Greek Chicken- a return visit (El Cajon)

Here you are, reading mmm-yoyo, wondering what Kirk is eating.  Well, today it's Cathy writing this meal post.  You just have to wait for Kirk. 

It's been almost four years since my most recent Greek Chicken post, even though it is a regular stop for a quick bite.  This 30+ year family owned mainstay in East County now has three locations and is consistently good, fresh and a great choice when meeting out of town friends. 

The Graves Avenue location (same block as the DMV) used to be a Fosters Freeze, so has a quite large inside eating area, (as well as the soft serve machine). It seems to always be busy; I haven't been there at a 'quiet time'-so no interior photos. 
The side salad, which came with our friends quarter chicken meal is quite good on its own- not much lettuce and instead, bell pepper, tomatoes, cucumber, onions and Feta topped with a light, herbed dressing makes this a great small meal on its own. 
This is the medium chicken salad ($10.25).  It's that Greek salad topped with sliced rotisserie chicken-plenty of it.  This is enough to share as a meal.
The gyros pita ($6.45) is also quite large and stuffed into a fluffy pita.  It also can fill a craving and be a quite large meal in itself.
 Of course, the onion rings ($1.75 as a second side) here (and every Greek restaurant I've ever been to) are large, hand breaded slices of mild onion and are fried to a perfect crunch-consistently great. 

A San Diego East County institution for a reason. Who else has been here? Soo and Maggie (for birthday meals).

The combo meal ($9.95) consisted of the salad, a quarter chicken, garlic bread and a beverage.  Another great deal.

Good looking gyros! We visited last month for burgers and chicken.

Even though most gyros is from one supplier in San Diego, the combination of flavors with a fresh pita makes this sandwich crave able, Soo. Sorry I had missed your post- it looks like a great meal.

Can’t beat the prices here, cc. Always has been reasonable.

It was, Kat. Very convenient and fast service yet a bit ‘healthier’ as well as different from standard ‘fast food’.
