My Huevos Rancheros
R C.

I love my Huevos Rancheros with sausage patties instead of bacon. This is my 3rd Huevos Rancheros I've tried out near home. There's LOTS of these in San Antonio and all of them are mom n pop and so you're guaranteed home-cooked quality. My huevos were perfect. The sausage patties were so tasty. It's seldom joints like these get the perfect over medium fried eggs but I can't complain. I mixed my eggs in with my refried beans...heavenly. Wait staff was hospitable and caring. Restaurant was clean. It's not actually that small as I think it could entertain about a hundred customers. Will visit this restaurant for sure after I have tried all of the more than three dozen places like these within a 2 mile radius from me.

Visited on 2.19.22 I was having my oil changed and the person behind the counter said it would be 30-45 minutes before it was ready. They suggested this restaurant and other shops if we didn't want to wait in the lobby. It was Noon so we decided to get some lunch. It's a hole in the wall and in my experience they usually have the best food. While it wasn't the greatest I've ever had, it was pretty good. Our order was taken soon after we sat down and the order came out quickly but not too much. The tortillas are handmade and the chicken was seasoned but not over the top. Partner enjoyed their meal and let me take a pic this time. If in the neighborhood, I'd recommend stopping by.

Friendly Mexican American restaurant with great breakfast specials. I ordered two lengua tacos, one on a flou tortilla and the other one on a corn tortilla. They were delicious! Meat was so tender and flavorful with gravy. Coffee is good too and waitress was very nice at refilling. My friend had the eggs, pancakes and bacon. It looked good. She said it was.

A hidden gem! I have been living in the area for a few years and had never noticed this restaurant. Don't let the outside run down look discourage you. It is very easy to miss, AND there is now construction in the way. Food is well worth the challenge of finding the place. It is only available for breakfast and lunch. I have only been there for breakfast so far. The food is delicious and the prices are great! I've been sticking to the huevos rancheros plate with sausage patties. Salsa is great, and you get a good portion of beans with potatoes to go along with the egg. Potatoes are delicious! Don't know what they lightly fry them with, but it tastes great. My mother has even gotten hooked on the menudo! Once again, it's a good amount for the price. The small order fills up a pretty big plate. She tends to eat it as is instead of having to doctor it up. You can even ask for pigs feet to be added! Can't go wrong with a basic bean and cheese or bean and bacon taco. Also, I really appreciate that the picadillo taco tastes great AND they drain the meat! Thank you!!! I don't understand why many places do not drain the grease from the picadillo. Who likes a soggy and dripping picadillo taco?! I highly recommend that you give this whole in the wall kind of place a try. I did not give a full five stars because I have not been there for lunch. Masks are worn by all and required to get in. Seating is limited for social distancing. You can always phone ahead and pick up order. My order is always ready within five to ten minutes when I go inside to pick up.

This a great mexican restaurant with really really good prices and excellent service. The strip it's in looks a little run down and shady but the food is worth it - go and enjoy. I would caution that they are more comfortable with spanish although I do not speak Spanish and aside from a little explanation and hand gestures it's never stopped me from getting what I want - how I want it. They are never stingy on portion sizes and have excellent fajitas and hot sauce. Lots of families there in the morning with little kids so dont worry about bringing everyone.

Reviews don't lie and neither does La Puntada. It has a 4.5/ 5 star review so in we went. Man, this place is awesome. From the service to the food quality and quantity to the prices. This is my second visit this week! Plenty of seating available, located n the shopping center. Come on in and get you some!

The best Mexican food place in 78210 and 78223 bar none. The only bad thing I can think of is they close about 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Whenever I travel, I make it a point to visit unique restaurants and experience what a city has to…read moreoffer. Domingo was one of those places that completely exceeded my expectations. 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.
