Arrived during happy hour. Great prizes and drinks are delish. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Food is delicious and portions are big. We left very satisfied and belly’s full. The ambiance was great, too! We sat in the bar area and that filled up pretty quickly.

We had our staff Xmas party here and it was great. Their chips and salsa were great, we had the flavorful green salsa. We went during happy hour and I had the chorinachos 10/10. Other people had the spicy wings 7/10 and other items. Their mango chamoy margarita was good 8/10, you didn’t taste the tequila at all. Good for people who do not like tequila and want to drink. Our party arrived at 4 and left at 10:30pm. People were dancing, there was live music, lots of drinking and it was great. Only recommendation is that they lower a bit the music that way we can also talk amongst ourselves when there is no live music happening. The waiters were super friendly. I will definitely go back and try their molcajete.

Their buche tacos are amazing, simple and delicious, cooked perfectly tender not chewy. The menudo was also pretty good. And the mojarra plate was good too, crunchy fish, tasty rice and beans. But the co*cktail sampler was about $30-35, but full size drinks. Be prepared to share, unless of course you drink that much. And the waitier made sure we had what we needed, and checked on us, cleared our plates appropriately...

Reviews

Gloria's Cocina Mexicana is a vibrant and welcoming restaurant known for its delicious food, generous portions, friendly staff, and great ambiance. Reviewers rave about the authentic Mexican flavors in dishes like buche tacos and mojarra plate. The co*cktail sampler offers full-size drinks but can be shared due to its size. The patio area provides a nice outdoor space while inside there is live music, a dance club in the back, and a lively atmosphere with good music. Customers appreciate the reasonable prices, happy hour specials from 2-7 pm daily, and extensive tequila selection. Despite some service delays during busy times or large parties, guests enjoy the unique motif of traditionally Mexican decor without being overly themed.

The food tastes so authentic Mexican, it makes you drool. I ordered two chicken tacos, and they were pretty large and well stuffed with chicken. Definitely got your money's worth. The service was also excellent. Of course like any good Mexican restaurant, you get served chips and salsa soon as you sit down.

this place is so great it never fails from the waiters, food, drinks and ambiance. I love it here
