    Conchas con camarones

    Excelente! La comida me fascinó me trae muchos recuerdos de mi país El Salvador. El mejor lugar de comida salvadoreña.

    Garlic fish, queso papusos, jalapeno rice.

    Garlic fish, queso papusos, jalapeno rice. Oh my lord, best lunch i've had in Houston. I'll be back for sure.

    Pupusas Revueltas

    Pupusas revueltas here are ON POINT, they have those much sought after burnt cheese bits and the flavor of the filling is exactly what I was hoping for. And the curtido is delicious. Pupusa spots are definitely hit or miss, I'm so glad I came here. The to go service was quick despite there being a lot of people seated.

    Can't believe I found a great authentic restaurant in houston. This is by far great food and service. The food is amazing the portions are large and the price is unbeatable. I ordered a pan con gallina it was $5 and a desayuno plate It was also $5.I have to say this has been best Salvadorian restaurant in houston. There were a variety of drinks available maranon, sebada, tamarindo, and Jamaica but no horchata. But the food, service and price made up for it. I'm so happy found this restaurant.

    Great Salvadorian Food. The pupusas are delicious filed with cheese, beans or chicharrones. The seafood soup is ok. They have a variety of juices, the Jamaica juice is good. The yuca and pork grinds are yummy! The tamales are the best! Plantanes are great too.

Our server was super attentive and he made sure that everyone's food and drinks came out at the same time even if someone came in later. I had the nachos with beef fajita and chicken, and I thought it was pretty good, it has the same set up as nachos from Pappasito's and my only complaint was that I asked for a side of sour cream to go and was charged a dollar for it. So if anything keep in mind that if you request an extra or even a condiment on the side, you might get charged a small fee.

They have a very…read moresmall brunch menu and they didn't have the entrée I originally wanted so I went with the Barbacoa omelette. The waiter spoke very highly of it but I wasn't impressed. I feel like my food was probably sitting for a while because it wasn't hot. The omelette itself didn't really have any flavor nor did the potatoes. The most flavorful thing on the plate was the avocados and fruit. I didn't even really feel like it was an omelette. Looked more like a bunch of meat wrapped in an egg cover vs everything being nicely mixed together. I took it to go because I didn't want to throw it away there. The service was very slow. I'd say it took a little over an hour for me to get my food and some people in the group waited longer. One of the girls waited for quite a bit and then the waiter told her they don't have the item she was waiting for. Waiting 1 hr to be told your meal is isn't available is crazy lol Waiter was nice though and comped the other item she ordered. Overall, I'd say I wasn't impressed with Gloria's brunch for sure. Maybe I'd try them again for happy hour at their other location.

    I'll start by saying that the service there was great. The lady taking our order was really…read morefriendly. She answered my questions and was helpful with ordering. I went there due to seeing their instagram story about a $10 meal deal (2 pupusas, a pastelito, and a soda) but they had run out of pastelitos so I had to quickly choose something so I'm thankful that they were happy to help answer any questions. It's a small food truck located in the same parking lot with Fiesta off Paton and Cavalcade so there's no seating or real space to eat (unless you eat in your car). They're also honest about the wait time. They said it would take 15-20 minutes and they didn't go over their time estimate. I have only had pupusas a handful of times (I'm from a small town in WA state that only had Mexican restaurants since only Mexicans lived there, so don't judge ) and can say these were the best I've had thus far. They were freshly made and piping hot when I got them (I had to put the bag down from my lap because it was too hot) and remained so throughout eating them. The cheese was gooey and stringy and their salsa has a nice little kick to it. It wasn't greasy or too salty which is always a plus. I ordered the revueltas (pork & cheese) and added beans to them. They are HUGE so be mindful when ordering them (they also taste better the next day if you have any leftover). These were definitely worth the price. I would recommend this place to anyone who asks if I know where they sell good pupusas. Let's just say I'll be going in again (they're so close to me). I hope y'all enjoy.

Beware, they play loud Christian music. They have a small grocery store within the restaurant where you can find all types of Salvadoran products. I wanted a fruit drink and asked to try the cantaloupe juice first. It was artificial and too sweet. I'm glad I didn't order it. I was appalled when I saw the price of the fruit salad drink. It's $7.99. Who do they think they are? I inquired if they have a small size. They don't. I wonder how many folks purchase it. This is a low-income area. I got down to business and ordered a cheese and loroco pupusa. It was of course served with curtido (cabbage) and a tomato sauce. The pupusa was good but I've had better. The sauce was watered down. I would probably go back to have a pupusa if I'm in the area. But it's not my favorite place to have them.
