    San Antonio's Restaurant Week
    Emily A.

    We walked around the area and eventually found ourselves at La Gloria. Like everyone else, we grabbed a drink and found seats right in front of the live band. We had such a great time - I especially enjoyed chatting with Joe, the bartender. He had a fantastic biker-style look that really stood out. We left after just a few sips since I couldn't finish my drink, but I truly enjoyed the company and the overall experience.

    I really wanted to love this place. It seems so lively with outside seating by the river and music playing. That's what caught my attention. The service was quick. We got seated within a few minutes. The inside seating had the restaurants name on the chairs which were so cute and they had unique decor on the walls with windows so we can see some of the outside view. I ordered the deshebrada sope. It was a nice presentation but overly seasoned. I couldn't finish the whole thing because it was very overwhelming. The sope part is more like a thicker corn tortilla not like a traditional sope. I'd say it was more tex mex. I also ordered the Fundido con chorizo which comes with chips and corn tortilla . The cheese was very good but you have to eat it quick before it settles and then it's hard to pull apart. This and the chips together were probably my favorite part of the meal. My friend got the Al Pastor taco meal. I had a taste of it and her meat was also overly seasoned which is odd because the rice and beans were on the bland side. Again I really wanted to love it. Everything was beautiful even the food and our waiter was quick to tend to us but the food didn't meet our expectations .Maybe we will go back and try something different next time.

    I stopped in for lunch with friends while visiting San Antonio, and the location itself is really cute. Our server was helpful, and the chips, salsa, and queso were a great start. I initially ordered the shrimp tacos and the corn elote, but everything tasted overwhelmingly like mayonnaise, so I couldn't eat either dish. I ended up switching to a quesadilla, which was flavorful but nothing to write home about. Overall, the service was good, but I didn't enjoy the food.

    It was delicious. I'm a huge fan of enchiladas verdes in general though. I also got a margarita and it was extremely tasty! When in San Antonio, you have to try it. My party also liked the tortas de carnitas there as well. The restaurant itself was beautiful and very rustic. It has mosaic tiles and a more lived in feel that kinda matched the dish ware. It had rained earlier so they had shut the walls and didn't allow outdoor seating, but I was told the outdoor seating was quite nice and really nice vibe. I believe it faces the river walk. There's around 50 people worth of seating, and even more if there was outdoor seating. Service was fast and accommodating. They were really busy during this time though so there were less check ins with my party though. It has a huge lot for parking, so I wouldn't worry about that being a problem either!

    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 heaters and sipped on some signature margaritas! Once inside the restaurant we were greeted by our waitress, she immediately grabbed our drink & appetizer order and brought out some chips and salsa. For a busy Saturday night, service was very smooth and the waitress was very helpful and attentive. Arrived around 7:30pm and finished up by 9pm. Lots of photo ops around the property. The parking lot is not free so be sure to have your camera ready on your phone to scan QR code. Always a pleasant experience when we visit! See you next time amigos!

    Great restaurant on the river with an awesome ambiance, amazing happy hour that starts at noon! They have happy hour small bites We had the nachos with queso Fries with queso Chips & salsa The house margarita was delicious, I asked for jalapeños on the side to add to my margarita. The servers were very attentive & friendly, always making sure our drinks were filled & if we needed anything else.

    I have visited La Gloria before but the one located inside the airport. My mother-in-law stated that she has never been so we stopped in for some birthday lunch celebrations. We arrived as they opened and were promptly seated inside. We opted for inside because it was hot outside. The place itself is nice and spacious. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. We ordered some chilie con queso to start. I ordered a vegetarian tostada, and a side of elote with a diet soda. My mother-in-law ordered Deshebrada quesadilla and coffee. Everything came out pretty quickly and was absolutely delicious. We even ordered a birthday Flan to split. We did request a tres leches cake but they were out. Our server was extremely nice and patient with us throughout our dinning experience. We walked away happy, full, and satisfied with our food. Great experience and service. The food was perfect. Thank you to our server and staff, who made my mother-in-law feel special on her big day. Would recommend and return.

    We arrived just in time for Happy Hour. Got seated right away. Our party of 10 order drinks and appetizers. The flautas were very good. The chips and Queso were just as delicious.

    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.

    Service was fabulous, festive decor, great location but the food was not good. It looked good but it didn't taste good. Friends had apps, I had chili con carne enchiladas. Stick to a beer and maybe some guacamole.

    Ceviche menu

    The food here was over all great, definitely needed a nap afterwards. The queso fundido with chorizo is essentially a meal for one with 4 corn and/or flour tortillas you can do half and half. The tostada and the sope were one each but very filling with delicious braised meat. Carolina who served us was delightful, she was quick and easy to order with. The place was definitely a vibe, the outdoor was next to the river, the decor was festive for November and had a great out door bar. This is definitely a happy hour spot for next time I'm in San Antonio, the location is PRIME! Right next to hotel Emma, which has a nice walking area and dozens of little local shops with coffee, pastries and so much more.

    They are on the pricey side, for sure! $80 for two margaritas, queso, and Campechano. With that said, service was friendly, the food tasty, and the location right next to the Go Rio shuttle stop made it a quick in-and -out. The Campechano was absolutely LOADED with seafood! It had a bright punch of acidity. Their salsa has a flavor that is very familiar but that I can't quite place. It's worth a stop if you are catching the shuttle, fo sho!

    I am spending a couple days in San Antonio and on the recommendation of our Trolley Tours Bus driver I hit up La Gloria for some dinner. I ordered the verdes enchiladas and a margarita. Both came out pretty quickly and were delicious! It was super cold outside, so I at inside and not out on the patio. Next time I'll be sure to come when it's warm outside. The margarita was wonderful! Even the beans and rice were great. I would definitely recommend La Gloria!

    What happened to the amazing on tap sodas? Mexican Coke is good but those on tap cokes were the best! I'm not a drinker but I love my soda selections. Love la glorias!

    Do they accept apple pay?

    No.

    Do they allow dogs on the patio?

    Yaaaaassssss!!!

    I called the restaurant and they suggested I "register" on Yelp in advance of coming in tonight. How do I do that?

    If you go on the La Gloria page on yelp (just type it in the search box ) towards the top it has a little box that tells you what the current wait time is. If there is a wait it will have a button to join the waitlist. If you don't see it now there… Read more

    I have been here several times. It's one of those staple tourist places that you have to visit when…read moreyou are in town. Service is fast, place is decently clean for the foot traffic, the servers all look happy and eager to work. I ordered tortilla soup, I usually like it with a cup of rice and avocado like most places serve it. However, I definitely think this is a safe Mexican food restaurant when it comes to not overdoing it with spices and the extra stuff. My soup had a decent amount of chicken. I had a mimosa, loved that they used fresh orange juice. Flour tortillas were delicious! Before heading out you need to have the sweet bread!! So goooodd!

    People say when in San Antonio, do like the San Antonian's. Nobody really says that. I mean, I just…read moredid, but I also just made it up. With that being said, let's make up a review. Except I'm not actually making the review up, I've been to the place. Both San Antonio and the restaurant moments away from being reviewed. I'm always down for solid Mexican food. It's always pretty damn good. I mean, at the pure base of things, it's basically the same few ingredients, just different vessels to get it to your mouth. I'm never bad about that. I love transportation. Mi Tierra was a pretty great looking place. Plenty of space, a nice outside waiting area, plus a bakery. I have never been to a place with a bakery that I didn't like. It seemed like a very authentic place, and that's coming from a resident of Michigan. A resident that eats Taco Bell. A resident who eats Taco Bell and think's THAT'S authentic Mexican. The first thing I noticed was that this place did not seem to serve burritos. Not a marker really for me, but it was something I've never came across before. I also thought that you were stuck ordering enchiladas or tacos in a meal type of setting. Upon further questioning, you can order a la cart. That was a relief. I ended up ordering the enchiladas Verdes because sometimes I ignore my color palate and go for green. And because I can't just stop eating one form of meat, cheese, and sauce, I ordered a taco. Actually, I just ordered a taco because I wanted a dryer enchilada. Or did I order the enchiladas because I wanted a wetter taco...I don't know anymore. Anywho, I ground beef, American style taco. Now, I've always been a big fan of chips and salsa. Some salsa hits, some miss. Some salsa is pureed and is basically red water. Some salsa is just a full tomato. I like my salsa like I like my orange juice. With extra calcium. Wait. Mild pulp. That's it. This salsa pretty much hit those notes. Had good flavor and a little spice left to linger. The main course came out and everything looked delicious. Green enchiladas looked exactly like I expected. However, it took me a moment to realize I was not looking at a burrito...but instead, my taco. It was served a peculiar way. wrapped, seam down, with a little bit of the meat on top, pico and lettuce on the outside, next to it. It was a burrito peacocking as a taco. I've never seem this display before, and I have been to many Taco Bell and non-Taco Bell restaurants. The taste was pretty good, though. All the taco flavor in a burrito jacket. The enchiladas were pretty decent, too. Everything tasted like it had all the ingredients and that they were in all the right spots. No doubt about it, I was full after e

It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
