“ Staying in Ventura this weekend and felt like having some deliciously cooked menudo. A review of Yelp brought us to Gloria's Kitchen. I am a menudo connoisseur mostly because I have been making my own menudo for decades based on a long time family recipe. For me an excellent bowl of menudo is one that contains bite size pieces of tripe, not huge pieces which usually indicates a quantity batch cooking approach and not a quality cooking approach to making menudo. Also care in eliminating fat from the tripe so that the menudo soup broth comes out savory instead of real greasy. And finally, putting enough hominy ratio and serving the delicious bowl of menudo hot (heat wise) as opposed to just warm. The menudo this morning at Gloria's Kitchen was 100% excellent. It met all my desires in a bowl. Next time we return to Ventura and in the mood for menudo I know where to go. I highly recommend Gloria's Kitchen for menudo! ”
“ Just stopped in for a late lunch. Service was prompt and polite. Served was friendly and engaging. I ordered the chili verde with rice and beans. Delicious and well flavored. Beer was cold and crisp. I sat at the counter and enjoyed my meal. Definitely going to be coming back. ”
“ Nice people. I was hoping that the hot spicy Mexican meal would counteract my deepening existential dread due to the unpredictable advance of highly developed ai enabled robots imminently to infiltrate our entire society. I was happy that the hot spicy Mexican food was handed over in a sincere and friendly manner, which is always wonderful. But my existential dread did eventually return. Regardless, I would unflinchingly recommend Gloria's. The Chile relleno was bangin. ”
“ This has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants. Not only is the food fantastic the margaritas are to die for and the service is always great. I would recommend the fajitas, the soups and the street tacos. Those are three of my favorites, but everything I've had. There has been fantastic if you're in Ventura, you definitely have to go. ”

“ We love Glorias! It has a local feel, friendly staff and wonderful food. Truly a Ventura gem! ”
“ Solid food. Tried their Menudo, which I've never had so hard for me to comment on the quality. it's definitely a little bit different but tasty. Their side of fries were good, fries were soft though though I did do takeout and drove maybe 10 minutes home. The beer plate had tender meat, but wasn't very much liquid which is a little disappointing. Staff was friendly when I did take out. Their margarita glasses looked large overall would go back. ”
“ Food was great, employees attended to me right away. Had a good experience. Employees went above and beyond. ”
“ Epic margarita Fresh chips, not store bought or bag Homemade salsas and family recipes Tons of parking in back Lots of tables big or small Did I mention the Cadillac Margarita? Dood.. The carnitas is terrific. There's gotta be 10 different breakfast burritos on the menu! ”
