Gloria's Latin Cuisine

We visited with a large party and were really impressed by how quick and efficient the service was. The staff handled everything smoothly, and the food came out hot and fresh. Two standout dishes were the chimichangas and the carne asada—make sure to order the carne asada medium rare for the best flavor and tenderness. The complimentary bean dip was a pleasant surprise—I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. The house margarita was decent, but in hindsight, I wish I had gone with a blanco tequila. Overall, Gloria’s delivered great food, fast service, and a solid atmosphere for groups. Would definitely return.

Great atmosphere and pretty good food. The bean dip was probably the best thing I had that day. Very delicious. The steak was pretty good. The salmon was good but the vegetable base did not have too much flavor so that could be a little better. Margarita was good and strong.

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the salmon was! The mix of vegetables it came with wasn’t what I expected, but I gave it a shot and loved every bite. We arrived during the dinner rush and the only available seating was at the bar, but the service didn’t miss a beat. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. The chips and salsa had their own unique twist, which made them stand out. We even met some great people while sitting at the bar such a fun, welcoming vibe all around. Highly recommend!

Oh my god how is this place not rated 5 stars? I got delivery today and this is the best Mexican food in Austin by leaps and bounds. We got the steak and chicken fajitas, the mango margarita and guacamole with chips and queso. Absolutely delicious. Ignore the takeout containers this food is absolutely amazing.

The queso and cocktail I had were delicious. The service was excellent. It was a little loud as there’s a sports bar area. It would be nice to see more variety on the menu or for guidance on the menu dependent on the guest’s palette. Might return.

This wasn’t our first time to Gloria’s, but it was our first time to this location. Always a favorite brunch spot for us! Delicious and good priced mimosas. There were three of us and we still managed to spend under $100 with drinks. We ordered Glenda’s Caserola, Brisket Tostones Stack, and Spicy Brisket Sopes. All delicious! Felipe gave excellent service! Very professional, friendly, and prompt service.

1st time here. Nice and clean. The staff was friendly but our server Jaime was amazing.i have food allergies and he made sure I didn't order anything food or drink wise that would bother me. Thee food was very good. Will be back.

Outstanding meal, drinks and desserts! Our server was excellent as well! Cuatro Leches cake this time, Honey Plantains the next - we'll be back! Thanks, Gloria's!

I am surprised this spot is not rated higher! We came on a Thursday for dinner, and my boyfriend mentioned it was one of his favorite restaurants. In a city full of small, expensive-plate restaurants, the food here is very well priced and generously portioned! The menu features both Latin American dishes (such as ceviche and sweet plantains) and Tex-Mex options (enchiladas, burritos, etc.). The margaritas are strong, and the complimentary chips, salsa, and bean dip are wonderful. I had the chili relleno stuffed with shrimp ($19), and it was fantastic! I actually appreciated that it wasn't breaded and fried like the usual chili relleno. It comes with a side enchilada and a choice of sauce--amazing! Be sure to get the queso sauce, so good! The staff is very attentive. My only minor complaint is that the interior is just okay; the tables and chairs don't quite fit the space and feel a bit old. Never mind that because this spot is still wonderful :)

This place has turned into a regular spot for me when I punch out from work or meeting some friends. The service here is great depending on who's working and what time of day or night you go. The food is on point,my go to meal, when I do decide to eat here is the Nancy Ribeye & The blackened red snapper. Although the theme of this restaurant is set in a salvatorian mindset, they do offer your staple Tex Mex cuisine popular food items. The ambiance is that of a casual/dress up. If you go on salsa night dress code is enforced. The one negative thing that gets constantly asked is if this place offers an happy hour and the answer is no. Happy hour would have gotten this place a 5 star rating, there are too many places in the Domain in walking distance that offer happy hour.

What is the appropriate time to celebrate your birthday - one day, one week, one month or more? Well, I celebrated my birthday with a long-time friend of mine tonight. Gloria's Latin Cuisine was our restaurant of choice. Gloria's trademark is their margaritas - house, top shelf and everything in between. My personal favorite is the mango strawberry swirl margarita. The amount of alcohol in their margaritas is very noticeable...you only need one as they are rather potent! Every meal at Gloria's starts with chips, salsa and black bean dip. I'm absolutely addicted to the black bean dip...in fact, we had two servings and perhaps two servings of chips...ok I confess...two servings of chips! My friend ordered a Crispy taco plate (Three shredded chicken tacos, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, Spanish rice and pinto beans) and I ordered the Gloria Super Special (One chicken tamale, one pupusa, yuca, fried plantain, sour cream, arroz casamiento and black beans.) Our selections were tasty and plentiful. We both took doggie bags with us...enough for a complete meal. We sat at the bar and we had three severs attending to our dining needs. In fact, they provided "to go" containers and wished me happy birthday. Gloria's food is consistently good and a wonderful place to meet while shopping at the Domain or meeting up with family or friends.

First time here and I enjoyed every minute. Our waiter was so sweet and never once got frustrated with all our questions. He checked on us regularly and was very prompt the entire night. Our wait time was not bad either for a party of four with no reservations. I really enjoyed our location due to we were near the waterfall and were able to see out the windows as well. It was a beautiful night. Now the food was delicious. I'll definitely be coming back to check out other selections. The shrimp was loaded with flavor and the rice was a great compliment. The veggies were my absolute favorite and my margarita was tasty too.

I went here for the first time last week. There was a short wait, but we were seated promptly. The chips and salsa they brought to the table was pretty good. They also brought beans?!? I ordered the chile relleno. It was spicy! But in a good way--more so than just the poblano pepper. The sauce on top though was just mid. It tasted a bit overcooked. At the end of our meal, we waited a long time to get the check. We couldn't find our waiter anywhere. We ended up having to ask another waiter to settle our bill. Overall, it was fine. There's other restaurants at the Domain that have better service, but it's worth checking out.

The restaurant specializes in Latino cuisine which is a bit elaborate that what one is typically used to for Tex Mex cuisine. The ambience is very modern and accommodating. We went for lunch and the menu options are more limited than the dinner menu. The food was great and the server was very attentive and helpful. Overall a great place for family, couples and business meetups.

We visited here on 12/29/2024 at about 6:00PM with a party of four. It is located right in the heart of The Domain. We had a great time at Gloria's. It was my first time; however, two in our party of four have been here quite a bit. I started with the Sparkling Peach Margarita, which is absolutely delicious. For my dinner, I had the Salmon Costeno. It was so yummy, seasoned well and cooked just the way I like it. Honestly, there are so many things on the menu I wanted to try, and would love to try something else the next time. Our server was prompt with everything, and made sure we were well taken care of.

I had an amazing experience at Gloria's at The Domain! The standout for me was the shrimp cocktail - it was fantastic and so fresh. The shrimp were plump, perfectly chilled, and served in a flavorful cocktail sauce with just the right amount of spice and tang. It was the perfect way to start the meal. I also tried the camarones plate and it did not disappoint. The shrimp were cooked to perfection, juicy and seasoned well, with a delicious side of rice and sautéed vegetables that really rounded out the dish. The portion size was generous, and every bite was bursting with flavor. Great service, great food - I'll definitely be back! Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Gloria's offers a lively and inviting dining experience that beautifully showcases the rich flavors . The restaurant's ambiance is warm and welcoming, with a festive vibe that makes it perfect for both casual dinning or a date night or a celebratory outings. The decor combines modern elements with traditional Latin flair, setting the stage for an enjoyable meal. I went with my friends on a Sunday afternoon brunch ! The menu at Gloria's is quit extensive .. they have a brunch menu for weekends but also offer their full menu and I love that they have a separate dedicated Vegetarian menu ! Their red salsa was really delicious but for vegetarian's remember that the black bean dip served as salsa has lard ! The margaritas are a highlight, with a range of flavors that are both refreshing and potent, complementing the spicy and savory dishes perfectly. Service is attentive and friendly, with staff members who are knowledgeable about the menu and eager to make recommendations. I tried the veggie Chili relleno and loved it ! Overall, Gloria's Latin Cuisine offers a vibrant dining experience with authentic Latin flavors, making it a top choice for anyone looking to enjoy hearty, flavorful dishes in Austin. You can park right behind the Gloria's in the Macys / shake shack open lot !

Been to Gloria's @ The Domain many times and I've never been disappointed. I love the Latin menu choices that separate it from all of the Tex-Mex outlets around town. The dining room has a fine dining feel but the prices are very reasonable. Recommended.

30-35 minutes wait. For a table of 5 people. Front host were not that friendly. Very cold and unprofessional. They seem unpleasant to help the customer. Not very informative about waiting for the table making us the customer seem unwanted and unwelcome. Restrooms were below average clean. The waiter was great and attentive Update* After couple of weeks of waiting for someone to reply to us. Still terrible service and clearly see how they don't value good services is this company. Updated service 1/19/2025 Came with asking table for 10 and we even try to call to see if we could reserve it. But they said no. So we came in and they told us to wait 30-45 minutes but another family came with 8 people and they didn't even waited 5 minutes and got seated. For it so unfair to get this type of service from this company. They don't have truly customer service for continues returning service.

This place is ok. I like the brunch menu much more than dinner. I'm a vegetarian and both times I've been here for dinner, I got the spinach enchiladas. I remember the 2nd time I got them why it took me 6 months to come back. It's not like a cheese and spinach mix inside the enchilada, it's literally just pure whole spinach leaves. It would be nice if they had other veg options because this dish isn't for me. Server was super nice but hostess stand energy was weird. Server seemed overwhelmed/maybe new so I asked hostess for check and to-go box. After 5 min she came to my table and said "just a moment!" Then 5 min more passed and I flagged the server down and he had no knowledge of these requests. So why did the hostess pretend that she helped -_- All in all I will only be back for brunch. No, I didn't talk to a manager and no, I don't want to email about this :)

Gloria's is one of those places you go to hang with friends while absorbing the beautiful aesthetics of the place and enjoying yummy food. I usually come here to celebrate something. The music is great, the service is very good, and everything I've had here has been to my liking. But you just haven't tried Gloria's if you haven't had those flaming plantains with ice cream!!! What a spectacle to see and the friendliness of the staff while working this out to your table. If you want Latin food with the atmosphere, come to Gloria's

I was part of a very large group, so that likely affected the experience....just wanted to put that out there. My favorite part of the meal was the chips, guacamole and salsa...pretty much couldn't stop myself from reaching for the chips constantly. Service was spotty-I needed water but it was hard to come by. Chips were refilled frequently, though! The folks working there were super friendly but the entrees took a really long time. Salad with salmon was OK-I did eat too many chips for sure. Loved the guacamole. I had a skinny mojito which was light and refreshing. We had a nice group dinner and nobody left hungry!

Absolutely delicious Salvadorian and tex-mex food. Part of a chain from Dallas. The strip-mall decor seems a little odd for such a fine restaurant, but the food and service deliver.

That $5 mimosas during happy hour is a must. I got the Gloria's Special. There were 7 different small portions of food in one plate, which I think is okay, the one thing that stands out to me is the Pupusas one. The tamales meat seems overcooked and dry. The chips and dips are great

Well I've always wanted to come to try the food but my first time was for the salsa night... man, it does not disappoint. I danced until my feet hurt, almost 4 hours. The staff was so friendly at the door, and every time we needed something, they were so quick to come and help out. Next time, I need to try the pupusas, please!

The food was very tasty. Salmon was cooked with perfection. It was neat that they delivered salsa and beans with chips to the table. however, I think the highlight of the evening was the desserts. The churros were amazing, followed by the chocolate sundae and flan. Our service was respectful and efficient. They have dancing on some nights however, we did not experience that.

we were seated immediately on a friday night, which was surprising! the food was great, they bring chips and salsa to every table to snack on as you look at the menu. i wish the lighting was better, but i think that's just the part of the restaurant we were at.

The location plus the ambiance is nice. I wish it was a tad brighter inside as I don't like eating in dim lighting. I was told they have music after hours so I would go back to experience that. The server was very nice and provided explanations of food we ordered and the drink. The drink was delicious and strong - margarita. My wife and I ordered separate dishes and all the food was amazing. I highly recommend the seafood soup. It a huge portion and could be shared.

I was in town on business and a friend recommended Gloria's. Now, I told myself I was going to stop asking people for recommendations when I visit because I always get disappointed however Gloria's wasn't a total disappointment, but I was expecting the food to taste much better than it did, being that I was in Austin, Texas! I ordered the Gloria's Special and Beef Enchiladas and a few other appetizers. All the items were tasty but the flavors just weren't there. In Atlanta we have some really good Mexican restaurants and Gloria's didn't top them at ALL! I took my Food To Go however they have a beautiful lively restaurant with a large bar inside, lager patio and very lively dining room. The staff were also all very attentive and friendly.

After visiting other Gloria's locations in the Dallas area, this one disappointed me a bit aesthetically, but everything else was top notch. (It was clean and nice, just not as updated/unique). Service, wait time, and food were all outstanding and even better than the other locations. And the lunch menu prices are a great deal. And of course, you can't forget their amazing black bean dip.

Ya'll know nothing about Salvadoran food. What is this? This is some Tex Mex food I can get somewhere else. We are just paying for the building even food trucks have authentic Salvadoran food. I think most Americans think this is Mexican because they don't know better and don't promote Salvadoran culture!.

I was taken to Gloria's by friends who live outside of Austin for lunch after I arrived. This place is hip, cool and is a great location for a friends get together, date night or to go and chill while watching a game. Our server was sweet and attentive. I loved their warm chips and salsa and decided to order their chicken tortilla soup. The soup was a bit different than the tortilla soups I have had in California. It seemed to have a tomato base. It was okay and there wasn't a great deal of chicken. I know they love this place. So next visit I will try enchiladas because they looked awesome!

Waiter was pleasant and attentive. Ambiance was pleasant, only wish more heaters for patio. Food delicious and plentiful. Recommend and will go again.

In Austin for the weekend. Family suggested this place. Good food and ambience. Nothing overly creative on the menu but everything from appetizers to entrees were delicious. Our server was new but really did a good job. Lots of mexican options in area but a good choice if shopping in The Domain area.

The energy of this place has changed so much over the years. It doesn't feel as welcome and fun as it used to. You feel it as soon as you approach the hostess. Also, the food here is not the same. It used to be so much better. Quality has significantly decreased. The chips were stale and tasted old. The salsa is not flavorful. I ordered the spinach and chicken quesadillas and it had zero flavor, I couldn't even eat it. The spinach wasn't even chopped and was falling out of the bread. Service was average. Will definitely not be returning anytime soon. **also the business manager's comment below is pointless and just for show. When you email, they do not respond or take action** save your coins and go elsewhere, too many good places in town!

Really good lunch. Had the chicken chimichanga and it was great. Great flavors, moist chicken and tasty salsa. Definitely will go back.

My family ordered here through DoorDash and it didn't disappoint! Between all of us, we had a couple different dishes that were really great! - Brisket quesadilla - these were super good! The brisket was yummy and it wasn't overly cheesy. Toddler kid approved! - Chimichanga- it had a good crispy outer layer that withstood the decadent cheese sauce added on top. (Pro tip- if ordering food, just ask for cheese on side so that you don't end up with a soggy burrito) - Burrito - it was a pretty big burrito and packed with flavorful goodness. Everything about the burrito felt balanced and didn't get any awkward bites if just rice or just cheese or just meat. Just a good bite for each bite - Seafood entrees - my family got 2 of these dishes and loved it! I don't remember the names but they mentioned how fresh and flavor the seafood taste. So check out that part of the menu! - Quac and chips - Also very good! No issues on that but I was not a big fan of the salsa. I wish that I could speak more to the service but maybe one day!

Haven't been to Glorias in a few years. They still have the same food quality and Customer Service is always the best regardless of the location. The ceviche tostadas changed a lot since the last time I had them (few years ago ) but they were still good. The yuca fries are served with a side of garlic and cultido ( Salvadorian cabbage and c salad) however it was missing the heat! The kids meals were ok. The drinks are worth every cent!

Arrived around 11am plenty of seating, great atmosphere. Waiter was prompt and friendly. Had the three different ceviche and the beef fajitas. It was great.

. I placed a pickup order and was shocked by the experience. The portions were tiny, the meat was tough and flavorless, and the rice amounted to just two spoonfuls. I even paid $5 extra for additional rice and beans, but received only two small spoons of rice and one of beans. Absolutely ridiculous. The prices are way too high for such poor quality and portion sizes. To make matters worse, as I was leaving, I remembered the "birthday free flan" they had promised, I opened the email, I went back and asked someone who seemed like a manager. He told me I could only get it if I had dined in. I pointed to my pickup bags, but he didn't care and repeated the same thing: only for dine-in customers. I left and don't plan to ever return. The food is overpriced and bad, and the customer service is just as terrible. Don't waste your time. Let's not even mention the parking experience today. Nightmare. Had to park all the close to Dick's and walk to the restaurant. Apparently they don't reinforce the reserved parking for pick up as the restaurant was relative empty and the parking full

I wish I could give this place zero stars. The "queso" tasted like eggs. The margaritas were garbage water. Only plus was the nice waitress but I feel like I was in jail with this food quality.

I would recommend Glorias for the welcoming ambiance, their drinks and their service! The food here is very average tex mex food, we got some enchiladas, the chicken fajitas and chile relleno (off their vegetarian menu).

Worst flavorless meal yet! And, their margarita was bitter- how is that possible?! With the restaurant only 1/4 full, it took 15 minutes to even get our drinks. Bland meal; the only thing I enjoyed was the bean dip. We won't be back-

Service was good, but man they need to speak up, it's loud in here and I feel like an old man saying "huh" repeatedly. First... I appreciate that their salsa is homemade, but it's practically just Pace Picante - Mild. Nothing very compelling or adventurous. I ordered a top shelf margarita, and it was pretty darn good 8/10! Got a Mexican martini after that, not bad... just not compelling. I ordered the shrimp tacos. The shrimp and slaw were great!! But... the tortillas were cold. The crema that came on the side to pour over the tacos was really flavorful. However, it was way too thin... so it made a mess.

I knew better than pick this place as my first proper meal in Austin but I was hungry, tired, out of it and didn't want to travel too far. So I walked in here. Everything pointed to Super Average Eats but whatever, I needed to eat. And average it was. I got a trio of enchiladas called Gloria ala something and it reminded me of the weird colored abominations they used to serve at Azteca in Seattle. One was vaguely ancho based but another was heavy cream and gross. The refried beans were near liquid-y. If you're looking for good mexican food in Austin this isn't it. Skip it.

This place is meh. Middle of the road. Tons of Tables open checking in two people Friday night 30 minute wait-even the couple Behind us questioned the wait to the hostess while we're standing. We ate at the bar. House margarita was 0/10. Food was def Tex mex 6/10. Got our order mixed up with gentlemen next to us, just assumed they didn't hear us when we ordered. We probably won't visit again. Too bad we were looking forward to good Mexican food.

Gloria is a true gem in the Domain dining scene. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by lively music and bubbly atmosphere that immediately put us in an uplifting mood. But what really stood out was the efficient and attentive service we received from our server, Sixto. He was always at the ready to refill our drinks, replenish our chips, and answer any questions we had about the menu. Now the food - it was nothing short of sensational. The skirt steak was cooked to perfection and the chicken champanones was moist and flavorful. The sides were plentiful and paired perfectly with each entree. And the dessert menu was impressive, offering everything from classic churros to indulgent brownie sundaes. Gloria provided us with an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. We highly recommend giving Gloria a visit!

Decent food and appetizers. Drinks are well done. Service is a bit slow, but they looked busy on a Friday night.

Customer service: A+ Atmosphere: A Price: A- Beverage quality: B We slide here for cocktails after our long car ride to Austin. We had a few rounds of drinks that included a house margarita, mango, and strawberry margaritas and crown and Coke. Everything was chill, nice music, beautiful scenery, plus our waiter "Ray" was so nice. His customer service was TOP TIER, to say the least. I will say the sparkling peach margarita was too sweet for me. Even stirring the wine and puree together didn't cut the sweetness. I exchanged it for another cocktail. It's definitely a chill spot for dinner or drinks Roni's pick

Stopped bu for quick drink and chilling. Service was great and attentive. Will return next time.

Great weather for sitting outside and their patio is the best. Lunch hour and prices are nicely priced . Food is absolutely tasteful with flavor. You can't go wrong with their house margarita and I always add a shot of grand manier for the perfect finisher. All of the staff is so friendly and great customer service .

Waited 2 1/2 hours for a table just for them to tell us "the kitchen is now closed we cannot seat you" . Worst experience at this place and I seen people paying their way to skip the line to be seated .Could have easily put tables together for my party or even told us the truth instead of waisting our time .

5 stars for the service and the outdoor patio and the free chips and salsa 1 star for the food the chicken in both the fajita and the cripsy taco is dry and has no flavor. wont come here again too bad, we wanted this experience to be good so we can visit again.

I went here on a company outing, so I didn't take too many pictures. I had the Mar y Tierra. The steak was great, but the shrimp lacked flavor. They were a bit in the dry side as well. The fried plantain and yuca that were served with it were absolutely wonderful. I really liked their chimichurri sauce as well. Probably the best I have ever had! We went around lunch time and it was not very crowded. There were quite a few empty tables. It did seem like the tables were pushed awful close together though. Thee waitress that we had was in no rush at all. She took at least half an hour before she took our order and she was pretty absent the remainder of the time we were there. We had to flag her down after eating to finally pay the bill. We were at the restaurant for almost two hours because of this. I see that other people have had a much better experience here and I wish I could report the same. Overall, I would definitely eat here again because a majority of everything was delicious!

The food is always tasty and fresh here. The service is always pretty good too, sometimes they can be a little with checking on you, but most of the time it's okay. Every time I have came they said the wait is 45 minutes to an hour but, it ends up being like 15-20minutes. The ambiance is very alive which a like, it's a great spot to hang out and chat with friends.

Gloria's is located within a large outdoors mall- The Domain. They had a nice large patio outside. For a Saturday afternoon, neither the indoor/outdoor dining area were particularly full. You receive complimentary salsa and chips upon sitting down. The brunch menu was pretty extensive and the tres leches waffles caught my eye. However, the waffles came out a bit soggy and were bland. I was hoping that the waffles would be elevated by the tres leches, but that literally tasted bland, too! The fresh cut fruits were a nice touch, but the dish was lacking. A huge disappointment!

We had a great family evening on Gloria's Patio recently. We ordered seafood, salmon, red snapper, appetizers and drinks. The margaritas were delicious as were the mojitos. Our server Jaime was delightful, attentive without hovering. Food came out hot and as ordered. Delightful evening and we will be back
