This section of Madison definitely needed an authentic Mexican restaurant and they got it with delicious Gloria's. We started out with the complementary chips and salsa - the salsa had a slight heat to it, which was perfect. We tried the chicken mole enchiladas, two tacos (one carnitas, one pastor), a vegetarian gordita and a side of rice/beans. Everything was well-prepared and flavorful. I'm going to give the win to either the pastor taco or the enchiladas, but it all was super tasty. The one thing they're missing (at least in my opinion) is a taco plate. Ordering each component a la carte brings the price a little higher than most Mexican restaurants.
The space itself is very bright, cheery and welcoming. The same goes for the excellent staff!
