With eateries in Irvine and Newport Beach, Nick the Greek, the San Jose-based chain known for its beef and chicken gyros/souvlaki and other Mediterranean-themed fare, will expand farther south when it opens its latest spot in San Clemente on Tuesday, April 29.
Other menu highlights include rotisserie meats, charbroiled skewers, burgers, gyro bowls, plates, soups, salads, fries, hummus, baklava and frozen yogurt. In addition to more recognizable soft drinks, Nick the Greek will also carry Loux, a Greek beverage company known for its fruit-flavored sodas, like sour cherry and orange.

The San Clemente spot comes on the heels of the Irvine opening in early March, expanding Nick the Greek’s footprint to five locations in Orange County.
First opening in 2014 in San Jose by a trio of first cousins — who, all sharing the name “Nick Tsigaris,” distinguish themselves with the monikers “Big Nick,” “Little Nick” and “Baby Nick” — the chain has grown to more than 80 locations, in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and Kansas. Nick the Greek has been on the rise since since it started franchising in 2019.
