"Even though Ekko’s is nothing more than a counter and a few tables inside a Valero gas station, there's enough bright blue paint on the walls that you could pretend you’re looking out on the Mediterranean Sea. This Galleria spot operates a mostly carryout business with folks lining up for beef souvlaki kebabs with pita warmed-to-order and massive salads with dressing you should consider taking extra home extra of. Plus, if you stare into Ekko's deep blue walls for a few minutes, you may catch the scent of sea spray." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
