Gloria’s Authentic Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Sturgeon Bay

Wow. Very impressed with the food. I believe it to truly be authentic Mexican food. I dined with 2 others and literally everything was delicious. The prices are high, but what isn’t these days. The portions are generous, which helps. I am a big, and even I took half of my chimichanga home. However, I cannot give 5 stars due to the slow service we received. Everyone was very nice, but we were there for over an hour and a half and we didn’t even have any alcohol or anything. Our drinks never got refilled which was a problem especially when eating spicy foods!! It took a while just to place our orders and then a while for our food. Once we were done, we waited a while to get the check. This would have been fine if it was busy, but it was not. We didn’t arrive until 7:30 which is well past the prime dinner hour and the restaurant was half full at best. We were expecting it to be a little quicker. Not to mention we had 3-4 different people wait on us while we were there. I also did not like having to use the handheld POS to mark my tip with the waitress standing right there. Feels awkward. One last thing I should mention, they tacked on a 3% service fee at the end (not for using credit card, just a overall fee) which was ridiculous. Even after all that, we will still probably return in the off-season when Door County calms down a bit to give them one more try. No complains about the food or the delicious salsa, but we would like quicker service and the elimination of the...

After a huge disappointment down the street, we ended up here for our anniversary dinner. An old friend posted about this place once, being owned by an Air Force buddy of his. I messaged Steve and asked if this was the place, he replied "yup, say Hi to German for me"

We went in, realized this was a rustic building with a fresh interior. We got a seated right away. Water, drinks, chips & salsa. Then someone came over and asked if we wanted guacamole. Yes, please!

To which he pulled up a cart and started making it fresh, right there. A first for us, but nonetheless, it was awesome. My wife's palate is a bit more sensitive in regards to heat, so her heart sank when she realized there were jalapenos in the guac. I asked for some extra limes and told my bride that lime juice would help with any heat. For her, it worked and she enjoyed it.

She got the chicken fajitas, I got the Choripollo. Great taste on her dish, not spiced...the cast skillet did the work. Fresh veggies as well. My chorizo was not at all greasy...even though the flavor is usually in the grease with chorizo. Still tasty. Beans & Rice, very good. Overall, thank you to a competitor for driving us to Gloria's. Hands-down, best Mexican food I...

We tried ordering online via toast tab but it wasn’t working. We decided to drive to the restaurant to order. It was 6pm on a Saturday night so we expected a wait. The staff was a bit in chaos since it was busy. We had someone at the front help us place our order. It was a large order (10 people). The person helping us didn’t really seem to know the system. We were told it would be ready in 40 minutes. When we came back, our order wasn’t ready. We waited another 20 minutes. Then we were told that our order was entered incorrectly. It was entered as a in house order and not a take away. We waited another 45 minutes. When we finally got home with the order, everything seemed like it had been sitting out for hours. They didn’t included one of the entrees we ordered. The mango “smoothie” we ordered had alcohol in it. It was not listed that way on the menu. The staff was nice and very apologetic. There were a lot of children running in and out of the kitchen which was strange. There were many other patrons inside that were complaint about service and food while we were there. One man ran up to the hostess station and screamed it was the worst experience of his life! Not a great start to...
