The super duper with lamb
Jim B.

Great flavor very fast service even around lunchtime. I got the superduper with the lamb and it's large !!!! the cashier gave me all three sauces since I've never tried one before. Couldn't finish it all no way ....All of the sauces were really good. Thanks

A newer location using the new TKS branding. Plates are your best options. Bowls tends to be too sloppy, and the wrapps are pretty good. The gyro plate with fries is another great option. - Service was great despite being very understaffed. - Not many fountain drink options. It's their Achilles heel.

It was our first time at this location and we had delicious lunch. Everything was fresh tasty and plentiful. Hubby had a wrap; I had one of the bowls; and we split some fries we love their sauces, especially the cilantro jalapeño, and the dill yogurt. It's light and bright and there's plenty of seating too. Our cashier was super friendly and helpful. We've added this to our "go-to" lunch spots list.

I am not normally in the San Marcos area, but we traveled out to Vista to go to the furniture stores and wanted a quick but delicious lunch. I love kebab shop from downtown SD in East Village and other locations so I wanted to try this one out. Google Maps sent us to the other side of the parking lot by the sports bar, but it's actually to the right when you come off of S Twin Oaks Valley Road into the parking lot next to Mr. taco The inside was clean. You can order on a kiosk or order with a person at the counter. We decided to eat there, so they gave us a buzzer. They have about 4 tables outside and about double that inside. Fountain drinks and some of the most popular sauces are there for you to grab. My bf got the chicken shawarma wrap. He loved it as per usual. It was what he was craving and it was even enough for us to save a bit for leftovers. I had the grain bowl with the saffron rice and the carved lamb beef shawarma. Because I have not had TKS in a while also treated myself to add the grilled beef kofta too. Mine also was quite tasty with the OG yogurt sauce and tzatziki. I saved part of my bowl as well to have for lunch later in the week.

Super clean, spacious interior.

This is a brand new location and the food is great, the place is squeaky clean, and the service is very friendly. My only small complaint is the menu. It doesn't show all the possible menu items. For example, I know they have a protein bowl (because I ordered it) but good luck finding it on the menu. By the way, while their wraps are amazing, the protein bowl is a delicious, much lower calorie meal. I'm kicking myself because I forgot to take a picture of it. But it's legitimately very good. This is a very high quality chain. The rewards program is actually good, too.

Oh how the Kabab shop has changed from 10 years ago! My first experience was the little Italy one, and now they've expanded all the way up to north county. Glad they are near me now. Located right across from state, I came during a weekday after lunch, so it wasn't busy. Took a bit for me to understand the ordering on the iPad and what's included. It's chipotle style, order a wrap, bowl or salad, add your protein and toppings. I ordered the wrap with carved beef lamb. All wraps come with lettuce, slaw, pickled onions, tomato/cucumber and yogurt sauce. I added rice, jalapeños and tzatziki sauce. They ran out of cilantro jalapeños but had the fire chili for that spice kick. The wrap came thin and there were a decent amount of meat and toppings. Not overly generous but not super stingy. Would love a little more meat though. Who wouldn't? It tasted good, like what I remembered. The meat wasn't overly dry and had good flavors. I prefer TKS over the pita guys. I saw they had a kids eat free every Saturday and Sunday. That's super nice and we'll have to come on the weekend to take advantage of this deal. Glad one opened up here!

Visited the first location in East Village right after it opened and loved it. Traveled to Rancho Bernardo as it was closer for years. Now, finally two locations that are closer; Escondido and here at San Marcos. Went on opening day and ordered the favorites. The services was the best; management was interactive, everything super clean and the food exceptional as expected. It is so about the sauces to top it off at TKS too. Enjoyed a sunny spot on the patio with Crave Fries - a guilty pleasure. #NCSD #TKS #SanMarcos #CraveFries

Kids French fries & gyro meat!

Food was great! Cristian helped with our order! Friendly & knowledgeable! Ambience is always nice and clean!

Chicken kabob wrap
Gina M.

So yummy! Get the chicken kabob wrap with all the toppings. They have the best hummus, garlic aioli, rice and pita bread! Great for catering orders too. Clean restaurant, nice staff and delicious food. The manager Deni is so helpful and friendly!

Pita's Mediterranean Grill is seriously one of my favorite spots in San Marcos. I've been coming…read morehere since I was a kid, and it's been consistently good for as long as I can remember. They've been open over 20 years and it definitely shows. Today I got the falafel plate, chicken kebab plate, and chicken shawarma plate, and everything was so good. Super flavorful, very authentic, and really affordable. I'm on a health journey right now and this place is perfect. Fresh food that actually fills you up and makes you feel good. Service is always on point. The owner is usually there working, and all the employees are incredibly sweet and welcoming. They're also really quick, so you're never waiting forever for your food. I've had their rice pudding and baklava before too and both are great dessert options if you still have room. If you're looking for solid Mediterranean food with great service and fair prices, this place is a must. Can't wait to come back!

I'd give it a 4.5 if I could…read more Super nice guy. Fast service. Explanied the ingredients to my vegan GF. Food was good but didn't blow me away. I had the low carb plate with mixed chicken and beef which was well constructed, but the beef was a little on the tough side - had to it to again I'd go with the chicken. My GF had the falafel bowl, and the owner gave her 2-3 different dipping sauces - nice touch. She was really pleased. Yes ... I'd go again!

Aloha folks! This was my first time at Larry's Santorini. I walked in and was immediately greeted…read moreby Ozzy (Larry's son), who was kind and friendly. He helped me choose a plate. I decided on the Gyros Sandwich and fries. I asked if I could get my fries without salt and he gladly said that he'd be happy to do it That made me happy. He gave me my drink cup and directed me to the self serve drink machine and told me to grab a table and he would bring the food out. The food arrived shortly after he took my order. The fries were hot and crispy (no salt as requested) and the Gyros Sandwich was excellent. Tender, juicy and delicious. Ozzy came back to check on me and I was appreciative of that. This restaurant supports the local community which is nice to see. I highly recommend Larry's Santorini for fresh and delicious Greek food. Be sure to check their menu for all the other food options they offer. You can't go wrong!

A nice, casual Greek restaurant in a small shopping complex in Poway. A small shared parking lot…read more The menu includes a variety of plates, wraps, salads, and burgers. Service was friendly and we were immediately greeted upon arrival. I got a quarter chicken plate which came with a small side salad, side of rice, and pita bread. The food was fresh and tasty but the portions were small especially for the high price point (total cost was $19). I felt they could have gave more rice and salad to beef up the plate. Overall good food just wasn't full after my meal...
