    Chipotle chicken wrap with sweet potato.  Packed with flavor and chicken, I could barely finish it despite appearance
    Irma D.

    Really light but filling healthy options. Huge menu for everyone to pick an item. From smoothies, to salads, to a massive arrachera omelet for protein.

    Veggie Omelette Blueberry Corncakes

    Absolutely phenomenal! The service here is so so friendly and attentive to your needs as you never go with an empty glass of water or coffee. Food was out in a timely fashion and not to mention the food was so fresh, healthy, and delish! Got the veggie omelette with chicken, side salad and the corn cake with blueberries and everything was so good. Portions were huge, certainly didn't leave hungry! A must try if in the north SA area.

    Breakfast Balance Bowl

    Service was spectacular. Menu with lots of fresh and healthy choices,to include vegan options with perfect portions; leaving your tummy filled just right and satisfied. Check out this small business for a meal that is just right.

    BBQ Bacon chicken salad

    This place is located inside of the gold's gym and it's a good find. This place has an amazingly extensive menu- burritos, quesadillas, tacos, breakfast foods, pasta, salads, rice bowls, smoothies, you name it! Everything here also tastes really fresh and healthy, so you leave feeling refreshed and full. I ordered the bbq chicken salad and it was good but they put the hot chicken on the salad and it made the salad hot. If it was just up to my rating, it probably wouldn't have gotten as good of a review from me, but my friends orders were really good! One friends got the céasar salad and loved it. Another ordered the French toast breakfast with a lemonade and she liked it but there either grains or nuts in the toast, so be mindful of the texture. She said the potato's were to die for. And then the last friends got the shrimp tacos with the cesear salad and she enjoyed her food the most probably. I would def come here again! The service was great and everyone's food came out hot and fresh.

    This place was close to where I was working and offered dine in. I Walked in at 11:50 am. Ordered the Angus burger with gluten free bread and sweet potato fries. Inside was relatively clean . They have every other table closed and we're wiping each table down with bleach as each guest left. You order from a counter with the menu on a giant board on the wall. Lots to choose from. Call me old fashioned but I like a sit down with a menu in a place I have never been before. I Always seems pressured to make a quick selection from a new menu as people line up behind you. After you select you pay and have a seat while they prepare you order. My burger was pretty good. The sweet potato was an actual potato, not fries. I liked it a lot. I would recommend this place and eat here again.

    Protein plate

    Food was good. Portion size was good. Overpriced for the quality of food. For being a clean eats restaurant there were many options to choose from.

    The food is excellent and always made with fresh ingredients. Many smoothies to try out. My favorites are the soups and wraps they serve. Also the pear salad is superb.

From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place was special. The atmosphere is beautiful, upscale, and inviting. The architecture and design throughout the restaurant are absolutely stunning. Even the restrooms were impressive and reflected the same attention to detail found throughout the entire establishment. The food was outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. This isn't your typical restaurant experience--the menu is creative, unique, and offers something different. You can tell a lot of thought goes into both the preparation and presentation of every plate. What really made the experience unforgettable, though, was the customer service. My waitress, Kreizon, was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely made me feel welcome throughout my visit. Great service can make a good meal even better, and she definitely elevated the entire experience. The outdoor dining area is also beautiful and creates a relaxing atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a meal and taking in the surroundings. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers exceptional food, incredible ambiance, unique architecture, and top-notch customer service, Domingo is a must-visit. This is more than just dinner--it's an experience. Highly recommended, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in San Antonio.

Electronic dance music pulsed quietly in the background. The toilets were all individual unisex stalls that were classy, mine had run out of hand towels. Also, the entire restaurant is very dimly lit. I had to use the flashlight on my phone to read the menu, but I have poor eyesight so there's that, but it might explain the quality of the photos I took. The Paloma drink was amazing. It had a great spicy zing in the back of the throat after every sip. Queso was... kinda plain. It might have been better with the add chorizo option. It was very thick. Shrimp cocktail was big, but we started fighting over the shrimp pieces. There was plenty of onion and tomato left over after the batttle. Pollo Asado was a great flavor and the chicken was juicy. Grilled squash that was on the side was good. Chicken enchiladas were good and had freshly sliced jalapeños, which is always a welcome detail. I wasn't able to taste the quesadilla but my daoughter said it was "really good". Fried Chicken sandwich had a great flavor and the bacon was actually pork belly if I'm not mistaken. Sadly there was more batter than chicken. The seasoned fries were delicious and crispy.

    Surprised the wife with a trip to Pan Fila for her favorite hot chocolate and concha. We started…read morewith the Pan Fila Conchota combo that is a combination of the two that is 1/2 gallon of hot chocolate made using a base of Abuelitas with additional cinnamon, and cocoa along with something special. It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.

Not sure if the Italian side and the cantina side share the same kitchen, but we will remember to come back and try that side as well. If the Italian menu and preparation is as unique as the cantina's, it will be a worthy adventure. For our appetizer we got the cheese dish pictured. I can not recall the name, but the cheese is a cool light cheese served in a warm tomato-based sauce, topped with slices of fresh avocados and chicharones and was served with flour and corn tortillas. Very delicious! As mentioned in the opening...the menu, preparation, and presentation at Panfila is unique. For our entrees my wife got the chile Relleno and I got the Milanese con Mole. The chile Relleno was served in a bowl with just an absolutely fabulous sauce and stuffed and covered with nicely melted cheese. The Milanese con Mole was absolutely decadent! The tender pork was lightly fried and covered in the most delicious mole that I have ever eaten. The chocolate was a little more prominent in the flavor profile than I am used to; and I wouldn't think that I would like that, but it was perfect! I enjoyed every bite and used the extra tortillas from our appetizer to finish off the mole. Highly recommend anything on the menu that incorporates that mole!! Fantastic place!
