This place never disappoints!! Every time I visit, I have such a great experience, the food tastes amazing and the waitstaff has always been very friendly and attentive. Honestly, it’s some of the best service I’ve ever had at any restaurant.
Also, the chips and salsa are better than anywhere else. The salsa just has such a great flavor — it’s hard to explain, but wow!
Yesterday we stopped by and one of our fajita portions looked a little smaller. We mentioned it to our server just to check if everything was correct, and she didn’t even hesitate — she brought us extra right away to make sure we were happy with our order. That really shows how much they care about their customers.
I will definitely keep coming back.

The last four times I have ordered to go here and they’ve messed up my order each time. I always ask for extra chimichurri sauce and it hasn’t been included the last three times, so yesterday I called to confirm that my order stated “extra chimichurri” and I was reassured that they had this down for both orders. When I opened my orders at home, there was no chimichurri sauce. Once they even forgot the auguachile and yesterday when I ordered it, it came with no avocados. That’s one of the main ingredients inside! On top of the missing items, there was also poor packaging as well as issues with all the sides – 5 plantain chips for the aguachile, just enough rice for a spoonful, no cheese on the beans, a half used or half full green sauce, and no chips for the salsa. They aren’t very friendly either. I used to really like this place but I can’t even place a simple order and know for certain I’ll get everything that is included on the dish.

Used to come here frequently, visited last Friday for the first time in a while and was sad to see the quality of food & service had decreased a ton.
10 minute wait even though the place was not super busy. Whatever, not a big deal. We get seated and our waitress barely spoke English. She responded to questions in Spanish and then did not know how to communicate further when we told her we didn’t know Spanish. We just got a blank stare. We ended up making it through lunch by pointing at what we needed.
We got one small salsa for three people, had to ask for a refill on the salsa four times before we finally got it halfway through our meal being done. I also had to ask for my soda that I ordered three times. We had to flag somebody else down to refill our water.
As other people have pointed out, I was shocked by the portion sizes. I got the steak fajitas. It came with (literally, I have the picture here), 5 pieces of fajita meat & two small cuts of bell pepper. The fajita meat itself was good, everything else was just meh. I’d rather them just up their menu prices than give you a laughable amount of food.
Sad to see a place that used to be so fun & with great food + service decline so sharply, but many such cases these days. Won’t be returning anymore, I’ll try to forget this last trip & remember Gloria’s from her glory days

Looooove Gloria’s!! Food is exceptional, the salsa and bean dip… yummy! And the margaritas…. Loooord so good and strong. So strong on the original margarita you can only order two per person. Whew I been going there for years and they are as good as the first time! Thanks Gloria’s for always giving excellent service and food!

I was here for brunch! The waitstaff and bar staff are great! Everyone is helpful, kind, and always in a great mood! As I sat at the bar, Maria, one of the waitresses, stopped briefly to say hello. She noticed that my coffee cup was chipped. (I hadn’t even noticed that!) Maria was very kind and went out of her way to secure me a different coffee cup and then proceeded to pour me my first cup! The level of attention to detail and service is phenomenal! Very thankful to Maria! Gracias!

Gloria’s is never disappointing. I love the Gloria Super Special-little bit of several specialities. We had a group of 15 the day before Thanksgiving. Great atmosphere for a group. Everyone loved what they ordered.

I can say it had been 2 years since I ate here. We came to this place Sat for Valentines dinner. The place was half empty but it was early. The service was fast and she got our drinks and chips etc. We we ordered chicken fajitas and a vegetable fajita plate. The food got out in a good time. My biggest issue was as the food. When I say they gave us a A teaspoon of each item besides the meat. That would be generous. The beans took up half the plate. One tiny red pepper. When I say not enough cheese or sour cream for even 2 tortillas. 4 slices of Chicken. How can you justify that? I would pay more for more food. I mean at least give us enough to put on the amount of tortillas. Even the rice did not fill up one fork full. I am not exaggerating at all. Yes the food did taste good bye my god give enough to at least for a meal. We are not big eaters and both 60. Being that said we had 2 tortillas and that is all we had food for. I can say I will not be going back. I have no problem paying for things as long as you give us something.

She went above and beyond in every step of being our server and ensuring we had a great experience! The music is very welcoming and diverse which is a plus! I now have a new place to come and enjoy a well prepared meal just as if my momma made it!

Every weekend I spend a lot of money on this restaurant, and this is the third time I’m missing food or received undercooked food, i wanted to talk to the manager and he hung up on me, every time the restaurant is full of people they always send undercooked food, i wouldn’t recommend never again, they are unprofessionals.
