My partner and I get breakfast burritos when we have a hankering. We get chorizo, potatoes, eggs, then burritos are big, and have a lot of flavor. This is a cute lil mom and pop spot, and is closed first Sunday of every month. No BS service, you can rely on them for a consistent meal. read more

Nothing special. I ordered enchiladas and wasn't a fan. Disappointed that it was ground beef. I do not recommend.

Best Mexican food in my opinion! Been coming here for many years with my parents and my kids never been disappointed! Very small little place, food is excellent! read more

Food: Awesome chorizo breakfast burrito. Authentic, not all the silly hash brown games these white-washed places like doing. I will be coming back to Gloria's. I absolutely despise Rose's Cafe down the street, Service: great. Ambiance: feels lowkey and out of the way. Not a bad thing. Very chill spot. read more

I've purchased food from them for several years now, and their food has always been good quality and delicious. Never over seasoned, well made and authentic. Their chile verde and albondigas are great! read more

A great place, wonderful traditional shredded beef burrito ... made like their was no such thing as the Chipotle... I like them too but 40 choices is a bit excessive for one burrito... (sorry I digress)... Gloria's is clean, fast, friendly, and the food was very good. It has 8 tables located in a strip mall, one table with a big window. We went early on a Friday, it was slow, quiet- no dinner rush yet. Burritos- The beef was tender, sauce was really good. The perfect amount of rice, beans, sauce, lettuce, cream & guac. It was not Full of sour cream, brown rice, cheese, jalapeños, ghost peppers but rather a lovely traditional burrito. Thanks, I loved it. read more

It's our go to date night spot. The proprietor is very friendly and has a wonderful selection of authentic Mexican cuisine. I can't believe it's not more popular than it is. Truly a remarkable place. read more

We came here for a late lunch. I figured i have to try the Gloria burrito since they claimed to have the best burrito in town. I had the chili verde Gloria burrito. It came with a green sauce. Food is ok but nothing to write home about. My 3 other dining companions were also of the same opinion. I also had a horchata. That was pretty expensive for $7. read more

Mom and pop place that has hard working staff. You can't beat a Gloria's burrito or anything on the menu. But the Gloria's burrito is the star here. Staff wants to get you out asap, but they do warm up after you visit a dozen times or so. The place is functional for the 5 minutes you are there, nothing fancy, but that would be a waste of fancy at Gloria's. I love the food and never hesitate to get anything on the menu. read more

A place to eat great food! Enjoy a classic burrito, enchiladas, tacos and more. Get it made the way you want- prepared just as requested. Tender meat, great sauce, feels like it was Abuela's recipe! Good food, large portions, made fresh for You. Lots of TO-GO orders, or stay here, this restaurant has several tables and is clean and well-kept. Good service, friendly place. read more

I came here once as I grew up in this neighborhood 40 years ago. It's a small, odd restaurant that serves both doughnuts and Mexican food. I opted for the carne asada breakfast burrito and boy was I surprised. It was literally the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Was it a farce? I plan on finding out real soon as I will try it again the next time I'm in the neighborhood I can't wait read more

Very good wet burrito. Price was fair as well. I would recommend. Ambiance was nothing fancy, pretty casual.

Solid burritos with a humble mom-n-pop vibe. Came here for the first time with 2 friends, and we got 2 chicken burritos and 1 carne asada burrito. We got complimentary chips and salsa - the chips were thick and crunchy and the salsa had quite a kick! The burritos were tasty and filling, but I think I would've preferred roasted chicken like I've had at other places compared to the shredded chicken they serve here. It was tender but didn't have much flavor on its own. It was pretty quiet - we were the only ones dining in, but a few people came in for takeout orders while we were there. Overall it feels like a solid local spot but not something I'd go far out of my way for. read more

19$ and some change for 2 enchiladas, rice and beans to go. Waiter did not attach my receipt.. My Contactless payment says pending....? The food was descent but the tortillas were doughy. read more

I've drove by here several times in my lifetime and never noticed this little joint. It's definitely a small hole on the wall type of restaurant. I decided to see what was around here since I'm currently waiting for my tattoo artist to let me know he's ready to see me, and walked (came) across this place. I ordered the birria tacos w/carne de res with a side of consomé, a refreshing Squirt, and received a complimentary side of chips and salsa... let me just say that they had a sign that stated they weren't giving them out anymore! The plating presentation looked great. I was excited when I saw the color of the consomé! Some places tend to not put spices which makes it look like it's lacking something/flavor! I totally recommend this dish. The meat was perfect in texture and flavor, as well as the consomé. I wasn't a big fan of the tortillas, given that they were already soft/soggy when I received my plate. They could have warmed it up a bit longer, on the toastier side... my opinion. Clearly can ask that next time as well. I didn't like the cheese on top of the tacos, but it wasn't a big deal nor a deal breaker. Chips were great and the salsa was perfectly spicy. The gentleman helping was really nice and helpful. Totally a ma and pa restaurant. Dined in and they were very kind and checked on me. Overal, I give this place four stars for the customer service, experience, and the food/drink. I would definitely come back and try something new! Gracias! read more

My friend placed a takeout order for our party of 7. A couple of people in our party had specific dietary needs (i.e. vegan and vegetarian/gluten-free). We had a pretty complicated phone order, but Gloria's Burritos assured us that they were able to make the proper modifications and accommodations with no problems. I tagged along with my friend for the pickup. Gloria's Burritos was a small mom's and pop's restaurant in the Maple Leaf Plaza off Saratoga Ave. I could see that the place was clean. Customers dining-in were loving their food, which all looked great. When we arrived about 18 min. after placing the phone order, the food was ready to go. My friend went through the list of food with the cashier, but my friend realized that she forgot to mention one of the burritos. The kitchen promptly made the forgotten burrito, which was no more than a 5-7 min wait. I tend to feel wary about large, complex phone orders. Something about the order has gone wrong from my experience like an item missing or an ingredient that was supposed to be removed. I was pretty impressed that every single order in our party was done accurately. I ordered the wet burrito al pastor with everything in it. I definitely got the best bang for my buck. The burrito was f'ing huge for $7.80, and I loved it. The al pastor was very flavorful, tender, and cooked well. I liked the ingredients inside my wet burrito. I especially enjoyed the sauteed onions, because they brought a touch of sweetness. In addition to the red sauce, there were guac and sour cream attributing to the wetness. Gloria's Burrito's hot sauce wasn't particularly spicy in my opinion, but I topped my wet burrito with it anyway for another layer of unique flavor. read more

Absolutely love this lil gem! I recently moved to the area and haven't been able to find a decent Mexican restaurant until now! Love this place! read more

When you walk in the restaurant you sense that this is not going to be good Why because you can't even find the place to order Had super burrito that was very plain Oy read more

Wonderful place! I love the food, the portions are awesome for the price, and the man who works there (I believe he is the owner?) Is so nice! The food is out in minutes and it's very good!! I come here all the time. The restaurant area is small, though it's not packed or dingy-looking, it's more of a pick-up place, though sitting inside when it's hot outside feels so good! Haha. Anyway, I would highly recommend Gloria's, as It's one of the best areas for more affordable eating with larger portions. Love them! read more

This place gets looked over far too much and the family that runs it gives huge portions for an affordable price with an authentic flavor. Only reason I see someone downrating this estabilishment because its small and not that decorated. But come here for a great meal and no BS. read more

This was my first time at Gloria's as I pass by it by everyday to and from work. Hungry as heck I decided on the Chili Colorado plate. There was a decent amount of food for your buck. But for me it wasn't about the price as much as it was about quality. Quality is top priority here as the result of the food I had. Its crazy because the locals I ran into inside don't even live on this side of town. Everyone inside Gloria's was quick to gab about the spot. Without over stepping the place was packed and not one person was Hispanic except myself. The loyalty here is real as there was a line outside from Caucasian to Middle Eastern. Anywho the food was great. I actually went back today for the same thing after yesterday's initial visit because it became a craving...I never crave Mexican food on consecutive days as I'm a Asian food fan. The meat was simmered perfectly but had a familiar taste to it. I want to say they use maize as a roux for the Chili Colorado. The beans are exceptional and the rice is as basic a Spanish rice can get but the flavors of its surrounding cast carry it. I'm glad I pulled the trigger as I will be a norm here. This place is a PERFECT example that hole in the walls are alive and still thriving giving us some of the best eats. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu! read more

To be perfectly transparent, I've only ordered one thing from the menu but I've ordered it a lot. The chorizo breakfast burrito is legit!! The salsa they provide with it is absolutely perfect and compliments it so well, but the burrito itself doesn't need it if spice isn't your thing. I usually call my order on 10 minutes beforehand and when I arrive it's either almost ready or just came out of the kitchen. Did I mention they serve them all day long? Yeah, this place is rad. read more

Best chicken taco salad! A hidden gem among the hustle bustle of the area. Reminds me of a native America Indian taco.

Fish tacos were yummy and nacho fries was so cheesy. I didn't like the carnitas meat tho just wasn't tender enough to recommended. I only tried 3 things so hope it helps read more

I highly recommend this Mexican food restaurant. I enjoy their nachos and their burrito bowls. I do think they are overpriced for the quantity of food but not enough for me to remove a star. The quality however is excellent. I wish they would offer a coupon card (i.e. buy 10, get 1 free) And giftcards. Despite the 75 cent credit card charge, I continue to go here and play with card. read more

Hair in the burrito! We ordered a burrito and a verde dinner to go. We came across 2 long hairs in the burrito (damn). The verde was not edible since it was SO over cooked and dry. Ended up throwing the dinner away...$36 with a tip. read more

I live close and finally went to try as the owners next store raved about Gloria!s. But I just got the shrimp enchiladas through Door Dssh and literally the totillas are like dough. Really gross. Flavor great just massively undercooked which makes me nervous as I did eat some shrimp. I called to complain but the person answering spoke mostly Spanish so we didn't get far and I totally understand- just please deliver a product worth eating. It was like $19 and I'll give it to my dog. Boo!!!! read more
