“ My first time dining at LA Gloria and especially the beautiful outdoor dining. Dinner was served promptly and hot. The staff was friendly and very attentive. We all ordered something different, and each meal was loaded with flavor and with just enough spice. I'm glad we chose to enjoy dinner at LA Gloria and look forward to returning upon my next trip to San Antonio. ”
“ My wife and I had lunch today and the tacos were amazing. My wide had the tacos al pastor and I had the crispy shrimp. Both were delicious. The rice and the carrots beans were a nice addition. The margaritas are great, as well. Service is top notch. ”
“ Delicious authentic Mexican food. A true treasure in San Antonio. This is not Tex-mex, this is puro San Antonio Mexican food. Service is good. Come ready for a chill, laid back meal. Be prepared to wait, but there is plenty to do while you wait. Food and drinks are everything you want on the Riverwalk, that’s actually upriver. ”
“ La Gloria by the Pearl is such a cool spot to hang out! The patio is super relaxing—big shady trees, fans to keep you cool, and an awesome view of the river and little waterfalls. You can even spot turtles and birds while you eat. The food is solid, classic Mexican dishes, and their fresh-squeezed top-shelf margaritas are a must. Great place to chill, enjoy the vibe, and take in the beauty of the River Walk. It's definitely one of our go-to spots in San Antonio. ”
