by Kelly K. on I'm from Dallas. Don't judge. Gloria's is the ONE place that I've missed since I moved to Austin ten years ago. Now, I have my own. I lurve their black bean dip, chips and salsa. Their margaritas are pricey but will knock you on your ass. Every now and again, it's nice to get classy, delicious Mexican food.
by Michael K. on A busy place with a din that makes it hard to hear yourself think. It's actually quieter near the bar. I chose the warm goat cheese salad, and pappardelle with mushrooms and sundried tomatoes in a cream sauce. My wife ordered chicken in lemon sauce with a side of spaghetti. A basket of soft, warm rolls were served upon ordering, but without butter. There's a bottle of olive oil on the table for dipping, but it did not look like extra virgin, and didn't have much flavor. The lightly breaded and fried goat cheese was served over arugula with diced tomatoes and a light vinaigrette. It was good, but not large enough of a portion for sharing. My pappardelle was tasty at first, with good sundried tomato and mushroom flavor. However, the cream sauce was so rich, that once it started to cool off, it congealed into unappetizing glop. My wife's dish consisted of six chicken breast tenders breaded and sautéed in a lemon sauce that was so thick with corn starch, it gave the meat a slimy, gelatinous mouthfeel that was gross. The side dish of spaghetti was telling. How can an established Italian restaurant screw up spaghetti? Alas, it was overcooked, and the marinara sauce was heavily sweetened with sugar, which I find revolting. Also, I had to ask the waitress to find me some grated cheese, as none was offered, but even that did not help the poor, inedible spaghetti. I'd be willing to come back only to try the pizza, which looked pretty good, but the sugary tomato sauce still might kill it for me. Two-and-1/2 stars.
by Kristy Barclift on Sorry to hold a grudge, Varsity, but back in college when I had 20 bucks to my name, one of your cashiers stole money from me. You counted the drawer, only to conclude that I was lying. And of course, your manager believed you. Who would believe the college kid? It was my word against yours. But the 4 bucks you took home was a pittance compared to the money I would have eventually spent. Lucky for me and my health. Your food is some of the nastiest and least healthy brown matter I can find downtown. Your going out of business would probably increase the life expectancy in this town.
