Gloria's... Hate it or Love it.

Ok so this review is going to be difficult since I’m reviewing another Dallas giant…Gloria’s(keep in mind that I am reviewing Gloria’s as a whole. If you want a specific location reviewed feel free to leave a comment).

                Gloria’s is a concept that fascinates me due to the fact that it is a mixture of Salvadorian and Tex-Mex foods. While it is a weird concept I must say Gloria’s pulled it off. From the moment you enter Gloria’s you feel a good vibe about the place. The hostesses smile, and everyone says hello and makes you feel welcome. As soon as you sit down there is a bus boy there to great you with not only chips and salsa, but also a tasty black bean dip and literally seconds later your server arrives to get your drinks going.

                While at Gloria’s you need to get alcohol in you. They do offer happy hour and both house margaritas(frozen or on the rocks) are four bucks. The house margaritas are not very good, tasting like cheap tequila and cheap sweet and sour but they will come back and kick your butt. Seriously, these margaritas are strong and for four bucks hit the spot. The mojitos here are not only refreshing but also strong and really good. The mojito is one of my favorite drinks of choice whenever I dine at a Gloria’s. Now, if you think you are a Big Kahuna and like              STRONG drinks the Great Gloria’s Meltdown or GGM is for you. It is 16oz of frozen house margarita, sangria, and grand marnier that tasted deliciously dangerous.
                Service is top notch about 75% of the time and the other 25% is understandable since it only happens at peak hours.

                The food at Gloria’s is decent at best. Enchiladas lack flavor, tacos are mediocre at best, and they use cheap  cuts of meat like flank and skirt steaks. Prices are moderately on the steep side for the quality of the food they provide but you are paying for the  ambience after all. If you are here for dinner and not just for drinks or to hang out, then I highly recommend the quail. You get two quails and some fried plantain with sweet cream with it that tastes awesome. Also the shrimp cocktail is delicious here.  If you want to try something traditional from El Salvador, try the popusas(gordita style with cheese inside or pork and cheese). They are priced at a dollar fifty per and the servers might look at you as a cheap ass but trust me they are good.

                Well ya’ll, hope you enjoyed this review and you go and try Gloria’s. Remember GGM, Mojito, pupusas, and quail. Your welcome.
