Victor's Cafe has some of my favorite Mediterranean food in San Diego. Their chicken kebab plate is genuinely the best chicken kebab I've had. The chicken is always so flavorful, but honestly, the rice might be just as good. It's the best rice I've had from any Mediterranean restaurant in San Diego. My husband usually gets the gyro salad, which is another favorite for us. And we can't come here without getting the feta fries! Definitely one of those places where we already know exactly what we're ordering before we walk in. If you're going for the first time, get the chicken kebab plate and feta fries. You won't regret it. read more

Excellent customer service from the owner and Natalia - appreciate their large group orders. The cilantro sauce and viktors chicken is probably my favorite. The Gyro is a crowd favorite- recommend highly for catering. read more

Before opening the to-go containers back at our hotel room, I would have bet good money that I'd never had food from Victors before. However, as soon as I saw the salad dressing container, I realized I have had their food. On several ocassions, in fact, as this is the go-to spot for our events team when we're prepping for an internal event and need food to feed a crowd. I recognized the pinkish salad dressing right away, as I mentioned, and one bit of the buttery, almost too-rich rice sealed it for me. I got the Gyros & Spanakopita plate ($14.95), my husband ordered the Victors Chicken & Spanakopita plate ($14.95). Each combo plate came with a small side salad (and the pinkish dressing.) We also got an order of their Baba Ghanouj & Pita appetizer ($4.95). While I did enjoy the flavor of the gyros and spanakopita, the plate felt like it was more rice than meat. The spana was crispy and flaky, but I would have liked a little more feta in the pastry; it felt a bit thin. The rice was overly buttery, which I expected, but not so oily that night. Their baba was unedible. It was bitter and too watery, I think they put too much tahini in it, maybe? We ended up just splitting the pita to finish our entrees and dumping the baba. My husband said the chicken had good flavor, but wished there were a few more pieces - even if they had been tiny - on the plate. He also liked the spanakopita, but said it was on the thinner side. The salads were good, their pink dressing is delightful and they never give enough dressing, but it was refreshing and big enough. read more

One of my favorite places when I want something quick and healthy. The vicktors chicken is my favorite, so tender and moist. On of my favorite salad dressings that I just buy the bottle. Everyone is always friendly and polite. read more

Excellent customer service by a gentleman named Josh. Food was great too. I got Greek salad chicken and baba ghanoush. Everything tasted great. Great customer service is very rare nowadays I'm glad to see that it still exists. Overall, just a great experience. read more

Victors Kafe - Greek Near Me - San Diego, California

The best part of this place is not only the amazing home made food it is the owner. So nice and welcoming, made me feel that I was visiting a family member. I got the Victor's chicken and gyro plate. Amazingly fresh it comes with salad! Unfortunately I was so in love with the flavors I forgot to take a picture of my plate. But if you want authentic Greek food this is your place. read more

The food here is great and each time I enter this establishment it is very clean. All of the food here is delicious including the dessert. Additionally, the customer service is usually great. There ls a young lady that has taken my order several times and she is consistently pleasant. However, the young man that took my order today was not. When I enter an establishment to enjoy their food, I expect to be welcomed. Maybe the young man was not having a good day or maybe someone else should be taking orders. read more

the food slapped! amazing food! but the service not so good. the girl at the counter tonight was very rude. . . she was rushing us to finish our order (they were not busy, at least not in the front of the house) and something happened with her delivery of our food that we won't get into. . . BUT also rude. but we will definitely be back! ...hopefully with better service next time. read more

I've been going to the RB location since Victor opened the RB location (I worked across the street since '77!) and then the Poway location that his son's started. The best Gyros anywhere around, and the best conversations with the sons in Poway in the evening. Wed temporarily relocated out of state and had a hankering for a Gyro so off I go to RB. Unfortunately it's not what I remember. Ordering was fine, talkative, attentive, friendly and appreciative. Ordered a Gyro plate combo with salad as my 2 sides (double me up!). Their dressing was the best ever and I remember asking how they made it long ago (and they'd told me). They brought out the plate and had to first ask for tzatziki sauce, then for salad dressing. It wasn't busy so that was disappointing. Overall the Gyro was good. Plenty of meat with a few slices of tomato & red onion. Salad was ok, the lettuce was ... robust, I think it would survive a nuclear war. Dressing is not what I remembered and I didn't eat much of the salad. The tzatziki seemed very thin but it worked. The plate was $17 with water. Overall if I really had another hankering for a gyro and I hadn't found anything better by then I'd definitely go back, however; I'd skip the plate/salad and just get the sandwich. read more

Victors Kafe - Gyros Plate with salad for both sides - Greek Near Me - San Diego, California

This is my favorite Mediterranean go to food in San Diego. I can't find anything wrong with their food especially when the chicken is moist on a kabob. Their portions are excellent and their salad with their dressing is really good and fresh. read more

I had a good experience with Victor overall. The food was great and definitely worth it. The only issue was the wait time. My order wasn't ready when I arrived for pickup. That said, I could see there was a long line inside, so it makes sense. I understand they were busy. I'd still come back again. read more

at first glance the restaurant is absolutely adorable and very clean. The employees work in the front counter were very informative and polite. The tzatziki was pretty good while the rice was a little overcooked in my opinion but overall well worth the price paid. read more

This place is absolutely delicious. I order the gyro Greek salad each time and am always pleased.

Came back here and the chicken was also just as good as the gyro. Definitely very good with the roasted peppers as well, recommend always getting them since they are free to add! read more

One of my favorite lunches is their Gyros Sandwich. Very tasty and I always get extra tzatziki. Perfect!

Walk in, or call, and you're greeted with a genuinely upbeat attitude. Of the last year I've done both phone and in-person orders, I've never experienced anything but great customer service. The food is always made to order and fresh, never stale, brown or limp. The gyro meat is well flavored, moist, never dry. The chicken is equally appealing. Just an overall great place to eat! read more

Paid by card. Victors is located in the same plaza as Jersey Mike's and offers plaza parking. I went in on a weekday night and was easily able to order to go since no one was ahead of me. I ordered the gyro plate with fries and hummus and pita bread. When I left and started eating I realized I didn't have the hummus and pita so I called them and asked them to refund my card because I wasn't going back to pick it up. They happily credited my card immediately and were apologetic. Good food and I commend them for taking time to credit my card as they said they would. I would recommend this place. read more

This is a huge bummer. My family and I have been coming to Victors for 10+ years and this wasn't the best experience We ordered a combo plate, our usual, to go and when my husband got back home it was the smallest portions. I would best describe it like a child's meal. The side salad was lacking lettuce and the meat and rice was half the usual portion. The lamb was so incredibly dry too. I love this place but I'm not sure if it was tonight's staff or what's going on. Just a huge bummer. read more

Victors Kafe - Turkish Coffee - Greek Near Me - San Diego, California

Our go-to for party platters and gatherings is their Family Meal. It comes with gyro meat, chicken, dill sauce, pita bread and a very large salad tray w/ dressing. I'd say one family meal feeds about 5-6 people. One of the best values around frankly - and picky kids seem to love the gyro and especially the chicken. read more

Great service. We love their gyros and fries. We typically dine in. Easy to order and super fast service. Food consistently hot, fresh and delicious. read more

Great place to get a gyro. This restaurant has been around for years and always delivers high quality food 5star read more

On Wednesday this past week, the family wanted me to pick up dinner at one of our local restaurants. We debated what we wanted to eat, so I suggested Greek/Mediterranean food. Within close proximity to our house, there are several restaurants that serve this type of cuisine. We've eaten at the chains Kebab Shop and Luna Grill, and we've eaten at a local mom and pop Victor's Kafe, but I've never reviewed this restaurant. Our to go experience of their Family Meal was worthy of 3.5 stars. Victor's Kafe is located in Rancho Bernardo specifically on Bernardo Center Drive heading west as you exit off of the 15 freeway. It is located within a small strip mall that contains 7-11, Domino's Pizza, Kelly's Pub, and Jersey Mike's Subs. Victor's Kafe is a small restaurant that has adequate indoor seating and few tables and chairs outside. It's a clean restaurant with minimal decor on the walls except for a pic of who I assume is Victor with a child and there is a television mounted to whatever is showing. When I traveled to Victor's Kafe, the plan was for me to purchase gyro sandwiches and fries. I went ahead and started my order with the friendly young man behind the counter, but changed my mind after I saw a placard advertising their Family Meal. It stated that the Family Meal feeds 4-5 people for $49.99 and it includes the following: 1lb of gyros, 1lb of Victor's chicken, 1lb of rice pilaf, Greek salad, pita bread, tzatziki, and VK dressing. I also ordered french fries and feta fries. When we got home and opened our to go order, we were disappointed by the minimal amount of rice and pita bread. It definitely fed our family of four, but I thought it was overpriced. The gyro was tasty, the chicken was tender and dry on some pieces, and the Greek salad with the VK dressing was one of the highlights. I was also disappointed by the amount you get with the fries and feta fries, both of which were just okay. I read some reviews where people thought highly of Victor's Kafe. I'd rate it 3.5 stars and there were some positives about the Family Meal. Next time, we'll just order gyro sandwiches and fries like I had initially planned. read more

We love everything here! My husband and I always split a large salad with gyro and chicken. We get the kids soup and kids meals with chicken and fries. The chicken is always marinated to perfection and their dressing is delicious. The location in poway is also great and their dressing staff is always kind. read more

The prices have gone up over 50% in the last four years alone. Lately they are skimping on the portions, and forgetting basic ingredients. Essentially paying more to get less. Still a great lunch spot for the area, but they're giving me more and more reasons to dislike them. read more

Food is always fresh and yummy ! They also cater to your requests. There are no issues with the delivery and it was quick!

I love victors. The meat is always good. The sauce is always good. The food is always steaming hot. But today, my wife picked up a to-go order that I placed. My gyro sandwich was great, but the fries were burned. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this. My wife said the restaurant was dead so being slammed isn't an excuse. You have one job... provide great tasting food. How in the world do you serve burnt fries? It's either the employee didn't care or wasn't paying attention. Such a simple thing to not serve burned food. read more

Awesome little Mediterranean place. It's in a little strip mall that has a bit of tight parking but manageable. Some outdoor seating although the view isn't ideal. Everyone seems friendly inside, and their combo plates which include 2 sides of choice and a drink are only 11.95. Plenty of thick flavorful cuts of lamb on the gyro, crispy fries with a tasty seasoning blend, and well seasoned rice make this super worth it. Definitely recommend. read more

The food was very good! I give the place a 4 because the tzatziki sauce is more of a dill based sauce, no cucumber as typical with tzatziki. It was good in fact everything I ordered was very good but the sauce is key for my enjoyment of Greek dishes. Would go back no problem now that I know what to expect. read more

First time here. I actually would have given a five star if it wasn't for the service. First the food... we got gyro salad and the gyro sandwiches. I actually got the spicy gyro. Two of them. But they forgot the spicy sauce no both of them. I got the combo with double fries....small portion of fries for a double order. I actually thought they forgot one of the fries so asked and she was not helpful and stand offish. She even went to get the receipt for some odd reason. I didn't forgot what I ordered. Lol. Then I asked about the drink they forgot. And no comment. So service was three star but the food was good. So I'll be back with hopes of better service. read more

Delicious fresh healthy vibrant green Greek salad with the greatest dressing in the world. The guy was super nice and hooked us up with a few extra dressing... I didn't get that 1st but I was so grateful and excited to take 1 extra dressing home. We live in LA and we're just passing thru while getting the kids some Jersey Mikes what a blessing I stumbled on this amazing place and enjoyed a side of rice a s tge worlds greatest food ever! read more

I often have my husband pick this up on his way home from work. It's very good Greek food. I usually order the Pepper plate with gyros which means gyros are served with cooked onions & bell peppers. The rice pilaf is excellent & the salad dressing is one of the best I've had in Greek restaurant. It's creamy, not the standard oil & vinegar with herbs (which I happen to love), & has a bit of "funk" - perhaps feta?. At any rate it's delicious. My husband usually orders chicken & gyros plate. Chicken is tender & not over cooked which tends to be a problem w/ chicken kabobs. I look forward to days when I'm too tired to cook & having Greek food instead. read more

So so so so good. Affordable, quiet, friendly, and delicious. Really fresh too. Have to come back.

I have been attending this business for LITERALLY over 25 years, and it never fails. This is my Gyro standard, and I have never found better. The meat seasoning and cook is perfect, toppings excellent, bread delicious, tzatziki perfectly seasoned- and pro tip, get a side of their salad dressing for your sandwiches. You won't be disappointed by anything on this menu- and I love supporting local places like this who have the quality to stand the test of time. read more
