Celebrated my friend Christina’s birthday here and had an amazing experience. The food was outstanding—Verdes chicken enchiladas were flavorful and comforting, the red snapper tacos were fresh and perfectly balanced, and the churrasco típico was hearty and delicious. The complimentary flan for the birthday girl was top-tier—creamy, smooth, and not too sweet.
Our server and the bartenders were on point, the restaurant was clean (including the bathrooms), and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Even the baby had a great time. A fantastic night all around—highly recommend.

BEWARE!
Moldy food was served to my toddler, which is a serious food safety issue. This points to problems with food storage and handling. The situation wasn’t addressed with the urgency you would expect when unsafe food is served, which raises concerns about overall health standards.

I've been to Gloria's on different occasions but this time I ordered their seafood soup. It was AMAZING and just what I needed to soothe congestion. Giovanny's service was top tier. I didn't feel well so his attentiveness was greatly appreciated.

This is a new restaurant that’s located in the Domain. This place is really spacious, cozy, and well decorated for a venue that’s located in the Domain. It’s one of the best spots to dine at when checking out the domain. The staff here are absolutely professional, and they really know how to cook well and make solid drinks. The food is also on a whole other level! The bean sauce is rich and thick, but not too salty. Their carne asada steak tastes so good with the rice that they serve with it. It’s been 20 days since I dined at this spot, and I still think about the food to this day.
