Gloria's Cocina Mexicana

To el tragon!!! Ofcourse you think they overcharge, you orobably want more food than what they give a normal person. No wonder you are called el tragon, go to a buffet!! You get a great amount of food for a reasonable price. I've been going since it opened and they have great service. Ofcourse if you are demanding and disrespectful you are going to be treated the same way.

This was once my favorite place. It went from bad to really good to bad again. When they first opened they must have had a bad chef beause I didn't go back for some time. The food was awful on my first visit. I then went back after about a year or two. I figured if they are still in business, they must have improved from the last time I visited. And yes, they were actually really good. I tried the steak picado (really good) and also the mixed fajitas (on the good side) and the steak fajitas (great). Then I was introduced to their Mojito. For a mexican restaurant, it's GREAT! So then I became a regular. I loved it and my kids loved it....As time has passed the food is still good, and the Mojitos are good, BUT now they pack them with ice so you get about 1/2 the drink you used to. So they are definitely pinching the penny. Service was always good to mediocre but it has now gone down to bad service. So if you don't mind paying more for less and employees with attitude, managers who don't care, waiting a long time to be seated and no parking, go to glorias!

Pros: Food is still good

Cons: Bad service, Long wait all around, Parking

I use to love this place. I probably went there at least 25 times in the past. I haven't been there in a while, and we decided to go last weekend and my attitude about this restaurant completely changed. They went from about a B+ to an F.
First of all, we asked for some more chips and salsa, and the bus boy told us that there was an additional charge of $1 for each item. Now mind you, there were 10 of us and we were probably going to spend close to $200.00. Next, we waited forever (40-45 minutes) for the food to come. While we were waiting, not once did anyone come by to refill drinks or ask if we needed anything. I had to chase down the waitress and/or bus boy for anything we needed. Finally, the food arrived (BTW, everything on their menu had gone up $2.00 since the last time I came), and it wasn't like I remember. I got the fajitas (good portion) and they were different than before. Two of the meals were cold or luke warm. Then, there was the clincher for me. They basically brought us our tortillas. When we asked for more, they said that they cost $1 more per three. We stated that they did not give us enough based on the number of meals ordered, and the bus boy actually started arguing with us about it. I spoke to the manager who really didn't do much to gain my respect. She said they would not charge us for the extra 3 tortillas (even though they were owed to us anyway). She explained that in order to keep the costs down, they started charging for everything. She actually showed me where these new costs were located. I had to laugh as it was on the back of the menu where no one would look, along with a comment that says you can only dine there for 2 hours. Ok, so do they account for the length of time we actually spent waiting for the food? Nope! They asked us to leave after about an hour and fifty minutes. It was very rude too, much like the way that the other commenter mentions. In closing, I do not recommend this place, and I will go not go again.

I go there all the time am actually a regular during happy hour, and never had bad service.. The dinner is really good and the service was great!! Not sure why people will give it a bad review. The place is really nice. Clean and all that... Sometimes there is many unsatisfactory people..

After they take your order, they never come back again to ask if you need anything. I never got a refill on my water and my food was cold. My sister never got tortillas with her order and the waitress fought with her over that. You only get one basket of chips and salsa. After that, you have to pay a $1 for salsa and $1 for chips. They also charge $1 for an extra order of tortillas. We had been there for 1 hour and 50 minutes when the hostess came over and told us in a rude manner that our time was almost up. Apparently, you have to leave after 2 hours since that is their NEW limit for customers, even though we were a party of 9 and spent well over $100. Maybe since their gratuity was already included in the check they felt they did not have to work for it and instead gave us bad service. The manager was NOT helpful at all. She took no action whatsoever. After going here for many years, I don't plan to return ever again.

Pros: Food is ok, drinks are better

Cons: Bad service and long wait

Our experiences at Gloria's have always been great! The food is awesome especially the Molcajetes. My husband and I frequent this place ever since it opened sometimes alone, or with our toddler daughter, with friends at happy hour, and even had our wedding reception held there. Its an awesome place to relax, eat and enjoy great drinks or beer. Being of Mexican descent, we are quite finicky about "Mexican" food and this place is just very satisfying. The only downside to it is that if you have a large party, there are no reservations taken especially on Friday, Saturday or Sunday when the mariachi band makes their presence, but if you're willing to wait for a table, it'll be worth your while. Things to try are the Molcajetes, the pollo a las brazas and tons of their homemade tortillas, guacamole and horchata drink. ENJOY!

Pros: Ambience, Food, Drinks

Cons: Parking, Wait time on week-ends

If you are white they will kiss your feet if you are Hispanic they will take your money and put you to wash the dishes. Avoid them at all cost they are dishonest, they overcharge me and the food was mediocre and the service is one of the worst ever. I told the attendant that we need a table for 10 people and they cramp us in the Cantina were nobody took care of us. Please don?t be a fool.
