Greco Boys Grill Brings Great Greek Gyros to South Beach

| Gyro in pita ($6.95). |
Greco serves gyros and souvlaki for $5.95 to $6.95. Pork or chicken are the meat options for both, although you can also get a vegetarian pita filled with Greek salad and lettuce. The prices are certainly on target.
So are the gyro and souvlaki.
We sampled a chicken souvlaki and pork gyro. The former featured juicy chunks of zestily seasoned meat with tomato, onions, and tzatziki (cucumber/yogurt/garlic sauce) in fresh, warm, puffy pita bread. Pork in the gyro was even tastier; so much spicing is used on the meat that it's difficult to distinguish it from the traditional lamb. Plus it's plumped with the the same garnishes as the souvlaki. Both are great sandwiches.
We also tried a "traditional village salad" (horiatiki), which would have been perfect if the large chunks of tomatoes in the bowl possessed more flavor. Still, it's a solid rendition with cucumber and peppers cut large, small black olives (with pits), and feta crumbles mixed within ($7.95, or $9.95 for a large). If you prefer your feta in slab form, a slice is just $2.50.
There are numerous platter choices in which diners can get one or two souvlaki or gyro with salad and a choice of fries or rice. Prices for these plates range from $9.95 to $15.95. Lunch specials, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., offer fries and soda with any souvlaki ($8.25) or gyro ($8.95). Greco delivers, and yes, there's a delivery special too: any two souvlaki, either in pitas or on skewers, with fries and soda, for $12.95. Same deal for four is $24.45; for six it's $37.25. I can't go any further with this because my abacus isn't readily available.
