Mezes Greek Taverna

Wonderfully surprised! Ordered a gyro wrap and fried smelts. Delicious! Second time here, ordered the same dish. Can’t get enough.

This is quiet place has very good Greek food and great service. Waiters are constantly asking how everything is. Everyone loved their food. The cheese appetizer was very good! They literally light it on fire at the table which makes for a good show. They bring you hummus and pita while you wait for your food.
They have good prices lunch specials between $ 9-​$ 15 so it’s on the higher side for lunch. All of the meals were big and filling.
Overall it makes for a great lunch or dinner spot!

I love Greek food, and I had been searching for some authentic Greek cuisine for a long time. I finally stumbled upon Mezes and I fell in love. Their food is always fresh, and fantastic, as well as fast service. I love getting the spanakopita, and the gyro platter for lunch. The staff is nice and helpful and very attentive. I would recommend this restaurant to absolutely anyone, and you should definitely stop by.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for about a year now and I love it. The Lemon Potatoes are amazingly tangy and cooked perfectly. They offer lots of vegetarian options and with a little finessing here and there you can make some of the items vegan. I like ordering the Grilled Veggie Pita without the cheese and other times I order an appetizer sampler. The salads are also great, fresh and the dressings delicious.
The hubs always orders the Gyro Pita or platter and he loves it, all pitas are served with fries (which look a lot like Potato wedges) and he likes to dip them into the Tatziki sauce.
The Spanakopita is great, perfectly crusty and moist, just the way it’s supposed to be.
TIP: a small order of Hummus and Pita are complementary, however at lunch time you must actually request it. At dinner time they’ll bring it out, sometimes even before you place your order.
I took one star off because of the lack of ambiance, it’s super quiet all the time, even when it’s full, I don’t know what it is about this place, but the food makes up for it, for sure!

Definitely the best Greek food in the area. Whenever I need my Greek food fix I go to Mezes!
The gyro meat is delicious and all of the other Greek options definitely satisfy my Greek food cravings.

Yummy greek food! They were understaffed today and still the sevice was excellent. We had the stuffed grape leaves appetizer, which I loved but my husband is a carnivore and this dish is vegetarian. He had a gyro pita and I had the chicken athena, both excellent. Highly recommend them!

The best greek food. This is one of my favorite places. I recommend the lamb chop… yummmmyyy

Amazing fresh Greek food. So good! Worth the drive from east hollywood. I will be back!

I love the food. I’ve been to Greece before & the food is very authentic. I highly recommend this restaurant. The pork souvlaki is my favorite.

Meh.
Stopped in here for lunch the other day, and was not blown away. The complimentary pita and hummus was a plus, but the food I ordered was average.
I had the steak chop as it was the special for the day at a nice $ 8.99. The price was good, but the food was pretty plain-​Jane. This was pretty much a bowl of bland rice with a little lettuce, a little tomato, and a little steak. I almost ordered extra meat, but decided against in to keep my overall lunch special at a special price. Taste wasn’t bad, but left much to be desired.
Had the grape leaves as well. Maybe I am used to Arabic grape leaves, but these were definitely not my favorite. They tasted extremely oily (and yes, I know, grape leaves tend to be oily, but these were like sponges).
Would I come back? Maybe to try something different if I am ever in the area again.

This is place is a Gem! Great clean and delicious food. They give it hummus and warm pita on the house!!! Can’t go wrong with that nice cold beer and friendly staff
We order the Gyro Platter it comes with a Greek salad and fries it was out of this world good!
Would return to this place over and over again

I went off based on the reviews on Unilocal and was expecting it to be De-​Lish but was a little disappointed.
Had their «award winning» sangria but it was crazy sweet and didn’t have much alcohol in it. They served complimentary pita bread with hummus which was nice — the bread was warm and the hummus garlicky :) had the fried cheese appetizer which was YUM-​mo! Would def order that again.
I ordered the moussaka and lemon potatoes as my entire. The potatoes were good but the main dish lacked flavor.
Dessert on the other hand was really yummy — I had the Galaktoboureko which seemed like a mix between flan and bread pudding to me. That was pretty good and was my favorite out of the entire night. All in all my experience was OK.

I had 40 minutes to eat and I spent 10 driving down a long stretch of road that only had warehouses and offices on either side. Thanks to Unilocal (once again) I quickly read some reviews and made a bee-​line to Mezes.
We ordered Spanikopita, Hummus, Keftadakia & Gyro platter.
The hummus came with warm pita that had a perfect little bit of a crunch on the edges from being toasted. The hummus has a great consistency and just the right amount of garlic.
The Spanikopita was my least favorite and I would not order it again. The ratio of spinach to cheese, albeit authentic, was just not to my liking. The phyllo dough was soggy I suppose from being reheated for serving.
The Gyro was delish as expected, but isn’t served with any Tzaziki whatsoever… weird.
The Keftadakia with tzaziki was my favorite! Perfectly seasoned patties, juicy and hot. I tore that dish up! I ordered it as an appetizer so it came with 2 patties and a bit of tzaziki. But I noticed after that they offer it as a platter too.
As far as ambience, I enjoy the gentle Greek music playing throughout very much. The space however is a little cold mostly due to it’s size but that could be fixed easily, I think. The place was very clean, which I truly appreciate. I spotted the owner working here, and that was cool. The staff seem to be well trained. They are attentive and they keep busy.
This was a very nice find and I will be back if ever in the area.
Thanks Unilocal

This is not super duper fancy, but it is authentic Greek food. At least I believe it is but I am not Greek — so move over gyroville. It’s located in a shopping center that you would not think twice about stopping by but I promise fear not the food is worth it.
What to order:
Don’t be scared I didn’t understand the menu either but I can tell you the food was mouth watering just ask the waiter to explain.
Be advised this is off the lunch menu!
Start with the pita bread + hummus because it is house made hummus and the pita bread is soft and warm
I ordered a grilled chicken gyro with the classic tzatziki sauce & veggies.
It is not a fancy place but if you are interested in good greek food this is the place.

Okay, I’m on a roll with 5 star reviews but seriously, this place is that good! So good in fact, i’m writing this 3 weeks after having eaten there because I remember I HAD TO let my fellow Unilocalers know about this spot.
First, let me say, I’m from Miami and not from P. Pines but will absolutely go back, just so my husband can try other items (I took him leftovers which he happily chowed down).
I visited this little gem with my mom when we were in the neighborhood shopping (way better than shopping in Miami). At the recommendation of Unilocal,I said this was the place to go for lunch.
The service was great upon arrival all the way to the end. I have to ask a lot of questions because of diet sensitivities but our server was terrific and patient!
I love Greek food; my mom doesn’t even know what that is but I said she had to try it! She was visiting in town from South Dakota. She ordered the stuffed peppers and I had the keftedes sandwich. Now, I don’t normally eat pita or bread because I’m 90% gluten-​free and I don’t eat added sugar, ever. However, when they told me the bread doesn’t have any added sugar, it sounded too good to pass on. It was delicious! And their homemade fries were crunchy on the outside and so soft on the inside. Their tzatziki was also amaze-​balls (as my friend would say).
We also had the hummus to start, and I just ate it alone. Drool worthy.
My mom raved about her stuffed peppers, and this woman is not an adventurous food eater.
We both ate heartily and still had half of our plates filled with food which is what we took home to my husband who devoured it all. He lived in Turkey and traveled a lot to Greece so believe me when I say this man knows authentic Greek cuisine. We will most certainly visit again, even if it is a 40-​minute drive:)

After finding Mezes Greek Taverna on Unilocal and reading some of its reviews decided to give it a try. The place is really cute with stylish décor and very clean appearance. They have a few table set up outside if you decide to dine outdoors. A small bar is located on the left just after you pass their display case of delicious homemade desserts.
We started out with Hummus and the Grilled octopus. The hummus was smooth and creamy and tasted delicious on the warm soft pita triangles that accompanied it. The octopus was soft and tender seasoned in traditional Greek style and was not chewy.
Soon after came the Spanakopita, large flakey and full of spinach, only downside it was slightly over cooked.
This was follower up by two salads; the Horiatiki which has no lettuce and the Mezes (I added grilled chicken). Both excellent with a wonderful citrus drsg. The chicken was out of control good! So soft, tender with grilled to perfection.
We ended with two of their homemade desserts; the Baklava and a chocolate soufflé. I know what you’re thinking… Chocolate soufflé at a Greek place??? Yeah I thought the same thing but after seeing it in the display case I had to try it.
I am chocolate junkie and this was by far one of the BEST soufflés I’ve had. It was light, fluffy and so yummy!!!
The baklava was huge!!! Probably one of the biggest I’ve seen. It was so good with flakey filo dough and just the right amount of syrup. A scoop of vanilla ice cream would have made it a perfect 10 out of 10.
Service was good, however we did get there early and the restaurant was pretty much empty so I don’t know how service would be on a Friday or Saturday night.
The restrooms were clean but no baby changing station.
Will definitely go back.

We have been enjoying the food and service at this restaurant for many years. The food never disappoints, and the service is usually very good. When the place gets busy the service does suffer a bit, but it’s not bad, just a little slower.
We hadn’t been here for a while so we were looking forward to some great food. It was just as good as ever. The lamb kabob special was excellent, and I had enough for lunch the next day. Our oldest son ordered the swordfish and was very satisfied. The portion was enough to fill up a ravenous teenager. The youngest had the keftadakia platter (his favorite).
Stefano the server was great! It was good to see that Mezes still serves great food and we look forward to coming back again.

We hadn’t been here in a couple of years (we prefer Ethos or the Greek Taverna restaurants) but tonight we were hungry and the restaurant we wanted to eat at was closed. (We parked in front of Casa Borinquen but didn’t go in when we saw chairs on the tables and a woman mopping the floor. The hours on Unilocal said it was open until 10 p.m. but it was obvious we had to figure out a different place to eat and this was nearby.)
Mezes was busy. A hostess escorted us past several occupied tables to a two top in the center of the floor. We quickly ordered entrees and were served bread and a thin hummus while we waited for our food.
Steffano, our server, was efficient and courteous. He brought our entrees soon after delivering the bread and hummus.
I had the spanokopita dinner — (over)dressed Greek salad with briny, creamy feta cheese, spinach pie, and quartered potatoes with Greek seasoning. Even though the salad was heavily dressed, I ate just about all of it! The spanikopita filling was tasty but didn’t taste like fresh spinach, more like it mellowed with time. And the phyllo dough was well done. I’m not a big potato fan but I enjoyed the 2 bites I had because the seasoning was delicious.
Hubby had the gyro platter — pita bread with slices of gyro meat and tzatziki sauce on the side, a Greek salad, and baked/​fried thin potato wedges. I tried the gyro fixins and they were tasty.
We split a galaktoboureko dessert — a custard in phyllo dough — that hubby liked more than me. (I think Ethos restaurant’s galaktoboureko is better), It tasted like it wasn’t made today. The coffee was pretty good too.
We didn’t plan on eating Greek food for dinner, but all in all it was a good meal.

If you love food, you must try this hidden gem! The food here is wonderful, always consistent and delicious. You can never go wrong with the lemon chicken or calamari salad. It’s a bit pricey but worth it for the quality and flavor.

After having a middle eastern kick for some time I had to check out Mezzes it looks so good on Unilocal.
It’s in a strip mall plaza beside Big Lots.
As soon as you enter the restaurant there’s huge display cases of sliced and plated Baklava, other pastries, and more.
We asked for a booth and noticed there too be an older crowd, seemed like regulars.
Good pita bread, the hummus was okay.
We ordered calamari to start. It could have been more tender but there was such a huge portion, and on top of lettuce, with the garlic Greek potato sauce called Skoradalia. This was very tasty and rich I thought it was mayo based! There is no tomato sauce with the squid but that sauce is delish.
I ordered the Kefedes pita with rice. Kefedes is spicy beef patty– kinda like a hamburger. They used mixed greens in the wrap. It was good.
My husband ordered the gyro platter. The fries are frozen, and the gyro meat is too. I wouldn’t order it again.
We had to ask to waiter to fill our waters, he forgot came back and see asked again. I think the waiters cover many tables at a time.
We got the baklava to-​go and it was great.
It wasn’t memorable food at all, makes me empowered to cook this food from the freezer for myself at home.
