I love finding little gems like this in St. Charles that exceed expectations and make me glad to live in this darling town. I've passed it dozens of times while out and about, so when my partner said she wanted gyros for dinner it came to mind. I only wish I'd tried El Greco sooner!I started with spanakopita because I'd never tried it before, and the savory, slightly bitter spinach paired well with the bright and tangy tzatziki sauce.I got the gyro special with a small Greek salad, and started with the salad. I cannot remember the last time I have had such fresh produce in a salad from a restaurant. It was tossed in a light dressing with generous veggies, and I could easily see ordering the full size version as a meal. It was that delicious.The lamb gyro was, without exception, the best I've ever had. It was absolutely LOADED with succulent lamb, and more fantastically fresh toppings. I was only able to eat half, and I'm eyeballing the other half now, just hoping I get hungry enough to finish it soon.I will definitely be adding this charming eatery to my regular rotation. It's the kind of place where you want to leave a review and visit often because you want them to stay in business so you can eat there again and again. The couple that served us were very sweet and made us feel comfortable and valued as guests.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options include: spanakopita, grape leaves, falafel, several salads, grilled cheese, and baklavaParking: There's a row of spots right in front of the door with plenty of room. The dining room is small, so there's definitely enough parking to fit a full house.Kid-friendliness: When we got there, there was a family with a toddler who was clearly enjoying her meal. And their menu includes patty melts, burgers, grilled cheese, and fries for kids who might not be ready to try the new flavors.
Great Lamb Gyro. A bit expensive but likely legitimate.

I stopped in yesterday for a quick dinner. The staff was very friendly and excited for me to try. Mind you I skipped lunch so I was starving. Lol I decided to try the Hummus. It was probably some of the best I’ve had. They topped it with a generous helping of tomatoes, olives, Greek salad and a drizzle of Olive oil and served it with warm pita bread. Yum!!! I also ordered Spanakopita. I’ve never had this before and they severed it with a side of Tzatziki sauce. This was very flaky and was the perfect amount of cheese. It had a great flavor on its own or paired with the Tzatziki sauce. Definitely worth trying.For my main I went with a traditional Gyro with all the traditional toppings. Yes I was starving but let me tell ya! A person can get 2-3 meals off of this one Gyro… The texture and flavors all made my mouth very HaPpY! It was delicious! And of course for dessert I had to try the Baklava. Umm if you like layers upon layers of thin, crispy dough, honey and nuts. This is a treat for you! It was a perfect ending to a great meal and crazy work week. Thank you El Greco for making my night.If you haven’t tried them out yet, I highly recommend you do.Dietary restrictions: Many options, vegan friendlyKid-friendliness: Open settingWheelchair accessibility: Easy entrance
Delicious! All the ingredients are very very fresh. We will definitely be back.!

The food here is AMAZING! I had the lamb gyro, the meat was so tender and juicy. Everything is fresh. The restaurant is super clean and the owners are so nice and welcoming. I HIGHLY suggest this cute little Greek restaurant. A jem in St. Charles for sure!

Finally tried this place after passing it to and from work since it opened. Oh man. Those gyros are great. My husband had lamb and I had chicken. Super interested in trying falafel, baklava, and moussaka. Looking forward to a return visit soon!

Oh man, they are doing something right here!! Amazing tasting lamb gyro!
A small business in the north end of St. Charles. The owner clearly cares about both the quality of his food offerings, as well as the satisfaction of his customers.
It would be nice if they offered Spanakopita! Otherwise, my family is a huge fan!
