Greek twice in one week.
Odyssey (San Marcos): What is there to say about this place, really, but:
--better than Daphne's
--Not to be mentioned in the same breath as Cafe Athena
It's San Marcos - a person can't ask for too much.
Harbor Greek Cafe (Liberty Station/Point Loma)
Not too bad actually! Doesn't have stellar reviews on Yelp. But my new pal (she is in need of a nickname - let's dub her CPGirl) likes it, so we checked it out for a picnic with the preschoolers. She is a fan of the "Greek pizza," which is a fresh veggie concoction on a pita. I was hankering for eggplant, and got the grilled eggplant sandwich. (though the grilled salmon sounded tempting too). It was quite delicious - this is a dish they don't have at Cafe Athena or Appolonia. Got SB a falafel plate. He didn't want the falafels, so I ate a few (not like kebab shop or sultan schwarma, but a cut above typical greek falafels). He liked the humus, pita and was scarfing up the greek salad, before he started coveting the goldfish crackers CentralParkGirl's son was enjoying. We wouldn't drive here just to eat. But we would pick up from them for a picnic again if we were visiting CPGirl, and it's a reasonable choice for anyone in the neighborhood. (Maybe their veggie options are better than the meat - on yelp they say the food is nondescript and nothing to write home about). But the veggie food was tasty and respectable!
