La Gloria

I visited here for the first time recently during a visit to town. I was with a group of seven. The vibe is nice and inviting. The staff was very friendly. We ordered a variety of things: Oaxaqueñas, device, al pastor tacos, bistec tacos, guacamole, chile con queso, refried black beans, and cocktails - house marg, ranch water, flavored margs, paloma, mojito. Everything was hit or miss. Nothing was terrible but everything - drinks included - was either REALLY good or just okay. For us, what made something really good was having it be flavorful. For example, the charbroiled beans and guacamole needed more flavor. We added lime and they both tasted much better. The Oaxaqueñas was so flavorful and delicious. So was the device. The meat on the bistec tacos was dry but the tacos didn't taste bad. I'd come back and try a few more things on the menu, to have a solid line up of regular choices. The prices were fine. We were there during happy hour, so most drinks were reasonably priced.

Mexicans don't eat here. Locals don't eat here unless they want very Americanized Tex-Mex. It's not a tourist trap but it's very business meeting, out of town family visiting, white washed Tex-Mex. The enchiladas are okay at best. The ingredients on the menu are toppings not fillings - and I tried 3 different ones. So if you get the veggie enchiladas then expect a cheese enchilada topped with everything else. The chips and salsa are both okay at best. For the price you can do way better. Indoor and outdoor seating is available.

It has been a few years since I’ve been back to La Gloria. I was craving the beef molcajete and was glad to see it is still on the menu. We also ordered a peruvian style ceviche, guacamole, black beans and a couple of margaritas. First I want to share that the consistency in the food quality was everything! The beef was so juicy and tender and the flavors of spices in were perfection with the molcajete. If you’re from out of town, you must give this a try. Our ceviche was also delicious! The agua chile, and crispy topping made the dish extra flavorful. I will say if you love avocado, the side guac is perfect to pair with the mocajete. I will definitely be back more often.

I went here twice while on vacation and had fantastic service and great food both times. The food came out very quickly. The patio has fun vibes and nice views. The only negative is all the crazy birds on the patio, but they're also kinda fun.

The mole chicken enchiladas were amazing. Very flavorful and the presentation was spectacular. Great house marg as well, happy hour prices made it better and it wasn’t too strong! The salsa had more of a mole flavor to it which I liked, very unique I came in on a time in between lunch and dinner and the vibe was perfect. I got a table outside overlooking the river. The restaurant’s outside area is well done 👌 I can see why this is a top rated spot in San Antonio
