    Pancake Plate w/ 2 Eggs & 2 Strips of Bacon
    Angel S.

    Love this spot! Always comes in clutch with value, portions, flavor, and service. I usually come on Sunday mornings and grab a small table to myself or with the kids. They love the pancakes here and I can't get enough of their beans and salsas! This time I got the omelette but I highly recommend the breakfast tacos. See more on my Instagram page @angelfooddude

    Mexican combo plate! Yum!

    The food was excellent! I got the Mexican plate and the enchiladas with the house gravy was amazing. Great salsa and all the tortillas are handmade. The service was great and our waiter was friendly. Would definitely go back.

    I had so many high hopes for this restaurant because all of the other people that left reviews & from a couple of friends saying this place was the best. I left a little disappointed. I have to say parking was easy but I can see why others complain about it. We sat down at a cleaned table as soon as we walked in. Waitress took our drink orders, came back and took our food orders as well as brought chips and salsa. The chips were kind of bland in my opinion, the salsa they provide for the table was very good though! Waitress brought us our food, and after that she kind of disappeared for a little while. It wasn't that busy, there we're about 8-9 tables with probably 4 total servers. I had finished another drink and was waiting for her to bring me a water, and that took longer than it should. But no biggy my friend and I were catching up enjoying each others company. The food was so very bland. I was shocked. Even the beans had no flavor. I was shocked to say the least, even more so because I had red sauce on it too! I'm not sure if we came in an off day, because based on others reviews they rave about this place. But alas, my overall opinion is that this restaurant was very mediocre. 1 docked star for service & another docked star for food quality/taste... maybe I'll come back to try once more, but it will be very low on my list to get back around to do.

    This is a true Hershey squirt taco!

    This don't deserve one star It doesn't let me take away that one star but I had a really bad experience here The beans were water and I asked them for a different taco and they gave me the same taco with more liquid beans on top And I ordered a carne guisada too and it was only two pieces of meat in there with sauce And that taco is like four something! Stay away from this place if you like beans and tacos that don't leak out from the sides when you bite it once!

    Not a lot of people

    Ok so I was really wanting to have sum of my fav which is chalupas r my favorite but I absolutely love cheese enchiladas so I yelp n find this place which I had seen a few times but never stopped so today I went n after reading the reviews I decided on a few things to try. So let's start with walking into this place, I read that the customer service here was above n I didn't get that when I entered nobody greeted me or told me hello n there wasn't a lot of people inside so Im not sure y so moving on, I say hello n place my order: one tripa taco extra extra crispy with avocado, cheese enchilada n a bean n cheese chalupa n that came out to over 8 bucks. The restaurant is pretty big n there he one thing that really sucked was that there were alot of tables that were dirty n needed cleaning n then after I got my order she told me ty n I left, when I got home I opened up my boxes of goodies n the chalupa was delicious the beans were on point n the toppings were plentiful so that beauty went down nicely then I tried the enchilada not impressed the gravy was way too thick n not enough cheese so one bite n I was done NOW that taco!!!! YOOooooo that tripa taco was FIRE!! Crispy n cooked to perfection I would definitely get that again!! Overall this place has potential to b a go to for my favorite things to eat!

    Huevos my way, with patties and guisada, they just take care of you
    D K.

    Savory Sauces & Gobsmacking Guisada abound at this homey neighborhood favorite, and their Home Style Combida & Cooking make you feel good right when you walk through the door and are greeted by several welcomes. When I'm looking for food to make me feel happy with people to match I come and eat here and I leave satisfied every time. Go Get You Some Caracheo's Today!

    Tacos!
    Patricia M.

    Wow! Pleasantly, surprised! This place literally doesn't look like much. Where the restaurant lacks in ambiance makes up in home cooked food. I love tripas, specifically tripa tacos, the problem, hardly anyone in SA makes them. If a restaurant does make tripas, usually suck. So, while in the area, thought I would just find tacos. Woo, this place has tripas & a wide variety of tacos! I usually just eat 1, but I figure if I'm going to Yelp, I need to really taste! So 3 tacos later & I'm miserably stuffed. I can now recommend that you come by & try the tripa tacos, on hand rolled corn tortilla. Ya, baby! When's the last time you had a hand rolled corn or flour tortilla? The tripas literally were amazingly fresh & scrumptious. Cooked as per my request medium, to slight crunch! Ok! Now to try my 2nd favorite taco, carne guisada with cheese. The carne, was delicate, & not tough, cooked to perfection where the meat & cheese melt on your tongue, like butter! Oh, the flour tortilla was hand rolled as well, cooked to perfection. Will definitely be returning here!

    Friday special.   Chicken mole enchiladas plate with double rice and tea.

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.

    This rather unassuming and unique cantina, was certainly a diamond in the rough. They split the…read moreplace with an Italian restaurant. 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!
