    This review is extremely overdue! Now as someone who travels to Mexico several times a year, I don't hand out compliments like this lightly - the tacos here are absolutely on par with some of the best taquerías I've had in CDMX and throughout Mexico. The flavors are incredibly authentic. You can tell they focus on doing a few things exceptionally well, instead of trying to be everything to everyone. Beyond the food, the service is outstanding. Even when there's a line, it's fast, efficient, professional, and incredibly well organized. The staff keeps everything moving without ever making you feel rushed. If you're looking for outstanding tacos that could hold their own anywhere in Mexico, Taquitos West Ave absolutely delivers. Dare I say it? These may be the best tacos in San Antonio.

    Great street tacos. This location only does tacos. There is another location that does more. Parking can be a little confusion but they do have an area next to it. Service was fast. You do have the option to get your food to go. You will be asked if you are getting your food to go and if not they will offer you a drink and bring it to a clean table for you.

    Bistek, suadero, lengua, pastor (I can't remember which was which).  All delicious!

    I had the pleasure of getting here for Taco Tuesday and for a Thursday when I wanted more. In terms of tacos, this is as authentic as Mexican street food gets. As a fellow citizen of H-town, we have a vibrant taco scene and I would put this place up there with some of my favorite spots I frequented in HOU. Each time I've been here, I've ordered between 8-9 tacos as they are each $2.50. I've gotten a combination of pastor, barbacoa, lengua, bistec, and cabeza. I can't really select a favorite cause they're all so delicious with the meats tender and juicy with a heaping sprinkle of onions and cilantro. Make sure you squeeze the lime on it and mix it with the radish/cucumber garnish they'll throw in there. And don't forget to throw on that green/red salsa they provide. Either eat there or get it to go (which is what I did). Fortunately the tacos travel well as they were still hot when I posted up at my hotel to grub. Don't be discouraged of the long line if you see one as it moves quick. You walk up and place your order, then pay afterwards. It's somewhat of an honor system but there is security present when I went there so that eased my concerns. For drinks, it's either soft drinks, water, or mineral water. No alcohol is served here so if you want margaritas/micheladas/beer, you'll have to go elsewhere for that. No doubt I'm returning next time I'm in SA. Viva Taquitos West SIDE!

    Al Pastor

    Another amazing meal! It's consistent which is a major plus This time it was all al pastor tacos with a grilled jalapeño

    tacos al pastor, lengua, bistec and brisket. grilled onions, cucumber, cilantro and chopped onion

    service is fast, the restaurant itself was clean and the workers were friendly. the tacos were affordable and flavorful. I loved that grilled peppers and onions are easily available. I wasn't a huge fan of the salsa personally they weren't spicy enough for me. would definitely come back, especially after a night of clubbing/drinking.

    My allll time favorite taco place in San Antonio. The flavor of the tacos are amazing and I love the sauces that they have. I would say the tacos are pretty affordable and they give you a lot of meat. My favorite taco to get from them is their Al Pastor tacos which is only served on Friday and the weekends. The service is fast and very attentive. If you need something to drink after you sit down with your tacos they will approach you asking if you would like anything to drink. It gets pretty busy at night since they are open late but people are always coming in and out. You must try this place if you are visiting San Antonio!!!!

    Legit bomb street tacos! This place has got it pat down and shine in what they're known for. Basically, the menu is on the window ordering counter- several proteins to choose from - one side listed in Spanish, the other English. The servers can help place your orders, obtain your drinks, seat you, and get anything you need. All orders come as a plate of 6 street tacos of your choice. I ordered 2 bistek, 2 al pastor, and 2 tongue with all the fixings (onions, cilantro, sliced radishes, and grilled onions). Delicious!!!' The al pastor had the most flavor and was on a trompo. I poured some green salsa on top for a kick. And to go with my tacos, I drank a Mexican pineapple soda. Pay at the register when you're done! It's all on an honor system. From what I understand, this place can get packed in the evenings and weekend, we ate around 2pm on a weekday and it was perfect! I would totally return when in the area.

    My goodness these tacos were very traditional and reminded of us our tacos in San Filipe! They are that good! They only do tacos and they do them exceptionally well! Don't let the line deter you, it moves fast! You order your tacos, 5 to a plate and staff brings you a drink and you pay when you leave. Very casual relaxed spot. Tacos the best we've found!

    Bistec tacos
    Steve G.

    Quick , the service is excellent and the food even better. Just show up, walk to the window and order street tacos, then take a seat. They bring salsa and drinks. Pay after you finish. Busy, quick and delicious food, great service !

    As a native Californian nothings screams tacos like authentic Mexican tacos! And boy does Taquitos West Ave have the best tacos in San Antonio! With an array of meats: Al Pastor, asada, suadero, chorizo, tripas and more. You can't go wrong! I have been here so many times I always forget to take out tired because their tacos are just that good! There's always a line, even if it's long it goes by really fast! The service is impeccable and the food is even better! The salsas range from medium to spicy but they're all delicious. They don't serve alcohol which honestly it's appreciated as it's a family restaurant. They always have music playing but it's not super loud. Will be back very soon!

    Tripas!
    Connie H.

    West Ave Tacos is such a cool spot. The garage building has a great vibe and it feels really authentic. The tacos are tasty and I love their salsas, they really take it up a notch. It seems like they recently upped their prices which is a bit of a bummer and the system of being in line twice, once to order and then again to pay, is kind of inconvenient. Even so, the food and atmosphere make it worth it and I'll still go back for the tacos and salsas.

    Tacos are good, I would stick with the tripas, cabeza, and chorizo tacos. Bistec was my least favorite surprisingly. All in all it's easy to spend more then you thought but I like the payment structure and how quick the service is. It's chill and alive at night. Great place to go to after a few drinks.

    Steak tacos
    Torianna C.

    This place was very very busy, so I got take out. I liked how the space was decorated. The service was very fast. We ordered and got our food in less than 5 minutes. It was hot and fresh. The tacos were good. I liked how they came 5 in an order, which was more than I expected. I could only finish 4 tacos. They needed a little more seasoning on the meat, but the salsa helped enhanced the flavor

    Is any of their meat gluten free?

    Meat is gluten free, it is cooked separately from the heated tortillas.

    They only serve Pastor on certain days, what are those days again?

    Thursday - Sunday

    Can we seat inside?

    There is now!!!! Indoor and outdoor seating available

    What are the prices for the street tacos? Asada.

    I paid 10 for 6 tacos and they were great prices are low

    Do they have anything other than beef? Pork Carnitas?

    Yes. They have pork Thursday through Sunday when they serve al pastor. They also have tripa but I've never seen pork carnitas.

    Do they take American Express credit cards?

    Yes ma’am, they do!

    Do y'all have chicken tacos?? And carne Asada?

    I haven't seen either of those on the menu- If you're looking for something similar, I'd go with the tripas or bistek, but the options are:… 

    Is it BYOB?

    Who cares?!?!? Go get the best taco of your life!

    Is it dog friendly?

    I've never seen dogs there. I think the seating is probably too small and too tight for dogs.

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!

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.
