We ended up at this eatery when another we were headed to was closed. We arrived for breakfast and found a very attentive serving staff and plenty of room to be seated. There is a separate dining room in addition to the area where we sat. The vibe is distinctly Mexican. The decor, the Spanish being spoken and the menu is very distinctly a visit to a vibrant community. I was immediately drawn to a dish I had never tried but found amazing, chilaquiles. Fresh tortilla chips with chiles, sour cream and I don't know what else. It was fabulous. My friend also enjoyed the same and my other friend got her usual tacos with carne guisada. I ordered unsweet tea and got an incredibly large sized fresh brew. Now while the decor is very eclectic and random Fiesta vibe, it is a comfortable, friendly immersive experience and delicious inexpensive fare.

1 pieces chicken 1 carrot 1 potato and 1 calabasa?? Are you serious?!

1 piece of chicken 1 carrot 1 potato and 1 calabasa?? Are you serious?!! Come on now La Pichanchas you can do better than that or at least you should. This is totally ridiculous.

We were craving Mexican and in the area. Thought we'd try this place out. The place was clean and music was poppin! Overall nice ambiance. We got assisted right away and they bring you chips and queso. Yummy. My husband ordered a fajita taco and Machacado and egg. They were big and he said very tasty. I ordered small menudo which was delicious and our boys got the Mexican plate and flautas. All our food came out quickly, fresh and delicious. The salsas were very good and the tortillas were big and soooo good! They also have great lunch specials and great price point! Enjoy!

We woke up and decided we wanted to eat breakfast with grandson and found this place. Place was full but once inside there were plenty of tables. The tables were beautiful a little crowded inside but still able to move around. We were seated right away and given menus. Our waitress was friendly and was able to get our drinks right away. We placed our orders and it really didn't take long to get our food except for a plate that one took a while and we all had already started eating they probably forgot. During the whole time we ate our breakfast our waitress never came back to ask if we needed anything. We never received refills on our coffee or water. My husband plate was Chilaquiles but when he started eating he noticed it was sour so I told him to let the waitress know it could be the sauce had gone bad well she never came by so he just ate out of plates. Food was missing some flavor not what I expected. I do have to say though the flour tortillas were delicious.

Super good breakfast tacos. Barbacoa or carne guisada are the best I've had at a restaurant in San Antonio. Fluffy fresh fantastic tortillas and really good service.

We ordered chips and salsa ($1.99) they came quickly. The salsa was tasty and not too spicy. I had Shrimp Nachos. There were plenty of them, lots of cheese and the guacamole was excellent, not a lot of stuff added to it. My husband had Carne Asada. It came with beans, tortillas and cheese enchilada. When he asked about barracho beans, Anthony brought them right away. The ice tea was strong and tasty and he kept our glasses filled. Everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. 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! And they have a rooftop bar.

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.

There's a reason La Fonda on Main has remained a San Antonio institution. it's the kind of place…read morethat reminds you why classic Tex-Mex never goes out of style. We kicked things off with the Diablitos, bacon-wrapped chicken with just the right amount of serrano heat, paired with a rich red salsa that had us reaching for "just one more bite." The Huitlacoche Empanadas were another standout, with crisp blue corn shells surrounding a creamy, comforting filling that was both earthy and slightly sweet. For the main course, the Tex-Mex Deluxe was everything you hope for: a mouthwatering pork tamal, two perfectly cheesy enchiladas, and tender, flavorful beef fajitas. We also ordered the Tacos de la Casa, and the fish was incredibly fresh, moist, and seasoned beautifully. Every plate felt like it had been made with care. Of course, no meal at La Fonda is complete without drinks. We spent the evening sipping what may be the best sangria in San Antonio, along with fresh, perfectly balanced margaritas that paired wonderfully with every course. A special shoutout goes to Mel, who made an already great meal exceptional. Her recommendations for both the food and drinks were spot on, she was attentive without ever hovering, and she genuinely made us feel like valued guests throughout the evening. To top it all off, we dined in the gorgeous courtyard. With its lush landscaping, charming atmosphere, and relaxed ambiance, it's one of the most beautiful patios in the city and the perfect setting for a leisurely dinner. Outstanding food, exceptional service, fantastic cocktails, and a beautiful setting. La Fonda on Main continues to prove why it's one of San Antonio's must-visit restaurants.

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.
