Pita's Republic — Restaurant in Citrus Park

As soon as I walked in the guy behind the counter was either having a bad day or just wasn't feeling it.. Asked a question about the menu with a snippy and abrasive response.. I'm from NY where I can understand a blatant disregard for stupidity, but I was simply asking a question whether it was a "wrap or a pita" and he was very upset over this and pointed to the menu like I was the problem. Being a first time customer I was sort of thrown off the experience to begin with..

Needless to say, the food.. that's what we care about.

I ordered the $8 Gyro with a $4 side of potato salad for $12.. they don't do fries, all they have are chips, salad and this nonsense potato salad for a $4 upgrade.. the Dixie cup potato salad they give you for 4 bucks was laughable and I regret paying for it..

The gyro meat and pita itself was standard practice and good, but the tomatoes definitely turned over and had that soppy, wet, stale fruit taste to them.. Skimped hard on the tzatziki sauce (which is the best part in my opinion) and overall a bad experience..

I don't like to critique too hard when going somewhere, especially for the first time, but this was a genuine bad experience.

There are many other pita and gyro spots around this so you'd think they'd compete.. even the pizza spots have a better handle of a gyro.

Won't go...

Great place! They have gluten free options as well as vegetarian and some vegan. The gluten free wrap is very good. You can't even tell its GF. Most of them fall apart but not the one Pita Republic uses. I had the GF falafel wrap and the stuffed grape leaves. The ingredients are all fresh and the taste is authentic to Mediterranean cuisine. Great healthy options if you need something on the go. The people who own/run the place are a very nice husband and wife. Its nice to see a family operated businesses in the neighborhood. Oh, also the prices... Can't beat them for the quality. For a HUGE wrap and 6 stuffed grape leaves, only paid $11. I highly...

Let me start by saying that I been in the customer service industry for a very long time so I know when someone is being genuine and I know what good customer service looks like. With that begin said, I want to say that the owner of this place really goes above and beyond for each of his customers. It seems that every time I’m there he’s always in a good mood and is kind to all of his customers which is refreshing to see. He suggested I get the Tex-Mex once and I was hooked to this place ever since. I’ve tried just about everything, from the gyros (bomb!), salads, hummus, smoothies, etc! I keep coming back because everything is so good and the prices...
