    What a gem! Ambiance was quaint, we were a large table and seated pretty promptly. Coffee was very good, hot and served in the cutest coffee mugs. Food was fire! Huevos rancheros, perfectly cooked not runny ordered over medium. Beans were so good, bubbly hot and yummy. Salsa was amazing. Potatoes were tasty, lots of flavor...but the star of the show...and you know if you visit San Antonio you have to have this star...the barbacoa! It did not disappoint, was so good. It was fresh, hot, not a smidge of fat. All meat and so good! Flour homemade tortillas were spot on. Quesadilla was good. Service was excellent, we didn't need to ask for anything really and we were a big group. Great service guys! First time visiting Sandra's, but will definitely be back when we are in town!

    Caldo de Res
    Kalia A.

    I came by after making an order via phone. The restaurant was pretty clean and calm. There wasn't that many people there. As far as food goes, I can't say that I really enjoyed my caldo de res because the meat felt aged and was really chewy. Also, the potato wasn't cooked well or the wrong soup potato was used but I did appreciate that they put a lot of carrots, rice, limes, tortillas, and salsa.

    Papa ranchera with bacon

    Walked in and was seated right away. The room is very spacious and very nice. We ordered and the food came out quick. I had a papa ranchera taco with bacon and my daughter had pancakes. The pancakes were big and very fluffy. My taco was really good as the tortilla was fresh and the papa ranchera had good flavor.

    Complimentary chips and salsa

    A hidden gem. Prices are affordable. Restaurant is super clean and beautiful restroom too. Service is fast, kind and respectful. Very wonderful first experience. The food of course was DELICIOUS. tender, juicy and flavorful. Just needed salt. Loved everything. I recommend the fajitas a la Mexicana, chicken tasted so good. The corn tortillas were just meh. But the flour ones my family had were HUGE and fluffy.

    Having their Enchiladas Verdes & Soft Chicken Tacos w/tea $9.99 special of the day. Lisa is waiting on us (ask for her)

    This place never disappoints they have excellent food, everything is fresh. The tortillas are homemade. The lengua and salsa taco is so good and so is the Chicharrón taco , for about $10 you get a huge bowl of Menudo and I guarantee you cannot finish it all unless you're a big burly man. If you're around the area, I highly suggest trying this place out it's one of the best hidden gems on the north west side of town .

    Grilled Chicken Breast with rice and refried beans. Beans are on different plate.

    Food: 3 Service: 2 Ambiance: 2 I'm going to give this place a solid 3 because the food was good. There was nothing that was super special about the food, the service or the ambiance but it had solid Mexican or TexMex options. I think the waitress must have had too many tables to tend to since she rarely came by and it took longer to get our check than our food.

    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.

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.

We sat on the back patio for dinner on a day when it was 100 degrees out and there were fans all over to help keep the air flowing, which helped immensely. They have some interesting cocktails, such as their jalapeño cucumber margarita which is made with ghost pepper infused tequila. Their salsa tray is nice too, they have 4 to select from and you get three in this appetizer, but we ordered the 4th as well and all were pretty nicely done. The verde was amazing and the roasted tomato was great, just not spicy at all. I tried their combo fajitas and was thankful they came out being simply plated, rather than on the blazing hot, sizzling skillet - I don't need the show, just the good eats. The meats were decent, the beans were amazing. The tortillas were just ok, as I felt like they were way too thick. They offered corn tortillas too, but I'm in Texas, so you get flour, not corn. Save room for dessert, they have amazing churros! Overall, this was a decent visit. Service was nice too. I'd recommend stopping in.

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.
