👋 It's Madalyn. I finally checked out Domingo, a River Walk spot I've had my eye on for a while.
The vibe: Tucked inside the Canopy hotel, this riverside restaurant blends European charm with vacation-like hospitality.
It's perfect for the summer weekends when travel is off the table — just enough ambiance to feel transported, but you're still home in time to tackle your Sunday reset.
What to try: El Paseo margarita ($16) is spicy-smooth with cucumber and a jalapeño kick.
I haven't stopped thinking about the short rib quesadillas ($20). They're rich and melty with an earthiness from the huitlacoche.

The bottom line: I'm not saying you have to go on a Sunday, but with a name like Domingo, it feels meant to be.
