Gyro $12 bomb.
Olivia S.

I ordered two Gyro sandwiches for my boyfriend and I and they were delicious! Very filling and satisfied with our order. $12 and packed full of goodies. It's nestled in a very cute area that had a windmill and koi fish. I will be back! Excited to have tasty Mediterranean food close to home.

Chicken Kebab Plate (Salad replaced w/ fries)

We came across this little restaurant on our way to the grocery shop and I must tell you this is such as a hidden gem! The first time we went we tried the gyro salad & their special "fuego plate". The chicken kebab was fire! No dry, chewy, flavorless chicken you get in most Mediterranean places in the area. Oh and the tzatziki sauce you just have to try it. 2nd the ambiance is chill, clean, modest, the kind of place you go to when your in a hurry but want to sit down for a bit. And lastly but not least the service is excellent, the girl at the counter is super friendly and accommodating. We are 100% coming back here!

The restaurant has plenty of parking and has indoor and outdoor seating. The inside is modest but very clean and they have a water station where you can help yourself to cold water. They also have to go containers at the ready for any yummy leftovers. I came here during lunch time and was surprised that there wasn't more people. I ordered the chicken kebab plate and it was very decently priced. When the food came out, I was blown away by the wonderful presentation. The quantity was impressive, and everything was delicious. The salad was fresh tasting and had a delicious dressing. The chicken was so tender and moist. And the rice was buttery. Hilariously enough, it was so good that I came back for dinner and ordered the Fuego plate. I didn't get a picture of that one but it was "fire" . I will most definitely be coming back!

Fuego Grill is INSANELY delicious! I'm upset that I waited so long to try it, and even though I don't live in Escondido anymore, I would honestly make the trek from San Diego for it - THAT is how amazing it is! Perhaps the most tender and succulent chicken I've ever had in my life. In fact, ALL of the meats we tried were fantastic. Cutting steak and lamb with a butter knife? Unreal. And the charred tomatoes are just the cherry on top. I'll absolutely be back!

After a yelp search for new restaurants came upon Fuego Mediterranean Grill. Mentioned it the wife and she was ecstatic to try , especially after having disappointing food at a couple north county spots . This place is located off midway and after pulling up , was so excited to see a beautiful koi pond adjacent to the restaurant, with outside seating right next to it.. Ordered the steak pita and Fuego plate. Food took about 15-20 mins , which is a good sign that it's freshly prepared. I can say without any hesitation that this is quite possibly the best Mediterranean food I've had in years. Possibly since visiting Greece several years ago. Everything was so delicious. The steak kebab , chicken kebab, and gyro meat were tender, marinated well, and had the perfect amount of open flame charbroiled flavor. We have been here several times since and the food has been consistently just as good as our first visit. A true hallmark of a great restaurant establishment. We absolutely love this and my 4 year old and 2 year old love looking at the koi pond. Delicious food at great value and great ambiance. Can't beat it I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone

110% amazing and delicious. I highly recommend geting a fuego combo plate. If you sit outside there is this relaxing pond you can watch while you eat. They have canned sodas or water to drink.

This was the perfect place for a casual, relaxing, Sunday dinner. The service was friendly and fast. The food was hot when it was served. It was also bursting with flavor and delicious. We had a busy week and weekend and this dining experience was the perfect opportunity to relax and wind down.

Was a combination plate..
Israel P.

It was alright. Ha ha it was fire! Cleaned my plate. Food tastes fresh, charred veggies were amazing, and the tzatziki was great. Will definitely come back to this spot monthly.

They have the best chicken kabob pita in town. Lots of tender, tasty grilled chicken breast with NO chewy pieces or gristle like some places. The fresh pita is big, heavy, and overflowing with chicken, delicious roasted veggies, tomatoes, red onions, lettuce, feta, and a tasty tzatziki sauce. Extra tzatziki on the side too! It's an excellent value at only $12 and big enough to share, especially if you get a side. Can't wait to try their lamb/beef options, hummus, and fries. There are a few tables, but no ambiance to speak of except some outdoor tables under a tree by a Koi pond. I also recently tried the chicken pita/wrap at The Kebob Shop across town, and this place puts it to shame. Here for $12 you get at least 5-6 ounces of delicious chicken with all the right toppings on proper pita bread. There for $16 you get only 2-3 ounces of chicken breast (some chewy) lost in a sea of lettuce without the other classic toppings--and rolled in a soggy Mexican flour tortilla!

Very good!!

Food was very tasty. Portions were excellent, service was nice kind ambience was very clean restaurant. I will definitely recommend!!

What country's cuisine is this? Gyros aside. Can't tell

Sort of generic Middle Eastern. As long as it's good, shouldn't really matter.

I ordered the gyro wrap with cucumbers, and it was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned for the price. I also loved that you can easily customize your order. The tzatziki was delicious -- not overly garlicky -- and they thoughtfully packed it on the side so the wrap didn't get soggy. Our order was ready on time, service was smooth, and everything tasted great. Such a great first impression! This is definitely going on my regular takeout list.

At first glance, we knew we were in for a true authentic and great meal when we saw other Persians dining at the restaurant ;D Vibes: Namino shares a parking lot with other food establishments but on a Tuesday afternoon, we didn't have trouble finding a spot. The restaurant gives a mom and pop vibe, where they warmly welcomed us in. I loved that the lady gave us a bell to ring when we're ready to order. There were more than a handful of 4 person tables available inside. No outdoor seats. The guy who took our order and served our food was welcoming and our food came out within 10 minutes. Food: -Beef Koobideh Kabob ($15.95): skewer of suuuper flavorful beef served on a bed of saffron rice with a side salad and half a roasted tomato. I saw one of the reviews here that said to put sumac powder on the rice-- thank you for that! I asked for tzatziki sauce on the side and it paired well with the kabob. -Beef Kabob Sandwich ($11.95): my husband ordered this and he loved it as well. If we weren't in a hurry to catch a movie, I would've loved to try the baklava. Overall: A great authentic Persian restaurant located in La Jolla. You won't be disappointed!

Quaint ambience…read moreand old school city service (you just gotta flag people down) but the food is highly recommended. Namino, located in the holiday court lot (next to the Whole Foods plaza) is a small space looking like an east coast diner. They have a small menu and don't mind if you help yourself to drinks and a seat. The owner literally just told me to shout out my order when I was ready. No nonsense, quick, and it worked well. No complaints there. Service 9/10 Fesenjoon: That day's special. This dish is phenomenal and a hefty portion. The stew itself was not shy at all about flavor; an appreciable sweetness and tart flavor coming from pomegranate, an earthy blend of spices (for sure can taste bag and cinnamon as well as toasted walnuts. I'm sure there's more) and the chicken is clearly well seasoned. The stew itself is not to thin or thick, resembling a texture slightly thicker than a Japanese style curry. The specials are served with a side salad and saffron rice. The salad is dressed with a yogurt based dressing. Light and refreshing. Nothing surprising. The saffron rice is lightly seasoned with saffron, mostly white rice. The big kicker here is tableside condiments include sumac, and that is a huge bonus. Pour a liberal amount in your rice and thank me later. Gotta love a Persian restaurant with sumac! Food 9/10. The tea served is a spiced black I believe. May be an acquired tasted for those used to English breakfast. I'll definitely be back. Namino is great for a quick lunch and the food is fantastic. Hopefully I'll be able to try more of the menu soon!

It was not a busy night and maybe 4 tables were occupied including our four people table. We placed an order right as we got in at 7pm, including three drinks and four main dishes. Regretfully, it took a whole HOUR to receive our meals AND DRINKS. Why drinks were not brought up to us in between when the order was placed and meals served, is beyond me. And when food arrived, one of the items was wrong. My partner ordered chicken dish but got beef. We flagged this to our server (who was nowhere near to be found) and she seemed indifferent. After waiting for an hour for our food, we decided that we will just accept the what order this beef dish is because it was already 8pm and idea of having food at 9pm did not seem fun. Also it is worth mentioning that we ordered smoothies for our drinks. Server never asked us if there was any dietary restrictions and nowhere on the menu it was noted that fruit smoothies contain milk. Terrible times when you are lactose intolerant. Overall very poor experience.

I've had halal kabobs from restaurants all over SoCal and the country and this place is still my favorite. It's a great option for catering (I always get the family platter pictured) and this was my go to place when we lived nearby - the flavors are tasty but not too overpowering so it works for all guests no matter their spice preference. We still drive up to 30 mins to cater from here because the food is always so good and a reliable hit with any guests that we have over. FOOD: The meat is not just flavorful but most importantly, it's somehow always just so moist, so juicy, and so tender all the way through. And it's not just the meats - every item they serve is just really unexpectedly delicious. At most kabob places, the rice/pita/salad/hummus are just weak add ons to fill up the plate, but these items are always so delicious at Kabob House and you can always taste the flavor bursting in every item (my fav is the salad which has a lemon/vinegary kick to it that just elevates the meal). All the items on the menu are great, but my personal favorite is the salmon kabob (if you've never had a salmon kabob, do yourself a favor and try it out and at least add one skewer of it if you get a combo) - the owner recommended this to me years ago, and I've always added at least a couple skewers every time since - all my guests rave about it. SERVICE/AMBIANCE It's a small casual family owned restaurant and the service is always super friendly. You can see the food being made fresh behind the counter which shows their confidence - it's clear they take immense pride in the quality of all their items and are eager to share their food and Palestinian heritage. The price is also exceptional value for the quantity of food you get, especially compared to other similar restaurants. OVERALL: I will continue to eat from here and would highly recommend trying it out.
