Eirinis Gyros & More — Restaurant in Corpus Christi

Today was a COMPLETE DISSAPPOINTMENT. I ordered chicken salad stuffed tomato ( which has been on the menu for years , but the owner was not making it). Our server said yes, we have it now , I was so excited , I thought the son had turned the place around, she came out a minute later , sorry we no longer serve it!! They should at least go thru all menu's and put tape over the item. So I ordered the Gyro meal with onion rings, not french fries. My husband had ordered the same thing, but with French fries. Meals came out, and my onion rings were piping hot . My gyro was not. I had asked for just meat and bread , and I like to put my own tazaki because when I have leftovers, it can be put in the microwave. It was on it, and it tasted off? Bitter? Did take it for my husband's leftovers for breakfast ,he will eat it. Both of our gyro 's were warm at best , I am used to not being able to eat it right away because meat and bread are so hot. His French fries were barely warm and not the double fries we had been served since they opened. We were told last visit that it was a supply issue , but not that it was a permanent change. We we were asked at the end of the meal how everything was , we said terriable and said everything I just said. THE SERVER had a defense to everything we told her , yes, that was the fries they used now , not even a sorry for cold food , she did not seem to care we have been coming to this location since it opened and the Cozy Corner before that and the one on Yorktown before he closed down. She said , "Well, glad you came today..... really??? I know the owner was there because we spoke with him , he either did not know we had complained or he is already ready to let his son take over. I am very sad as we have eaten food with these families' restaurants for years , no more ! Even though our last meal here was up to the old high standards, I can't go or recommend a place so inconsistent. Don't let today's pictures fool you it looked good, but only the onion rings were good, and the only thing...

I have lived in Corpus for 7 years , moved down from Chicago . One of the foods I missed the most were gyros . I only heard of Eirinis about a month ago and finally made it there , expecting a mediocre gyro at best . Boy was I wrong . The gyro I had was spectacular !! I could not believe this place had been there almost all along . I also devoured the fries , they have a seasoning that now makes them my favorite ever . Now to be clear , the gyros I am used to , have sauce onions and tomato . Eirinis serves theirs with lettuce instead of the onions . Next time I am there , I will ask if that can be adjusted . I ran into a friend there that frequents the restaurant , and he strongly suggested to always order the daily specials . Ok , next time I will . So the food I had was the best gyro and fries since I left Chicago . I STRONGLY recommend it . One flaw is the building , it is small , and the drive thru looks problematic . The restroom is only accessible if you exit and walk around the building , like old fashioned gas stations , unfortunately , it was as icky as an old fashioned gas station too . All that being said , I just won't use the restroom , and I can't wait...

Went to try some Greek food, or at least some hummus and pita bread. The hummus was great tasting with finely diced Kalamata olives and different seasonings. I think I saw some specks red crushed peppers, but not sure. It was not hot just very flavorful. The pita bread? I loved it! Fresh, it had some thickness to it to hold and scoop out the hummus. I also ordered a sandwich, Greekixcan. Fresh pita bread filled with large cubed chicken breast, strips of bacon topped with a generous amount of great tasting guacamole, citrus, good amount or combination of tomatoes and onions. On June 24, went again to try a different sandwich. We had Greek Philly (full of strips of beef, sauté veggies and a creamy & melting white cheese)and chicken souvlaki (plenty of lettuce, big slices of tomatoes, and moist pieces of chicken) sandwiches. I also ordered pita bread, fried pickles ( usual fried pickle chips, a little greasy but the Ranch dipping sauce is homemade, thick and garlicky) and baklava (packed with pecans or walnuts, buttery, a hint of cinnamon and honey; worth breaking any diet)! They have now been charging...
