    Blanket notice to rip off customers.
    Steve G.

    Good food but bad service and dishonest charging. I ordered the paradilla for one. I pointed at the item on the menu and it should have been $15.99. Food was delicious. However, it took half an hour for waitress to come by and give me a to go box. I am still okay at this point, but then I went to pay and they jacked the price up to $17.99. I opened the menu and pointed at my order and cashier told me prices changed and there is a notice on the door. That signed is just their way of making it legal to bait and switch their customers.

    Michelada, Fruit Cups, menudo

    I will always come back to this place. The biggest, tastiest chamoy Micheladas with the perfect amount of spice and an amazing variety of beer. The sweetest ladies waiting on you, making sure you get everything you need. And the most inviting, homey atmosphere with tons of people just enjoying their lunch breaks. We love it here, and the pro tip is to use the walk up windows in the summer for refreshing fruit cups and aguas frescas.

    Chips 5/5 Salsa 3/5. Not bad but something a little different Rice 5/5. Great taste, fresh and perfectly cooked Alambres meat 4/5. I'm sure there are other people out there that will give this a 5. It has bacon in it which I don't care for and wish the waiter had told me that when I asked what all was in it. Otherwise the grilled flavor is great and it's juicy, but the bacon is just weird!

    Beef soup.

    This place was outstanding... We stopped in for lunch while on business in San Antonio. The restaurant is pretty large, but a bit dated. We were promptly greeted and seated. The servers were really friendly, took our orders quickly, and the food was out in less that 15 minutes. The food itself was amazing... Really like the chips and salsa, which were no doubt house made. I ordered the street tacos (carne asada) and they did not disappoint. This was some of the best Mexican food I have ever had... Will definitely be back when in San Antonio.

    Mini tacos aka street tacos. 3 Pastor Taco and 2 Taco De Asada.

    The service was great !! Our server was on point with everything. Even gave my grandson a fruit cup for being his cute self!! The food was fresh and delicious. Rice was a big hit for my 23 mth old he wanted to eat all of it. The beans were very good. Better than mine. They have a great variety to choose from. I wanted street tacos but inside an air conditioned restaurant. They delivered. Fruit there is fresh and sweet. So are the aguas frescas. Yum!!

    Do they even wash the apples before applying the candy? This candy apple still has the sticker under the coating and it's cracked.

    Been here before for fruit cups, Mangonadas, Fresas con crema, Mango on a stick, elite and this time we are in the restaurant. We were directed to a table and waited a short while to get order taken and food was fresh when served but not quick service. After our food was served, waitress only came by once and that was because she was at table behind us and we called her over. We had to get up and ask for drink refills and to go boxes and then, we never got a ticket, we had to walk up to cashier to get our total. We walked out and ordered Strawberries with crema, fruit cup and a Mango, fruit here is on point and love the aguas frescas and everything looks so pretty in the case! Frutería side is my favorite.

    Toke my mother and a friend of hers to eat at this place the other day, for starters they have a sample of the specials for the day as soon you enter, as you can see are several such as: Flautas de pollo, albóndigas, enchiladas, asado, etc My mother ordered fajitas and her friend ordered a Chile relleno which was in the special as well I ordered "el Popeye" which was in special too and is pretty much chicken with vegetables such as spinach hence the name, squash, bell peppers rice and charro beans with your choice of tortillas. Service was excellent the ladies had a great attitude and were very attentive with us. Price was pretty good not so expensive. I need to mention this is a restaurant and there's a snack section inside you can order all kinds of traditional Mexican snacks from corn in a cup, fresh fruit and paletas de hielo!! They have fresh waters and more! In the middle of the meal was a person an old man (bless his heart) entered and sang to everyone, one song I don't remember what but was a nice ambience the person left and the place was just fine not so full but enough people to enjoy, Ambiance was good!! I didn't had a chance to take a picture of our own plates we ate them fast enough lol, I totally loved the chips an salsa that are complimentary. It was a nice meal and we would get back

    Torta

    Mexican food shouldn't be expensive and this place proves it. Pretty good prices for the amount you get. Don't expect gourmet meals. Just plain Mexican dishes. They also have fruit cups, tamarindo covered apples and many other goodies. I had a torta and shared nopalitos (cactus) tacos. The torta was a good size. They weren't skimpy with their avocado. The tacos were huge too. The nopalitos has a very good grilled flavor. The service was not the best I have ever had, but it wasn't horrible either. They have their own parking lot with plenty of parking

    Need to come back for the fruteria

    Stopped in to grab a couple of tacos before heading to the Missions ballpark for a game. Drove by the place before and it just pulls you in for some food, frescas, and some de frutas. Service - I went to the register to order to go. The girl behind the counter was nice and took the order. It was quickly delivered as I drooled over a table next to wonderful looking plates of food and the other side where a man ordered 12+ vasos de frutas that looked delicious. Food - My son got the steak taco and I got the lengua and pastor. The tacos were full of stuff for a couple of bucks. Lengua had some good flavor and the pastor was matched perfectly with the provided onions, cilantro, and limes on the side. Tortillas were solid and held in the flavor. Atmosphere - It is a colorful place that is large enough for groups or perfect to sit in the corner on a date. There is an order window outside for the frescas, frutas, and shakes. Parking is a little tight, but manageable. Overall - Worth checking out this place. I didn't think the prices were that high as other reviews and seemed to be a ton of food on the plates I saw around at other tables. The menu is extensive and had some choices you don't see at other places. I will definitely come back earlier next time to sit down and enjoy another plate of their food and get some fresh desserts on a hot day!

    Mmmmmmmmm

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.

    This rather unassuming and unique cantina, was certainly a diamond in the rough. They split the…read moreplace with an Italian restaurant. 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!
