I had greek food today and there was no way to make it spicy hot. The souvlaki and tziki sauce would of been weird if I had added hot sauce to it.

Yes, assuming souvlaki and tzatziki not being the only greek dishes out there.
I always add freshly chopped chili peppers to my greek meatballs. Tzatziki sauce is probably a bit hard to spice up, it's meant to be fresh.

Besides that, you can always just make Gyros and spice them in whatever way you want
Stop trying to ruin greek food.
The greek places near me have harissa, or something like it. It's perfectly good to add to yogurt based sauces like tzatziki.
Hey guys is there a way to make this Italian food taste a little more Mexican?

Pepper plants are from the New World but that don't mean someone couldn't have planted a bunch in Greece, they escaped and went wild. It's a very hardy plant and it wouldn't have any natural predators in the Old World.

This is so true. I'm Greek living in Seattle, and compared to what I'm used to, the produce at the supermarkets here is slop. Romaine lettuce is terribad, tomatoes too. The oregano I buy here is so bland and lacks the aroma of Greek oregano.
That's why the Greek food made here seems so subpar.

You can say the same of any food using sub-par ingredients. Farmer's markets are your friend, in that regard, or there are a variety of services these days where you buy directly farm farmers or co-ops.
As for oregano, I know what you mean. I mainly use Mexican oregano (similar but different from Greek oregano). I get mine from a Mexican restaurant; the owner in turn gets it directly from Mexico.
Have to go out of your way here, sometimes, to get high quality ingredients.
