Porque abrir un restaurante sino tienen comida para servir? Venimos desde Dallas, y traemos visitas de unos amigos Mexicanos que se llevaron la peor experiencia porque no pudieron ni siquiera probar la comida. 0 recomendado.

    FIRST TIME VISIT! So…read morea friend and I decided to try this place out for the very first time. I LOVE Latin flavors so I was very excited to try some comida Nicaragüense. THE SPACE: The location is in a very small strip mall. Finding parking right up front wasn't an issue. From the outside, it looks like we are about to experience something very authentic! Iykyk! From the inside, I KNEW I was going to get some genuine Nicaraguan food and drink. This place is very hole-in-the-wall, and may even be family run. A small child ran out from the kitchen area and sat herself at our table for like 20 mins. THE MENU: yielded a selection of foods that I was familiar with and dishes and beverages that I had never heard of. Fun!!! The server did not speak ANY English. Not a big problem for me, I speak Spanish well enough to get me some grub, but my friend struggled some. So heads up to you non-Spanish speakers! Luckily the menu has many pictures, so as long as you don't have questions or concerns about an item, pointing should get food on your table and in your belly. THE FOOD: I opted to order some Papas Rellenas to start us off. I'm very familiar with the Cuban version, so I was curious. They were out. I order a nacatamal for my friend to try. I already know the texture is squishy, as it is much like a salvadorean nacatamal, which isn't my fave, but my friend enjoyed it. She broke it up before I had a chance to photograph it whole, but I love when a tamal is steamed in banana leaves. I asked to order the drink called semillas de jicaro. Sounded a lot like a salvadorean horchata, which I love. They were out. Ugh. The server talks me into ordering the arroz con piña. It is NOT what I was expecting. Tastes nothing like pineapple, in fact it tastes like watered down fresh strawberry water, is even colored pink! and not very sweet, COOKED rice at the bottom and a tiny bit thick, might be from the starch of the rice. Wasn't BAD, just not what I was expecting. I really wanted to try another beverage but our server didn't come back for a while. Which was fine, didn't really want to spend another $7 on a drink... a non-alcoholic one at that. I ordered the cerda frita for my meal. Large strips of pork that tasted like it was marinated in something acidic like vinegar or citrus. Lots of fat but I didn't care, I sliced right into it. Lol! It wasn't very flavorful. The fried cheese was good and I wish I had noticed that I could have ordered bananas cooked a different style. I also wished I'd noticed MUCH earlier that my meal came without the rice and beans it was supposed to. I would've been much happier as my meal would've been much more balanced. Another bummer is that our server brought out one dish every 10 minutes or so which was kind of inconvenient as we weren't able to eat our meal at the same time. OVERALL: I don't regret the experience, but I wish I was a lot more impressed with the service and items I ordered. If you're curious, try it for yourself and hopefully they'll knock it out of the park for you.

    I use to frequent this place when they had a food truck set up on Potranco Road which seemed to…read morealways be busy. It might be less busy now as the construction worker foodies that made up most of their clients have dropped off now. However, coming to their brick and mortar location is more convenient for me as I enjoy having my lunch in an AC environment opposed to outside in the Texas heat. The menu is also expanded which I do like. I went with the Pork Frintanga plate. Pork is very tasty and chewy which is a nice touch to me. Add in the sweet plantain and fried cheese and this dish was definitely a winner. Big change up from the food truck meals of mainly papoose, which are a great food truck item. Service is a bit quiet, due to the language barrier, and their lack of speaking English probably hurts the business for non Spanish customers. For me, it adds some authenticity to the experience.

The food has that homemade, comforting flavor that just wraps you up and says, "you made the right choice today." Every bite tastes like it was made with care--not rushed, not generic. The portions are generous (come hungry), and the vibe is warm and welcoming. It's not about being trendy--it's about being good, and it absolutely is. This is the kind of place you come back to again and again when you want real food that actually satisfies.

    I am delighted to give Gloria's Latin Cuisine at The Rim in San Antonio a well-deserved five-star…read morereview. Whenever I have the opportunity to visit The Rim, Gloria's is my first choice. The food is consistently exceptional, and the carne asada is truly outstanding--perfectly seasoned and complemented by delicious plantains, Yucatán-style fries, Spanish-style rice, and fresh chimichurri. The flavors are vibrant, carefully prepared, and memorable. Over the years, I have visited countless times and have never had a disappointing experience or a lackluster meal. The entire team--from the hosts and bussers to the food runners, servers, and managers--demonstrates remarkable professionalism, attentiveness, courtesy, and efficiency. Their commitment to hospitality is evident in every detail. The ambiance is equally impressive. The artwork, music, décor, and overall design come together beautifully to create an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and inviting. I typically visit during the early afternoon on weekdays, but I have also enjoyed several Friday and Saturday evenings, when the restaurant transforms into an especially vibrant and energetic experience. The waterfall wall is just one of the many striking elements that makes the space so memorable. Gloria's Latin Cuisine at The Rim consistently delivers exceptional food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable atmosphere. If you are anywhere in the San Antonio area, I highly recommend visiting--you will not be disappointed.

The only consideration for large groups is that the music volume can make announcements a challenge to hear.
