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.

The mole chicken enchiladas were amazing. Very flavorful and the presentation was spectacular. Great house marg as well, happy hour prices made it better and it wasn’t too strong! The salsa had more of a mole flavor to it which I liked, very unique I came in on a time in between lunch and dinner and the vibe was perfect. I got a table outside overlooking the river. The restaurant’s outside area is well done 👌 I can see why this is a top rated spot in San Antonio

Our dining experience commenced with indoor seating, where the temperature was around 78 degrees, slightly warmer than ideal. In retrospect, the Walmart portable air conditioning unit nearby should have indicated that the air conditioning system was malfunctioning. Chef Johnny Hernandez's Mexican recipes did not align with expectations, particularly considering the high prices. The $28 carne guisada in a molcajete was not accompanied by rice or beans, and the rice lacked flavor, with no apparent inclusion of corn or tomato. The charro beans, priced at $8, tasted more like canned pinto beans with pico added, which seemed excessive. While the corn tortillas were not authentic, the flour tortillas were decent. Unfortunately, the bistek was dry and tasted similar to beef jerky. A meal at Taco Jalisco would have been a more cost-effective option, considering the $140 total for dinner.

I visited here for the first time recently during a visit to town. I was with a group of seven. The vibe is nice and inviting. The staff was very friendly. We ordered a variety of things: Oaxaqueñas, device, al pastor tacos, bistec tacos, guacamole, chile con queso, refried black beans, and cocktails - house marg, ranch water, flavored margs, paloma, mojito. Everything was hit or miss. Nothing was terrible but everything - drinks included - was either REALLY good or just okay. For us, what made something really good was having it be flavorful. For example, the charbroiled beans and guacamole needed more flavor. We added lime and they both tasted much better. The Oaxaqueñas was so flavorful and delicious. So was the device. The meat on the bistec tacos was dry but the tacos didn't taste bad. I'd come back and try a few more things on the menu, to have a solid line up of regular choices. The prices were fine. We were there during happy hour, so most drinks were reasonably priced.

We had attempted to eat at this La Gloria restaurant. The way the entrance to it is confusing if your not coming in from Grayson St. Otherwise, good luck getting into parking lot. Plus it's free to park and eat here before 3:00 p.m Since it at or near The Riverwalk. Anyways we were greeted by a friendly hostess and we were asked if we'd like inside or out on the patio. It was already humidity hot so we ate inside. Also, our server Adrian did an amazing job answering all our questions regarding history of the restaurant and the specialty of the foods we had. We had a variety of different foods. We started with queso chorizo dip😋 and chips, shrimp aguachili and enchiladas 😋 chicken mole sopes. All of it was true mexican cuisine. All was of great flavor. Now that we know when and how to enter the parking lot. It has a calming atmosphere. We will come back for more sampling of the geat food.
