Cafe Athena is a delightful Mediterranean gem in Pacific Beach! 🥙 The pita wrap gyro was heavenly - tender meat with fresh veggies and perfectly balanced tzatziki. Our server, Rafa, was friendly and attentive, enhancing our experience. We dined on the lovely shaded patio, enjoying the sunshine and a quick bite.
The moussaka and chicken couscous stole the show, bursting with flavor. While I found the Greek salad a tad small for $14, the overall dining experience was fantastic. If you're craving a cozy meal with a Mediterranean twist, definitely give this place a try! 🌿
