled that ) are just ok. I've also tried the gyro salad which was pretty good. Overall really decent food and portions for the money. I wish they offered garlic sauce as an alternative to the tziki sauce thus the 4 out of 5 stars.

    My boyfriend, friends, and I are regulars at The Hills Bar and usually come here 1-2 times a week…read more We've always enjoyed the food, drinks, and arcade area, which is why tonight's experience was so disappointing. A youth baseball team from Casa de Oro Little League ("The Party Animals") appeared to be having a team celebration here, and the situation was completely out of control. There were roughly 30 children, ranging from about 5-11 years old, running throughout the arcade and bar area. Kids were climbing on virtually every game, including the pinball machines, basketball games, skee-ball, baseball games, beer pong tables, and Dance Dance Revolution. They were screaming at the top of their lungs, throwing coasters around, hitting people, and even knocking over drinks at nearby tables. What made the situation worse was the complete lack of supervision. Many parents were outside while the kids ran wild inside, and the few adults who were present did not seem interested in correcting the behavior or intervening at all. I understand that servers and bartenders are not babysitters, and I don't expect them to parent other people's children. However, at some point management should have stepped in. This wasn't normal kid behavior or a little extra noise--it was genuine chaos that was impacting other paying customers trying to enjoy their evening. We've always liked The Hills and have spent a lot of money here over the years, which is why it's so frustrating to write this review. Tonight was easily the worst experience we've ever had here. If management is going to allow large youth sports parties in the future, there needs to be some expectation of supervision and basic respect for other guests. Unfortunately, after tonight, we're seriously reconsidering whether we'll be coming back.

I've tried some of the other locations (liberty station especially can sometimes overcook their wings) but this location always gets it right. The location is fairly large- many tables and a bar area but it does fill up on nights where there are games being shown. There is sometimes a bit of a wait but always a good vibe here. The servers are friendly and check in throughout the meal.

    First time coming to this iconic San Diego wing spot/sports bar. The interior wasn't very bright…read morebut you could see and there were a good amount of TVs to watch the games they were playing. I was seated quickly on this bar table thing (not the actual bar) and it was high up. The prices were pretty expensive at $12.50 for five wings, not including any sides/sauces. I came here on a Monday and got the Monday AYCE wing special. The AYCE made it more worth it but still a bit pricy at $31 per person. For AYCE, it comes with fries or tater tots, a sauce, 10 wings, and some carrots and celery for your first order. After that, you get 5 wings per refill. The wings were a good size though the skin wasn't really crispy or anything. I tried buffalo, lemon pepper, and flaming honey mustard. Buffalo and lemon pepper are my go to flavors but I didn't really enjoy any of the flavors I tried. There were an overwhelming amount of flavors so it was a bit hard to choose on the spot with AYCE but now I wish I tried some different ones. Our waitress was pretty nice and checked in on us a good amount. Overall, I felt like the food was just okay, and for the value made it less good. My rating is a bit higher because of the service. I might come back to try some other flavors since this is such an iconic San Diego chain.
