Hi.  Happy HaHalloween_001_3lloween.  I don’t play games with treats, or decorations.  Fast food bags turned to luminaria.  Hope you had a nice day.Halloween_002_12

So.  The Northeast corner of El Cajon Boulevard and 70th Street, just next to the Exxon gas station.  That parking lot.  Here is the street sign. Elsaskitchen_011_3

Here is what the front window looks like.  Hopefully when you go, the  mall will be finished being re-done and there will be signs above the doors of the various businesses.Elsaskitchen_001 

Here is a close up of that front window.  Daily specials. Great prices.Elsaskitchen_003

The menu is simple.Elsaskitchen_002_4

Elsaskitchen_004 As is the interior. Seven tables.  Simple. Clean.

ah- the food.

Elsaskitchen_007_2 The Spanakopita and falafel side dish. ($4.25)

Three fresh made falafel nuggets.  Tasty.  Served with a yogurt based tzatziki sauce. 

The Spanakopita was very fresh, large and savory.  Feta filled and with flaky filo dough.

The Pastrami sandwich.  ($5.20) Not fatty, a lot of meat, mustard and pickles but the meat was kind of too peppered for my liking.   The bread was very fresh.Elsaskitchen_008

The small order of onion rings ($1.75) – perfect.  Almost every Greek place we go to just knows how to make onion rings the right way…a light batter, wide cut sweet onions..gosh I could eat these every day. Elsaskitchen_009

The Gyros sandwich, deconstructed ($4.50).

Lots of thicker cut gyros meat, with nicely crispy fried edges…a good fresh fluffy bread….tomatoes,  onions and the fresh tzatziki.  Simple and perfectly good.

Elsaskitchen_010 We also got a vanilla shake ($2.25).  Not bad, but not

great.

When we were there, a few people came in and ordered the burger, done medium rare and took it to go.  I will try that soon.
