    My family and I were on our way to Austin but stopped by in the Houston area for lunch. We found this place and it was def a great find. The Carne Asada my husband ordered was flavorful and the pupusas I ordered were big and delicious! They also had a dessert that I had not eaten since I was 7. Nuegados, man that def took me back to my childhood days. The waiters were super nice. Bathrooms super clean. Pretty good place!

    This place has been consistently good for years. My parents and I used to come here when i was doing dance practice for my 15 in the area. Now i'm 23 and came by since i was working in the area. Their food is too good honestly. I still think about this pan every other day. It was beautiful and delicious. Very flavorful and fresh!!! the service is good too. It's a quiet restaurant, nice to go to for lunch.

    This is probably one of my favorite Salvadoran restaurants in Houston. Their menu is expansive - offering pupusas, soups, seafood, parilladas... If you're new to Salvadoran food, you can't go wrong with the pupusa plate, which comes with two pupusas of choice, tamale of your choice and fried plantains or fried yuca. If you want to eat on the lighter side, the fried mojara plate with rice and salad is a solid choice - the whole fish was cooked perfectly and could easily feed 2-4 people. Salsa wasn't too spicy; curtido (cabbage salad) was great. The tortillas are homemade, too! Aguas frescas, beer, and micheladas are some bevs of choice. My grandmother loved the agua de jamaica; and the michelada mix was good. Wasn't expecting a Salvadoran restaurant to offer up a good michi. Cash and credit are both accepted. Menu has food photos, so no worries about any language barrier. Food comes out hot and fast. For those commenting on it being a rough neighborhood ... how so? It's a predominantly Latino neighborhood. Not sure how that translates into "rough." Expand your life experiences already...

    The food is great. Pupusas that are not greasy. Crisp curtido. Tamal elotes that tasted like you're processing the kernels on the spot. Prices are reasonable. It's in rough location, and the area is quiet which bothers me more than a place where foot and car traffic are busy like the Gulfton area. The place itself was clean, and quiet for a Saturday evening which reflected the neighbourhood. No one on their staff spoke English though so ordering was somewhat confusing as I puzzled over how plaintains were fried besides "normal". I think they were amused that I didn't fit the normal clientele.

    primera y última vez que voy, precios en línea y en persona son diferentes. me cobraron $2 por UN bolillo- total de $11 por plátanos fritos.

    definitivamente muy caro por algo buy básico $2 por UN bolillo. Total $11, ahora entiendo porque siempre esta vacío. precios en línea no son iguales en persona.

    The food is very badly cooked. My pupusa was burnt in some spots. The rice was flavorless and cold. And the pupusa sauce was basically water with a hint of tomato. The service was rude. And tried to overcharge us. I would not recommend coming here. It's definitely pricey for what they give and the given the area. Avoid!

    Special A:  Yucca (Cassava Root), 1 Tamale & 2 Pupusas
    Tracey L.

    The BF picked this place out and it was great!!! In fact, I am noticing that when he picks a restaurant it is good and when I pick it is hit or miss..... I ordered the Special A platter which came with Fried Yucca (and some fried pork), a chicken or corn tamale--I opted for the corn, and 2 pupusas--I had the Loroco/Cheese (Salvadorian exotic veggie & cheese) and the Revueltas (pork & cheese). Pupusas came with cabbage and some kind of really good red sauce. I didn't much care for the Loroco pupusas as it didn't have much flavor, but the Pork was EXCELLENT! Fried Yucca--Meh, not so much. It was like a French fry and the pork was really tough. But the Corn tamale was great! I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch, and am already planning on when I am coming back and what I am going to eat!!! :-D

    This is the only Salvadorian spot in this area. Desperately wanted pupusas and sopa de mondongo. The soup is literally just water, no rice, maybe 1 stick or carrot and 2 pieces of mondongo. I went up to the counter to ask for a lime since they never cared to check up on me (and I came alone and it's empty today) and the lady, who was literally blowing her nose, handed me a lime. I smiled and said, "maybe it's best if I grab the lime since you were blowing your nose ." Tell me why she got mad at me ‍ Disgusting. So disappointed in the quality of food and service. Never coming back

    Pupusa Revuelta, pastelitos de carne, yuca frita, pupusas de queso con loroco, platanos fritos. Ensalada de Fruta and Horchata.

    Come for great, cheap Salvadorean fare, not for ambiance. Love the pupusas and it is a plus that they serve cheap beer and micheladas.

    I have been a regular customer at Gloria's, which makes the way this was handled even more…read moreunacceptable. Within 3-5 minutes of my arrival, the valet driver, Gustavo, was involved in an accident in my BMW that caused substantial damage. Valet staff and restaurant management knew there had been an accident, yet no one came to notify me. I sat in the restaurant for more than 90 minutes completely unaware that my vehicle had been damaged. I found out only when I was leaving, when Gustavo approached me with, "Don't get an attitude, I had an accident in your car." That was his opening statement. Not an apology. Not "Are you okay?" Not "We need to speak with you." He damaged my property and somehow I was the one being warned about my attitude. He then became combative, raised his voice at me, and presented himself as though he were management. The level of audacity was almost impressive. Restaurant management did not handle it much better. Johnathan and Jose both acknowledged that I am a regular and recognized my face, yet management showed very little urgency, offered no meaningful acknowledgment of what had happened, and did not even offer to comp my meal. No, a complimentary dinner would not fix a BMW. It would, however, have demonstrated basic hospitality after allowing a regular customer to unknowingly eat dinner for 90 minutes while his vehicle sat outside damaged. The communication afterward with Cedars Valet was even more concerning. Mohammed, Cedars Valet President acknowledged in writing, "we admit what we did" and initially stated, "Rest assure we will cover our damage." Yet the conversation quickly shifted to Cedars attempting to decide, before BMW has even completed their inspection, which portions of the damage they would and would not accept responsibility for. Interesting approach considering Cedars had possession of my vehicle when the accident occurred. Accidents can happen. What does not have to happen is failing to notify the customer, allowing them to sit inside for an hour and a half, greeting them with hostility when they finally discover it, and then immediately trying to minimize the damage afterward. If you valet at Gloria's, understand the risk is apparently not limited to whether your vehicle gets damaged. Pay very close attention to how you may be treated once it does. As someone who regularly patronized this restaurant, I expected significantly better. The accident was bad enough. The lack of transparency, professionalism, accountability, and basic customer care afterward is what made the experience truly unacceptable.

    I'll start by saying that the service there was great. The lady taking our order was really…read morefriendly. She answered my questions and was helpful with ordering. I went there due to seeing their instagram story about a $10 meal deal (2 pupusas, a pastelito, and a soda) but they had run out of pastelitos so I had to quickly choose something so I'm thankful that they were happy to help answer any questions. It's a small food truck located in the same parking lot with Fiesta off Paton and Cavalcade so there's no seating or real space to eat (unless you eat in your car). They're also honest about the wait time. They said it would take 15-20 minutes and they didn't go over their time estimate. I have only had pupusas a handful of times (I'm from a small town in WA state that only had Mexican restaurants since only Mexicans lived there, so don't judge ) and can say these were the best I've had thus far. They were freshly made and piping hot when I got them (I had to put the bag down from my lap because it was too hot) and remained so throughout eating them. The cheese was gooey and stringy and their salsa has a nice little kick to it. It wasn't greasy or too salty which is always a plus. I ordered the revueltas (pork & cheese) and added beans to them. They are HUGE so be mindful when ordering them (they also taste better the next day if you have any leftover). These were definitely worth the price. I would recommend this place to anyone who asks if I know where they sell good pupusas. Let's just say I'll be going in again (they're so close to me). I hope y'all enjoy.

    New favorite coffee/study spot in Houston! This place is (I…read morethink?) in Montrose area, and a gem with parking both in front (with spaces) and street parking available. The baristas/servers are so friendly, and the shop truly feels homey. Perfection for studying, with inside ample tables/chairs with nearby outlets as well as some comfy chairs and a couch. There's also a cute covered outside area which I'm sure I'll experience post summer time. They have a few yummy looking food options at a great price point - including tamales and baked pastries. I picked the chicken tamale as a light lunch - I got the most delicious chicken tamale I've had thus far, served with kettle crinkle chips and a tamale sauce to dip. There are many coffee/non coffee options. I opted for the iced horchata latte - agree with prior reviewers that this is delish. It is not too sweet and a great blend of vanilla and cinnamon that masks the espresso. The atmosphere here is cozy but focused, with a mixture of people working/studying and hanging out. 10/10 will be back.

I always get their Horchata Latte---it is a perfect level of sweetness and the cinnamon complements the espresso perfectly (and it's only $5.50)! They have a variety of other drinks and pastries too, that I haven't been able to try. I highly recommend coming to study/catch up with a friend. There's a lot of coffee shops in the Montrose area but this has been one of my favorite.
