This place is next level! I got the taco salad and it was HUGE! It was delicious too. The chips and salsa are amazing too. The service was phenomenal too. The only complaint is that the prices are high for what you get.

One of our favorite restaurants. We go to Manuel's at least once a week. This time we went in the afternoon for a couple of margaritas, some chips and salsa, albondigas soup and a tamale ala cart. As usual, everything was amazing

First time. The food was really good. Chips snd salsa were great. I love the chips thin and crispy. I ordered chicken enchiladas and beef taco. The taco was stuffed full of beef and the chicken was very moist. It could not have been better....Read More
