Cannot say enough good things about this place. I almost never write reviews but had to for Alexi's. We started eating here a few months ago per a friend's rec and it's now our absolute go to. Seriously, just go grab some food. The fact they have such solid vegetarian options as well is so amazing.

I've been going to the Greek Cafe since the early nineties. The food is outstanding and the prices are good. It reminds me of Greek Town in Chicago.

I’ve got few god given abilities but willpower is one of them. I once declared on the 31st December i would dry between *all* of my toes every morning the following year after showering AND KEPT IT.

That being said, having stuffed my face 24/7 for 2 weeks straight i declared earlier today that “today marks the start of my xXx post holiday diet xXx”.

3hrs later I left Alexi’s having demolished the gyros sarnie lunch special along with a (completely unneeded, but?) baklava - so read into that what you will.

Or i can spell it out - THE FOOD IS EFFIN GREAT AND THE SERVICE IS TIP TOP.

Visited Alexi's Greek Cafe on three separate occasions during my visit to San Diego in late August. One of the best values around - plus the food is top notch! Looking forward to returning here during my next visit to San Diego. Would very highly recommend.

What a special place. It feels like you can never find a deal anymore, but Alexi's proves that wrong. Not only are the portion sizes leaving you more than satisfied, but the food is fantastic. I ordered the gyro plate and kept being surprised with the variety of all the different items in the dish. Please try this place, as it is the easiest restaurant one could recommend.

Always go the distance to come to this place to get my Greek combo platter and gyro sandwich. Been coming since the mid 90s

The owners are very kind and offer excellent service with fresh and delicious food. The chef cares about his meal that he serves to you. This is a Mediterranean restaurant with grilled style. This guy makes excellent tzatziki sauce! You will not be disappointed. Reasonable prices as well. Great chicken! I will try more as hunger progresses.

This place is amazing, a hidden gem. It has an old school vibe inside that feels homey and gives that kind of service as well. I came for a late lunch (didn’t realize it was their dinner menu already at 4pm) and was pleased to be served the gyro plate that came coursed, cup of delicious soup, a simple house salad, gyro meat, fries, pita, and the best tzatziki sauce; all for only $10. Service was on point, friendly and attentive; didn’t catch the guys name. I will definitely be coming back here! Thank you!

Alexis Cafe in Hillccrest is my favorite go to lunch special place for the last 15 years. Where else can you get an affordable Lamb Gyro Sandwich with fries or salad n a drink for under $10. Tasty and affordable. Please support all the small businesses like a do. They can really used our help now. I highly recommend Alex's Mediterranean restaurant

This place blew me away. The food was phenomenal and the service might have been the fastest I've ever experienced for a sit down experience. In addition, my meal was *incredibly* affordable.

If you haven't tried Alexi's Greek Cafe, do it!

The falafel is the best in town, fried fresh to order piping hot! Great with some hot sauce. I also enjoy the Dolmades platter for some stuffed grape leaves covered in lemon sauce. The Saganaki, flaming cheese appetizer is like having a show included lol!

Nice tasting pita, nice meat, and good fries too. Good prices, so overall excellent place for greek food. But the drink size in the set is laughably small.

Hidden gem located in Hillcrest. My family and I been coming here for years. The only Greek place with the largest portion of food I’ve come across. The owner is awesome, he memorizes every customers order without having to write it down that’s a plus in my book. Anyhow excellent service and food you want be disappointed be sure to try the lunch special Gyro sandwich with fries, salad and a drink under $10. You can’t beat it. This is a great spot for lunch, dinner dates or family in town.

Hidden gem of Hillcrest.

From the outside it looks like a small hole in the wall location nestled between several top spot restaurants. The experience is a friendly helpful staff that goes the extra mile to ensure you have a great meal and dinner experience.

This has a feel similar to SD taco shops but with Greek food. The food was excellent, prices were amazing especially for Hillcrest, and the feel is honestly family table. I could go here daily with out question.

Been coming here since 1990. George is a 1 man army- server, cook, everything in his restaurant.
Great price, servings are filling and great location for people watching.

We stumbled across this dining establishment after an appointment in downtown San Diego. After snagging a parking space nearby, we were seated quickly and attended to right away. We both ordered the #1 Lunch special - the Gyro Pita sandwich and we're glad we did! It came with a delicious generously sized salad and the gyro sandwich was perfectly prepared with just the right amount of tiziki sauce, onion and the rest. And the best part is that with the drinks, AND a piece of baklava to share, the bill was less than $20. OMG! We will definitely be coming back to this gem in Hillcrest!
