Greek Restaurants in Puerto Rico

If you’re craving Greek food in Puerto Rico, you won’t be left guessing where to go. Greek cuisine here isn’t as widespread as some other international eats but don’t get discouraged , there are a handful of places that really know what they’re doing.

San Juan’s Santurce neighborhood has a few laid-back spots where you can grab a gyro that hits just right or a plate of saganaki sizzling at the table. One local favorite I always recommend is Athenian Grill, tucked near Plaza del Mercado, where the lamb is juicy and the tzatziki never fails to impress. Don’t be surprised if you find locals grabbing a quick bite there during lunch hours.

Oh, and pro tip: Puerto Rico gets pretty hot, so ask for their chilled Greek salad or a cool glass of retsina if they have it; it’s refreshing and pairs perfectly with the garlic-heavy dishes. Also, if you’re around during the week, some spots offer weekday specials that give you more bang for your buck without compromising flavor.

Greek food in Puerto Rico tends to be earnest, simple, and honest , none of the over-styled stuff you sometimes see elsewhere. After a few visits, you’ll start spotting how they tailor Mediterranean flavors with a Caribbean touch, which is pretty neat if you ask me.
