- JjennySan Antonio •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI think everyone should give this little restaurant a try :-) the chef is adventurous and pulls off Tex-Mex Asian fusion well. The brisket eggrolls were great!  I wouldn’t put this restaurant on my every day restaurant list, but it belongs on the must try novelty and will likely take a visitor when they come to San Antonio list.

- MMarkSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe were pleasantly surprised! Right in the Riverwalk, obviously a popular place, but everything works well! Food was delicious, our server was cute, gracious, and attentive. Even though we mixed up our reservation they found a table for two on a busy Saturday night. No complaints. We'll be back.More infoDomingo RestaurantePrice: Expensive• Mexican / Southwestern• Downtown•4.5
- PPamVIPNew York City •28 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoFrom the moment we walked in, we were treated like rock stars. The service is wonderful and friendly from everyone; it’s like they are actually happy to see us there. If you are thinking about getting the tortilla soup, just go for it—AMAZING! The appetizer dish of cheese and jalapeños was excellent, but save room. The steak was cooked to perfection and the potatoes were delicious. Only wish I had room for dessert—next time!More infoBohanan's Prime Steaks and SeafoodPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.8

It comes as no surprise that Frito pie is a staple in the birthplace of Fritos. No one knows who first buried the chips in steaming chili, cheese and chopped onion, but the mystery chef is practically sainted around here. Tex-Mex cuisine is distinctly different from authentic Mexican, but both are found in abundance in Downtown San Antonio. You can thank indigenous peoples for the tortillas and tamales that appear alongside enchiladas, spicy rice and refried beans on your combo plate at the many Mexican restaurants in the area. Tacos and tequila have always paired well, but craft cocktail bars have elevated both. Who knew that a soft-shell taco with seared ahi tuna would be a hit in the Alamo City?
