Wow!! The team here is so welcoming and sweet! Super cute atmosphere (great for a date or a friends dinner), the food was delicious, drinks were great. I had the carne asada street tacos and two different mezcal cocktails and they were just magnificent.

Would absolutely recommend!!

Absolutely amazing! I try something new every time I go and wow, those birria tacos are SO good. Also, recommend kindly asking for a side of the poblano sauce that comes with the enchiladas- the flavor is incredible and is so good with chips, too. Amazing drinks and such a fun atmosphere and vibe. Highly recommend this top-notch spot.

Straight up 10/10 hideaway legit authentic Mexican food. Was lucky enough to be served by one of the owners. If you want real food by region of the owner. I think one area was Jalisco and can’t remember the other but everything was on point. Fresh, fresh, fresh, you would have to fly down to get a better experience. Highly recommended, check this place out and support it so they stay around!

It had good promise. Food under delivered for me. Not your usual menu items and with a unique flair. I was looking for more standard fair. Salsa was watery. Entrance is confusing. It is the bar of the attached restaurant.

This was a really great dinner experience! All of the staff are so friendly and accommodating. The ceviche was LOADED with shrimp with excellent portion sizes. Parking is very convenient with many spaces in their lot. Highly recommend trying this place out!

We went in with high expectations but found the experience somewhat underwhelming. The chicken tinga nachos were packed with flavor and definitely a highlight. However, the fish tacos were very fishy and were only average in taste. While the drinks were well-prepared and enjoyable, they took 20-30 minutes to arrive, after we had already started eating. The service was likely delayed due to how busy the restaurant was. On a positive note, the complimentary tostadas were excellent and a nice touch.

La Gloria in Bothell is the kind of place that makes you wonder why you’d ever settle for less. The poblano enchiladas were a masterclass in flavor, and the cocktails? Works of art—delicious ones. Even the chips, salsa, and guac were standout fresh.

My wife’s carne asada stole the show, with thick, juicy steak and fresh cheese that felt like a secret family recipe. The vibe was cozy, the staff attentive, and the whole experience left us planning our next visit before we even left the table.. This spot is the real deal.

We cannot say enough good things about this place and it was our first time! We must have timmed it perfectly as they also had live music this night which added to the ambiance. The bar decor reminds us of Mexico (Puerto Vallarta) as does the authentic food. When fist seated we were greated by the owner and given a free bean tostata as a welcome. We then ordered chips and salsa and although I didn't expect green salsa, it was better than I could have asked for. Moving on to entrees we got the garlic shrimp and carne asada. This was more than enough food for 2 people yet we had no leftovers! This place is definitely for those looking for real and authentic Mexican and to support a family owned business. We will be back to try the enchiladas, queso and ribeye tacos! Thank you La Gloria!
