The Mad Greek Café quotes Socrates. The façade is unique in two prominent ways. One, it is probably the only good food you are going to find for a long time either coming or going to Vegas, or heading South towards Los Angeles. Number two, which is just as good as one, is that authentic Greek food is made here. Mad Greek Café is owned by Larry and Maria Dabour. It was taken over from their brother and built step by step. Mauricio is the manager and has been for twelve years. He “baby-sits” everybody.
The blue and white, ship type atmosphere is both cheerful and somewhat mad—as in passionate about Greek food and culture. There is authentic Greek coffee from Greece. The family is from Athens where various degrees of the family work together. It looks like they employ most of the population of Baker, CA, also known as Alien Country. You will see why if you have ever been here or pass by.
Upon arrival at the Mad Greek Café, you are hot and dry. On your way out, you will leave refreshed. It helps to have a good meal on a long and sometimes very long, journey.
