    Cheese Enchiladas Plate (3)
    Bailey H.

    Listen -- I don't ever want to hear any Tommy's slander. Yes, expect it to be busy, because this place earns it! Think sit-down Tex-Mex, southern sweet tea served in a large to-go cup, and plates so hot they're almost too hot to touch. Nothing fancy, just reliably good food that hits the spot. Some dishes stand out more than others, but you can never go wrong with their enchiladas -- always a safe and delicious choice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's usually crowded, and yes, it can get loud, but the service is always kind and welcoming -- they make you feel right at home even in the chaos.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My heart wants to give this 5 stars, but a few little inconsistencies keep me at 4. Still, it's a San Antonio classic I keep coming back to.

    Steak tacos
    Julie S.

    Business was recommended by a friend and I can't be more glad we went. It was delicious. The breakfast tacos were amazing and the tortillas were so delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice little casual place to try.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely go back. Barbacoa was also really good. Service was fast and friendly.

    Piece of plastic found in taco

    I went and got some breakfast tacos after work. While eating my bacon egg and cheese, unfortunately I bit into a piece of plastic that was located inside of my taco. Fortunately I didn't consume this unknown piece of plastic. Hopefully the cooks will see this and be more careful when preparing food. Tacos were good nonetheless but I guess check the insides before you eat it or give it to a loved one. Unfortunate situation and ruined my appetite.

    Potato & egg
    Anna Marie S.

    Got 2 bacon & egg with extra cheese, 1 potato & egg, and 1 bean & cheese. You call in your order and wait in line until you get to the front door, not the best setup. The line blocks several parking spots, and exiting is a bit of a challenge. A worker asked for my name, went inside, then came back out with a bag with my order. She took my card and took my food back inside as well. She didn't bring the food or my card (and receipt) back until after she brought the food for the car in front of me. Kind of strange thing to do.

    Great food always . One of the best for simple Mexican food. Not sure why this isn't above a 4.0

    Puffy Tacos
    J E.

    Stopped in here one weekday for lunch... this place was packed at lunch time and people kept shuffling through for carryout too! They have pretty friendly and helpful service, which is always nice. Their menu is standard and very reasonably priced. I tried puffy tacos for the first time and they were great! The tortilla that was fried was perfect, not too crunchy to where it would fall apart, just perfect! The meat in the beef was decent, but the meat in the chicken one was bland. Their nachos are unique, as they are individual tortilla chips with each one topped with meat, etc. Salsas was nice - spicy and fresh! Overall, I liked Tommy's and can see returning!

    Triple threat! (Our typical order) carne guisada with cheese, barbacoa, chorizo and papa
    Erica V.

    Always a hearty and welcoming experience. You definitely get the biggest bang for your buck on everything on the menu! Texas taco staples and homemade style tortillas are hands down the best quality and the reason I'll never be skinny! The staff treats everyone like a regular and they keep calm even in the busiest times! The food is always consistent and goodness for the tummy!

    **For this review and more follow my insta @dish_360 The Good: I love Tommys I'm a big fan of their carne guisada with cheese. If you're looking for a soup their menudo is a good choice too.Serving sizes are normally pretty generous and they've recently completed renovations to offer more spacious accommodations. . The Bad: We tried the lengua and I wasn't in love with it. The sauce didn't have much flavor to offer. In all fairness, it's the only thing I've eaten there that I didn't enjoy. I've been here several times and on occasion food gets served colder than it should be. It's always rectified but those inconsistencies keep it from being a 5 for me. Not to be picky but when you're hangry and you have to wait to get your stuff warmed or remade it kinda hurts The Aftermath: I love super complex meals but it's nice to have familiar comfort food from time to time. If you enjoy tacos I highly recommend this place. The servers are typically very friendly and the food is great. Expect to leave FULL. **For this review and more follow my insta @dish_360

    juevos rancheros (scrambled) with a side of carne guisada.  Note: I added the pepper; it didn't come that way.

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.

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.
