    Juan speciality plate

    Juan was a excellent server and recommended us his speciality plate and it was a 10/10

    Guacamole
    Patricia M.

    Here on a Friday, lots of people. Small establishment with a small band of 5 people and a speaker. Yah. Too loud for this place m never the less was entertaining. Food was ok, I personally was not impressed. Appetizers, the guacamole was top notched & noticeable fresh. The pescado chicharróns a large portion, fresh and crunchy. The calamari was pretty good. The tamarindo margarita was a big too sweet. No combo plate of fried shrimps and oysters. So I ordered the fried shrimps, batter was ok. Fries were not desirable, Luke warm. Paella was good, portions enough for 2. The Spicy seafood pasta tasted like it was made with a lot of Valentina, portion enough for 2 The only things I found enjoyable was the guacamole & the attempted entertainment. Personally would not return. If so only for the appetizers.

    Fish tacos
    Mari A.

    We dined during the week close to 5pm. There were plenty of tables available. We were seated promptly. The ambiance is relaxing with pleasant Spanish music in the background playing, not too loud. Tostadas and ceviche were brought immediately, as well as the drinks. We ordered Coctel de Cameron and fish tacos. Everything was good. I was just not impressed. The prices are a bit steep, though. Service was fast and friendly. Personally, I don't see myself coming back. Come check them out for yourself and let us know your feedback!!

    Huachinango al la Nayarit

    This is one of my go spot for seafood. Their food is so amazing. My favorite is the huachinango al la nayarit. Their drinks are great too. The service is always amazing. They have great ambiance as there is live music.

    Huachinango (snapper) with delicious white rice and veggies. It also came with fries and garlic bread.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this seafood restaurant. Portions were generous and the flavor was on point. My husband and I enjoyed the comfortable ambience and friendly staff. Several members of the staff stopped by to make sure everything tasted well. Food was served quickly and piping hot!

    Tamarindo margarita
    Mari R.

    Omg!! First time here and I have to Saigal it was so delicious!! I'm absolutely impressed. I had shrimp cocktail!! Definitely a 10....also had the battered fish and shrimp and oh my.. it was so good!! The drinks were amazing too! I'm definitely coming back

    4/23 - This place is on my list every time I go see my friend at St. Mary's or in the area. Finally got to eat here for lunch and it lived up to the hype. Not very crowded when we got there, but became busier. All the food looked good at the tables, but we were there for the Molcajete Cora. There is some fried corn tortillas, Ceviche mix, and green salsa. This was a great start to the meal with a green salsa that had some kick. The Molcajete Cora comes with Shrimp, octopus, mussels, crab legs, fish, abulone and chopped clams in a sauce that slowly grows to a perfect spice burn. I used the corn tortillas to soak up this great stew. It is a fair amount of food for one person and a good shareable plate for seafood lovers. Service was on top of our waters and making sure the tortillas stayed full. Really enjoyed this place

    Their shrimp is not deveined correctly, it wasn't just one but probably half of the shrimp on my plate was dirty.

    I'm not going to lie, I had always like las Islas Maria's. Their mojarra is the best. We ordered take out and I felt like I wanted Caldo so I ordered shrimp soup. I ordered without the peel to make sure the shrimp was cleaned/deveined. At first I thought it was, then I started finding more and more that were not. About half of the shrimp was not deveined yuk. It seems like a poor attempt at cleaning it .Definitely puts their care and cleanliness into question. I am not trusting their ceviche now.

    Cerveza preparada
    Ellen E.

    My mouth is still salivating thinking about eating here. We came with a group of four and there was about a 15 minute wait. We were seated and brought out some tostadas, limes, salsas, and complimentary ceviche! It was very fresh and not fishy tasting- very good. Our group decided to get the cerveza preparadas with six tecates garnished with shrimp, cucumbers, chamoy, lime, etc. we originally thought it was a little pricy at $45 but omg its a bargain! It comes served on a huge platter with seafood on it including crab and octopus. It's drinks and an appetizer. My husband and i split the paella and half a dozen oysters. The oysters were fresh and just what you would expect. The paella was delicious. Maybe a tad bit salty, but the beer helped with that. This place was really delicious and had large servings and blew my expectations out of the water. We will definitely be back!

    The place was packed.

    This place hits the mark on everything when it comes to breakfast…read more We had the standard huevos rancheros and the huevos benitos. Both were solid, especially the huevos benitos. I'm not a big fan of chorizo, but I do seek out unique variations of eggs benedict, and this one fit the bill, so I went for it. The flavor combination was perfect, and I wasn't overwhelmed with chorizo. If you like eggs benny, give this variation a try. You won't be sorry! The refried beans - I know it's silly to review beans, but these were a bit different than the normal ones we find in SA. They had a bit more texture, unlike the overly blended beans we're used to. Chef's Kiss goes out to these beans! The potatoes - we weren't sure what the seasoning was, but we think it was adobo. Whatever the seasoning is, it puts them over the top as far as breakfast potatoes are concerned. Good stuff! Just a couple of notes: We didn't get tortillas with our breakfast. It might have been an oversight, or our meals didn't come with them. Not sure. The service was great, but depending on the server you get, you might need to know some Spanish. I give them 5 solid stars for breakfast.

The biggest issue which is concerning is all of the birds flying from table to table and through the outside area during breakfast/brunch time of day.

Leads to some concerns about the sanitation & cleanliness while birds are hanging out on half the empty tables and chairs. We could have moved inside and probably would if we visit again.

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.

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.
