Me and my wife had loose motion for a week after eating there. Totally unhygienic. Don't go there and screw your week.

I ordered to go. 4 grape leaves servings, got 2. The meat on my on the bob serving was overcooked; except, for the lamb. They are friendly; however, my food was disappointing .

We have been to Greece so are picky about Greek food and this place did not disappoint. We were there for lunch and wish we didn’t live so far away so we could go back. The service was attentive and my husband ordered the special of the day, which was lemon chicken with rice and he loved it. It also came with a side salad. I ordered the shrimp in tomato sauce with feta, it was so good! We also had the appetizer of hummus. It’s in a strip shopping center, next to a grocery store, but worth going out of your way to eat in this restaurant,

Once again a hidden jewel. In a shopping center but wonderful Greek food. Ate at lunch. Service was great and friendly. The reviews are spot on. Who knew Greek food in El Paso?

This is a simple place, but it is clearly a popular lunch spot for locals. We had a couple of gyro plates which were tasty and a great value. Service is friendly and efficient. We would go back.

My wife had lamb shish kabobs and I had lamb and chicken shish kabobs. They came medium rare as ordered and were delicious. He comped us dessert because he wanted us to try it. The owner clearly loved his restaurant and preparing all the dishes from scratch. Well done Mr Zino.

Good food for the price. One of their locations was shut down due to labor shortage. Platters lack the variety that I normally see offered. Salad dressing could use a little help. And hummus should be offered with every dish.

This place is deserving of a top spot on TripAdvisor. Zino’s has the best Greek food that I have had in a very long time. As a vegetarian, I ordered the tour of Greece, and it exceeded my expectations. Everything tasted so fresh, including the pota bread, and I came just before they closed. The creamiest hummus I have ever tasted, amazing baba ganoush, perfectly seasoned dolmades, olives, feta cheese and a heavenly Tzatziki sauce. The falafels were a little on the salty side for my taste. The pistachio baklava was quite sweet with a possible hint of clove Bonus: They offer a 4% discount when paying by cash. It’s a very unassuming place in a strip mall that feels a little like a diner with menus taped to the walls at each table and loud rock music blaring from the speakers. plays classic rock music. The entire male staff broke into song singing Steve Miller’s The Joker when it came on just before closing time at 7:30 pm on a Wednesday. It was hysterical! I didn’t expect to come to El Paso and eat at a Greek restaurant, but I’m so glad I did! Highly recommend!

Zino’s was a diamond in the rough. This small store front bistro is owned by a former upscale Las Vegas chef. His move to El Paso to teach at a culinary school gave us the opportunity to taste his Lamb Osso Buco and his Mousaka. Both heavenly. We split a dessert I can’t spell but also delicious. We’ll be back!

Currently living in the middle east for over 10 years, and traveling internationally multiple times a year in the middle east, Africa, Europe, and Asia, Zino's version of these dishes was awful. The hummus had no flavor. The baba ghanoush may not have had any eggplant in it, and seemed to have hummus in it which is all wrong! The hummus and baba ghanoush looked the same when they came out. The falafel looked, smelled, and tasted like it was cooked in old oil. Additionally they were very salty to the point that I removed the filling to only eat some of the outer crust. The shawarma was a gyro, not a shawarma. The rotisserie machine with the meat on it looked like a prop only as it was not cooking, no turning and the meat looked old. Overall nothing tasted fresh nor homemade except the lettuce, tomatoes, and onions in the gyro that was supposed to be a shawarma. The best dish at this restaurant were the french fries, and they were not as advertised. This may be the El Paso, Texas version of these dishes, but they are not authentic and taste awful! If you don't know any better, you may think Zino's is great, but for those of us who live in the culture and eat the food daily, Zino's is a very bad imitation! I will never eat at Zino's again.
You have to make the long drive to Mesa Street, in order to get what I feel is El Paso's best Gyros. I've tried other restaurants that serve Greek Food, for my favorite Gyros. Then I learned that there was another Zinos on Montana Street. Unfortunately we are going through this dreadful pandemic. So I haven't been back. Got to also try their Fries with that special sauce.

Got an Uber delivered meal with a couple of ounces of lamb for a dinner costing $18. Everything was competently made, hot and fresh. 4 chunks of lamb left me hungry for more!

Sam put together my order and the service was great. Chicken or Lamb Gyros and Athenian Salad are consistently excellent. Thank you all so much.

I tried my first time kebab in this restaurant and is very nice! I want to try more. Small and a little bit expensive but good

Had a fantastic lunch here with our family today. The service was excellent, the waiter in training, waitress and the owner of the restaurant were all very attentive and checked to see if we were enjoying our food. The owner makes everything from scratch, even the yogurt for the tzaziki. Our meal was delicious and the hummus some of the best I've ever had. I give this restaurant a 5 star rating for delicious, authentic Greek food.
