The birria tacos are a must have if you come here. They were perfectly prepared and well seasoned. Service was amazing considering it was just me and my two girlfriends there. Food took a bit to come out but it wasn't a big deal as our drinks were fast. Ambiance seems like a cute spot to come for a happy hour or weekend night. read more

Great spanish food, great vibes and drinks. Good spot on the weekdays and weekends. They have a happy hour with great prices and very friendly and helpful bartenders. read more

Happy Hour until 8pm!!! That's unmatched! What a great deal And the Food and Drinks were excellent ! The tostones with pernil! Do yourself the favor and order. The pernil was flavorful and paired well with the Guac and tostones. The chicken empanadas were also packed with flavor. The wings weren't anything special the flavors are your basic flavors but nonetheless they were not disappointing. Our waitress was kind and attentive. I think once word gets out this place will be full. For now it was quiet for a Thursday evening. read more

Cute place, DJ was great and just getting started. Food was good. Met my girls for happy hour which they just changed the times until 8pm. Shots were flowing and the drinks were good. Waitress was wonderful very attentive. Bathroom is cute and lots of places to take pictures. They also do a paint and sip every Tuesday. Parking can be crazy as it's on the street, there is a garage near by. read more

Okay okay it looks like yall disappointing us all around. First was with the $25 door cover, ummm why? Second was the fact that you deleted the back room and replaced with a restroom. That's outrageous! The back room was SO MUCH FUN! Filled with dancing, vibrant sounds, the music of our people (I'm Dominican), and all around great vibes! Now, I don't even have the words to describe what I just witnessed. The back room is GONE. There's only one DJ playing house music which is NOT at all the vibe that has always been in there. I mean listen....everyone has their taste but Gloria's was a place for the people to hear and experience traditional old school merengue, bachata and salsa with dembow and reggaeton! I was shocked to see the changes which visually are appealing and nice upgrades but if the vibe isn't there... ‍ read more

Visited this lounge with my friends for happy hour .. The happy hour has drink specials for $6 : Lemon drops, sangria , margaritas, wine etc .. I ordered the red sangria which was good! They also have $6 appetizers as well which I wouldn't recommend their food . I ordered the shrimp tostones which were horrible . I had to send it back. My friend ordered the steak tostones and chicken tacos which were just okay. Therefore this spot is for drinks and vibes .. Our bartender Adam was great and attentive ! read more

Overall experience was a 5/10 Food was 7.5/10 - The birria tacos were good, cheese could have been more creamy. Drinks was 1/10 - Ordered a lemon drop and it's as if I got all vodka and a literal drop of lemon juice. Seems like the drink was rushed. Service was 2/10 - Our waiter could have been more attentive. Ambiance was 2.5/10 - Mostly Spanish music ... DJ not very inclusive, he played a little afro & r&b and that was for probably about 30 mins. Overall experience was ok. Would not be going back, mainly because it's not a space curated for anyone other than Hispanics. read more

Arrived just before 4pm and it was empty. Brought my gma with me. She loved the drinks and the ceviche. The ceviche was also my favorite, followed by the tacos. The empanadas were kinda dry. They had a full bar and I'd say the bartender was great at making the drinks. Hoping to go back later for some dancing. read more

I went to Gloria's for Happy Hour Menu on a Thursday. They had drinks and apps that varied from 6-7. The playlist for Happy hour was good vibes nice old school R&B. Our waiter was attentive and nice. We ordered the Al pastor tacos, mango Thai wings, bbq wings, tostones and pernil, empanadas. Loved the wings and tostones with pernil. it was good happy hour vibes! read more

This past weekend was my first time going to Gloria's and it's a hidden gem if you ask me. I was there during a time that was not too busy for a private event of a friend. From my experience, the food was fantastic and the libations were strong if you like them that way! I enjoyed the empanadas a great deal as well as some of the other delicacies friends ordered that I tasted. More importantly the staff was very attentive, warm and friendly. Monica and Sebastian were standouts at the bar and with service and did a great job ensuring we all felt comfortable. The music was on point and helped make the event feel festive!! I will definitely be making a return there since I am lover of Latin inspired cuisine. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. read more

I went to the women's room, as the biological woman that I am, and security starting banging on the door and harassing me and told me to use the mens room. I felt uncomfortable as I had just walked into the restaurant and a man was yelling at me through the door and banging on the door. It felt as though he was about to break in while I was using the bathroom. When I was done, I walked out and told him that I am in the right bathroom as I am a biological cisgender woman and he kept yelling at me to use the men's room. I showed him my driver's license where it says that I am a female, *BORN AS A FEMALE*, but he kept yelling at me to use the men's bathroom. This place is not friendly to those who are masculine presenting BIOLOGICAL women. I didn't argue with him and simply just did as he said. read more

This place is so disappointing. My husband and I used to order from here all the time. We always thought the food was decent and we consider ourselves loyal to the restaurants we frequent. We ordered through Uber eats and our food never came. Close to $90 never showed up. We contacted the restaurant and they told us they gave the food to the driver. The driver insisted they never got the food. My husband drove to the restaurant hoping to show them we never received the food and talk with the manager who described as curt and a bit rude. They had no interest in trying to help us out as loyal patrons and let us eat the $90 bill. We weren't hoping for a refund, just (even some of) the food we ordered, but they chose instead to lose our future business for that one order. Poor business choice. Haven't been back since, and have steered our friends and family away too. read more

Very loud (not in the good way) service was okay but drinks were terrible and watered down

We stopped in last night, after another event in the neighborhood. The location was close by. The waitress was very nice that helped us, and everything was reasonable. Our party ordered some beers, and a mojito. Being the designated driver I only got to indulge in a water. The bill was reasonable. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely stop in for a drink. read more

Is used to be one of my favorite spots but I got kick out last night, I barely drink 3 beers that night. Respectfully I'm going to say this, I think the owner was very drunk she had a crazy eye and a yelling for no reason but it's okay because I'll never go back again unless I get a apology from the owner read more

great spot! music & hookah is amazing! The only thing on weekends they charge to get in.

Music is good, food is always good. I wouldn't think this place had such good food but there food might be the best thing about them. They're drinks are great. It can get busy and they charge a cover after a certain time on the weekends. But the service is great! read more

Elite staff!! Amazing food and great experience every time. 10 out 10 service. 10 out 10 drinks. read more

Cool little spot! It's kinda tight in there but the music was pretty good hookah was cool and I don't remember the food

Very unprofessional and poorly ran. We called to make a reservation and were told that they don't take reservations for the back section. Cool- so we drive there to get a table since it's first come first serve. There were tables open throughout the bar and in the back and when we get inside we're told that all the empty tables are reserved and there wasn't anything available. When we were trying to get assistance the waitresses barely paid any mind to us and just brushed us off. Only recommend going here if you want to waste your time. read more

It is a loud place. They do make a lot of margaritas. Not much too-shelf. Just a cheap place to drink.

Ordered from Gloria's via UberEats and was highly disappointed. We ordered a Picada Combo with a few sides but were upset to see that we did not get exactly what we ordered. The Picada mentioned that it was for 3-4 people and was a mix of steak, chicken, sausage, and pork with peppers, onions and cassava. What arrive was mostly cassava with a few pieces of chicken and beef. Instead of the sides we asked for (house salad, maduros, and red beans) we got a bunch of sides - rice, a sad salad, tostones, maduros and black beans. It was nice to see the extra sides but they weren't what I asked for and it seems they were Included to make up for the lack of meat in the Picada. I definitely wouldn't recommend ordering from Gloria's. Although my main complaint was the order, the food quality wasn't that great. The meat could've been seasoned better and they could've used fresh vegetables for our salad instead of tomatoes just about ready to rot. read more

My wife and I went here after the YES event, with a fellow yelper and her friend for a drink. The bar it self was of average length, with tables on the other side of the room. We each had a drink, except my wife DD!! There was a back room with a pool table and an additional bar. A DJ was setting up with standing speakers the size of my bed, right in front of us. With fear of getting blown out onto the st and well I guess we of older age decided to call it a nite. If in the area we would go back. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Prices were average for a bar so no complaints there. They do serve food but of course since we just ate did not order anything. Street parking only but since it was right down the st from the event, same rules applied free after 6. read more

AWESOME PLACE! The food is amazing, the music is great, & the atmosphere is amazing!! I went for my friends birthday and it was such a good time. It's a latin bar & they had such a great mix of old school reggaeton with cool music from today. The security guard is awesome & funny!! Would definitely recommend!! read more

I had ordered from Uber Eats & what I got after a very long wait was raw chicken! I couldn't believe it, it was still what felt like it was frozen. I couldn't eat anything on the plate being scared that there was any cross contamination... I will never order from here again. This was unacceptable read more

Some friends and I went to Gloria's on Broad Street last night. We ordered the Picada, Tacos, Chicken Soup and Chicharrones. If you've never had Costa Rican food, you are missing out. There were decent-sized platters for great prices. The service was great and I was baffled by how many folks were NOT in there on a Friday night. Stop by if you are in the mood for good food and great music. read more

Came to Glorias as it was cinco. IG promoted 2 for 1 margs & $4 casamigos shots. Of course, we immediately came in for din & drinks. Come to find out the promotion on IG story was an "error"which the DJ was blamed for. Eventually, after my complaint, the price was honored. Then we closed our tab because our server was being moved to a different section of the restaurant. Start a new tab and order casamigos....."that's not on the promo." Asked to see the manager and she decided she couldn't show face so she just honored the price as well. Order another round, come to find out "happy hour is over" Hi helloooo, here's your IG promo *shows pic* Server consults with manager, "the special is over." I canceled my order and honestly not coming back. As someone who loves a good hole in the wall, this place is a SCAM. I don't mind paying but please don't promote false advertising. Sincerely, a never coming back customer. read more

Food was hot once delivered...but it wasn't what I expected. In the platter the empanadas had way to much dough. The tacos not seasoned... the quesadilla and chicken wings were good but the meat chunks was not well seasoned. I also ordered the ropa veija..that was amazing will definitely order that again. I did delivery through uber eats and it was great, came at the time it should. My only disappointment was the platter.. Will try again though! read more

If you are used to Peruvian ceviche with sweet potatoes, roasted corn, boiled corn and lime juice, this is not the place for you as least for ceviche. Mission Ceviche has set the bar for good ceviche for me and I was expecting something similar. When I ordered ceviche from here, I thought maybe other countries made their ceviches similarly to Peruvian ceviche. I didn't particularly like this ceviche. It just looked like tomatoes, peppers and seafood flowing in a tub full of lemon juice. I actually took a little bite of it and ended up throwing mine in the trash right after. The acidity of the lemon juice and tomatoes threw my tastebuds off from what I'm used to. I was disappointed to have wasted my money on that. I'm only giving two stars for being open late and how fast it was made. read more

Always a great time. Went for out nephews 21st birthday.. Played pool, danced and ate. The food was banging. Can't go wrong. I had a beef stew. It was so good can't go wrong. And my wife had a steak with onions, beans and rice.. Can't go wrong. They have buckets and beer stays on ice. They were gone quick..ice cold beer is the best. They also have great sangria white or red.The D.J. plays everything but majority Spanish from old school mixes to new. And you can recommend a song English or Spanish.. Atmosphere great Gloria always greets you with a smile. And always walks around and talks to everyone. Its comfortable. Can't go wrong with a night out at Gloria's bar. They also have a big menu definitely have to go by and eat some more from the menu. We will be going back soon for my wife's bday. The best part is the waiter and waitresses always walk around also and no need to wait at the bar the bar comes to you. Oh I almost forgot the patio. It is decorated outside and on a nice night like last night we had option and went back and forth with no problem. Will definitely recommend Gloria's bar to everyone. read more

This place has been here for years and I'm the first one to review it. lol. This little spot is pretty popular among costa rican crowd. The music is good, it varies from salsa, bachata, , rancheras, merengue, reggaeton and hip hop. The place is not small but it's also not a big place. When they have a full house, the body heats is noticeable. They serve food even late hours, which is awesome. It's not a spot to go to if your single and looking to hook up. Definitely bring your dancing partner or crowd of friends. The owner Gloria is super cool and also making sure eveyryone is being taken care off. read more

If your not Hispanic you are not welcome. My friends and I received dirty looks and poor service all night. Never coming back.

We were denied service on assumption of over intoxication. Clearly we aren't drunk r have been drinking. We just walked in. Would definitely not recommend. read more

If you want to have a crazy night dancing to some spanish music and dont feel like going to Newark or JC this is the spot..

Came here a few months back. Decided to sit outside for its smoking area. It was empty in the place at the time. Small dining in front when you walk in. The bar was pretty packed. They played music. Food was delicious. Pool table isn't leveled. However, we enjoyed our time while there. read more
