Zgara Greek Grill
1730 Garnet Avenue, San Diego, CA 92109
Processed, mystery meat gyros need not apply at this tiny shop tucked into a corner of Pacific Plaza. Everything but the pita is made in-house. The standards, such as souvlaki and the kebabs, are good, but it’s the pork gyros that stand out. Folks who have been to Greece know: thinly sliced, marinated pork stacked on a vertical spit topped with a knob of fat to baste the meat as it cooks, is how it’s done there and at Zgara as well. The pork is sliced off, a mixture of tender meat and crunchy bits, the flavor not overpowering, working in harmony with the tzatziki, lettuce, tomato, and onion. For those averse to pig, a chicken version is available. The owner is from Rhodes, so you can chat about places like Lindos and Stegna as you eat.
