Tino’s is at the north end of the Arbor Walk shopping strip where Loop 360 ends at North MoPac (Loop 1). We were in the area for lunch and picked Greek to try something different. Bring your kids, if they like Greek, this is not a high-brow type of eatery. The concept is simple, stand in line with a tray and pick either a platter (about $7.49) or a wrap (about $6). I went with a platter of Gyro meat, salad, tabouli, (one) dolmathe, and tzadziki. To round out the high price tag I got a pita and a fountain drink for a total of $9.68 with tax. It’s like a Greek Subway shop.
Everything tasted as it should, but I could not overlook the value of this meal. In my opinion, the price was a little high for the quantity of Gyro on the plate. I was glad to see the roasting spit and a carver slicing my order seconds before they handed my plate over the sneeze guard. The cashier was not as happy to see me. Note to the wise: you will have to ask for a receipt copy.
For those who do not like lamb, there are chicken and vegetarian options as well. The gyro is very mild and does not resemble any other lamb I’ve eaten. If I offered it to my children, $50 bucks says one of them devours it without blinking. If you’re not in to betting on your child’s taste buds, there is a kid’s plate on the menu ($3.50 meat and rice or potato and a pita).
The dolmathe was the best item I chose. It was only rice with a spiced sauce in a grape leaf, I guess I’ve developed a flavour for the hot and spicy Mexican foods in Austin. This is a project to recreate at home and include ground lamb in the rice mixture.
Tino’s offers fast food without a deep-fryer and I would visit again for lunch.
