I was walking around my neighborhood aimlessly this morning hoping to get a serving of blended fruit when I passed by Spiro's. This spot is always bustling so I popped right in to find myself a quick serve deli style place with an expansive menu. I asked for the date, almond and avocado smoothie with an added banana. My smoothie was made well and tasted great. Service was quick and efficient and I can see this place running like a well oiled wheel especially due to its proximity to the 36 St entrance. The inside does leave a lot to be desired but again I don't think this is a place where a lot of people congregate to have drawn out meals. This smoothie was a bit on the expensive side. I paid almost $10 for a medium sized cup but I have no complaints. read more

I haven't gotten many things on the menu because I'm a huge fan of the Greek salad with salmon. It's great! I've gotten naughty and got a slice of pizza and eggplant parm and it got rid of my hangover. Staff are always nice and my orders are timely. It's great to have a reliable spot in the neighborhood. read more

Great breakfast & lunch Very nice professional people working there. The staff work very hard keeping the restaurant very clean too read more

Not sure what happened with the delivery back in the day...and maybe it's because our office moved closer, into the delivery range, but Spiro's is still my go to choice when I don't have any specific cravings. The Spiro Cafe salad is still the bomb. Had one today! Delivery is still ridiculously fast. Not too long ago I actually stopped by the physical location and was surprised it looks more like a pizzeria than a cafe. I'll be honest, I would not have thought much of it if I saw it first before ordering the salad for delivery. I'm glad I didn't screw myself over by judging a book by its cover. read more

Some foods are hit or miss to be honest, what do you expect when the menu is huge with so many options. So order foods that you think get ordered a lot to be on the safe side read more

Ordered the Ranchero grilled chicken on a bun with fries and coleslaw. Also ordered one beef taco. Delivery was super fast. Wasn't much in the taste department. Kind of bland. The taco was just ok. Portions were larger than expected. Good bang for the buck. Pleasant surprise, especially if you are really hungry. read more

Three and a half stars seem accurate. The place is far from a fine establishment and sadly the vegetables that I peeked in the refrigerated thingy in the front did not seem fresh at all. It also did not help that I read in one of the more recent reviews that they found a bug in their food. So when I got home I made sure to inspect my burger for the presence of any insects or something that was suspicious. Which, thank gd, there wasn't any. For the lack of better options on that block, (right by the 36th st train station) one might go here, but obviously you wouldn't go out of your way to get from here or worse, dine in. P.S. the girl at the front/waitress(?) is very pleasant and friendly. Actually, the entire staff is. Imho, they would all be better off in a different, better establishment. read more

They forgot about my order and were two hours late. They had some lame excuse about a broken computer that missed the order. Liars. The fries were cold, the cheesteak was too salty and there was a piece of plastic in the fries that I almost swallowed. I'll never order from this hell hole ever again. read more

So I had stopped off at my aunt's house to drop some stuff off and check her mail. It was mid-afternoon Sunday and the last thing I had to eat was breakfast before leaving for church. I stopped in here. I wanted something to go and knew if I ordered a sandwich or wrap or anything resembling a lunch dish; it would be too much. The menu board on display says breakfast until 11 AM. There was no one else in there so I asked the guy where they cook the hot food if he would still make a breakfast sandwich, He said he would. I ordered 2 eggs with turkey bacon on a roll. He fried up the eggs and cut up about 4 pieces of turkey bacon. It took about 5 minutes for my sandwich. It would be 5 stars except for 2 minor things: The price I was charged was $.25 more than posted. It was still cheaper than what I would pay for that in most places in Manhattan. I calculated it and it couldn't be sales tax that made up for the difference. I just let it slide, I wasn't asked if I wanted salt or pepper and there were no packets in the bag read more

Came here for quick bite to eat with my coworkers. I ordered the fresh mozzarella chicken hero sandwich. It had grilled chicken, lettuce, mozzarella, salsa verde, and avocado. A decent tasting sandwich. I doubt the mozzarella is fresh. The avocado and salsa was certainly a good mix in the sandwich. Getting the sandwich certainly took a long time. The staff seem a bit overwhelmed in the amount of orders they were getting. I could see the staff ignore some phone calls while they deal with the pick up an delivery orders they had. The place needs an upgrade badly. The menu is falling part. Can't tell how much some of the food costs. Restrooms had only hot water running. Wth!!! read more

Spiro's Cafe & Pizza - "Fresh" mozzarella chicken hero sandwich - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is a great way to get your desire lunch dinner or pizza for your choice! I have been ordering from this place Spiro's for a while... and my meal always prepared the way I like it many thanks to the Cook ‍ Friendly staff even if you're in a bad mood... Cons: prices are great I mean it depends what are you getting... but for most people I hear is a wonderful place to try out. read more

To call this the worst wrap I have ever had is almost unfair to bad wraps, because this wasn't even a wrap. It arrived soggy and mushy and the second I picked it up the wrap collapsed. It was the most disgusting sandwich I have ever been served. On top of which it isn't cheap. Please, do not order from here. They don't deserve your money. Trust me. read more

Spiro's Cafe is down the street from my new apartment so I have become a regular here. They are open for breakfast with your normal bodega-style grill and also have some Tex-Mex style tacos / burritos and tortas. Their veggie burrito is what I go for, it normally comes with avocado - but since I am allergic they have never had trouble subbing it for veggies. The salsa verde it comes with is actually pretty legit and tasty. There is seating available, and food is ready fast. A solid location that I'll be returning to time and time again. read more

The service is great, the food delicious, the price amazing! So, why only four stars? Well, the decor is horrible, the bathrooms sub-par, and they close by 5:00pm. Other than that, I am a regular here and love every bit of the place. The design usually turns people off, but they always leave satisfied and wanting to come back again! read more

The BEST burritos EVER!! I love, love, love the food here so much that, even though we moved from Sunset Park to Bensonhurst, my boyfriend will make a special stop on the way home to bring the burritos home for us to have on a Friday night. Their wraps are also amazing - their hamburgers, sandwiches, really, order anything on the menu, you wont be disappointed. Or maybe you will be because you're unnaturally picky and don't know what good food is, which is your loss. Because Spiro's is an incredible gem in Sunset Park and I'm happy that they exist. read more

You know this kind of place. Tons of options - breakfast, sandwiches, wraps, salads, burgers that order from a big sign above a counter/deli case. It's the same thing you'll see everywhere. But Spiro's differs in 2 respects: 1. Burritos. Not something you often see at cafes of this nature, though given its Sunset Park locale it makes sense. Anyway, they are HUGE (2 meal huge). And amazing. One thing I don't like is that they put lettuce in the burritos - a personal pet peeve of mine. It skeeves me out, so I always request they omit it. They do so gladly. Which leads me to the way more important 2. The service. I seriously love every single person who works here. They're friendly, helpful, and just really, really nice. I sometimes stop in here for coffee and a muffin or bagel on my way to work. I wouldn't say the muffins and bagels are exceptional, though the coffee is very good. I could get these items any where, but I keep coming back to Spiro's because I want to give this place business. Not that I really need to, it's always busy. That reminds me. I recommend calling ahead to place your order, because if they're slammed you might have to wait a bit. They also deliver, and have no minimum order to do so. read more

Staff is nice but food is not great. Burritos are probably their best option pizza left a wired smell on my hands even after washing multiple times and it's super greasy. They have also messed up my order multiple times even if I go right off the menu. read more

i agree. very cheap, good salads for 6, 7 bucks. They do all kinds of food. Waitress Maria is awesome. Omelets aren't overcooked like usual coffee shop. Even cooks, counter help friendly. They try hard Chris iccws.com read more

Two stars for the simple fact that this was my second visit to this place & I feel like I waited way too long for my food I work around the corner and I'm new to this area, so these guys don't know me. I walked in towards where the guys were cooking to order my sandwich and no one took my order, so I went to the register and stood there for a good 5 min, not so bad since it's 8:36 am. Two people came in. Ordered with the cook and left before me, again maybe because I'm new, I wasn't really mad about that. I was more pissed that I purposely drove to get to work 25 min EARLY so I wouldn't have to rush to eat my food before work, do u want to know what time I left that place???? 9. I was standing there for a good 20 min and I know this because I was chatting with my room mate the entire time. Then on top of that they gave me the wrong bag and tried to charge me $14 for a turkey bacon egg and cheese sandwich with an Arizona green tea and a Starbucks frappucino. I was like yeah no I got a sandwich I'm not paying $14 for that lady at the register sorry lol My first experience with this place was about a week ago. I ordered food around 11:15am and it decided to show up at 12....this place is legit 6 min walking from my job and it took an hour. Then on top of that the delivery guy didn't really speak English well, so when he called my cell to let me know he was here I could hardly hear or understand him, then some lady tried to translate and just yelled into the phone "your food is at the front" so I ran to the entrance, I call the guy back and he's still not there...he's standing at the exit inside the building. I was like oh maybe it was just busy, then today I go in, get ignored stand for 20 min (mind you I stand all day at work) was late to work & on top of all that I didn't even want to eat the damn food because it was sloppy as hell!! I was better off just going to McDonald's to be honest. I work in customer device and deal with people all day, so I understand but I never rush my clients, it's rude and will just cause problems later so I don't like being treated like that. The man I gave my order to also forgot the order 3 times, again doesn't bother me if you forget I know it's busy, I but I do get pissed when you forget my order and send 2-3 people out the door who came in after me. Those orders he remembered but not mine so I was a little disappointed. He was nice not rude at all. He said sorry however didn't offer anything as he could clearly see I was getting annoyed after 20 min. He could have taken an OJ or my Arizona off the bill or something lol not that I would take it, it's the gesture that matters the most. Don't think I will be making another visit. If you can't handle to work load then don't take the orders or get an extra person on staff for the morning. And if you speak Spanish you are more likely to get your order in FYI Here's a secret owner of Spiro's: New Yorkers hate waiting.... read more

Spiro's Cafe & Pizza - Where's my egg tho?! - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I used to coming here for my morning coffee until the blonde lady mistreated me over a dollar bill that was taped. I didn't even see that my dollar was taped looking, I just took the money out of my pocket and handed her my form of payment. She started shaking her head and gave back my bill saying she could not take it because it was "taped" . Honestly I could not believe what I was hearing. I said "what's wrong with it?" A bill keeps its value even if it's missing 30% of the physical appearance. She kept on rejecting it until I said that that was all I had, indeed it was. Because of this incident and because maybe she can't control her PMS and took it out on me, I won't go back. I always like to contribute to the local shops but this time I rather go to dunkins which is closed by, than get yelled at too early in the morning. 3 years being being a customer and they lost me over a dollar bill that they could easily take. read more

* I somehow ended up at Spiro's last weekend. I actually wanted to answer the nature's call and couldn't wait for no long while in the subway. I got down at 36th st and Spiro's was the closest restaurant in my sight. That's how I ended here. * First of all, the bathroom heater needs a fix. It was freezing inside with my pants down and an open window. * After cleansing my bowels, it was time to eat something. So I got myself a cup of coffee and an omelet. It was cheap and tasty. Infact everything on the menu was cheap - the pancakes, omelets, sandwiches, lumberjack breakfast special like Johnny's luncheonette in Flatiron. * Oh yes and as other reviews mention - the waitress was cute and beautiful. read more

Great burritos! Del Mar is the THING. Lines are usually long during lunch time, but totally worth it. Recommended to IC residents - cheap good food up for grabs :) read more

Solid neighborhood spot. The food is consistent, the staff are friendly, and I especially like their eat-in breakfast special. The menu is deep: Tex-Mex, Italian, and Greek entrees, breakfast, salads, sandwiches and burgers, and they sometimes have some off-menu gems like tamales and thanksgiving stuffing. The salsas are great; I ask for them with pretty much everything I order. You can usually get a table on the weekend. Pro Tip: Order ahead if you're doing takeout. It can get chaotic at the counter and you'll be waiting for a while if you don't. Also, I don't know if I'd order pizza here, it seems like an afterthought, or maybe a vestige of a time when they did more pizza business. read more

My friend ordered tacos here last night and he was raving on how good it is. I know its a cafe/pizzeria but, i had their fish taco yday and IT was SO GOOD! The fish tacos were loaded with fried fish and the batter is so crispy and flavorful. Comes with lemon and green hot sauce. I devoured that taco so fast! My friend used to work in the area and always got food from this spot so he said its a very good local spot and has amazing food. I cant believe a cafe/pizzeria would have great tacos. Now i know if im craving for fish tacos i can come here! Yum!!! read more

I was looking for places to eat near my office and I came across Spiro's. It's next the the train station and it wasn't much to look at on the inside or out. But I was happy I went in. The staff was very friendly and the food was good at a good price. I had a Chicken Chipolte Burrito which came with a side of tortilla chips (which seemed like home made and they might have been). It was quite yummy and I was sad as I finished my last bites that it was gone... For dessert, I had a serving of flan, also delicious. I will certainly go back again to try their other foods. If you are in the area, it makes a great place to grab some chow... If they fix up the decor, I could see this moving from 4 to 5 stars... read more

I used to work around this area and this was one of my go to spots. They were reliable as they never disappointed me, they were always consistent and the staff were always nice over the phone and in person. I almost miss working in this area, the variety of great food was surprising. read more

Have been going here for the last few years. I am never disappointed with the food and service. They specialize in Spanish food but they serve American as well. The portions of the food are very filling and you leave satisfied. Also the prices are very reasonable. This is a good place to go with some friends, hang out and eat some good food in a relaxed setting. read more

This place has been around forever!..I have lived in the neighborhood all my life. I remember when it opened. My family has enjoyed this place for years. 3 Generations of our family have enjoyed this food and as they have added Mexican food..I just cannot tell you how happy I am :) We do not eat in but we have deliveries made to home. Very convenient, reasonably priced YUMMY food! Can you ask for more? read more

Spiros is amazing their vast amount of selection makes them great for breakfasts, lunch and diner. Besides their Delicious BREAKFAST their chicken burrito bowls are AMAZING. Their "naked burritos" like they call it, is better than chipotle to say the least. It also comes with at your request freshly made chips. The price is even better for 11.50 you get the huge bowl and the chips. Great deal! read more

I'm in the area a lot for promoting and showing our workspaces just down the hill and this is one of my favorite places to eat. They have a wide range of food - decent, huge burritos, the best pizza in Sunset Park (sorry Johnny's), tacos, burgers, tons of salads and wraps, and it's all pretty good. And cheap! But the best part about this place and why I love coming here is: Maria the Waitress. She's the best! She knows what I like and is really attentive and just flirty enough. I love her! I love you Maria! read more

Spiro's Cafe is the kind of restaurant that has a little bit of everything. You can get an awesome burrito or a great slice of pizza. The staff is funny and extremely friendly. I highly recommend the homemade ice T lemonade, its freaking addictive. read more

FINALLY MY FIRST 5 star review!!! Ok so I simply love love this places! First the workers ALL including the chef are super sweet friendly they even tell you to enjoy your meal in Spanish when you are served! Second prices are very fair not expensive at all! Third the food I had breakfast twice there and I enjoyed the different things I had on the menu! Fourth and most importantly... The food is SO good they overload you with portions my turkey bacon egg white on a bagel was very nicely filled over lapped with so much turkey bacon I loved it! Sorry no photos next time the food was THAT good I dived in there! Well if you know MY reviews I'm honest I don't sugar coat shit! The resturant is fully loaded with fresh baked goods and all types of beverages! Honestly it could use a more cleaner approach in the seating area a couple of annoying flies but I have to say you serve me like royalty and feed me like royalty I'm happy! Give this place a try! Breakfast lunch and dinner dishes available! I'm dying to taste their tacos ... That to follow! read more

I've been going to this restaurant for 2 years on and off as it is the cheapest restaurant by my job. At first I liked the prices and all I would order was turkey burgers to be on the safe side. (after all, how can you mess up a Turkey burger?) As time went on I started to explore other things on the menu. As I did I started to notice my orders coming back wrong. Seems like the best orders to make are orders in person or over the phone and pick up the items rather then delivery. (check your items before you leave) I always got my turkey burgers the same way over cooked, Onions fried, pickles, lettuce, Ketchup and on a toasted wheat bagel. Orders started to come back, no onions, on a bun instead of wheat bagel, not well done, sometimes no lettuce, no ketchup... I ordered other things...and they got messed up as well.... I thought I was safe by ordering a tuna salad with lettuce and onions chopped into the tuna on a toasted wheat bagel... Nope they messed that up too... I'd call them to let them know when I got to work or if I got it delivered. But only rectification was to send it back, I've heard horrible stories about food getting sent back and returning, and at that point I'm hungry, only way I'm sending this back is if it wasn't edible. The best thing about them is their delivery is fast and polite, wish I could say the same about the person taking my orders or the ppl they blame on the phone taking the orders in the kitchen. oh yeah...coffee is meh, the newsstand by the 36th street train station is much better and cheaper and that's the only place in the area to get pizza... the pizza is a good price but tastes mehh... read more

I go here a lot. It is a little hit or miss, but it is usually a hit. Breakfast is great, the wraps are awesome. Their house salad is one of the better house salads: romaine, greens, feta, walnuts, grapes, a delicious dressing. The fish tacos, like most places, needs lots of help. They could start with adding cabbage. The tacos in general aren't bad, but I especially like their burritos. The further back you go, the weirder it is...until you get to the bathroom, which is a bit dodgy. read more

Clean, prompt, friendly, the best place for salads in Sunset Park. Love their Mexican salad which I add extra spinach, cranberries, feta and carrots to. read more

Service isn't that great and the price fluctuates. Better off going to the restaurants in industry city.

I work in Sunset Park and eat from Spiros almost every single day [for lunch]. The salads are amazing, along with everything else. The food is always very fresh, the menu is huge and the staff is nice, which makes for a solid cafe that I am happy to give my lunch business to. read more

carlos and the guys do a great job. The waitresses work hard and don't play games. This is a great neighborhood spot - you see all ages all professions going and the value is incredible.
