Humble Beginnings
It all started in 1978, Gloria and Jose Fuentes each decided to leave behind the civil unrest in their home country of El Salvador and seek out a better life in the southern United States. In love and inspired, the two moved to Dallas where they worked at a small Salvadorian eatery in Oak Cliff owned by Gloria’s sister. A year later, her sister gave up on the restaurant, and despite having no previous business experience, Gloria and Jose stepped up, seizing the opportunity to turn their love of Salvadorian cuisine and cooking into a life-long career. The first Gloria’s was opened in 1986 in Dallas’s Oak Lawn neighborhood and North Texas is so happy they made that decision.
The fun doesn’t end when dinner time ends. At four locations, Addison, Austin, Houston and San Antonio locations turn into a dance party until 2:00am. Many exciting things await you in a Gloria’s Latin Cuisine Restaurant. Let’s talk Gloria’s food!! So the first thing you will taste are the chips and hot sauce. You will love the bean sauce they offer you! Believe me when I say it is delicious!
Try their amazing appetizers, the Steak Fajita Quesadilla will NOT disappoint you! They are made with Skirt steak prepared with Monterey Jack cheese and flour tortillas. They also arrive with sour cream and guacamole.

Sprinkled with cilantro and queso fresco. Served with Spanish rice and pinto beans.
