"it was not in gloria in a LONG time. (pre covid) we wanted to be in the opposite for dinner, so decided to eat an old favorite. (as in bishop arts original location old favorites. we sat immediately and, while they were busy, there were many tables available. they had a sign that the terrace was closed because they were short workers, but they want to sit outside when it was over 100 degrees! the dining room is a large open room so there was a lot of background noise. it was hard to talk so I wouldn't recommend it for a romantic evening or a business meeting. but it was lively and busy and this is good to see after what covid has done to the industry. my wife started with a margarita. they don't make happy hour, but the price was reasonable and it was very strong. they don't care about the alcohol. She said it was good, but she couldn't finish it since she drove. I love the pupusa, so I ordered them for an appetizer. there are three to one order and they can get cheese, pigs or a mix. I thought I remembered they were about 3-4 inches in diameter. what we got were three big saucer size pupusas. (See the picture I uploaded. they were as good as I remembered, but we couldn't eat much by coming to the store, so we brought them home for another day. my wife had the spinat enchiladas. they came with tears and bored. she likes spinat enchiladas so she ordered the one amount and said that this was very good. she could only eat about half of them (big portion, so she has another food for this weekend! I had the cheese chile relleno with tears and buzzing. I always order chili rellenos when I get a chance. this was good and my only suggestion for an improvement was that he would have cooked more. a part of the pfeffer was still very crispy, which I didn't care. our waitress was very good, although she was very busy. the chips were good, the black bon dive was as good as ever and the hot sauce deserved this name. pretty sharp, but it should be. overall we are glad that we have gone and that gloria has made it through the pandemic and still served great food."

"If you first notice in you that this is not your run of the mill Tex-Mex restaurant. It is very tastefully decorated. It has a very chic and modern decor that distinguishes it from your other places. It is also to be noted, it is not Tex-Mex as well. It's El Salvadorian. When we arrived on a sunny Sunday afternoon, it was busy, but they were not waiting. We were greeted by a friendly hostess. She asked if we prefer inside or in the courtyard. Of course we wanted to take advantage of the beautiful day and decided for the terrace. The terrace is immense. It is easily one of the largest in Fairview. It overlooks a fountain where children walk and play in and also the community gardens of the nearby apartment complex. It is such a beautiful place to spend some time and unwind before you return to work the next day. They bring a basket of crunchy tortilla chips, zesty wicy salsa, and black bean dip. We drove all the basket up and I didn't feel guilty because they were so good. You have $1 mimosas. Do you say... 1 mimosa? They are refreshing during a Sunday brunch. The brunch menu is great. It has all my favorites huevos rancheros, Chilaquiles and Sopes. I chose the chickenpee. It is two handmade corn tortillas with pinto beans, shredded chicken with salad, guacamole, sour cream and queso fresco. I asked for a page of Jalapeños. It was amazing. The Hubby had the Mexican breakfast Burrito. It is filled with rosemary flakes, scrambled eggs, cheddar and bacon. It is served with pint beans and mixed fruits. He was in heaven! Our server was very attentive and checked us several times during our meals. The front of the house manager even came by and asked how food was. This is first-class service. This is a fantastic brunch spot it is relaxing, good food and a fantastic way to finish your weekend. On the way out, I noticed that they have a really big bar area. I think it just expanded. It would be fun to go on Friday or Saturday night."
