Gloria's Cocina Mexicana

Love this place! There are two different dining spaces, live Mariachi side and the bar and dance floor side. We prefer the Mariachi side because my husband and I love to conversate with each other during dinner but the bar side is very fun and lively. We've sat in both. I wouùld say just trying the entire menu. Most likely you won't be disappointed. Hoping this restaurant stay open for a very very long time.

Went there for our work Christmas party. Service was great! Chips and salsa, perfect! I had taquitos and they were very tasty and crunchy how I like them. Everybody had good things to say about their own food. I think I had a Chamoy Margarita and it was the best. I don't remember if that's what it was called, not that I don't remember drinking it! 🤣 Definitely recommend. I wish I lived closer.

Loved the food here, phone service doesn’t work to well here, & I wish they had a better way to connect to the WiFi. I also like the pro pics they sell around $20-$30

My husband and I had a wonderful Easter Sunday at Gloria’s Cocina Mexicana on Euclid Ave! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a festive celebration. We started with some delicious tacos that were packed with flavor and topped generously with fresh ingredients. The enchiladas were equally delightful, smothered in rich sauce and accompanied by perfectly cooked rice and beans. For a sweet ending, we couldn’t resist the dessert! The fried ice cream was a showstopper—crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, topped with whipped cream and a cherry. It was the perfect way to finish our meal. The service was friendly and attentive, making our experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be returning for more authentic Mexican cuisine! Highly recommend Gloria’s for a delightful dining experience!

We had such a great experience at Gloria’s! Our waitress was super friendly and attentive, and everything we ordered was delicious. We tried the ribeye steak, fried octopus appetizer, and the carne asada — all cooked perfectly. The strawberry daiquiri was amazing! At checkout, they even asked how our meal was and invited us to come back for their happy hours and mariachi nights. They also offer free family photos, which is such a thoughtful touch. From where we sat, we could see into the kitchen, and it was spotless and well-organized, a great sign. We’ll definitely be back!

When we went after the Christmas parade, my girlfriend and I had a fantastic time. The Dj, who is usually in another room, was in the bar playing a good variety of music, however it was hard to talk. The server was attentive and had a good personality, the drinks are BIG but good and the fish I had was fresh. They also had security there to make sure nothing got out of hand and the atmosphere was upbeat. Will definitely revisit.

Location is perfect. Around everything. Parking good too. Atmosphere was good. Servoce was amazing. My caldo de pescado was good. Daughter loved her siete mares. Tequila was a bit pricey. But oh well. Clean. Spacious. Serving size good.

Came here for a private event and had an amazing time. The atmosphere was great to watch a sporting event. Massive TVs and good food.

I am a new mom of a two month old and all I have been craving is beef vegetable soup. My mom was out of town and I'm very picky on getting soup from restaurants. I actually thought I ordered from a different spot and glad I made the mistake. My biggest crave when it comes to beef vegetable soup is asking the restaurant to add CABBAGE. Simple right? Most places won't do it but I was so surprised to not only see this place did but a huge piece! I wished I would have taken a picture of it but I did call the place and I think I spoke to someone name Sophia and asked her to thank the chef in putting in my request. Going through postpartum can be difficult so for someone to add what they might think is small, might mean something big for others. I'm a couple weeks late in making this review but I wanted to put in my experience. Definitely will be ordering again!

Our first time visiting Glorias on Sunday and we had Cristina as our server. excellent service and made sure we had everything on the table. We cant wait to come back!

Maria was so welcoming with a beautiful, warm smile. I enjoyed her & her service very much. This place has ample seating, a fun bar area and yummy food. Quickly becoming one of my faves, and I have high standards.

Decided to stop in to check the difference... Mojarra Frita with arroz y frijoles was a delight. Deep fried, crispy skin, good flavor just could use a bit of good salt. (I hate the use of iodized salts in restaurants) Pozole is always a go to as well as menudo but it's only offered on weekends. Flavorful, always with extra cebolla, and make sure to ask for the extra hot salsas they have for the added kick. My service was quick, attentive even with a big party next to me. They accommodated my child and was friendly. Friday, they had mariachi band walking around as well as a photo person taking pics with a free post card and others to buy on the side if you wanted to keep memories. Also ordered some Paloma's... im on the hunt for the classic without needing to alter them at all. In Mexico it's tequila, squirt & lime! Keep it simple and easy!

The food was very good, and the service. We had a great time and they never rushed us. The only downside is for a large party they will not split the check and put everything on one check. Being this party was with a lot of people I never met, I wasn't going to chance paying no one's bill but mine. So I went to the front and order to go and sat and ate there. Worked out fine for us.

All in all it was a nice place I had two tacos buche and carne asada the buche was good not tough Hubby had the Milanesa Only downside is the wait time They originally told me 15 mins we waited an hour Granted there was an event going on in DTO but I feel they should mention there's going to be a wait But all in all we'd go back during regular days

This is a nice restaurant with live mariachis on the weekend. Eye pretty restaurant with plenty of large group seating! The patio is also very nice and big. Food was good and service was acceptable!

Great breakfast in a welcoming environment. The food is always made with fresh ingredients. The service is on point and they remember you by name. When we arrived the host said right this way to your regular table. I personally like sitting under the stairs. Side note if you want a party catering this is the place. Just make sure you have dishes for you guests to take home. You get a lot of food for your money ! Keep up the good work!

Food: All the food was so good, we all ordered off of the happy hour menu. And the sizes were perfect. We just ordered a bunch of different things. They all came out hot and fresh. We didn't prefer the taste of the chicken but that was a personal preference. Drinks: We were ordering off of the happy hour menu for drinks too. We got margaritas and beer. The margaritas were so good! Service: We were able to sit right down on a Friday night because we sat in the bar area. They let us sit outside. So the service was great, no complaints. Inside: So clean and nice inside. There are so many tables here. And there are very clean restrooms. Outside: They have a parking lot in the back, it was full when we got there. They have a lot of parking on the streets! The outdoor patio is very big and nice! They have heaters out there too!

We went on a Wednesday night around 5:45pm, which was not too busy. We got sat right away and they took our drink order. I ordered a mojito and the drink was perfect! Not too sweet and not much alcohol just the right balance. We ordered a taco plate with beans and rice, and a chicken mole enchilada plate. Our order only took 10 min! We absolutely loved our food so much flavor and big portions. To end the night we got the flan with cajeta so delicious! Our waiter Carlos was very nice and urgent with our orders. We will be back! 10/10.

The service was excellent, and I went there during the week. It was around 5 pm, and it was empty. They have a darker bar section, the music is louder, and there is regular seating for families, which is quieter. The beer is cold and refreshing. The tortillas are freshly made. They have a lady who does them fresh, so it's very homemade. The asada was cooked medium rare. The pollo was a little dry, but the seasoning was good. The queso fundido was so good. The gooey cheese and the combination of the chorizo were delicious. I recommend this place. I'll give it a 4.8/5

Cute place in downtown Ontario... breakfast is hardy, you can share plate as it's a lot of food. Big place and has a large sports bar in the center room.

Went in for happy hour. Our group of 25 trickled in but the waiter took our orders as we arrived. Service was extremely slow. They served others who arrived 20 minutes after us first. Food was fair. A little cold and missing salt. Drinks were as expected for happy hour prices. We got margaritas at the value price of $4.50 and martini for $7. We liked it enough to try happy hour again!

Service and food was excellent. I will definitely return. The michelada was very good. Place was clean and ambiance was nice.

We went looking for some taco Tuesday special their tacos are pretty good I recommend buche , we also happen to be there during happy hour so that was a plus . We sat at the bar the bartender was very friendly bilingual and told us about specials right away , fun times

The hubby and I both ordered the combo plate with Tamales . There was maybe a tsp of meat on top of the tamale. The rest of the food was delicious. So I won't let this stop me from going back. I'll just not order the tamale ever again! The service was mid road. We waited 30+ min to be seated. Then almost another 30 for our food to come out. My daughter in laws plate fell off the tray when he served us our food. They apologized and within 5 min had another plate of food for her. So why were we given a speech about how the kitchen was backed up so the dinners would be a little slow coming out? But please feel free to order appetizers and drinks or beer. To relax and enjoy. We did greatly appreciate the quick response. The dining room floor was clean. They had a roaming Mariachi band that was nice, but very loud when they were right next to you.

Went back for another visit. Gloria's didn't disappoint. First, the restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly. Atmosphere is great. You can enjoy yourself in either the dining area or a bar area that also has seating with tables and comfy chairs. Music in the bar was on pint and added to our enjoyment. We ordered off the Happy Menu and shared different selections. Everything was delicious and the michelada was exactly what I was looking for. You have to give them a try.

I ordered the mole enchiladas (chicken) let me say that this mole was rich in flavor! Sweet! Must say they were FIRE! So fire that the fire department stopped by.

Honestly food was incredible! The service was great and very attentive. I got the chicken fajitas and the plate was HUGE, not to mention I received beans, rice and guac with it as well. I was stuffed and happy! This place is kind of pricey but definitely worth the portion, depending on what you get.

Ordered Gloria's taco--stacked with tender asada, refried beans, nopales, and panela cheese, drenched in a rich, spicy molcajete sauce. Worth it? Yup. Every bite was layered with flavor. Chicken chimichanga came out golden-crispy, great flavor. Carne asada sopes--topped with shredded lettuce, fresh pico. Every bite hit right. Ambience is cool, Service was quick, friendly!

A great place for authentic Mexican dishes! Son-in-law and friend both enjoyed the Chicken Enchiladas de Mole and I ordered the Taquitos Plate. The addictive Salsa Verde complimented the freshly made tortilla chips well and with just the right amount of heat! The server was hustling throughout his section and ensured all guests were taken care of. Refills were replaced without asking. From start to finish, this eatery was the perfect solution for legit Mexican food cravings. Reliable, authentic, and delicious! Can't wait to revisit them again!

My Go To when I'm in the area !!! Liz is The Absolute BEST Bartender You Could Ever have . Always Great Service with a Beautiful Smile

Delicious food and friendly service. Waitress was continually checking to see if we needed anything. Never forgot any of our requests.

Our group of 20 went to Gloria's. Nineteen of us ordered food and drinks, but one friend is vegan. In the past, we were told their salsa has chicken stock in it, so she came prepared with her own chips and salsa. The manager, Memo, came to the table and told her she couldn't have outside food. She explained the reason, but he rudely said "it doesn't matter." She put it away immediately, yet Memo continued walking by our table as if he was supervising us, which made everyone uncomfortable. For a group spending money on food and drinks, you'd expect at least a little understanding and professionalism. Instead, Memo acted condescending and unwelcoming, as if he owned the place and didn't care about customers. He could have handled the situation with respect, but chose not to. Very disappointing experience.

Full bar and kitchen cooking dishes full of flavor are here. The happy hour is bomb and they don't skimp on chips and salsa. I could eat here every day. The service could be a little more attentive but the food drinks make up for it. The vibes are festive and upbeat. They even have a DJ and live music on the weekends. One of my favorite spots.

I came wirh my friend for lunch. I got the chile verde and she got the steak picadillo. We both enjoyed our meal. It's enough for two people. We took our leftovers home. It's a great place to hang out with friends and family, watch sports or happy hour. It's a big restaurant. The servers are great and welcoming. The restrooms are clean. Yiu can park in the back or on the street. We live close by, so we will come often.

This Mexican restaurant goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. They greet you with a comforting smile and immediately show you to your dining area. I was impressed that they had such a small staff but handled large parties efficiently. Our crowd of 15 people was served chips and salsa within seconds of being seated, and the drinks came out shortly afterward. Once everyone could get situated, they took our order with two servers. Most of the folks we were with ordered the fabulous menudo; it was the morning star. The flavors were superb; they included bone, which intensified the flavors. I look forward to my next trip to Ontario so we can grace Gloria with our presence and enjoy another stunning meal.

Craving some authentic Mexican food after a long day in the hospital with my dad. My mom and I came across this restaurant and we cannot wait to go back with my dad. We went on a Saturday night and it was busy but we were sat right away as they have a lot of room! Bar, dining, outside- probably more lol we were served chips and salsa right away. Our server was very friendly, prompt, and attentive. I also had a michelada that was SO GOOD and spicy. The food came out quickly and very hot. Fajitas were so fresh, shrimp were big and chicken was very juicy. The handmade corn tortillas just made everything that much better. My mom had a tamale and chile relleno that she loved as well and devoured. The mariachis came around and played so beautifully- it was a really good meal after such a long, stressful day. Can't wait to come back very soon!

We've now gone to this location twice and loved the food. We've had the Mar, Cielo y Tierra Molcajete which is pretty large and shrimp cocktails as well as the enchiladas and everything was delicious! The atmosphere is a lot of fun good music, sports bar area and a live mariachi. The restaurant is pretty big so the waiting time has always been short for us. Their service is pretty good they kept checking to make sure we had refills or if anything was needed. Definitely recommend for your traditional Mexican restaurant.

They have the best margarita candy flight here ! The flavors are all great and come with a candy decoration. I come just for that !

My family has been coming to Gloria's for years, and it never disappoints. Enjoy delicious food and outstanding service--staff members are always quick, friendly, and attentive. There's plenty of dining space, whether you prefer a laid-back meal in the dining room or a livelier atmosphere near the bar with music. On weekends, a separate section next to the bar transforms into a dance floor with a DJ, making it a great spot for a fun night out.

Want to start with service. Great to visit a place and for the server to give you amazing customer service and recommendations. Our server Magdalena was so polite and really helped make my choosing easy. Then the food came out. Ordered the Aztec soup and it was so good. Fresh avocado, beans cheese and tortilla chips. As my mane dish I had the chicken in Mole and it was super delicious. Got it with white meat only and it was super juicy excellent experience

The food was decent, but the atmosphere was somewhat disrupted when a mid older couple had their dogs tied up right next to our outdoor table. As someone who works in the animal field and generally enjoys having pets around, I found this particular experience challenging because my in-laws were meeting my family for the first time. Unfortunately, the dogs began barking and sniffing at my food while their owners sat further away, seemingly unaware of the chaos they were causing. While I didn't want to create a scene, I moved to mitigate the situation. It would be appreciated if patrons could be more considerate of others. I believe well-behaved furry companions aren't a bother, but it's the poorly trained dogs, often due to neglectful owners, that create these disturbances. Interestingly, enough I even witnessed an elderly man who noticed the commotion and returned with his own pup on his shoulder, which was delightful and calm, passed by into the restaurant. I complimented & pointed out how well that pup was. I think that when a pet is misbehaving, it's best to either seat them further away from others or provide a takeout option for the owners. A little consideration goes a long way in ensuring everyone enjoys their dining experience.

Found a small Screw in the burrito. Order was wrong. Served us beef we don't eat beef or pork. Contacting the better business bureau. No bueno. We Tried to work with the manager Lazaro and the owner, but they only took off the burrito and the item that was a mistake. Sadly, after 10 years of eating here, we will not return again. We will contact the BBB because this could have been a very serious health hazard! We brought almost 19 people to eat dinner. Never again...

It saddens me that businesses with great potential would be ran by crabby managers with such a negative demeanor.Glorias of Ontario is such a local stable in my neighborhood but it has definitely lost its touch . The food is terrible and this has been on multiple occasions. I've tried different plates and have received the wrong items , or cold food . When brought to the managers attention he was very unprofessional and had a bad attitude.You can also tell he's tough on the employees which is unfortunate to see. I hope to see new management in the near future if I ever decide to give them a chance again .

Really good food the workers here are nice God bless the workers and the people here are nice God bless the people who come here they keep this place clean

Terrible service. A sarcastic short temp rude waiter. He added extra drinks by mistake, his mistake, but said when he delivered it you have to drink it because otherwise O have to pay for it myself. We said but we didn't order this and we repeated our order to you. He ignored us and left the drinks in the table and charge us for it. It was worse service I've seeing in many years

Great authentic Mexican food. I went on a Sunday and I enjoyed the Mariachi. The servers are very attentive. I will definitely be back.

From being a regular to not going back for 365 days. How do you sell tostadas .25 cents when you order ceviche. Help me understand. Our food took an hour to arrive and it was cold. My wife's Birria had nothing but cebo (cebo with cebo don't go together). I'm a coke addict and wasn't getting my refills on time. Tortillas took a whole hour to arrive. Very Disappointed with the service and food this time. Hopefully the next time I go in 365 days my normal pregnanation waiter is back. Avoid this place. Go to pescador down the street.

On a Sunday morning my friends decided I have a nice lunch at Gloria's we were a party of 16 and the staff quickly accommodated and sat us promptly. They were absolutely amazing and friendly. The food was delicious and fresh the tortillas are handmade which is a plus. All the dishes did not disappoint authentic mexican dishes and flavors. The micheladas are amazing the music is great. Perfect place to celebrate graduations, birthday, any special occasions.

Overpriced for basic Mexican food. The restaurant itself is nice and big but for the prices the food wasn't all that great. I ordered the Mole enchiladas and the sauce tasted like store bought sauce. The carne asada platter was ok too but not worth $20+. The only thing that tasted decent was the fajitas. Those were actually very flavorful. The handmade corn tortillas freshly made were a plus so I'd recommend a dish that you can order tortillas with. The service was decent. Our waiter was really nice and worked really fast but there were times when we were looking for him and couldn't find him for a long time. The food was out really fast! So that was a plus too. The drinks were good too. Had a Michelada, which was good but nothing of a wow factor. They have a bar on the other side of the restaurant that has live music. Seemed fun for happy hour. I would maybe try brunch next time.

Outstanding! Took Grandpa here for a late lunch. The burritos and tacos were amazing. Service was spot on. Our server was very attentive. The Mariachis were walking around the restaurant playing their beautiful music on Sunday when we were there. It's a gem of a place to go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Every time we dine here the food is always delish. A proper authentic Mexican joint. We love it!

Great chilli relleno, taquito, and quesadilla with rice and beans. Great service. Great Strawberry Margarita and house margaritas. Would recommend this place.

Food is authentic Mexican food and very delicious. Including the beans and rice. The ambiance is really ice. Also, we received great service from our waiter Gonzalo.

The food was overall really good! I got the Carne Asada plate and it included: beans, rice, salad, chile, onion bulb and of course the carne asada. My boyfriend got the Cecina plate which included: beans, rice, and a nopales salad. Both plates came with HANDMADE tortillas! I REPEAT HANDMADE!! They were a pretty good size and they tasted great! Although the tortillas cost extra to add-on, I think they're still pretty worth it in terms of size, quality, texture and taste. We also got a freshly squeezed orange and carrot juice which was great. Both meats were very flavorful and tender and all the flavors actually blended together really nice. Our server, Alberto was super friendly and very accommodating. We'll definitely be back here again! :) P.S. Out of the many different Mexican restaurants that we've been to, we rate this one really high!!

Cinco de drinko at Gloria's was super fun. We were greeted and opted to sit outside. Our waiter was amazing, super friendly and attentive. He took good care of us. I got a chili relleno, and he got chicken mole. My plate was huge, i like the side of fresh veggies to cute down the sauce for my relleno. We started with mango margaritas, and ended with a cadillac margarita and he got a beer. Really fun, party feel. Definitely for cinco de mayo. Plus the outside dining is very pleasant.

Morning with Liz and the ladies Nights with Diaz and the gents Top Mexican food in town here at Gloria's Mexican Cantina, this place has a beautiful patio, beautiful sports bar, a place to definitely stop by and visit! Music & Drinks are always popping ;)

If you are looking for a great Mexican cantina restaurant, I highly recommend this place! LOCATION - downtown Ontario, back parking lot, street parking may be hard to find, great busy location. SERVICE - phenomenal service, constant check ins, and very helpful with menu options and recommendations. FOOD - big portions, delicious, and the complimentary salsa and chips were one of the best I had! The horchata was very fresh and the menudo was super big and had ton of toppings to add. The quesadilla came with sour cream and guacamole and the sizes for the meals were generous portions.

One of the best places out here in the inland Empire food is always good service is on point and the drinks is not watered down the Chile Relleno is one of my favorites and the Chicken Cheese Enchilada is good and the chocolate flan is the best..flan with a brownie on the bottom it's sooooo good you have to try it.. the bar area is nice also with TV's all over the walls great for watching the games..
