I did not know what a papusa was, but now I do, and I love them! It’s cold and dreary here right now, but this restaurant is warm and inviting. The inside is so full of life. I can’t explain it, but the color of the walls is warm, and it was full of seemingly happy people… such a contrast to what was outside.

i’ve loved gloria’s since they first opened. i was so happy when they expanded into a larger environment after that horrible flood, and have been very impressed with their continued growth and consistently outstanding food. i’ve had many pupusas in my day, and gloria’s has always taken the cake. i decided to branch out this time, and i found my new favorite with their yuca chicharron dish. wow, wow, wow. the papas fritas was the perfect app, and the horchata was so fresh and creamy. the server was very pleasant, helpful and kind, and their outdoor seating is super welcoming. i’ve been here dozens of times over the last several years and i’ve never left unsatisfied. i’d give them 10 stars if i could. just delicious. 🙂

Today was my first experience with Salvadoran food, and my first time at Gloria’s Pupuseria. I absolutely loved it! They have a large selection of kinds of pupusas, their jalapeño sauce was delicious, and top each bite with a little bit of their curtido (slaw)… ¡Delicioso! The place had really nice atmosphere, the staff was informative and very welcoming, and I loved the artwork on the walls. I highly recommend this place, and I will definitely be going back!!

After a very long day of driving across many states, we needed to find a special place for dinner as it was my daughter’s 9th birthday. We went to Gloria’s based on their high rating and we were not disappointed! EVERY SINGLE thing we out in our mouth was so flavorful and delicious! From the chips and guac, the fried yucca, carne asada, pupusas, and their horchata- it filled our belly in the most wonderful way. But beyond that, they went above and beyond to make my daughter feel special on her birthday with singing and their incredible tres leches cake. A little girl at the restaurant even gave my daughter art to celebrate the occasion. Experiences like this make me realize how much good there is in the world and the kindness of strangers that instantly feel like family restores my faith in humanity. Thank you to Gloria’s for a birthday my daughter will never forget.

Affordable, cute Salvadoran restaurant. I have never had pupusas in my life but I loved them! Cheesy and homey, better than arepas for sure!!!! You can really taste the corn in everything. Their enslada drink was also super refreshing and delicious.

Gloria’s Pupuseria in Staunton, VA is amazing! I’d never had pupusas before, and they are absolutely delicious—homemade, unique, and full of flavor. The service is fast, the prices are very reasonable, and everyone there is super friendly. The restaurant is cozy and inviting, and the bar looks awesome. Even though I don’t drink, I loved their non-alcoholic Atlética Copper with a lime. This is the kind of place that makes you feel like you just had something truly special.

Bartender wasn’t very friendly and I felt like I was bothering her when I needed something. In addition, it took over 30 minutes to get our food.
Happy hour drink prices are great and I will go back just for that.

The best pupusas I’ve had in VA, period. I always have to go to MD, so it’s nice to know there is another one I can visit instead. I only want to return to Staunton for these pupusas. We ordered revueltas y queso con loroco with harina de maíz, revueltas with harina de arroz, horchata, and platanos fritos con crema. Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh! I love pupusas so much, I have them tattooed – main reason is I grew up with them since I’m Salvadoran.
