    Always have an excellent meal here. Love the carne asada! The steak is cooked perfectly and has a tasty chimichuri on the side. All their uses of black beans are delicious also, especially the chip dip. Prices are also very reasonable

    The salmon costeno is delicious, it's my go to. I've ordered it prolly 10 times and it's consistently wonderful. The salmon is always flavorful and juicy, and the side of vegetables that comes with it are always cooked to perfection. The chips, salsa and black bean dip and always good. Order the platenos fritos *chefs kiss* it's sweet, but not overly sweet, and I don't like sour cream but I somehow the plantains and sour cream marry beautifully. I've never had an issue with the staff, everyone has always been kind. I even had a birthday dinner there once. 12/10 will dine again.

    Gloria’s Latin Cuisine is a place I genuinely love — it has become a mandatory stop every time I travel there. The pupusas are always outstanding, the queso fundido with chorizo is absolutely glorious, and the snapper fish tacos are consistently delicious. It’s one of those spots where the food feels comforting, flavorful, and reliably good no matter how many times you go.
