    Chicken enchiladas
    Kirk D.

    Nice restaurant, clean and festively decorated. First visit since moved from strip mall; quite an upgrade. Lots of tables, plenty of parking. But very loud with little to absorb voices. Server very friendly and helpful. Chips and salsa ok. Food is good, all served warm and well prepared. Great tortillas. Chicken could be seasoned a bit more (pinch of salt!), and the beef dried up a bit on the nachos, presumably when cheese was melted. Rice good, beans ok. Overall a good lunch. Next time will just get tacos to have more of those tortillas!

    This place was a huge surprise but definitely worth the stop. We have driven past this restaurant and never stopped.... Boy were we mistaking. The staff was very friendly and welcoming... facility was open, spacious, clean and decorated very nice. The ambiance were perfect... music softly playing in the background, busy place full of guest laughing, talking and enjoying their experiences. THE FOOD was incredible.. and "everything!!!!" tasted AMAZING! We had the Chili Relleno plate and the Street tacos with chorizo, bacon, and asada which cooked and seasoned perfectly! The charro beans were also amazing and you have to try them! Our waiter was also awesome, very attentive, suggestive and receptive to our questions and request. We recommend this place and we plan to return to try other dishes very soon!

    Saxon Mexican Cafe has truly earned its reputation! I had been eyeing the busy parking lot for weeks and finally decided to experience it for myself. I never get the chance to experience their food from the original location though. From the moment I pulled up last Friday, I was impressed by the immaculate exterior of the building--a gem that's been standing strong since its December 2013 official opening. Stepping inside, the inviting ambience continued with every detail reflecting care and hospitality. From the warm welcome by the hostess to the attentive service by Adam R, our waiter, and the friendly bar and food staff, every team member made us feel right at home. I indulged in their Fish Taco plate--featured as a Lenten special--and was blown away by the explosion of flavors. It's clear they take pride in preparing fresh dishes; the food was far removed from typical fast food fare, with just the right balance of seasoning. I ordered extra serving of their Mole Sauce to find out how good it is, I was not disappointed. My cousin's Enchiladas Verdes also won his heart, proving that every dish here is thoughtfully crafted. They really keep their promise that they are not a fast food restaurant that they prepare their food to order...the taste and quality prove that. Our experience didn't end there--we returned Sunday morning for breakfast and were greeted with the same warmth and exceptional quality. I'm already looking forward to bringing the rest of my family to share in this great home-cooked Mexican food experience. Highly recommended!

    Fajita plate with chicken and Beef Fajita Plate

    Never heard of this place but came for a family member's birthday. Ordered the fajita plate with beef and chicken. It was good but nothing special, the beans and rice were a nice addition but again nothing special. Happy hour is nice the margaritas were delicious! I will give them another shot.

    Food is very good. It's a big restaurant with regulars. Staff know most of the diners. The service is excellent and the tables aren't too close. It's not loud. I have been a couple of times and always enjoyed the food.

    We come to Sazon at least once a week. Always hits, never misses. Food is always hot and flavorful. Staff is always very courteous snd friendly. Nothing but high praise for Sazon.

    Tortilla soup
    Diana G.

    My friend was in from out of town and was craving Mexican food. I had heard great things about this restaurant and know that it is always packed. We did go on a Sunday for brunch and we did wait about 20 minutes to get seated. Our waitress was always on it. We were served chips and salsa right away. Our order was taken as soon as we were ready. I ordered the Sazon special. It is a breakfast plate with two fried tortillas and two eggs made your way on top with beans and breakfast potatoes on the side . I kind of expected the tortillas to be a little bit crispy, but they made for a perfect breakfast taco anyways. My friend ordered the tortilla soup and the enchilada kids plate. The rice and beans were delicious. The enchilada plate was good. I ordered an à la cart pancake. That is the only thing that I thought was not worth it. Maybe stick to the Mexican food at this restaurant. We ordered the margarita-mosa. The addition of tequila is a great idea. A mix of tequila sunrise and mimosa in one drink. Parking is available on site, but it can get full quickly. There is street parking as well. The restaurant is big with plenty of seating. They also have a bar with bar seating.

    This was my first time eating at this restaurant. The tortilla chips that came with the salsa was too spicy for me to even eat. Maybe they need to tone it down a bit or serve a mild sauce with that one . The food was nothing special it didn't really stand out to me. I drove about 15 miles one way to try this restaurant out. The tortilla chips were served in a very small bowl so we ordered another bowl and we were charged for that. Also, I want to mention that I had the enchilada verdes and the tomatillo sauce was very bitter. I had to scrape most of the sauce off of it so I could eat the enchiladas.

    Chilaquiles Mexicana with egg, and carne asada.
    Kimberly C.

    I am from Los Angeles and I have been trying to find authentic Mexican chilaquiles with salsa verde. I finally found a spot that compares and am so excited. They have hand made tortillas, and all of their food is fresh cooked to order. If you are in a rush this place is not for you. Since the food is made when you order everything comes out very hot and fresh. They offer free chips and salsa with their meals and their salsa is so tasty and spicy. We came to eat on a Sunday at 10am and only had to wait about 10 minutes. Service was great, decor was cute, and we are excited to return to try more things.

    Salsa was picosita, loved it!

    Moved to South side. So don't go as often as I did. But this is the best Mexican food on Northside. Everything I have tried is awesome.

The building is new. It's very open with high ceilings, lots of windows and cement floors. There was plenty of outdoor seating. There were only a few parking spaces by the entrance. There was free parking on nearby side streets or paid parking in lots behind the restaurant. We would definitely go back when in San Antonio again. The drink menu looked fun!

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.

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.

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.
