Dino's Gyros Greek Cafe and Taverna

I’ve had hundreds and hundreds of yuros and this is the driest tasteless one that was extremely expensive.

I love the owner. She is so great! Seriously. She is super friendly and warming. The food is delicious. Every time i come, the food is wonderful. The fries too. The gyros are (yee-roh, like how Mexicans roll their "R") are the best in San Diego. The meat is not dried out and burnt.

If you don't like this place, something is wrong with you!

Terrible lunch special, it had literally two tiny strips of the gyro meat, yes the lunch special is a deal but no where on there advertisement does it say it’s a smaller portion. Overall the flavor was lacking and the only thing good were the fries.

Looks like gyro but doesn’t taste like one. Not going back for sure. Nice service though!

Man, this place used to be my go-to for gyros and other Greek food. The quality and portion size has gone way down (gyro meat is still top notch, the rest, not so much) and the prices have gone way up. We used to live closer, but now have to go out of our way to get there, so we probably have made our last trip to Dinos. It's a shame, I ate lunch there every weekday for years.

Spent almost $50 for two sandwiches and one plate. Falafel sandwich was edible, the only good thing about it was the pita bread. Falafel was overcooked. The gyro sandwich meat was not appealing looking, kind of washed out looking meat so put it in our air fryer to make it look normal. One pale tomato slice and thin slice of onion. The chicken gyro plate came with a wilted looking salad, rice that was flavorless and chicken gyro that was so so. For almost $20 for that plate they can do better. Way overpriced. Will not go back. Used to come here before Covid and the food was good. Not sure what has happened to the restaurant.

Would not recommend the fries at all.

Let us ponder for a moment the fate of Alexander the Great, who after marching across the known world, succumbed to simple disease on his way home. A potent reminder that nothing in life can be taken for granted, like that this restaurant will season its food with salt and spices. Like the mighty city of Constantinople, what once shined like silver is now caked with rust, dawdling in the footsteps of the other, better offerings around it. Perhaps it is time for this place to give way to the history books. History could be made, right in the center of Clairemont Town Square.

Oh Dino Gyros, I use to love eating here. But I went today and now I feel extremely sick. The food was dry and flavorless. Maybe it's been sitting out too long. I have a headache and nausea. I might go to the doctors if this continues. I was so hungry and the food was such a disappointment. Please do better. Oh and I asked about the 10% off for people who live in Clairemont and they didn't honor it. So I guess that's a thing of the past.

Great local neighborhood restaurant for Mediterranean meal. Dine inside or out, before or after the movies. Can also grab an app with a beer or wine too!

Friendly staff, okay gyros, and a little bit below average chicken kabob plate. Not a fan of the tzatziki sauce or the ingredients of the salad dressing. But I would have to say, the pita bread is pretty tasty.

Updated review:

Man this place has gone downhill in the last year. Food quality seems to have also gone down a LOT. Last two times I ate here I got sick afterwards. Considered reporting to health department. Please straighten up.
