Food NetworkAugust 4, 2014Guy's visit on Triple D left him scraping his plate of Adobada, a pork stew with a rich tomato sauce. But Guy says "You will go nuts" for the Seven Seas soup brimming with crab legs and shrimp. Read more
Alice QFebruary 4, 2012Chile relleno was bomb! The pollo ranchero was great too. If you want a little of everything, try the 'plato tipical' for a pupusa, black beans, yuca frita, chicharon, and platanos- Get the plato tipico - a delicious selection of various Salvadorean offerings. It will take you back to your favorite spot in San Salvador (I assume, I've never been there)
Lauren FlurySeptember 26, 2014Try the carnitas burrito, carne abada, and the sangria. You can't go wrong here though...- Food NetworkAugust 17, 2011Guy Fieri, host of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, checks out Gloria's Café, an El Salvadoran place making traditional stuffed tortillas and a pork stew called Adobada. Find more tips at FN Local. Read more
Aadip DesaiJuly 2, 2010Pupusas!!!!!!!!!! The owners are awesome. Parking is tough (gotta compete with liquor store). Don't be afraid to park on a sidestreet. Sometimes there's a wait on weekends.
Carne Adobada + Pupusas are the things to get here. Chicken Tortilla Soup is great on a cold/sick day too.- G-UnitMarch 20, 2012Crowded at lunchtime, quieter after 3:30pm. Gloria closes at 10pm daily. Try the Plato Tipico combo
Elizabeth L.January 21, 2013Carne adobada. Get the Mexican tamales >> Salvadoran tamales. Skip the sangria, tastes like punch.
Tiffany GustanskiDecember 10, 2010Get sangria with whatever you order. And the plantains with black beans and sour cream appetizer is heaven.
Natalia AnetDecember 12, 2011Saw this spot on the food network, had to come in. Amazing sangria and pupusas. Enchiladas and fajitas bomb
Come often and they will remember you every time. The pupusas are awesome!
Andrea IsasiMarch 11, 2010Pupusas, sope de seven mares, and carne adobado are amazing! Service is super friendly. Sangria is good, too.
Ordered online through EatStreet & when I got there they told me the price I paid EatStreet was wrong so they were going to cancel the order on EatStreet & I could pay them directly.
DrinkCobaApril 26, 2011Check out this Mexican / El Salvadorean family restaurant for a sweet find of Carne Adobada!

Jorge MFebruary 24, 2012It's nasty, bad service, at least have a whole menu for the Salvidorean not just 3 things. Why call something that you are not.
