I stopped in into La Gloria for a margarita and a small snack ended up having a great time at this restaurant. It was fun, lively with great food and good drink drinks

Delicious authentic Mexican food. A true treasure in San Antonio. This is not Tex-mex, this is puro San Antonio Mexican food. Service is good. Come ready for a chill, laid back meal. Be prepared to wait, but there is plenty to do while you wait. Food and drinks are everything you want on the Riverwalk, that’s actually upriver.

My first time dining at LA Gloria and especially the beautiful outdoor dining. Dinner was served promptly and hot. The staff was friendly and very attentive. We all ordered something different, and each meal was loaded with flavor and with just enough spice. I'm glad we chose to enjoy dinner at LA Gloria and look forward to returning upon my next trip to San Antonio.

Great happy hour margaritas! Fun outdoor patio with holiday lighting in Pearl. Must be a popular spot with warmer weather.

Take the trip to the Pearl area. This is probably the best Margarita we have had anywhere! Food was good.. chips and salsa were superb. Service good. This is the real deal.

Beautiful outdoor seating. Drinks were great. Food was ok. The entire Pearl area was super nice.

Appetizer was delicious. Margaritas were strong enough to stand on their own. Not your American Mexican food. Don't expect velvetta queso. This is the real deal.

The food was delicious! Great patio! Good atmosphere and lots to do in the area! The Molcsjetts was wonderful! It taste like a chili/pot roast. The texture was tender. The enchilada sauce was full of flavor!

Went for a birthday dinner with a party of 20. There was only a 30min wait! San Antonio can get pretty cold in January, so while the restaurant prepared our seating, we hung outside next to the patio…

Was not authentic Tex-Mex! food was cold, tortillas hard and overall over-priced. Margarita was only bright spot. I would not recommend.

Pretty solid mid range Mexican food. Friendly staff. Decent sized drink menu. Really enjoyed the salsa they had with the salsa and chips.

La Gloria is a nice place. Good atmosphere. Show up early, or later than normal dinner time as it tends to get packed and parking is hard to find. Service was very good. Staff is friendly. The food was ok. It's not my cup of tea. It may have been an off day, but I felt there was very little flavor to any of the food I tried.

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.

The kiddos and I really liked the vibe of this place. First of all, it has good parking where a lot of the other locations does not have good parking. Secondly, it has both indoor and outdoor spaces that are very artistic and there is lots to look at. Very child friendly. The negative is the absolute tiniest portion sizes at a premium price. We are still in Texas and not in Europe. We had five people and ordered seven entrees and all left hungry (three of these were kids under the age of 12). The dessert was the funniest. The picture does not really do it justice. It was about the size of a deck of cards and they charged $10. Even though the place was cute and the food tasted pretty good, I can't overcome the feeling of being underwhelmed with portion size and overwhelmed by cost.

The food was fine. The menu was unique. I liked the tacos al pastor without onions, but they were pretty plain and don't come with anything on the side. You should order something to go with them…

The drinks were delicious, and the food was okay. I went for a birthday dinner, but once it came time to pay, the waitress was supposed to bring back change but shorted me by $20. Make sure to check your receipts and your change. I would recommend this place for drinks only.

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.

I’ve eaten here 3 times and that was enough. I’ll say the chips were thick, crispy and tasty. The salsa and food overall lacked flavor and I ate the chips bare. If you’re already at the riverwalk; sure, eat some chips and have a drink and then move on. I feel like the employees at sometime just gave up. The service has been bad every time I’ve been here. I went last summer in the day. It wasn’t busy. I ordered a drink and some Mole. It arrived and I never saw the waitress again. I got the attention of another waitress and never received my drink. I was ready to order more, but it didn’t happen. I went across the street for some amazing Tacos. I was here last week with a group from work. The same bad ghosted service existed. It was Saturday night, not busy. There was a DJ outside. He BLASTED music. It was so loud and incongruent. The obnoxiously loud music just didn’t match the atmosphere. We had to shout to talk. When it was time to pay the individual bills, the waitress conveniently forgot to tell us that the tip was already added due to our party size. My buddy discovered that some of us double tipped. The food wasn’t necessarily bad, it was kid of meh…

They changed my tip, which is ILLEGAL to do. After I called, they did refund me BUT I wrote this review to say that they absolutely did not care that one of their employees did this. It was very disregarded and they tried to tell me that sometimes it looks like certain percentages are crossed out…… yeah, right. Food sucks too — pico de gallo tastes old and they charge you for that if you ask. Tacos with rice and beans, something that I’m shocked can even taste bad because it’s so easy to make, were horrible. I’m allergic to avocado so I had to ask if certain plates included them or not and the waitress I guess wasn’t happy with my allergy. Lol, it’s comical how rude she got after I inquired. I can die if I eat that, I have no choice but to make sure - especially at a Mexican restaurant. However, after their illegal stunt in changing my tip, I am DEFINITELY not going there and suggest you do the same. I can deal with a horrible restaurant when it comes to food, plenty around, but to illegally change the tip and charge me? That sooooooo crosses the line.

Our dining experience commenced with indoor seating, where the temperature was around 78 degrees, slightly warmer than ideal. In retrospect, the Walmart portable air conditioning unit nearby should have indicated that the air conditioning system was malfunctioning. Chef Johnny Hernandez's Mexican recipes did not align with expectations, particularly considering the high prices. The $28 carne guisada in a molcajete was not accompanied by rice or beans, and the rice lacked flavor, with no apparent inclusion of corn or tomato. The charro beans, priced at $8, tasted more like canned pinto beans with pico added, which seemed excessive. While the corn tortillas were not authentic, the flour tortillas were decent. Unfortunately, the bistek was dry and tasted similar to beef jerky. A meal at Taco Jalisco would have been a more cost-effective option, considering the $140 total for dinner.

I don't know where to begin to describe my visit to this awful place. There should be a warning that says "Food INSPIRED BY MEXICAN FOOD," but it still doesn't come close. Everything went wrong from the start. The waiter we had forgot to come back to take our order. I only asked for an extra two minutes to decide what to order, and after 20 minutes, I had to get up from my table to go get him. Once the food was on the table, it got worse. MY COCKTAIL CAMPECHANO had nothing to do with a Mexican cocktail. First of all, tiger's milk(Leche de Tigre) is a type of Peruvian ceviche sauce. The sauce itself seemed like puree. The seafood presentation made it hard to tell what kind of seafood it was because the pieces were so small. My husband ordered a pair of "Quesabirrias" with flavorless cheese, over-seasoned meat, and a super-low-quality flour tortilla. For God's sake, don't they know flour tortillas? The chef should go to northern Mexico to experience the true flavor of Mexican cuisine, especially Sinaloa to learn how to make seafood cocktails. Overall, for me, the place was CULTURAL APPROPIATION because it appeared to be nice, but the main thing that needed to shine was the food, and that wasn't the case. Not even the music matched the restaurant's theme; it seemed like you were in any bar or pub. You go to a restaurant to eat good food; everything else is redundant. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. They really need good food urgently because they are deceiving Americans with bad Mexican food, they are not giving them a good taste.
