I visited here for the first time recently during a visit to town. I was with a group of seven. The vibe is nice and inviting. The staff was very friendly. We ordered a variety of things: Oaxaqueñas, device, al pastor tacos, bistec tacos, guacamole, chile con queso, refried black beans, and cocktails – house marg, ranch water, flavored margs, paloma, mojito. Everything was hit or miss. Nothing was terrible but everything – drinks included – was either REALLY good or just okay. For us, what made something really good was having it be flavorful. For example, the charbroiled beans and guacamole needed more flavor. We added lime and they both tasted much better. The Oaxaqueñas was so flavorful and delicious. So was the device. The meat on the bistec tacos was dry but the tacos didn’t taste bad. I’d come back and try a few more things on the menu, to have a solid line up of regular choices. The prices were fine. We were there during happy hour, so most drinks were reasonably priced.

The mole chicken enchiladas were amazing. Very flavorful and the presentation was spectacular. Great house marg as well, happy hour prices made it better and it wasn’t too strong! The salsa had more of a mole flavor to it which I liked, very unique
I came in on a time in between lunch and dinner and the vibe was perfect. I got a table outside overlooking the river. The restaurant’s outside area is well done I can see why this is a top rated spot in San Antonio

It has been a few years since I’ve been back to La Gloria. I was craving the beef molcajete and was glad to see it is still on the menu. We also ordered a peruvian style ceviche, guacamole, black beans and a couple of margaritas.
First I want to share that the consistency in the food quality was everything! The beef was so juicy and tender and the flavors of spices in were perfection with the molcajete. If you’re from out of town, you must give this a try. Our ceviche was also delicious! The agua chile, and crispy topping made the dish extra flavorful. I will say if you love avocado, the side guac is perfect to pair with the mocajete. I will definitely be back more often.

Our dining experience commenced with indoor seating, where the temperature was around 78 degrees, slightly warmer than ideal. In retrospect, the Walmart portable air conditioning unit nearby should have indicated that the air conditioning system was malfunctioning. Chef Johnny Hernandez’s Mexican recipes did not align with expectations, particularly considering the high prices. The $28 carne guisada in a molcajete was not accompanied by rice or beans, and the rice lacked flavor, with no apparent inclusion of corn or tomato. The charro beans, priced at $8, tasted more like canned pinto beans with pico added, which seemed excessive. While the corn tortillas were not authentic, the flour tortillas were decent. Unfortunately, the bistek was dry and tasted similar to beef jerky. A meal at Taco Jalisco would have been a more cost-effective option, considering the $140 total for dinner.

Mexicans don’t eat here. Locals don’t eat here unless they want very Americanized Tex-Mex. It’s not a tourist trap but it’s very business meeting, out of town family visiting, white washed Tex-Mex. The enchiladas are okay at best. The ingredients on the menu are toppings not fillings – and I tried 3 different ones. So if you get the veggie enchiladas then expect a cheese enchilada topped with everything else. The chips and salsa are both okay at best. For the price you can do way better. Indoor and outdoor seating is available.

We had attempted to eat at this La Gloria restaurant. The way the entrance to it is confusing if your not coming in from Grayson St. Otherwise, good luck getting into parking lot. Plus it’s free to park and eat here before 3:00 p.m Since it at or near The Riverwalk. Anyways we were greeted by a friendly hostess and we were asked if we’d like inside or out on the patio. It was already humidity hot so we ate inside. Also, our server Adrian did an amazing job answering all our questions regarding history of the restaurant and the specialty of the foods we had. We had a variety of different foods. We started with queso chorizo dip and chips, shrimp aguachili and enchiladas chicken mole sopes. All of it was true mexican cuisine. All was of great flavor. Now that we know when and how to enter the parking lot. It has a calming atmosphere. We will come back for more sampling of the geat food.

We found this gem on our way back to our hotel. The vibe and atmosphere are in still in holiday spirit which made seating outside even better. Our waitress Yojandy was busy but still took her time with us and spoke both English and Spanish, which is always a plus for us. We were a party of 3. We ordered a few plates and drinks, both drinks and food arrived immediately. I was surprised with it being a full house, how quick it was. Thankfully the food was great despite the reviews. This place is def worth a try, I will def come back next time we are in town.

The kiddos and I really liked the vibe of this place. First of all, it has good parking where a lot of the other locations does not have good parking. Secondly, it has both indoor and outdoor spaces that are very artistic and there is lots to look at. Very child friendly. The negative is the absolute tiniest portion sizes at a premium price. We are still in Texas and not in Europe. We had five people and ordered seven entrees and all left hungry (three of these were kids under the age of 12). The dessert was the funniest. The picture does not really do it justice. It was about the size of a deck of cards and they charged $10. Even though the place was cute and the food tasted pretty good, I can’t overcome the feeling of being underwhelmed with portion size and overwhelmed by cost.

This place was incredible. The food was amazing, the decor was both vibrant yet super cozy, and the location was choice (on the Riverwalk). I was the blanquito — with limited Spanish and a little hard of hearing — eating with my significant other’s Mexican family who were entertaining and visiting cousin from Monterey, so I got quite the full-on dining experience in the partaking of this Mexican American cuisine. I’m so glad it was experienced at La Gloria and not elsewhere!
