It's a Friday night. You've had a rough week at work, or if like me, a long week of law school finals. All you want is some delicious comfort food and a large glass (or two, or three) of sangria. If you're on the Westside, go to Gloria's and all your problems will disappear, if even for a moment.
Large pitcher of sangria - $21 (very large, very refreshing) |
Chicken Quesadilla - $8 |
Beef Taquitos plate - $9 |
Carne Adobada - $12 |
The most popular dish at Gloria's is the carne adobada. Tender chunks of carnitas served in an adobada sauce that is stewed and prepared with much care and love -- what more can you want? Gloria's secret sauce is incredibly flavorful and ever abundant. If you love carnitas, you will not be one bit disappointed in this dish. I rarely do this, but I'll guarantee it!
