    Great dinning experience.... Go! Now that's out of the way,let me explain. Over 35 years ago,I ate several times at Gloria's original Salvadoran Cafe in Oak Cliff She worked for her sister but her sister wanted out, so Gloria bought it. The rest is history. After expanding all over Dallas, Gloria is now in all major Texas cities. A true American success story. I'll admit,for a long time I wasn't a fan. Her cooking at the little 6 table cafe was home style Salvadoran exquisitely prepared with love. I understand developing a large commercial success required sacrifice. I still miss it . The 2025 menu incarnation has something for everyone. Even me. I was happy and won't hesitate to drop in to locations around Texas. You should too. Go!

    Great spot in Fairview for Latin Cuisine. Great menu options, there is definitely something for everyone, drinks are pricey, but overall a great spot for dinner.

    We came here again for lunch on July 4th, and our visit went well as always. The food was great as well as the service. We will definitely be back.

    Very mixed experience, with very good conscientious table service but very mediocre food. Gloria's is a chain of Latin Cuisine restaurants found throughout Texas, focusing on Salvadorian and Tex-Mex cuisine. Founded in 1986, it has since expanded to 23 restaurants. I've been to this location of Gloria's a couple of times before (once for a work function and another just by myself), with great experiences, especially remembering their complementary bean dip, value prices, and good service. So when visitors wanted to try Tex-Mex during their Texas stay, I suggested the nearby Gloria's. I made the mistake of not making a reservation for our group of seven, and once we got there, there was a line out the door. Strangely, it didn't appear that busy inside (thinking they do a good job of keeping the inside bustle away from the bar/front of house area). We were quoted a 20 minute wait for our large group if willing to sit outside, and sure enough in 20 minutes we were seated. We were given complementary chips with bean dip and two salsas. They were addicting. Our server, Valeria, was super attentive throughout, making sure our water glasses were constantly full, chips refilled, and providing any non-food items that we needed. She suggested guacamole ($7 for small) and con queso ($7) as apps. These came out quickly, and I found them to be quite good. We then placed our order. The food took a LONG time to come out, and thus because we filled up on chips and the good salsa while we waited, really affected our appetite. The food had been plated at different times, but only brought out together once the last dish was ready...which caused the dreaded waxy film over food...expected in buffet platters...not individually plated dishes. And even then, it just wasn't prepared well: with the enchilada sauce not being flavorful, the chicken in the dishes being very dry or overcooked, the fajita vegetables being prepared too thickly and not cooked through. My mom did enjoy her Mariscada ($24 for seafood soup) and I enjoyed my Ceviche Trio appetizer ($16)...I was the only one in my party who loves raw seafood. But in terms of the plated dishes: Chile Relleno ($16), skirt steak fajitas ($22), Enchiladas a la Gloria ($18), and chicken & steak fajitas for two ($29), nobody really said anything about the food while sampling, which is a bad sign. I did touch base with one of them after, and he gave me his feedback about the dryness and lack of taste (though he did mention that he really liked the refried beans). Most of the food was left over, and to go boxes were provided. In summary, the kitchen just wasn't very good this time around in both how they prepared the dishes and how it was sent out to us. It was definitely an off night for them, and unfortunate for us (though lucky for me since the price would have been twice as much if in California).

    Chicken tortilla soup, toppings, and chips and salsa.

    Me and the wife went for some soup yesterday since it was chilly outside. We both git a small bowl of chicken tortilla soup. She got coffee while I got the frozen house Margarita. Soup was excellent as well as the margarita and chips, salsas and bean dip.

    Gloria's is a great spot to have a couple of drinks and good food. I loved this location, it felt more upscale than others I've visited. Service was great and food came out quickly! I really like their pupusas but we opted for a different appetizer- the queso fundido. It was made into tacos for us table-side so that was a nice touch! I highly recommend the lechon asado here. I tried the salmon on my most recent visit and was pleased, my boyfriend opted for the steak (per usual) and it was really good, too.

    Great place, great service, and great food!! I've been enjoying Gloria's since moving to Fairview 17 years ago! This place is consistently full and in a great location. My favorite the last few years has been the Serrano Garlic Salmon!! SO DELICIOUS!!

    No draft but bottles come with a chilled glass

    As a vegetarian, finding good Latin food is actually surprisingly difficult. And unfortunately, my experience at Gloria's was no exception. The service and ambiance were excellent. My server Leonardo was very knowledgeable about the foods and helped me figure out what I could and couldn't eat. However, most of their foods fell into that second category. The rice and beans use chicken stock so that left me with entrees with no side dishes or a vegetarian black bean soup. I chose the soup and to fill up on the chips and salsa. The food was delicious. The chips and salsa were great and the black bean soup was very savory and not too salty. They don't have draft beer but they brought out the bottle with a chilled glass which was a nice touch. I could take off a star for the lack of vegetarian options but the cost was fairly reasonable for a restaurant of this caliber and the service really was great. Vegetarians may not be fully satisfied but for everyone else this place is well worth trying.

    Carne asada comes with beans, yucca, plantains, and gremolata.

    Astonishingly good food. Half the menu is tex-mex things done unusually well, and the other half is Salvadorian food like I've never had before. I love everything I've tasted so far.

    My husband chose Gloria's for his birthday and we were so happy to have been sat in a quiet section of the restaurant away from everyone else. Our waitress was very fast, stayed on top of all the drink refills and paid attention to everything we asked directly and indirectly. We've eaten here before and we know the food was good, so that goes without saying. I was just incredibly impressed with our experience last night and wanted to give a shout out to Gloria's for always meeting and exceeding our expectations

    Prickly Pear Margarita

    I stopped by Gloria's for a night cap and sat at the bar and ordered this scrumptious seasonal margarita. It was perfect! Not too strong or sweet. The bartender was energetic and provided amazing customer service! I'll be back for drinks && food!

    Half filled salsa order for $12.

    I'll be honest,, it's pretty hard to impress me with Mexican food. I was raised in California,…read morewhere I had had neighbors, whose parents and grandparents made some of the best food I've ever had in my life. Living in Texas I've seen some good and I've seen some not so great so I never really get enthused because nothing ever really stands out. Lupe tortilla; right here in Allen, was a difference maker. When I walked in, I could smell the difference. We were greeted immediately, and the service was impeccable, our server was attentive and explained any questions we had on the menu and made suggestions, but was not too intrusive. I think right now is a great time to mention how delicious the salsa was, you get chips, salsa, and a little container of pinto beans with something in them that I can't explain other than magic. I was fearful that I might stuff myself to content before my meal was ordered. My friend has been here before and order the fajitas, I typically ordered enchiladas my first time at any Mexican restaurant just to gauge where they stand. We both had big gigantic margaritas as well, and they did not disappoint. The food was delicious, I couldn't stop staring at my friend fajitas either, which looked as though they could feed a family. The feel there is very relaxed and family oriented, so I was able to have a great seat and have a great conversation with a friend in a very relaxing clean location that had great service. I have to say as of today, this is my number one spot for Mexican food in Allen easily and can't wait to bring my family here.. go figure, today after Cinco de Mayo and I've changed my Allen traditions.

We were looking for a good taqueria in Allen and found it here. This is a cozy place with about 10+ tables, playing Mexican music videos, etc. (but not loud enough to interfere with conversation). To try things out, we ordered their grilled cebolla/jalapeño combo, and 4 tacos -pastor, chorizo, barbacoa, & lengua (see photos). These are Mexican Street taco style with 2 corn tortillas. I tried the pastor, chorizo & barbacoa - they were all excellent! Served with onion, cilantro, lime slices and radish slices. Very high quality! I would be happy to eat any of them again, but would probably quadruple down on the pastor because it was just great (and I am a pastor fan - I am still in search of the El Tizoncito style al pastor tacos that you can find in DF, but until I do, these will keep me happy). While I can eat lengua (if I can't find pastor), but my wife is a connoisseur and she liked them (and messaged a friend about them). The Cebolla asados with jalapeños were amazing and an incredible value at ~ $2. We had no chance to try La Sirena (paleteria y fruteria), but it looked very promising. We will be back to try their breakfast offerings. We feel quite fortunate to have found this place.
