    2 Chalupas Compuestas beans and rice

    This is a quaint Mexican restaurant that has very good food and prices for the amount of food you get

    Winnie and egg
    Michael Q.

    Waitress Veronica was probably best one we've had in a long time very friendly and managed multiple tables smoothly! Good crowd all families who just know the staff, no music playing but everyone talking and enjoying the company so has a great vibe! The Winnie egg is hard to mess up and they do it perfectly - sausage egg was good added the green salsa but didn't really add any flavor - the potato and egg (add ketchup) was the best from the 3 needed a little salt but overall highly recommend!

    Stopped by for a late lunch. Terrific casual cafe in an older part of SA. Lively decor, very traditional colors (see photos). We were greeted immediately and had chips and an awesome red salsa within a minute. Next up complimentary borracho beans. My husband said one of the top 3 maybe top 2 boraccho beans EVER. Iced tea came out while we were reviewing menu. My husband went for the standard breakfast: eggs, sausage and huge pancakes, all very tasty. I had a chicken fajita salad, well balanced with guac and sour cream on top. Added some of their delicious salsa as a dressing. Plenty of parking in front and side of cafe. We were there at 3 pm yet there were at least 5 tables plus delivery pickups. Clearly we are not the only ones who enjoy this traditional Tex-Mex cafe.

    Cheese enchilada and guisada plate

    Seat yourself. Large parking lot. Came for lunch and was not disappointed. Prices are fair, worth coming here instead of fast food if you're looking for an actual meals since there are options you can get for close to the same price. the big daddy nachos are two tostada shells split into 4 with beef beans cheese and bell peppers. On the side it comes with guacamole, sour cream and jalapeno slices. Good as an appetizer or meal. The cheese enchiladas and gusiada comes with rice and beans and is a large helping. My husband and toddler were able to share. Lots of tables inside.

    Bean and cheese

    Had breakfast here today and it was really good! I wasn't too hungry so I got 2 tacos. The best bean and cheese you will ever have and a country and egg that was bomb as well. They were busy so service was a little slow but not too bad since our food came out fast. Lots of seating and place was clean. They also sell sweet bread, candy, t shirts. I will definitely be returning.

    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.

    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!
