The idea of a Greek and Mexican fusion was amazing . The food was great however on the day I went the service was extremely poor . I told the waitress several times there's an allergy at the table , she allegedly told the chef as well . So I cannot understand how the food that I'm allergic to ends up on a plate In front of me to consume . The only way it was caught is when I questioned the waitress what was on the plate ( she had to go look back at the menu ) then came back with the " manager " and said sorry . Didn't offer to take it back and make a fresh one ( because I didn't eat it ) nor was it taken off my bill . Completely inconsiderate and unprofessional. It started off good but ended horribly. A first and last for me ! I would not recommend !

Small little local spot - very friendly staff from start to finish. We sat at the bar and ordered Birria quesadilla, zucchini fries, fish tacos and churros all were very good. We also ordered a couple of Margaritas which were tasty but we felt no buzz at all. Would I return yes because I felt comfortable here but I'll order wine next time.

Went here for a dinner on a Tuesday night. The food was absolutely delicious and the wait staff was very attentive. Will definitely be back!

Amazing restaurant whether it's with friends or family! One of my best friends from college raved about this restaurant and it's easily a hidden gem! You wouldn't normally expect to have a Greek-Mexican fusion restaurant but this one is amazing! I highly recommend getting their stuffed poblano peppers (stuffed with Cauliflower as I'm vegetarian) - 11/10! They even have mocktails and I recommend the mango mule - which I absolutely loved! Will definitely be back here, but given today was Saturday, the restaurant was busy so you couldn't hear the conversation, but food and service are top notch! Also...Food Network...get here ASAP!

I can't say that I had a great experience here. We were sat by the door and it was a bit cold. We asked to change our table and were told no despite having about 6 free tables. If that was the only issue it would have been fine however, we tried to order lentil soup but they were out of it. The restaurant is also very loud. The wait times were quite long as well. While waiting for our food we saw another table get up and leave. I ordered salmon but they brought branzino. I didn't want to wait longer and I don't like food waste so I told them not to bother making the salmon. I give 3 stars because I did enjoy the food, even the branzino that I didn't want originally. The waitress was also sweet and gave us the dessert for free ($12) to rectify the wrong entree ($26). All in all the food was enjoyable, the drinks were just ok, the overall service and experience were not very good, but I am willing to give this place another shot.

This review is well deserved but long overdue. I came here with my husband and kids on Saturday, 1/6. The place was packed and we were late for our reservation but the Manager, Ann Marie was a sweetheart and was still able to fit us in! We tried a variety of appetizers and entrees and all tried each other’s food and all we could say was “omg”. Everything we ordered was delicious! There was definitely nothing we tried that we would not order again. Even the Signature Margarita was good! The waitress was very attentive and you could just tell that all of the patrons were loving their food and having a good time! My daughter requested Grexicana for her birthday dinner so we are going again tonight!

Was excited to try this place out! Cheesy nachos and Birria quesadillas were very yummy. My sister got the birria tacos and enjoyed them. I think I had the better pic though because of all that cheesy goodness. The staff were very nice and the parking lot in the back was convenient. I didn't try any of the Greek options this time around!

Hi all, I don't usually come on here, but I wanted to save people from the worst restaurant experience I've ever had! I am gluten free and that was an issue off the bat. I told the waiter about my dietary restrictions and he brought over the owner to speak with me. She was incredibly rude, made me feel very uncomfortable, and spoke in a very condescending tone to me and my entire family. We were there for my daughters birthday dinner with the whole family and it just ruined the evening for everyone. As for the food my sons tacos were soggy, and my daughter got the churros for her birthday dessert and they were way too dry she couldn't even finish them. I would hate for this to happen to anyone else and I really don't think the owner the kind of person who should be running a business. Don't order the churros!!!

After reading good reviews, went tonight for dinner. We have to wait 45 minutes to get the table, reservation is highly recommended. We ordered appetizer, Chipotle pita chips with dip, boneless buffalo wings and plyllo wrapped feta, all was very good. Grexicana margrita and passion fruit mocktail was good too. Main course we ordered lamb barria taco platter. Mousaka enchiladas and chicken pastitsio, all were good. I asked for coronarita and lil disappointed because they don't have small corona bottle and they gave the big bottle, and it's not good when you are paying $ 24.00 for the drink.Service was good, our server Miss Kem was outstanding. Definitely recommend and will go back again.

Relatively new place, seems to be busy all the time. We called to make a reservation and the table was ready by the time we arrived. Service was great; the manager/owner was walking around surveying the service and the food. For the appetizer we had the empanada and the crab cake, which was a specialty item. And for the entree the grilled steak and lemon wedges was good. I believe they have something with the Grexi cheesesteak queso wrap. It's super filling and delicious. Majority of the people I seen who ordered this had to take the other half to go for leftovers. The drinks were good as well. For desert we tried the churro split, it's like a banana split but with churros. It was great however we were to full to finish. Great date night spot.

We really enjoyed our time here. I went here on a Friday with a group of friends after am event. Food was delicious and the service very friendly. The wait was long, and the parking kind of sucks, but it's worth it. We liked it enough we came back 4 days later with different group of friends and had a wonderful time. I will definitely be coming back.

Saw this place on the way back from stop and shop and suggested to my wife that we try it out. After seeing videos on the gram, we were sold. We did takeout because we have sick kids at home. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. Really super nice. Ordering over the phone was a breeze. When I went to pick up the food, I was impressed by the atmosphere of the place. Really well decorated. We got the spanakopita empanada, the birria empanada, the birria quesadilla, the lamb gyro taco, and the birria burger. The theme of the day was overcooked. All of the proteins were dry and overcooked. The birria meat, you could tell wasn't cooked long enough in the compote if it was cooked in it at all. The compote lacked heat as well. The lamb was overdone. The empanadas shells were like egg roll shells. The fusion of Greek and Mexican sounded so enticing and they were so very close to nailing it, but the thing that was really lacking was authenticity and it showed. I wanted to like this place so much, but if it's birria you want, there are better options in the area.
