    Chips 5/5 fresh fried on site Red Salsa 2/5 seems like store bought Green salsa 5/5 fresh great flavor Tortillas 4/5 very fluffy but a little bland Chicken Puffy taco 3/5 my shell was soggy and fell apart, but the meat and shell had a good flavor Cheese chalupa 5/5 fresh and fried on site Enchiladas verdes 4/5 very good but way too sweet for me. It tasted better with some of the spicy green sauce

    Caldo de res with homemade corn tortillas. Chicharron plate

    Great service, excellent food, and authentic flavor. Definitely try the caldo de res. They serve it with rice and homemade flour or corn tortillas!

    Menudo and enchiladas. All gone!

    Puffy Tacos

    Un lugar muy amable y una comida deliciosa. El Puesto 2, comí unos puffy tacos que sabían deliciosos. Les recomiendo este lugar, en la hora del lonche siempre está ocupado, pero vale la pena ir.

    In the area for business and always looking to go where the locals go--look no further this is it! This place does not have a aesthetics going for it and quite honestly if it wasn't for the yelp reviews I would have drove right by! I am glad I didn't! The food makes up any curb appeal this place lacks. The menu is typical Mexican/south Texas fare and cheap! Do not leave here without trying the puffy tacos! I plan to go here again before I leave the area.

    I've been looking for a top-notch authentic Mexican (read: not nasty fakey Tex-Mex) restaurant in the West Side of SA. Found it. Parking lot is tiny, so street parking may be in your future. Interior is typical cheesy, divey real south-of-the border fare, replete with clear plastic table covers (just like my grandma used to have). At 11:45 am, this place was hopping with 95% of the clientele of hispanic origin (along with a handful of anglo workers and military folks): an attestment to the authenticity. Service is friendly and prompt. Menu is impressive. Prices are rock bottom. Chips and salsa were top notch. I ordered carne con chile colorado (which BTW has nothing to do with nasty Texas "chili"). Food is...excellent: presentation, portion size, freshness, and flavor. Flour tortillas appeared to have been handmade recently. I walked out with a full belly for about $10.

    I love these Chalupas del Puesto. They are made with cabbage and lettuce and tomato with asada meat. Yum.

    My co-workers and I frequent this place at least once a week. Awesome Mexican food from tacos, soups or Mexican plates and this place is very inexpensive. Love my Chalupas del Puesto. The waitresses are really nice and helpful.

    Huevos rancheros with a chorizo con huevo taco on the side.

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.

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.
