Reviews for Gloria's Pupuseria in Staunton, VA
This place was truly excellent. Everything from the chips and dip, to the cabbage slaw served on the side of the dishes, to the... pupusas themselves were incredible. The service was great and the outdoor seating had nice atmosphere and wonderful scenicviews. The prices were also quite reasonable, and the margaritas were very good. Read more
a must stop when in Staunton. love the ambiance, the nice staff, and the delicious pupusas! have to try the other el salvadorian... dishes but the pupusas were yummmy Read more
We were blown away by this lovely restaurant. We?d been intending to go for a couple of years before the flood. We were in the... area recently and chose this over other typical haunts and loved it to pieces. Can?t wait to return. Bartender was exemplary andfood was so fresh and tasty. I think almost everything, if not everything, on the menu was gluten free which was awesome for us. Read more
Finally got to check out Gloria's sit-down restaurant. I came here in a Wednesday night and it was busy and buzzing with locals.... It's great to see people rallying around a local treasure. I've had the pupusas as take out before and they were delicious.This go around I tried the beef Salvadorian enchiladas. They were tasty and reminiscent of tostadas without beans. Read more
Great food! The Pupusas are amazing! Best I?ve ever had. Excellent guacamole. Very friendly service. Terrific atmosphere. The... free on site parking is just a bonus. Can?t wait to go back. Read more
Amazing. Everything was delicious and fresh. The pupusa, tamal and enchiladas were all equally perfect. Don?t hesitate to try... this place. The food is moderately-priced and worth more. ???? Read more
Some of the best pupusas I have had. Definitely worth the hype and worth the trip if you?re from out of town.
OMG!!! I have to rave about this place, 5.5 stars if I could! Gloria?s is one of the best restaurants I?ve been to in years! All... around, it was a sensational experience (first time/first time eating Salvadoran cuisine; but won?t be my last, for sure!), fromthe moment I walked in from my 150 mile motorcycle ride, John, the co-owner (with the now very revered Gloria) and bartender,warmly greeted me and set me up with a booth; my server, Andrea (pronounced with a long-?a?); and tastes of two local beers,which I was torn to decide! But I did: the roasted pecan brown ale - so good, BTW! Next, my immediate and lasting experience oftheir restaurant?s interior appearance and style = upbeat, colorful, spacious, inviting and exquisite! Then, shortly aftersitting down and sipping my flavorful suds, the very courteous and friendly Andrea greeted me, answered my questions about themenu/pupusas, and then took my order (I initially ordered the Loca and Chorizo pupusas - outstanding with the mild green and redsauces). Later, after an order of plantains, I tried the Loroco pupusa infused with a Central American edible flower BY FAR MYFAVORITE OF THE THREE, a unique flavor explosion {but not to diminish the other two, because they were excellent too!}!, andlastly ordered a fresh brewed strong coffee with Gloria?s flan - perfect/yummy!). I admit, it?s kind of hard to place what I sovery much liked about Gloria?s, but everything was basically perfect and good. Tremendous experience overall, the atmosphere waslight, relaxed, pleasant and casual. I will definitely go out of my way to dine here again. It received 4.8 stars, and Gloria,John and the entire staff definitely have earned it. Bravo!!! ????????????Gloria?s!!! Read more
