    Salad

    Great drinks and fresh food. They only had one server when we went on a Thursday night and it got kind of busy for just the one person. I will definitely come back just on a slower night.

    This is a vibe delicious food, awesome staff, excellent drinks. Passion fruit juice awesome! The decor is Grecian with the island flair. It's a good time n worth a visit

    gyros and greek fries

    I loved the ambiance here but the food was ok. The service was average, but they had a busy night so I don't blame them. I got the lamb gyro with tomato and lettuce and onion and tzatziki sauce and parsley. I wasn't a fan of the texture of the lamb meat since it was a bit dry. The pita was also a little stiff. Also the greek fries were as expected, but the fries themselves weren't that crispy. The cocktails were great.

    Don't miss this spot if you are anywhere close by and like Mediterranean food. This restaurant was an experience. Everything we tried was 10/10. The olives, fried hummus, winner hummus. The Greek salad and the chicken gyro with Greek fries. We were in heaven!!

    Probably my favorite restaurant in Rincon. Service here is so welcoming and fun. The ambiance is so fun and carefree. The food is amazing! Anything you order you will not be disappointed. If you can catch them while they're actually open just go in. Been waiting since Thursday for then to be open again and it is Tuesday.

    Chicken Gyro with feta

    Great ambiance, decent food, and live music! Thursday nights in Rincón is art walk, and Gylro typically has live music. Rincón is a tourist town catered to Americans and Gylro is a good spot for vacationers. A dinner for two with just food will run you around $50 with tip. What to order: - Greek Fries - Spinach dip What to be careful of: - This place loves SALT, especially on the chicken dishes. It was much too salty on my gyro with tzatziki. You may want to get the other protein options and add some cherry tomatoes or cucumbers to your gyro to balance out the saltiness. Overall a solid choice for a dinner out in Rincón.

    Food was amazing! We ordered the lamb sliders, BYO gyros and a salad and they were all amazing. The only problem that we had was that service was super slow when it looked like there wasn't that many people but we never know how many people are in the kitchen so it is what it is. Also we got seated outdoors and the bench we got sat as was really cramped for 5 people. Again, our food was amazing!!

    Feta fries on point! Espresso martinis or phenomenal great espresso flavor not obnoxiously, sweet and worth every penny. Very affordable for drinks and apps definitely will come back to try dinner.

    OUTSTANDING! We loved it so much we came back 2x during our week long trip. The whipped feta was a crowd pleaser. Salads and gyros amazing. The ambiance inside and outside is so cute it doesn't feel like you're in puerto rico. Can't say enough great things. Just go i promise it'll be greatness

    It's slim pickings when it comes to Greek cuisine in PR, so it was a breath of fresh air when Opa!…read morearrived at the scene not too long ago. It was also nice to know they are actually good. For appetizer my wife and I shored the Keftedes (meatballs). They came over a yogurt sauce and with a side of arugula. We were a bit disappointed. The taste wasn't bad, but the portion was very small for the price. You get three small meatballs. It's definitely not for sharing. But even for one person it feels a bit high. For the main course my wife ordered the Moussaka and I got the Shrimp Kritharoto and a side Greek Salad. We enjoyed both dishes, as well as the Greek Salad. Keep your n mind this is a small restaurant. There's not a lot space, both inside and outside. We went for dinner and it was packed. We were lucky to get a table inside. It felt like being in a Greek sardine can. Not a place for groups. It is worth eating here, though. We'll be returning to try more dishes and ouzo.

    Came in for lunch and really enjoyed it! The owner greeted and seated us. We enjoyed it all, though…read moreforgot to take pictures of our entrées. We had the Greek Farmhouse Salad with Chicken and the Souvlaki Chicken Gyro with fries. The Spanikopita egg rolls were a great appetizer and the Baklava with vanilla ice cream was excellent to finish! Hope to be back in the area again and will definitely make a point to go back!

    An unexpected stop for lunch during a cruise stop in Old San Juan, PR, the Istanbul Restaurant was…read morea combination of Turkish dishes along with dishes native to Puerto Rico. My brother and I tried dishes from both menus, and found it to be quite good. As we were walking past, a small sign for 'Grandma's Kitchen' caught our eye. My brother had been encouraging me to try Puerto Rico's national dish: Mofongo - mashed fried plantains. Unfortunately, restaurants were just packed with long waits and I wasn't in the mood to wait outside in the sun for a long time. The door next to the sign stated that it was a restaurant called 'Istanbul'. We peaked inside, and was welcomed warmly by a host, who let us know that the restaurant was both Grandma's Kitchen/Istanbul. There was nobody else dining inside, which was weird considering how every other restaurant in the area was packed. The dishes are made to order, so took a bit of time for it to come out one at a time. Mixed Seafood Stuffed Mofongo ($25) - served in a wooden pilon, the tall and narrow neck was stuffed with the mashed plantains, topped with a seafood blend of clams, dense fish pieces, octopus, and squid. The sauce was really well done, not too rich, but buttery enough to accentuate the seafood. I have to believe the seafood was prepared from frozen, but it tasted really good: a definite notch up from the seafood I've been having on the cruise boats. It was the first time having mofongo, and I liked it. This version had fried plantain chips, mixed with the mash of more plantains. I don't think this version had pork skin rinds, and I didn't miss it. It's extremely dense, so ended up eating maybe a third of it while finishing the seafood. It's a solid alternative to rice, though definitely can't eat too much of it. Doner Kebab ($18) - from the Istanbul portion of the menu, this dish was tasty, though the meat was cooked on a flat top grill like a burger patty, instead of on a vertical rotisserie. The lamb/beef patty was loosely formed and well seasoned, with the accompanying tzatziki sauce being a good add-on. Both dishes were cooked very well, the back kitchen has some skills. Service was friendly throughout. Water is not offered, but guessing they will give to you if asked. Payment was provided after the meal, and they do stick on a mandatory 15% gratuity for all party sizes.

    I love to use Yelp to find local spots when traveling; however I can't get on board with the high…read morereviews of this spot in old San Juan. The falafels were doughy and undercooked and the chicken kabobs very tough. Service was good, and we were the only ones in the restaurant. It's a little dark but clean.
