I finally got to try the new Gloria's and Prosper tonight! I have been eagerly awaiting them opening.
My friend and I went around 6:45 on a Thursday, we were quoted 25 minutes and ended up probably waiting around 45.
I was really disappointed that this location is so bland. The Gloria's off of 380 and McKinney is also pretty bland but had more flavor than this location for sure. As a designer, it always hurts my heart when restaurants go so safe and neutral. Truly not visually appealing at all. There are so many things that they could have done in the bar area and throughout the restaurant to make it more interesting, they definitely failed the mark on design, sad to say. Even the few art pieces were boring.
The lighting was very low, I appreciate the ambience but I can imagine that that is difficult for older clientele.
We ordered a margarita, my friend asked for no salt and was given salt anyway. The drinks are very strong, you can definitely taste the tequila in them. I'm not a huge Margarita fan, but considering they did not have green beer for St Patrick's Day, I decided to give a margarita a go. They did a flavored rim on mine, that had a nice flavor. The bartenders were very friendly.
It took a while for the server to stop by once we finally made it to our table, but he was friendly and had decent follow-up. They served the black bean dip and salsa with chips, great flavor.
The restrooms were nicely done, I liked the sconces and doors, had a nice tailored touch.
The pricing was reasonable. We ordered tamales for an appetizer. They were definitely unique. It was potato and chicken and was wrapped in a banana leaf. My friend really enjoyed them but I thought they were a bit mushy, I'm used to the masa being firmer. My friend ordered the flautas and I ordered the combination plate. We both really enjoyed our meals.
The patio had a pop of color with the neon light, which I appreciated. They also had varying heights of light drums for some visual interest.
In my mind I was critiquing and redoing the restaurant, which is never a good thing. One should be interested and the eyes should be visually stimulated.
I'm a fan of Gloria's, though, and I will be back. But, please, for the next restaurant, MORE...
