My wife and I dropped in for brunch last weekend after visiting some people in Visalia and boy did we make a great choice. Staff was very friendly and got us seated right away, the restaurant is small but very nicely decorated and comfortable. My wife had the pancake breakfast and really enjoyed it, there was plenty of food, the pancakes were good, eggs were perfectly done and she enjoyed the country potatoes. I had the Torta Cubana and it was fantastic, loaded with meat and cheese, the pineapple was great it compliments the heat of the hot links. It was a very good meal and very reasonably priced, definitely a place I'd stop by again anytime. read more

We came across this restaurant purely by coincidence and we were so glad that we did. I must say that the staff were super friendly and that is always very nice. They were very attentive and gave us Chicharron to try which we never had before which we found enjoyable! I had a breakfast dish, it was really good! Chilaquiles, something I've never had before and enjoyed thoroughly! The sauce had a little bit of a bite, just enough to really add depth & texture to the dish. My wife had a cheesesteak with sweet potatoes fries, and she enjoyed it very much as well. We were told that the place had recently just opened, there is ample seating, it's light & very cozy. There was ample parking in the strip mall that it's located. Best of luck!! read more

Here's a polished Yelp review you can post: Came here for breakfast with my sisters and we all really enjoyed it! The food was good, the service was friendly and quick, and the ambience was really nice. I especially loved that they played worship music in both English and Spanish -- it made the atmosphere feel warm and welcoming. The coffee was freshly made and they offered both half & half and vanilla creamer, which I appreciated. I ordered the green chilaquiles and loved that the chips stayed crunchy instead of getting soggy. I do wish they had queso fresco, but they were still really good either way. The potatoes had a nice crunch but could've used a little more seasoning. My over-medium eggs were cooked perfectly. They also brought out chicharrones and salsa as an appetizer, which was a nice touch. My sister ordered the chile verde and eggs and it was deliciously flavored. The eggs and meat were served on a tostada, which made it even better. My other sister had the French toast with over-medium eggs and said it was really good too -- she just preferred a little more salt on the eggs, but that's personal preference. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely come back! I included pictures of all the dishes we ordered. read more

Our meals were great but the service was agonizingly slow and frustrating because the wait staff was in full view just hanging out and talking. My coffee was empty almost my entire visit until I actually had to flag down someone. Learning curve aside, rule one is to keep a guests drink full in my opinion. read more

Food is ok, service is ok few items were left out of my order so I had to go ask for them..the tortillas,meat I ordered with my chilaquiles, utensils,I had to get up and for them, ask for a to go box, never received it waited 15 minutes so I went to get it at cashier.. place wasn't busy or crowded.. It was an experience And will be my last. read more

Great service. Very friendly and helpful staff. The environment is cozy and simple. Food was made to order. You are given freshly made chicharrón and salsa. Very tasty salsa - not too spicy but flavorful. We ordered a torta cubana and green chilaquiles. Portions are extremely generous and prices are average. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. Place just opened so come check it out read more

Let's start with the positives. +3 This is opening week. We visited the day after the grand opening per the staff. The service was pleasant! The male waiter was super friendly and professional. The Culinarian even came out to check on us. As far as the ambiance. It seats about 44 to 45 people. The decor could improve but some things take time. The food. Oh boy. So. The Steak. -1 I wasn't asked how I would like my steak so that's an issue. I was brought the steak you see and it was dry for me. Not much seasoning at all. The Eggs. -1 The eggs was cooked too long for me. They were rubber and well you can see them. The French Toast. -2 No. No. No. Flavor. None. Lacked sweetness. Lacked fluffiness. Brioche Bread or Texas Toast - heck even French Bread but this .. I could barely finish. And I wasn't handed syrup for it - it was pre-poured on there. What am I, 5? The least they could've done was ask me would I like syrup on the side.. so I had to suffer though the dryness of the bread. Ugh. The Potatoes. +2 Cooked just like I like them. Perfect. Not overly salted. Slight crisp on the outside. Made my day! My partners plate was the Country Fried Steak and he was disgusted. He couldn't even cut it. I have never seen him waste food and he was over his meal in 5 min. -3 He liked his eggs though. They were better than mine so. +1 I believe in this place and it has potential so I will give them an extra point. +1 But they have to get better in that kitchen b/c, what in the world?!. Would I go back ? Probably not. Do I recommend? Mmm. You know what - yes. Maybe you will have a better experience than me. read more

So glad I found this place. My new favorite breakfast spot. El Mana meaning in english the manna the bread from heaven sent by God. I LOVE the name and that it's a faith based restaurant. Not just that but the food was great! the waiter was great and nice. It got super busy towards the middle but he still continued to try to juggle. The restaurant is in the old pizza spot. It had tons of tables the ambience was relaxing as they had music in spanish and english playing in the background. the have all day breakfast menu and lunch. ALL the salsas are so good!! i couldn't stop eating the complimentary chicharrones with red salsa. My friend ordered the chilaquiles with green salsa and she said it was the best green salsa she ever had. I had el mana con tortillas i think: It was a fried tortillas with fried beans , fried egg on top with salsa and it came with rice and county potatoes. I enjoyed the plate and took the rest to go. Next time will order the french toast as it also looked delicious. As a drink we had coffee it was def strong but you can easily dilute it. It's still new as it's been only open a couple months but they are off to a great start! Will be back with the family. read more

Walking into this restaurant you get a friendly welcome! We received a complimentary appetizer of Chicharrones freshly made with a side red salsa. Our waitress Kaylen was so sweet and friendly. My husband ordered a Meat Lovers Omelette that came with Hashbrowns and wheat toast . The food was very hot and delicious just the way we like it! I enjoyed a kids plate because I don't eat much, but the food was really tasty! The best part is this is a Christian based restaurant! It was our first time and definitely will be coming again! Highly recommended to all. read more

Todo hecho en casa. Probamos los hotcakes de arándanos... no eran demasiado dulces, ¡justo en su punto! ¡Y con la mermelada casera de arándanos encima... DELICIOSÍSIMO por cierto ;) También pedimos los chilaquiles con bistec, milanesa de res, salchichas y huevos. El dueño Nelson, su esposa y toda la familia que trabaja allí... fueron muy amables. El ambiente es tranquilo y perfecto para disfrutar con tu familia. Everything homemade. We tried the blueberry pancakes.... not overwhelmingly sweet,,, just right! And with the homemade blueberry jelly on top... DELICIOUSSSS! We also had the chilaquiles with steak, country fried steak, sausages, eggs. The owner Nelson, his wife and whole family that works there.... were so welcoming and kind. The atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and family oriented.I can't wait to bring more of my family and try something else from the menu :) read more

Absolutely delicious!! My hubby had the chili Verde omelette, I had the chicken Caprese sandwich, it literally is what dreams are made of!! It is a must try!! The service was okay, but they are all new and it will only get better from here. read more

Food is awesome, service is outstanding, and the prices are the best. Definitely my go to place now.

I'm only fully reviewing my chilaquiles as that's what I mainly ate this visit. I couldn't decide if I wanted green or red and the server said I could request both on the plate, so I really appreciate the above and beyond service given. The chilaquiles plate comes with the chilaquiles themselves, eggs, refried beans, and potatoes. I ordered my eggs over medium and they came out perfect, I love dipping my potatoes in the runny yolk and these eggs were perfect for that! The potatoes themselves were so crispy and crunchy, super addicting! The refried beans were good, but nothing out of the ordinary. As far as the chilaquiles themselves, the green ones were absolutely phenomenal! Such depth of flavor, it had a certain freshness to it and was herbaceous which I really enjoy. The red chilaquiles, however, were a little lackluster in comparison. The sauce didn't really taste like much of anything and you could mainly just taste a subtle sweetness and the crispy tortillas. The reason I docked a star is because my husband had an entirely different experience. He got the country fried steak which, while it had a nice crunchy exterior, also had a very odd textured meat inside. It was difficult to cut and he stated it had the texture of ground beef almost- he couldn't even get through more than 3 bites. Everything else tasted fine, he even got the chance to substitute his toast for biscuits and gravy! The staff is very accommodating and wonderful, the food could use a little more work. The inside of the restaurant still looked a little bare bones but considering they just opened I didn't take that into account when writing this review. Overall, the experience was nice but their food is a little hit or miss. read more

Great breakfast! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu for lunch! Service was great as well, will definitely be coming back! read more

Loved it! Had the chile verde omelette and it was amazing! Also loved the fact that the tortillas are hand made and that they bring out freshly made chicharrónes with salsa while you wait! read more

Really pretty and humble little restaurant! Staff as well were friendly. Butttt service for refills on drinks was very poor. We are usually very patient people when we dine out yet unfortunately there were several tables that were seated much after us whom were served first and received their food order long before us. Not sure if it was on purpose, as well as servers continuously forgot to bring food items out or forgot completely about our request. Wait time for food was about an hr long for four people. Food presentation was very nice! Yet... food was portioned pretty small for what our over all price was. Tab was pretty expensive for 4 people. In all honesty im glad we gave El Mana a chance, unfortunately we will not be returning back. I'd much more recommend Mama Ks breakfast for better price and service over all. read more

The food is great, reasonable pricing. Service needs some training and adjustments. The only downside is while we understand the owners and staff may be devoted to their religious beliefs, not everyone that walks in is religious so the ambiance is a little off but you learn to ignore it as the food is great. As a multicultural city, business should not mix with family, politics, and religion. read more

The food was actually good, but unfortunately the service was very disappointing. We were the second table in the restaurant when our order was taken, yet we watched two families come in after us, receive their food, eat, and leave before ours even arrived. No one checked on us or noticed how long we had been waiting. It was frustrating because the food itself was good, but the experience really took away from the meal. read more

Food was okay. Not something to be wowed over but okay. The service was good the waitress we got was new so to be fair it was hard to find out exactly what the dishes actually were however she wa extremely sweet and kind. The place is okay a little too tight fitting ; I think they need to get more organized also they could use some help in rearranging space and how and where things can go to function easier and better. Ex: drinks dispensing area: maybe try using the area where that useless bench inside is.. that might make it easier ( Just an observation). read more

Food presentation was delicious! We were a group of 12 and our food came out fairly fast. Although small it is very nicely decorated.

Food and service were excellent. This is our third time coming here. We will be back. When we were recently hosting a large group visiting from Southern California they were able to accommodate our group of 15. We were pleased for their service that time as well. read more

Solid quality food served. Diamond in the rough. Highly recommend. This location will surely be popular as word gets out

Great spot to visit by Scotty's Donuts. Little bit of a wait (~20 mins) but it's a newer spot. They give out fresh chicharrones instead of chips with some great salsa. I had the red chilaquiles and they were great! Still crunchy when they arrived. Waffles and french toast were great too, I'd recommend it for sure. read more

So we are a family of 8 so sometimes we are overwhelming to restaurants. Here we were treated like family! The chilaquiles were amazing!! We had the red and green and couldn't decide which was better. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the flan at the end was the best we've ever had. Sorry grandma! read more
