- MHMaia HRNov 14, 20255.0We stopped by for lunch and were genuinely impressed by how amazing the lunch menu is—fresh ingredients, generous portions, and great flavors all around. But the real standout is the kids’ menu. At just $6.99, it includes an entrée, a side, a drink, and an ice cream dessert. You simply can’t beat that value anywhere else. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and came out in huge portions, making it a fantastic spot for both adults and families. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the food exceeded expectations. We’ll definitely be coming back!
- RRRhondaNov 10, 20255.0This location in Baybrook mall is nice with a covered enclosed patio , small seating area, large bar with additional seating on the other side. I've had this dish before in Arlington, really good both times and the bean dip really fills you up, Great service!
- MBMykhailo BaraniiNov 8, 20255.0Absolutely best beef fajita tacos, tried it on combination plate, so it’s only came with one:( don’t do same mistake get a plate with 3 tacos and you’ll definitely be back
- MTM TNov 2, 20255.0Primera vez visitando este restaurante de tantas veces que e estado en baybrook mall y quedé completamente impresionado y ricamente satisfecho por la comida, la atención, el ambiente, el servicio y la limpieza. Y el precio es otro punto importante y lo más honesto es que no te agregan el tip como otros restaurantes que ademas de pésimo todo y los precios súper altos y te atienden de mala gana tienen el descaro de agregar el tip, en fin. Fue una excelente experiencia comer en este restaurante que de hoy en adelante será mi restaurante favorito. Recomendable 1000%
- LLLisaOct 24, 20251.0I’ve visited multiple locations of Gloria’s (both Houston area) and Austin location. The server was friendly at first but his attitude change immensely. In all my years of dining out I’ve never had a server come back to tell me after placing a happy hour drink before the end of happy hour to say “it’s now too late”. It’s not my fault you waited several minutes to put in a second drink that put us past the 6 pm cut off given the POS system was right across our table. You could tell Elmer wanted me to simply say sure I’ll pay regular price, which I would have if I ordered after 6 pm. It took 15 minutes to get my drink and it was clearly sitting for 10+minutes. (The drink had excessive foam at the top of the drink that my first drink did not have along with the bartender not making any drinks for many minutes because it was so slow and I was watching) It’s a shame because I’ve celebrated birthdays and brought friends throughout the years to Gloria’s as a great authentic restaurant. Times have changed and I should have to get the manager involved to get a resolution. Once this resolved, the manager checked up on our table more than our server. I will think long and hard about visiting this location again especially given the variety of restaurants in the walking proximity.
