EL GRECO [City: Austin, Cuisine: Greek]
It’s a family affair at El Greco. Nearly every menu item at Austin’s newest Greek eatery stems from a family recipe. The zucchini stuffed with a savory blend of rice, beef, and Greek spices? The owner’s sister makes it. The aromatic eggplant full of sautéed onions, garlic, bell peppers, and parsley? That recipe comes from the owner’s wife.
The tarama, or Greek caviar dip, is salty and fetching, as is the hummus, chock-full of whole fresh chickpeas and dill. Served warm, the spanakopita is fab (think buttery, crisp filo jam-packed with well-spiced spinach, feta, and onion). And don’t miss the homemade spreads served with warm pita bread. Beer & wine.
