Normally, Glorias gives all its guests complimentary chips and salso along with black bean dip. The Domain location is spacious and with modern chic. We sat at the bar as that was the only seating available. Service was great as there are multiple bartenders attending to your every need. We did not have drinks...only water with ice and lemon.

We celebrated my dear friend Christina's birthday here, and everything was on point from start to finish. Let's talk food first, because whew. The Verdes--three chicken enchiladas smothered in green tomatillo sauce, topped with queso fresco and fresh cilantro--were flavorful, comforting, and perfectly balanced. Served with Spanish rice and pinto beans, and every bite showed care and consistency. The Red Snapper Tacos were fresh, light, and delicious. Three generous tacos with pickled slaw and chipotle ranch, paired with refried pinto beans and Spanish rice. You could taste the freshness, and nothing was overpowered or heavy--just done right. The Churrasco Típico? A full plate of joy. A 10-oz top sirloin cooked beautifully, Spanish rice, black bean soup, fried plantain, yuca, and chimichurri sauce that tied it all together. Hearty, flavorful, and satisfying without being overwhelming. And the birthday girl was treated to a complimentary slice of flan--creamy, Spanish-style custard with vanilla and egg. I've had flan before, but this one? Top-tier. Smooth, rich, not too sweet... absolutely perfect. Beyond the food, the service was excellent--our server and the bartenders were attentive, friendly, and clearly knew what they were doing. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and yes--the bathrooms passed the test (and that matters). Even better, Christina brought her daughter Gracie, and the baby enjoyed herself too--always a win. Great food, great service, clean space, joyful atmosphere. This was a night well spent, and we'll absolutely be back.

It matched well with a glass of the wine outside on the sidewalk patio, the sun setting and the sounds of the square at night. You don't have to have a meal - but if you're hungry you should. If instead you want something light and a glass of wine outside, that happens here too.

The price is now $25 per person and half price for kids. The buffet includes so many delicious fresh salads, fruits, plantains, and pastries, and the entrees from the kitchen (you get to order two with an adult brunch and one for kids) are always great -- salmon tacos, chilaquiles, waffles and pancakes with fancy toppings like mocha whipped cream and fresh berries. Reserve your table on Google and they will have it waiting for you with your name on a sign, which is a nice touch. Really great people here!

There's too few pupuserias in Austin! Overall a mediocre food experience, but if you're in the mood…read morefor papusas, not much choice for us here. Met up with friends and one of them loved the authentic vibes. When we're the only non-Hispanic people in a relatively full restaurant it's a good sign! Usually "authentic" when on the cheaper side means that it's cheaper quality but full of flavor, as people with lower incomes know how to make great tasting food that's filling for a lower cost - hence how ox tail and po'boys got created and has becomes staples. I can definitely attest it's authentic, however the taste and food quality is a tad lacking. Carne Asada - my friend said... I'm still chewing it when I asked how it was. Definitely low quality piece of beef, however not made any better by the flavor or the way it was cooked. Fried Fish - definitely the star! Slightly overcooked, but still juicy and tender, the fish had an excellent flavor. Warning it can be a lot of work to avoid the bones! (one friend had a tough time, while the other had it eaten in just a few minutes) Papusas - Mediocre. Good enough to fill the craving, however not the best showcase for the famous El Salvadoran dish. Good amount of filling and with ok taste. It could use more salt and be cooked a little crisper on the outside. Make sure to ask for the cabbage topping in case they don't bring it out - it was nice to see that the container for the cabbage had a prep date. Chicharron - Overall a little overcooked, but I feel like this is typically the case every time I've ever had it at any restauraunt. Chewy and overall good flavor. Tortillas - Thick!! And homemade! Yucca - I wish now I had known they had fried yucca, as it's harder to find than one would think in Austin. Make sure to ask for this fried treat, as it's 10x better than French fries!

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that likes to try new food.

The Margarita was delicious and the Queso was rich, creamy and had jalapeños, onions and tomatoes in it...very tasty. I ordered the Cheese Enchilada Plate. Which had two Cheese Enchiladas loaded with creamy cheese in corn tortillas, smoothed in cheese with onions on top, Mexican rice and creamy refried beans. Everything was seasoned to perfection and delicious. The service in this restaurant was amazing. I'm not sure if this is a family owned business or not, but they sure acted like it. We barely got seated before someone was bringing us menus, chips and salsa and taking our drink orders. Our drinks and food were brought out promptly and piping hot. Every person in this place was doing a multitude of tasks. Taking orders, bringing out the drinks, bringing out the food, refilling the drinks, chips and salsa, busing the tables and so on. No one person had just one job...everyone chipped in doing whatever was needed. Everyone made you feel welcome and appreciated. That's why I was wondering if it was family owned. The service was impressive. The atmosphere was upbeat and pleasant...very nice. The restaurant has plenty of seating. It's very clean. Has a nice ambiance. This was my first time here, but it sure won't be my last. I will become a regular customer.

The empanada was good, nice crispy exterior, creamy sauce and chicken on the side, nice pillowy dough, a little snack for a little price. The empanada was fried on the outside so it comes very hot. The roasted chicken meal it's great with a lime hint of flavor. It was a little dry for my liking, but for those that are on a special meal plan and looking for roasted chicken this is the best place to come get it because it is ultra healthy. Some parts of the chicken are moist but some are dry but overall it's good for roasted chicken. The fried chicken on the other hand is the masterpiece very crispy exterior a really nice flavored batter with a hint of cayenne and peppers. The batter is incredible, crispy mix crunchy, a little too oily for me but it was great. The rice is a side dish, it's ok, for texture it's fine but it has zero flavor I mean, zero. The special in house campero sauce taste like the same kfc good sauce or the jack n the box cream sauce, it's almost identical. It does remind me of raisin cane sauce but less vinegar and more sugary.

My son in law has Latino background and we were told that this is a famous and popular chicken fast food chain enjoyed by people from Spanish countries.

The Lito's de Abu is a Salvadoran bean dip with sour cream and chips. Very tasty. Portions are appetizer size so mix and match. Sample the different offerings.

We came in for happy hour which is $3 off all cocktails plus a free taco with every drink. That alone should make it worth a visit. We also ordered the papusas, ceviche, and quesadilla. I would probably not order the ceviche or quesadilla again, but the papusas were incredible. The service was great and they have plenty of heaters inside to keep everyone warm. Definitely give it a shot if you are in the area.
