I've been eating here since about 1974, and have never, EVER had a bad meal, or poor service!!! Great place, and the chips and salsa are phoenominal! And the enormous servings are enough to bring half home, and warm the next day, still just as tasty! Hubby swears there's a Mexican grandma working the kitchen! Congrats Manuel's, I'm hoping that you're planning your 100th celebration!!!

This place is simple, good Mexican. Super standard but done well. Staple in the community.

Although I love Manuel's Restaurant, I have to say the Chili Rellenos weren't up to par yesterday. Waaaay too much batter. Chilies inside were cold and barely any cheese. I'll still try them again, but if they are like the ones I had yesterday, I'll never order them again. I hope my other fav (Huevos Rancheros) hasn't changed.

This was my first visit. The service was friendly and very fast. This food was magnificent! (#3 cheese enchilada and chili relleno) Don't bother buying a ala carte since it's only about a dollar more for the entire entry selection. Cool decor and history. Loved it and highly recommend.
