Editorial Review for El Greco – by Joshua Hinsdale
In Short
Adorned in basic black and white decor, this small family restaurant caters to its University neighbors and Austin's Greek community. An expansive menu built around Konstantinidis family recipes includes the basics such as Greek salads, dips, pork and lamb dishes, dolmas and other treats. Finicky diners can opt for a cheeseburger or veggie sandwich but can still be convinced to try the homemade desserts. Baklava, custards and rice puddings are prepared fresh daily.

Insider Tips
When to GoStop by early for a Greek twist on breakfast tacos: doughy pockets filled with combinations of feta, spinach, eggs and potatoes.
The ExtrasComing down with a cold? Pick up an order of the avgolemono, a Greek chicken soup flavored with rice, egg and lemon.
ParkingIn the evenings, free parking can usually be found in the garage behind the restaurant on San Antonio Street.
Fun FactOwner Jake Konstantinidis, who graduated from the Texas Culinary Academy, opened the restaurant in January 2008 with his mother Athina Konstantinidis and aunt Kiki Vasiliadou.

I've been to El Greco several times now and the food has always been outstanding ! The eggplant and garlic dip is delicious, the pita bread is fluffy and warm, the chicken soup is delicious and light with a lemon kick, the vegetable sandwich is made on fresh baked bread loaded up with roasted vegetables and a hearty tomato sauce. But I have to say that my hands down favorite is the chicken gyro sandwitch - I've had it three times now and it's absolutely delicious ! I hope the rest of Austin discovers this new gem and they can stay in business, because this newly opened Greek restaurant is awesome !
