In Short – Part deli, part restaurant, Papa Cristo's is a cornucopia of Greek and Mediterranean edibles. Order food to go, dine in the casual cafe section or browse the olives, wines, pastas, pastries, meats and cheeses for delicacies to prepare at home. Dinner plates are basic meat-and-potatoes dishes with a Greek twist. Rotisserie chicken or loukanika (sausage) is sided by roasted potatoes, dill-flecked tzatziki and hot pita bread.

A Secret Pleasure
by FAIR1
This place needs to expand and be more service oriented like a true restaurant although they have counter order and carry-out too. I have no doubt it could be much more successful. The food is great and far from mediocre--Hey, if I could I'd eat there several times a week. Price is well worth the tasty food (meaning you'll mainly get cheap-to-moderate BARGAINS in taste). Note store items swing low and high, and the emphasis is on food in a no-frills dining hall sprinkled with object d'art, with a tiny patio area thrown into the mix. You may dress casual to upscale (not necessary so guess it depends on what you're celebrating) It's all about the food so you'll not want to enjoy it alone.
- Pros: Fast counter service available, divine selection, shop too!
- Cons: Small parking lot

Authentic Greek Taverna in East LA
by nvelis
This is the food I grew up on. The meats are amazing and the dips and sauces are authentic. Everything from gyros to grilled squid is on the menu and all with the authentic Greek flavors. Papa Cristos is fun for a group and appropriate for a family.
- Pros: amazing food, entertainment, the market, good parking
- Cons: styrofoam plates
