I am in Dallas for work this week and I met up with a friend here tonight for dinner. I scoped out the menu on Yelp ahead of time and I knew I wanted some variety of steak dish. My friend suggested splitting a dish or two so we split the pupusas - there is an El Salvadoran restaurant I used to live by that does great pupusas so I was curious to compare. These were very good, and for $14, they could certainly be a meal. My friend got the tropical salad with shrimp and I got the Carne Asada. The chimichurri sauce was delicious and so was the steak. I'm not a huge fan of beans so I didn't eat those. Even though I did like the pupusas, I would say the steak was the star of the meal for me. For dessert, I ordered the Quatro Leches cake because I'm a huge fan of Tres Leches. This was good, but too sweet, my friend pointed out that there was some sort of frosting or something on top - maybe the fourth leche? - which made it sweeter. There were also pecans on top, which was interesting. I'm not sure I would order this dessert again here. I also got some sort of tropical drink, which was really good and my friend got the house Mojito, which at $12 is nicely priced I feel like. Overall, this place was pretty good and I would come back here, my friend did mention it's a chain, but I think it only has a few locations, including Dallas. Be aware that the entrance is on the opposite side of the road, and they also have a pretty nice patio, which is where we sat for dinner - a treat for me to dine outside in 65° weather in February, since I live in Michigan! read more

Gloria's was an easy pick for a Friday night. This location sits among a lot of other dining options, but it's a reliable go-to since I've visited other locations before. There's a nearby parking garage, which makes it very convenient. I had no problem grabbing a seat at the bar and ordered the nachos and a sangria. The sangria was well balanced--not overly strong like some of their other drinks, but not too sweet either, which I really appreciated. The nachos were a solid choice as always and didn't disappoint this time around. Service was great throughout the visit, making it an overall dependable and enjoyable spot. read more

I had lunch with a colleague on Thursday, 5/28. He had the Ceviche Tostadas, and I had the Tropical Salad (minus the strawberries with Ranch Dressing). DELICIOUS! This was one of the best salads I have ever had! FANTASTIC!!! Our server, AM, was great! read more

My chicken enchiladas were very tasty. The black bean dip is awesome! The queso is very good too. Not too loud so you can hear each other speak, which is nice. Our server was very attentive ensuring if we needed anything and frequently filled out drinks. A very enjoyable experience. read more

Lunch date for a friend's birthday. Appetizer salsa and ceviche were great! Drinks were strong enough and service felt like VIP. Best chicken quesadilla I've had so far here in Texas. Don't trust me, try it!! Sorry no pics, I had to soak in this experience! Loved it! read more

This is always a great location to come to. I came on a Saturday for brunch with my friends. I got shrimp enchiladas with sour cream sauce and a mango margarita. The service was friendly and quick. We sat on the patio so it was easy to have a good conversation. It wasn't to busy at the time. read more

My go to spot when I want good margaritas and good mex inspired food. Although today I got one of my favorite soups, the mariscada. It's seafood soup made with shrimp, scallops, red snapper, mussels, lobster tail and vegetables. Absolutely delicious and a perfect dinner choice as DFW continues to defrost from the winter storm. No happy hour here like the other locations which was a bummer. read more

The team made reservation for a team dinner and it was ok. This is more of a 3.5 star review We started w a few Appetisers which were pretty mediocre - some guac, papussas, nothing too exciting . However my main course was very good (4.1/5) - I got the red snapper and it was cooked to perfection : crispy and very rich. I also tried an old fashioned which was not great. I am probably going to try different places next time read more

Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a nice happy hour!

We had the yuca Salvadoran which was amazing. The Tamales were undercooked. The rest of the items lived up to the Gloria's reputation. Our server was great and food was served in an orderly and timely fashion. Jesse would even come and tell us about how much longer in minutes before the food will be served. The tables were neatly laid out and the ambience was pretty good. read more

Came here for my last team lunch yesterday. Haven't been to Glorias in a while so I was happy to be back. Service was decent here. There was some language barriers but our waitress was nice and was doing her best. I ordered the carne asada because I was craving chimichurri sauce. It was decent steak. I wasn't mad at it. The rice is good but it has corn and peas in it. I would prefer it without. I did want to order the pupusas and I should've because they are always good and hot and fresh. I had a good time overall and the queso we ordered was good and spicy. Had lots of jalapeños in it but I liked it. read more

The sun was punching its clock out over 320 West Las Colinas Blvd, bleeding pink and orange across a sky that looked too pretty for business-travel loneliness. Irving was quiet, quiet enough that the hum of my rolling suitcase sounded like a confession I didn't mean to make. I wasn't looking for trouble, just a good meal and a reason to believe the road isn't all fluorescent lights and expense reports. That's when I saw it: Gloria's Latin Cuisine, glowing like a promise in the twilight. The outdoor tables that didn't just beckon, they summoned. On a night like that, sitting inside would've been a crime. I took a seat beneath the open sky, where the world felt briefly, delightfully small. First came the chips, crisp enough to make the angels jealous, paired with salsas that carried heat and tang like they had somewhere better to be but chose to linger anyway. One bite and I knew I was in the right kind of trouble. A margarita was next, cold, bright, and balanced. Not the sugary knock-offs that taste like regret and cheap tequila. This was the real deal. A glass that whispered, "Kid, the night might just break your way." The steak fajita burrito arrived, sleek, confident, a real operator. The steak tender and smoky, the fillings tucked in tight like hush-money in a manila envelope. It had a cheese sauce accomplice, golden, velvety, the kind of smooth talker that could get a guy to sign away his better judgment. It didn't overwhelm, it elevated, coating each bite like a silk glove over brass knuckles. I could've walked out then, but fate wasn't done. A chocolate turtle brownie arrived, rich and decadent enough to make a grown businessman consider a second life in pastry. Warm, gooey, shameless. I didn't stand a chance. When I stepped back out into the cooling Texas dusk, the streets were still empty, but I wasn't. Gloria's hadn't just fed me. It cracked the hard shell of another road-weary evening and filled it with something like joy. If you're drifting through Irving, chasing deadlines and airport gates, do yourself a favor. Find Gloria's. Order bold. Stay a while. Some places remind you you're alive. This one makes you glad about it. read more

I really enjoyed this place! The people are friendly and very attentive!! The interior is so nice and classy with nice lighting. We came in time for brunch and we ordered bloody Mary's to start and they were some of the best I've ever had! My husband and I ordered the Ceviche Trio for our appetizer and it was superb. Hubby ordered the Mariscada which is a seafood soup, I ordered the Migas and let me tell you that both these menu items were delicious! I really, really like this place and we'll be back soon!! read more

The prompt and respectful response from the restaurant manager was unusual, unexpected, and much appreciated. So few restaurants bother to read criticism, and those that respond do so with a copy and paste message that shows they don't read the content of reviews, they ask for higher stars without changing or improving, and they add insult by telling the reviewer to contact them for further discussion. No further discussion is needed with a fair and honest review, and there's never a need to insult a customer for an honest opinion. By contrast this restaurant responded to my mild criticism by taking into consideration my opinion, which should be obviously not the majority opinion, so there was actually no need to even consider my rating. So, don't listen to what I thought of the food, instead, consider how well run this place is. read more

My third visit to this location. They were super busy tonight. I was annoyed that i called and asked if a reservation was needed but when i got there an hour later it was a 20 min minimum wait. I also don't understand how one small margarita costs $12 but my entree of 3 enchiladas plus rice and beans is $15. I know alcohol is expensive...it just doesnt make sense to me. It was loud even outside and the service was ok. read more

Holy cow the food at this place is amazing! The margarita was very strong and super delicious. The guacamole was fantastic, and I particularly enjoyed the green salsa as well. The black bean dip is also very good, but I would skip the red salsa. The hero here is definitely the Carne Asada! It was absolutely delicious. Service was excellent and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend. read more

Me and a friend came here for brunch. FYI they have parking whereas the first 2 hours are free. The brunch menu is limited but has some good options. The orange roughy ceviche was really good and fresh. My first time having roughy in a ceviche. Also very nice presentation. The food came out fast and fresh. Our service was normal. The only downside was it was sometimes hard communicating with our waiter but we got it after a while. Overall decent food. read more

This was the worse experience and the most over priced Mexican food, we normally go to the southlake location which is awesome it's clean the food is hot and always delicious. We wanted to try a different location, big mistake they sat us on the patio right next to the trash cans, and the tables and chairs were covered in bird poop it was a loud and obnoxious environment, and to top it off our food arrived lukewarm like it had been sitting out for awhile and the steak was so well-done it tasted like rubber, we'll never be coming back to this location, what a waste of money!! I don't recommend visiting this Location, I'll stick with the Gloria's in southlake. read more

We've been here twice since moving to Irving and the food here is amazing! I will note, the servers we get can be a hit or miss, the first time we visited our server was AMAZING! but the second time she just seemed like she didn't want to be there at all and had some other weird incidences where she was a bit rude. I wish I could remember the name of our first server so I could properly compliment her. the ambiance is amazing, it seems clean, it's not too noisy, and the place is beautiful definitely one of my favorite tex-mex places i've ever been to read more

My family was hungry so we walked here from our nearby hotel. The place is not related to Gloria Estefan but another Gloria and was modern, hip, dimly lit with nice Latin music playing. The server was very nice. I was still full from lunch earlier today so just had the tres leches dessert which was excellent. Others had the ceviche chimichurry salad and chicken fajitas which were savory and flavorful. read more

Good food, great service and cool vibe. Came in on a Friday night and the wait wasn't long. They said 25 mins but it ended up being 10. Good live music out back in the courtyard while we waited. Server was really nice and attentive. We ordered the trio ceviche and the garlic siracha salmon as an entre. Both were really good. Also the drinks, we had a couple of the signature drinks and they were all good. Don't think you could go wrong. We ordered the kids burrito for our kids. They come with just the meat and cheese. My kids (5 and 2) have pretty advanced palettes and hated them. We returned them and got the burritos from the regular menu. We had a little back and forth with the staff because the order kept getting mixed up but we got it resolved and the staff was very accommodating. Bottom line, If your kids prefer simple, the kids menu is perfect but if your kids like flava, head to the regular menu. Overall great experience. Would come here again. read more

"I recently visited Gloria's Latin Cuisine, and while I visited out of town the food was absolutely amazing--promptly served and delicious--the service fell short of expectations. Although the complimentary chips and salsa were excellent, we were not offered water upon being seated. Additionally, the waitress did not return to refill our drinks or check if we wanted another cocktail or anything else during our meal. This lack of attentiveness detracted from an otherwise great dining experience." Service could improve . read more

We stopped in here for dinner before going to a concert at Toyota music factory. There was an event going on outside but the inside wasn't too busy when we arrived. We were immediately served warm chips and salsa as well as a bean dip. The food was tasty and all had good flavor! Our waitress was interesting... she spoke super softly the whole time and it was hard to hear what she was saying but that didn't affect our overall experience. The manager came back at one point to say hello and check on everything which was nice. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Gloria's and would return again! read more

The ambiance is really nice, and service is great. This was my first time coming here and since this is a chain I did not have high expectations. The service was also great. The waiter was attentive and friendly. I'm only giving 3 starts because the food (main reason for coming here) was just okay. Mediocre at best. I asked for the jalepenos and lettuce on the side, or else it would have just been sour cream and guacamole, with nothing else inside the quesadilla except the brisket and cheese. I def felt like it was missing more. Onions and pico de gallo would have complemented this, and the the tortilla was a bit drier than I am used to. I kept using the salsa (not pictured) to dip it in. Overall it was a good experience but I would like probably just come back for drinks. read more

Came here while staying in the area. Nice elegant Latin restaurant. Was properly greeted and seated. Our server was on point. The chips crisp, we loved the bean dip, salsa was delicious and the guacamole dip was great. Wife had the breakfast tacos which she enjoyed except too many onions for her. I had the Tex-mex combination dinner which has chicken enchilada with red sauce. The chicken inside was dry wish they would marinated in sauce, not much sauce on top as well. Beef fajita taco - meat was tender and flavored well. Crispy beef taco was good. Overall I think we enjoy the chips with salsa and bean dip.
