    Beef fajita, crispy tripas and carné guisada tacos
    Sophina M.

    Stopped in for lunch upon several recommendations in a restaurant group that I'm in. All of the food that we ordered was very good but the posole and carné de puerco con chilé taco were OUTSTANDING. I was very much reminded of the food back home in New Mexico. The taco is what we call carné adovada and it was amazing. It was a busy brunch hour but the server was fast and efficient. The restroom was clean and if you have a friend with you, the restrooms have 2 toilets lol We will be back soon and often!!

    Decorations, chandeliers, beautiful ceiling fans.

    Great service, the food is absolutely delicious, and their paintings on the wall are beautiful!

    The bright orange building is unmistakable from the Hildebrand/Blanco intersection. We stopped by because we had a craving for texmex enchiladas. I was not very impressed. The enchiladas were very small and lacked flavor. I also ordered tortilla soup to go. The soup was flavorful and full of vegetables, avocado and cheese. I probably will not return to this restaurant again. The floor was full of customers that appeared happy with their meals.

    I love Fina's!!! I went for breakfast with a couple of my friends and we knew as soon as we walked in that we would have a great time. Warm environment, friendly staff. Our waitress Leo was very animated, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. She definitely made our experience special! I'm a sucker for breakfast tacos and there's were great! Their flour tortillas are bomb. It was my birthday and my friend told the staff without me knowing and I was shocked how big of a deal they made birthdays. I wasn't expecting it at all since this is more of a hole in the wall type place, but they go hard! They BLASTED a happy birthday song, had a cupcake and birthday candle, a sombrero, and confetti. The staff sung and clapped and the whole restaurant got involved. They made me feel very special, I would definitely return here for a friend's birthday. Definitely would recommend this restaurant!

    Wishing you a a happy day and God bless you all.

    I'm not even playin' when I give this place 5 stars! Mis abuelos have been coming here for years and for good reason. The food is amazing... and ridiculously cheap. After a long day of shopping on Black Friday, we were all in need of some tasty grub. After dropping off tons of bags at my grandparents' house, we headed to Fina's. This place isn't fancy, but it's not a dump either. It's nice enough for a very casual date, casual biz lunch or dining with the fam. Look around to find youngens on lunch break, regulars chowing down on the regular and others who are in the know with this Mexican oasis. (That's you now.) Lunch specials are abundant offering a plethora of items under 6 bucks. Their menu consists of many different tacos (breakfast too-yum), caldos, enchiladas, salads, and many other AUTHENTIC goodies. We had a very nice waitress who seemed to really love working there, plus she spoke Spanish to my abuelita so I thought that was very sweet. I had a combo plate that involved a puffy taco and cheese enchiladas. There was not a scrap left on my plate.. and if there was my brother ate it. The chips and salsa that they bring to the table are the best I have ever had. Really. The best. Also the best.. really... are the tortillas. They are served hot, flaky and puffy. Check the pics, and you will see what I am talking about. You have to try this place. Oh! They are only open until 3pm!

    Holy wow.

    Logan V gave Fina's 5 stars, so when I was in the area in need of lunch, I knew his recommendation would not lead me astray. I would give Fina's 15 stars if I could. It was exceptional. Plus, anytime all the reviews for a Mexican restaurant in San Antonio compare it to the yelper's abuelita's cooking, you know you have to give it a shot! So, parking is very tough to come by. Not because the lot is particularly small, but more to do with the fact that it is packed all the time. Also a good sign, no? I found a spot and made my way inside where I was met by fellow yelper and we sat down to enjoy a fantastic Tex-Mex meal. Their lunch specials range from $5.99 to $8.99. I opted for Enchilades Mexicana. WAY too much food for one person to eat all by their lonesome. But, so delicious I tried my best. The red gravy and queso fresca on top of the enchiladas was my favorite part but the beans and rice could easily take 1st place against most places I've been around town. And I've been around... The salsa verde was so spicy and delicious I could have eaten it with a spoon but thankfully the bottomless basket of handmade chips kept showing up at our table so I didn't have to. All in all, I can't wait to go back and will certainly add this to my regular rotation! Thanks Logan V!

    The food is always great. There wait staff is very friendly. The only thing I can complain about is the noise level. It is super load in there. I would recommend you making a stop for the food.

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!
