Marco's Pita

If only the service was better

I had been a fan of Marco's for years. I loved the food and loved how friendly Marco always was. One time I tried to call an order in and was treated extremely rudely on the phone. After writing Marco a letter concerning the incident and hearing no response I will never eat there again. Too bad, I'll miss their roast beef pita.

nice casual, hip atmosphere with a strange combination of menu choices that give a hint of middle-eastern flavor. my food was served cold (even the parts that should have been hot), and it tasted as if it had been prepared a while ago. maybe i went on the wrong day (fri night), but loud tv with people screaming on it drowned out my conversation. what's worse is that they tried to charge me above menu price saying that new menus are arriving tomorrow. bad bad bad

Awesome food. I eat here about twice a week. Always tasty, fresh, and healthy. Since everything is made fresh it takes a few minutes, but its definately worth it. I would suggest calling ahead to order if your getting carry out.

Great lamb gyro and falafel. Service can be a little slow but well worth the wait. And if you're tired of all the fast food/chain restaurants then you'll like the cool, local atmosphere.

I love their sandwiches. They have the freshest ingredients and no matter what I order, it's always good.

Marco's has a better bang-to-buck ratio than almost anywhere else in the city. Falafel sandwiches come with crisp toppings, tart yogurt sauce and deep nutty flavor. The lamb gyro fares equally well, though the sandwich could do with more meat. Super-size pitas are built for those who haven't eaten in three days; the regular-sized ones are for those who haven't eaten in two. If you still feel hungry, try the fresh, vinegar-sharp grape leaves or, if your taste leans the other way, the sugar-rush baklava squares.
