A simple spot where you order at the counter before sitting down. The restaurant itself is very plain, but the service stood out the lady at the register was very sweet. The food was decent. The tuna melt was a bit different, coming with mushrooms, which gave it an unexpected twist. The chipotle chicken wrap felt like a mix between a wrap and a burrito (minus the beans), which made it filling but slightly unusual. The side of fries was a highlight crispy and well done. Drinks are self-serve, which fits the casual setup. Overall, it's a basic place with friendly service and a few interesting menu twists, though the food itself didn't quite stand out. read more

The gyro wrap was pretty light and tasty. It was missing some type of sauce for flavor but it wasn't dry at all. I may come back to try something else. The fries were tasty tho! read more

It's been a few years since I've been here but we needed to grab food quickly before a meeting nearby. I ordered the food through DoorDash and my husband tried to pick it up for us but they wouldn't give it to him. A little frustrating because he said my name and what we got. So I had to leave and come pick up the meal. I got the veggie sandwich which was a pretty basic sandwich. My husband got the combo platter with chicken and lamb. We both ate it faster than I could take pictures. It's good to see this place grow, add more options. Parking is a little chaotic since it's a shared lot with a handful of other businesses. Being so close to the border, there's a lot foot traffic so watch out for pedestrians crossing roads. This space had plenty of seating and seemed extra spacious. Lots of tables of different sizes. read more

I've been going to Erik's for years. Food is absolutely great. However, recently they've been majorly letting me down when it comes to the salads. Just today I ordered a house salad, made a bunch of modifications removing most toppings as I ONLY wanted romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and the protein. I got what I believe is just spring mix and salmon. There was maybe like 4 pieces of romaine in there. Not sure if they just don't offer romaine but this is happened twice now. I'm very disappointed, this isn't want I ordered. Despite that, salmon was perfect. They're usually a great place to eat I enjoy. read more

We were down in Otay for an interview to renew a sentri pass. Flew through the interview, so decided to find someplace to have lunch before heading to the hotel. My wife and I got a bottled beer and a cheeseburger and fries with no added salt.. The counter person said they don't add salt to any of their dishes, so it was great. The fries were very good and the cheeseburgers had lots of lettuce, tomatoes and onions to hit the spot. read more

The menu is big, the food is great. I had the Lamb plate with Salad, my friend had the Gyro. The Gyro was $10, the plate was $15..if I can remember. The lady at the counter was super nice! They have a solid thing going on. Business was booming. The outside dining area is nice and quaint. Don't let the outside fool you. This is a place I have been back to a few times. It's across from the border entry in Otay Mesa...seems to be frequented by agents that work at the port. read more

I am addicted to the tuna melt. They also have great Mediterranean salads. The staff is always so friendly. This is my go to spot for lunch since I work in the area. read more

Erik's is good. It's becoming a "must stop" when I'm down by the border. Located right across the street in a small shopping center. It's a shared parking lot with not a lot of driveway space, so parking and maneuvering through the lot can be a pain. Staff is friendly and they have a good selection of sandwiches, gyros, burgers, etc which are all pretty good. Inside and outside seating and restrooms for customers only. The price is reasonable for what you get. I'll definitely continue coming back to Erik's! read more

Absolutely loved my lunch here! I ordered the mahi mahi wrap which came with perfectly grilled, moist mahi mahi, avocado, tomatoes, red onions, lettuce with a chipotle sauce. The pita bread was soft and chewy and was the perfect vehicle to all the wonderful goodness inside. I ordered a side of fresh fries and they were perfectly cooked and crispy. I asked for a side of ranch to accompany the meal. They have an area with complimentary pickled jalapeños, red spicy salsa, grilled peppers, and ketchup. The place was popping at lunch, which shows that many people love coming here! They were friendly and efficient with their service! They have indoor and outdoor patio seating. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh and such great value! My whole meal was only $13, a win in this economy! read more

I paid for 3 Orders of Lamb Gyro and instead of getting 18oz I got 12oz. I also paid for 2 Orders of the Grilled Chicken and instead of getting 12oz I got 10oz. I weighed them at home including the container and pieces of Lettuce. So the actual weight of the Meat was definitely less. These guys are scammers so beware when you order take out. read more

While you might be unlikely to make a special trip to the border to try a restaurant, this place might make it worth the trip. Located in a small mall just north of the Otay border, this place is very large, very clean, and serves up delicious Greek style food. Six of us showed up on a Saturday afternoon, and we were not disappointed. Most had the Greek food choices, and everyone loved their food. I had a Philly cheese steak sandwich to dry something different and it was great. Parking was easy, and the friendly service was perfect. read more

Best food place around the area! Driving around looking for a place to eat that was good and affordable! We found it!!!!! We saw lots of Homeland Security Officers eating there and asked if the place was good, highly recommended. They offer a variety of food that was delicious, big portions and inexpensive. I definitely will return next time I'm at the Mexican Boarder. read more

I have been going to Erik's for years, a little place right along the border that has fantastic, fresh, delicious food. I would highly recommend this place for lunch. Some of my favorite Greek dishes that I crave because I don't live in the area. read more

I'm on a business trip from Los Angeles and wanted to give this a try. Costumer service and ambiance is outstanding. I ordered the beef Kaboob, I don't think it's really Mediterranean food. Mediterranean food consists of Jasmine rice, Greek mint yougurt dressing. They use regular rice and sour cream as their Mint dressing. I think it needs its original ingredients to be considered a good Mediterranean dish. read more

Greetings Otay Mesa, California!!!!' This place is pretty good I had the falafel Pita sandwich, it was pretty good after a day in the desert. read more

The food is delicious! I highly recommend the chicken kabob plate. The service is great and the ambiance is fast food style.

I really love gyros. We were here a month ago and i ordered some Lamb Gyros which were delicious here. Not my first time having one either. We also tried their Chicken Kebab plate which was also good. Customer service was good. Fries are side orders here as well. Food is not really expensive either. I will be back . read more

The food is made fresh which is always a bonus. The food is very good and I'm grateful for a very good restaurant in an area with limited options. read more

Super fresh, super tasty. Nothing else like it in the area. Can get busy, for good reason. Totally worth it

What a horrible place to eat. Over priced bad customer service at best average food. It's only still in business because it us next to customs at border. Not many options other than Mexican food. If you work for Amazon find another restaurant. Don't support bad customer service. Eat elsewhere read more

Friendly staff and great food! The inside was clean they give a decent amount of food. You order at the counter and your name is called for you to pick up your food at the counter. There is outdoor and indoor seating. There is a soda machine for drinks and horchata and jamaica drinks available. There is a variety of options on the menu from platters to salads to gyros and dessert. I got the gyro platter that comes with gyro meat, 4 pieces of pita bread, rice, and a greek salad with side of tzatziki sauce. The meat was warm and fresh, the pita bread was nice and toasted, the salad was refreshing, but the rice seemed a little overcooked and almost tasted like cafeteria rice. Overall, this greek restaurant did not fail. It was clean, friendly, and the food was delicious! I would definitely be coming here again. read more

Awesome spot for gyros. The lentil soup is also tasty. They've stayed consistent over the years. Quality is good, service is decent. I stop by if I'm near the area but won't go out of my way read more

Ordered the combo kabab platter to go. This was the best cooked kabob I have ever had. The beef is fillet and was medium to medium rare. The chicken was nice and juicy as well. read more

I had lunch at Erick's Deli & Grill at the recommendation of a friend who is local. I was very pleased with the outcome. The ambience is casual, clean, and pleasant. There was nice instrumental background music, not too loud, so you can actually have a conversation with your friends. They specialize in Greek food such as gyros, pitas, Greek salads. I had a Greek salad and added some grilled chicken. It was very delicious, served with some hot pita bread. When we arrived they were quite busy so we found the table outside in the shade. When the crowd thinned out inside we moved inside. They are located with in a shopping center right near the Otay border crossing. The restaurant is owner operated. The staff is quite friendly. I highly recommend it. read more

Best Mediterranean food by the border! Anytime I'm in the area I have to go here and grab a bite.

Had the Mahi-mahi platter ... Super delish! Salad dressing was very unique Highly recommend read more

Great food, fresh ingredients used for salads and gyros. Definitely my go to place for lunch!

Food and service is very good, but is pricey and wait times for orders to go usually delay. Will still go for their Lamb gyro and Salmon platters. read more

This is my go to place in the Otay Mesa area. I have ordered salmon platter, chicken kabob platter and the spinach spanakopita in the past and all have been my favorite. They serve salad and hummus or send kind of dip with each platter. They also serve pita bread which seems like freshly made. I must have been here atleast 10 times and the food is consistently good. I am taking a star off for the slow service. This place gets busy during lunch which leads to a very long wait to get your food. Plan on spending atleast an hour or may be get a to go long way in advance. Parking can get tricky because there are many other businesses in this small strip mall. read more

Eat here every time we come back across the border. As itself the competition in the area is weak but Erik's is hands down your best option for eating locally. Fresh food, friendly service. Amongst many dishes I have enjoyed, their salmon is surprisingly good. They close early (around 6pm) so bear that in mind. read more

I ordered the gyro. It was very flavorful and I will be going back. My only concern was they took a while to complete my order and I get short lunch breaks. So hopefully next time it will be quicker. read more

Limited choices as you get near border. Had a lamb gyro here. With fries and drink was 9 bucks. They had burgers and other sandwiches. I have had better. Was light on meat. Pissed me off that the peak ice tea machine was empty after i paid for a drink. They were clueless on how to refill. Orders were slow. You walk up to the counter to place your order. The people in front of me got their orders 10 minutes before me. The staff decided to concentrate on cooking and cleaning versus serving. Fries were cold. read more

I love Erik's! Been coming here for over 20 years and the food never disappoints. I won't eat a lamb gyro anywhere else because I will compare to Erik's. The chiles toreados is a plus! Call your order I'm so you can just grab it, I've never had a problem with waiting. Erik's Greek salad dressing is the bomb and they sell it at Sprouts. read more
