    The food and the staff were amazing. I enjoyed the drinks and even the tea. The restaurant was also very clean and so were the restrooms.

    The absolutely best margarita in Town!  No hassle. The food was delicious! The quesobirria tacos were delectable!  Definitely a favorite!

    The absolutely best margarita on this side of Puerto Vallarta! ! Lacking in nothing! The food was outstanding! I had the quesabirrias! Delicious. No complaints! Don't have a photo of the food. But well Worth my time!

    Omg. This place was the most worst mexican restaurant in San Antonio Tx. First, the place was really dark. My daughter and I ordered our plates which was enchiladas, The plates were extremely greasy. I told the waitress we were not going to eat the enchiladas because of the grease and ordered crispy tacos. When I held the taco it was really dark as you can observe In the picture. As I picked up the taco. It broke and fell apart, I was told by the waitress that they will discount one meal. I then said to bring out the manager and when he arrived I showed him the breast plates and told him we will only pay for the drinks later and have the waitress a &10 tip since she was not the cook. I left there and told them on the receipt any they need to hire good cooks. The plates were bathed in grease and I was not going to eat it and possibly get a heart attack. It was really bad.

    Being greedy!

    The food was great! Hot. Tasty. It was a quiet morning. We went pretty early. They were serving alcohol at 9AM. The only down side was that the waiter took forever to take our order. Took forever to give us get us the check. We basically had to get her attention every time we needed something. Just seemed like she didn't care.

    The BEEF in everything I tasted was absolutely AMAZING! Tender, juicy, and flavorful. I ordered the beef fajitas and it was delicious! Everything was cooked to perfection. The gac was a little flavorless, typical rice, but the bean soup was a nice touch, added a tab bit of salt, and it a pretty good. The queso yellow and thick, definitely wasn't what I was use to, but my mom loved it. There was a small language barrier. The server was attentive, but it took a minute to take our orders. The food came out extremely fast upon odering. The environment was OK. Nothing fancy but the food was good.

    Es un excelente lugar tranquilo para comer y con buen ambiente lo recomiendo, les recomiendo ampliamente las parrilladas y el molcajete de mariscos

    What I like about this place is the options available from food to drinks. They have seafood, typical Mexican food and some other specialties. In the mornings, you can swing by their drive through for tacos and you won't be disappointed. My family enjoyed the tacos dorados, a side of nopalitos (cactus) and the maranito (a mix of meat, seafood, onions, cheese, nopales). The tacos dorados are tacos with potato filling fried and topped with cheese, crema, tomato and lettuce. The order is hardy and can be the main dish or can be shared. The combination was perfect and reminded me of the street tacos in Mexico. The maranito is big enough to share. It has a base of fajitas and shrimp topped with sautéed onions, cheese, nopales and a side of rice, beans and guacamole with either corn or flour tortillas. Their tortillas are fresh. My favorite are their corn tortillas. They are also huge, so if you order breakfast tacos, know they will be big. If you like nopales, theirs are perfect. They are sautéed with onions and have the perfect flavor. Let's talk about drinks. They have a bar and happy hour. Their jumbo margaritas are strong. Happy hour ends at 7, so it's a perfect spot for after work drinks. On a Friday night, karaoke started at 8pm. It was fun hearing people sing. Some were good and some not so good, but that was the entertaining part. Covid: precautions in place include masks on all employees.

    Chips were delicious the food was so so. Especially the wet burrito. Service was hard to understand due to language barrier. The music wasn't loud inside decorations nice.

Pair that with their handmade thick chips, and you're already winning. Then came the mini tacos: chicken, birria, and barbacoa. The chicken surprised me by being the standout, juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The birria followed right behind with that deep, rich flavor that makes you stop mid‑conversation. The margaritas? Smooth, refreshing, and sneaky enough that you don't realize how strong they are until you stand up. What sealed the deal was the service. The staff was kind, patient, and didn't rush me even though I lost track of time chatting on the phone. They even let me hang out until my Uber pulled up. Tlahco isn't just good, it's amazing. 10/10 experience.

    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.

The hostess was a little drab but as I was walked in to be seated, you could feel the upbeat mood.

Also had a side order of fresh handmade tortillas. Paloma to wash it all down. Everything tasted great. My server was excellent. Patient and helpful with recommendations.

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.

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.
