The Bronx has closed and there are no plans for it to be a restaurant ever again, but another dining institution popular in the gay community is shutting its doors for good … sort of.
The original Gloria’s in Oak Cliff has been around for 25 years, and spawned several branch locations (among them two on Lemmon Avenue, one just six months ago), but the flagship has always been on Davis Avenue at Lllewellyn. Well, after tonight, it won’t be. Tonight is the final night of service there.
Fret not, however. It’s moving to a new space on Davis, much larger than the oddly mutli-level space that has been its home for more than two decades, with the first day of operation Thursday. Go there opening day and enjoy 25-cent margaritas. And those delicious pupusas.
I LOVED that little place from the moment it opened in the mid-80’s. It was a truly brave low-budget operation in a neighborhood that was pretty sketchy for its day. None of the silverware or plates matched; they used what they could. It was always about the food. I’ll miss going to that little dive location, but thank goodness — it’s still all about the food.
They spent 4.5 million on that new place, but refused to pay the lawsuit Gloria’s lost against Mario…hahaha they are broke
I use to go there but now I go to marios. His food kinda like Glorias but seems better and cheaper. If you ask he will even tell you all the recipes that he uses and how to make the food. he will even tell you how to make that great black bean dip and what makes it so velvety smooth. when i tried it at home it tasted like glorias.
old place only one that is good

I had heard about that lawsuit sometime back and wondered whatever happened. Now I checked and see the Judge threw out Glorias suit. That was stupid of Gloria’s anyway. Made them look stupid to say you have the same enchilada as I do. How dumb, or even dumber the attorney who filed it for them. If Gloria hasn’t paid like mentioned above, a judge will make them pay even more later.
