Rincón is one of those towns that appears on many people's lists of favorite places to visit. From its unmatched sunsets to its globally recognized beaches, Rincón has a magical charm that makes you want to come back again and again. The town has much more than beaches, including a varied list of places for a memorable dining experience. If you're in the area these days, we recommend stopping in to try Gylro.
Inspiration
Gylro is right on the plaza in Rincón and was designed as a restaurant that fuses Mediterranean flavors with criollo style. The owner was inspired by the concept after doing an exchange program in Barcelona, where eating gyros is very common, particularly after a night out.
The gyro is a Greek dish, a style of sandwich, built on pita bread with some type of roasted meat. Classic gyros are made with lamb. From there, you can add whatever you like, but they are usually finished with tzatziki sauce, tomatoes and onion.
Offerings
At Gylro, you can choose lamb, chicken or beans as your protein, and the order comes with tzatziki sauce, tomato, onion and parsley. For an additional 75 cents, you can add a variety of toppings, such as amarillos, bacon and cheeses.
Space
The space has an open-air terrace, and the atmosphere is casual and tropical, with flowers on the walls and a tiki-style bar. In addition to local beers such as Ocean Lab, they have a solid cocktail program. Gylro is the perfect restaurant after a long day on the west-side beaches.
