Elsa's Kitchen - S San Diego

Good gryros. Proper street style with onion, tomato, and creamy tatziki sauce. No lettuce or other junk. Just the OG!

Dunno what it is about this place, but certain dishes just hit. Beef/chicken kabob combo for one. Gyro dinner. Good for quick quality takeout. Very hole in the wall.

This young lady at this place can easily win the world championship in rudeness and worst customer service. Shame on such an attitude. I won't even go there for free. You don't deserve to be in our neighborhood. I wish I can give this place zero star. It's not only about the food . Respect people before you feed them. Shame on you.

Food still great! Bunch of specials. Food is like home made! Restroom has been out of service for years , just a heads up! Update: 6/8/22 Still amazing food. My favorite is just the traditional cheeseburger meal! Anything you get from this place is a new unfamiliar taste in your watery mouth. I love this place. I moved to north county. When I 'm down in San Diego La Mesa. I have to stop by and support the little family kitchen! Thank you Elsa 's Kitchen for always making me fresh food! Oh and the chicken sandwhich is a classic! If you are a la mesa native. This is a must spot. The food is extremely fresh , from scratch. It 's not like other food places , that make you feel crazy full or bloated. The price and specials they have make it worth every penny. There main is greek but honestly everything on the menu is great! Especially the burgers and crispy chicken sandwich! Nice little hidden spot. Very homey feeling. If you are hungry at got the time definitively a cool little joint!

Food is ok. Nothing spectacular and they charge for any sauce 50 cents for tzatziki. Service was not friendly. Girl working seemed really unhappy and robotic. And kept taking phone orders while I was standing in front of her trying to place an order. $5 for a side of fries is also ridiculous.
