I heard about this place from a friend so decided check it out. They have a pretty big menu, with mostly breakfast, several lunch items and a small vegan section (about 5 options) & vegetarian section on the back. Once we sat down, we were greeted by a lovely gentleman who took our order. We asked about happy hour as it says it on the large sign out front, but he explained that it's old and they don't do it anymore. Not a big deal, but glad we asked. He did bring us chips and salsa and said "happy hour" so it seemed like he was trying to make up for it in some way. Appreciate that. My husband ordered chicken and meat tacos which he said were decent, but he liked the other place we went to instead (he's not vegan). I ordered the fajitas with almond cheese from the vegan menu. It was pretty good and very filling. The cooked veggies came with a side of black beans and some avocado. I thought they would've came with some tortillas and/or rice too, but maybe that's just an American thing ? Either way, I was stuffed after finishing. And I used the chips to scoop some of the veggies and beans, drizzled some salsa and make my own little concoction. It worked for me LOL. Overall, the service could've been a bit better. Our waiter disappeared for a while and when he came back it looked like he went to the store LOL. I know we're on Baja time and really didn't mind just hanging out until he got back, but figured it's worth mentioning. The meal was good but I don't think it's worth coming a second time.. especially with so many other vegan options in Todos.
Alma y Manny was recommended to us by our hotel and quickly became our go-to spot in town. First we stopped by for chilaquiles, and they were legit the best we've ever heard. The chips somehow stayed crisp while being smothered and tossed in a salsa verde and served with meat (pollo for me, carne asada for the wife). Beans on the side were creamy and flavorful without being extra heavy. Then of course we hung out after over a couple micheladas. Fire. The next day, we stopped by for lunch and had Chile Rellenos. And they were the best we've ever had--surprise. For real tho. The food here is so homey and humble, but really high quality. None of the meals were too heavy, which was really nice in the warm weather. Get a table upstairs and enjoy the vibes, delicious food, and sip on a michelada. Trust me.
Had a really delicious (and inexpensive) brunch at Alma y Manny during a quick trip to Todos Santos. My husband and I both ordered a version of the chilaquiles and it really hit the spot, so filling and unbelievably cheap. We also ordered their guava and mango agua Frescas which were yummy but guava is the way to go. We ended up enjoying the spot so much that we stayed for a beer after breakfast too.
Pretty good, pretty cheap, very authentic. Jesus had tacos at the last supper. Who knew? (See picture on wall.) They substantiated papas for frijoles with my huevos mexicanos, which was nice for a cambio. Veggie options. Roof patio. Free WiFi. UPDATE: I just got my bill, and they changed me extra for the potatoes with no beans, and also charged me extra for an extra 1/2 cup of coffee, which is usually included in Mexico. So my 95 peso breakfast bounced up to 120. Ah, well... PS The guy next to me (the only other customer) drank six --SIX!-- beers with his breakfast! Just thought I'd let you know.
If you find yourself in Todos Santos Mexico during the day and your stomach starts grumbling at the sight of all the places to eat - then do yourself a favor, wander away from the main tourist area of downtown TS (don't worry, it is safe) and come here for lunch. The Todos Santos area food scene has something for everyone. There are: - high end restaurants with authentic chefs running the place - mid-range dining options for the family on a reasonable budget - local "hole-in-the-wall" places for getting excellent food on the cheap Some specialize in garden-to-table freshness, others are seafood only, there is good italian, and various other options. Alma and Manny's falls into the "hole-in-the-wall" category giving you very good food at a very reasonable price. It is good honest local food served at a small family run establishment. They had a little damage from the 2014 hurricane that swept through the area, so the setup is still a little funky. But they are open and turning out some tasty dishes. You can see from the more recent pictures that they now have a white partition in front of the kitchen area - the lower part where the young girl is standing in the earlier picture was damaged. And the "bar" is basically a table set up in the corner that they guy (Manny?) works mixing the margaritas or opening the cervesas. We had a chile releno and some tacos and 2 cervesa - the total given in pesos and stated verbally (no written bill) came to the equivalent of about $8. A great deal!! Next time I am in the area I will go back for breakfast too.
Really its all about the tacos. Alma y Manny has some good reviews but is a bit off the main road. We stopped in to find something amazing and were not disappointed. This is a humble place with a short menu and limited drink selections, but hey that's not why we're here. We wanted to hit the major proteins, so our order included: Chips & Salsa, Guacamole & Chips, Grilled Fish Tacos, Carne Asada Tacos, Chicken Enchiladas, and Shrimp Stuffed Chile Rellano. "Street Style" tacos are about $1.50 each served al a carte and come in wonderfully soft corn tortillas. Everything had a nice bit of warm savory heat without the bite good for all palates. The grilled fish is the star attraction featuring the tender juiciness of fresh caught Totoaba a local white fish similar to a sea bass. You could stop right here and be happy, but the chicken is another wonderful surprise, again a tender, buttery meat. The interior decor features many chickens and even photos of specific varieties, obviously very proud of this product. Chile Rellenos make the top list too. Wonderful warm lingering flavors, delicate breading. We had shrimp in ours that were nothing special, maybe a bit over cooked. Carne Asada tacos are also typical of the area but not a reason to make the trip. Overall the service was friendly, restaurant was clean and simple, menu short and sweet. Come for the Fish Tacos and a cheese Chile Rellenos with a cold Pacifico. You won't be disappointed.
This place had the best and most delicious authentic local cuisine. Their prices are cheap. The food is exquisite. The salsa with chips were the best I have ever had. I loved the fish tacos. Staff is nice but they only speak Spanish (hint for those traveling) and only take Mexican pesos. Definitely a must!
If you're looking to venture out a bit when visiting Cabo, you can rent a car and take about an hour drive over to Todos Santos. The village of Todos Santos was initially founded as a Mission in 1724, and later became a major sugar-cane producer. Handicraft shops, owner-operated art galleries featuring landscape paintings of local scenes, upscale restaurants, boutique hotels and restored colonial buildings have contributed to the gentrification and redevelopment of the town. It's a fun place to take a stroll, shop and look around. At some point, you will get hungry and I highly suggest you visit Alma & Manny's for a bite to eat. The staff is super friendly with Manny stepping in to greet and ensure that you are being well taken care of. You'll find Alma in the kitchen preparing some beautiful fresh dishes of authentic Mexican food with her own personal flare. I was quite impressed with the food presentation and taste as well as our entire experience there. They take pride in their work, delivering colorful plates of tantalizing food. All of the vegetables and fruit are super fresh and not added as an afterthought as is sometimes done in restaurants. Their Special Beef Soup of the day was abound with vegetables and tender meat in a delightful broth. They served a medley of condiments to enhance the soup and customize it to your liking, along with their delicious fresh made tortillas! Although we were too full for dessert, (and who eats dessert with lunch anyway?) Manny wouldn't let us leave without trying their house made flan. Ok, so you don't need dessert with lunch, but wow, was it delish!
Looking for Vegan Mexican? Seeking fresh pollo tortillas at a low peso price point? Wish you could get everything for less than 350 pesos? Here you can, and it's all delicious. I had a Vegan chili relleno. Poblano stuffed with mushrooms, onions and zucchini which they were happy to remove. The cheese? Almond. An orange like sauce which is spicy but good to finish it off. Plus refried beans and spanish rice. Hits it out of the park. Lots of food, turned into a lunch/dinner and a lunch tomorrow. The spouse had fresh chicken with a little spice and corn tortillas. If you want flour it can be done. Pico de gallo included, but not spicy. We are talking street taco size. Each one is 35 pesos. We added two Mexican Cokes ice cold, each 1 liter. Total for all of that, the food and sodas, 330 pesos. Definitely will be back. For us Vegan folks, they have about seven items. read more

We are so glad that we found this restaurant on yelp. Everything from the cold beer and salsa to the complimentary flan at the end was delicious. We had 2 combination platters, # 1 and 3. Both had the perfect amount of heat, and tons of flavor. This was our best and most authentic meal on a week long trip to Cabo. read more

Came here based off the reviews. We ordered a combo plate and 4 tacos to get a good spread of their food. The tacos were fine although the fried shrimp tacos lacked flavor. The chile relleno de camaron tasted like an omelette (not what I expected), and the enchilada didn't have a fried tortilla. The service was also very slow. Definitely underwhelmed and wouldn't come back. read more

Margaritas were strong and for 45 pecos, you can't beat the price . Tacos were excellent ( carnitas/ asada/ pescado) . Salsa had a kick to it and chip were fresh . Go off the beaten path for this little restaurant!! read more

We where at cerritos checking out the surf and my wife and I yelped to find a place where we could grab a bite for lunch. We arrived at about 2:00pm and ordered 2 margaritas. Surprised with the great taste and the 45 peso price, trying to compare it to the $10 dollar Cabo Wabo margarita leaves me thinking why I hadnt found this placed before and stayed here longer. Emanuel was our waiter, he was very fast and courteous. So fast that the lemons for the margaritas finished and he sent someone literally running down the street to get more. If in the area stop in, you wont regret it! read more
