    I ordered food for delivery and when one item was missing, I suddenly received a call from a staff member at the restaurant. She was on it! I never have received a call when something is missing from the actual restaurant! She offered to drop it off or come in the next week to re-order the item. Unfortunately my schedule didn't allow me to come in (they close at 2pm!) So I am desperate to go back and try the French Toast Concha. That being said, the chilaquiles with egg on top? So yummy! And legit heat on it! The flavor was rich and spicy and just so delicious. Cannot wait to try more.

    BEST MEXICAN BREAKFAST SPOT This restaurant will have a cult following soon. It's just amazing. The food is incredibly delicious and it feels like you're eating at a Michelin 5 Star. The service is top notch and the atmosphere is cozy. The restaurant is new and has been remolded. Try the Mexican coffee and finish your meal with the churros.

    Stopped by for Sunday brunch. We were able to get a table pretty quickly despite arriving during peak brunch time. We ordered a the chorizo biscuits and gravy which were a fun twist on a classic. The service was great and the staff was all incredibly friendly. Next time I definitely want to check out one of the sweet offerings. They looked like a great indulgent treat!

    The place is very clean and the service was excellent. We had the pancakes and French toast. I also had the hot chocolate. The food was delicious. I didn't care for the hot chocolate. I think it had cinnamon in it. There is plenty of parking in the back.

    Be sure to double check what you are being charged when you get your check. When we first dined here, we weren't told they charge an upcharge of 3.99% for using a credit card. I paid it and let it go. However, we returned this past week with CASH so we wouldn't have to pay the upcharge. Our server asked if we would be paying with cash or card. We told her cash. We paid our check and I stuffed the receipt in my pocket. When I got home I pulled the receipt out and looked at it. The 3.99% upcharge had been added eventhough I paid with cash. This whole upcharge scam being employed by more and more restaurants is bad enough. But when you pay cash and it's still added is downright unethical. Once I realized what had happened, I called the phone number on my receipt. The person that answered identified himself as Noe the owner. I explained what had happened and he said he would make it right. I'm supposed to bring the check back in and they will refund the the charge. I did have a fairly large check so it's more than a few cents. Noe blamed Clover, the name of his credit card processor. I thought to myself, I didn't use a credit card??? Noe mentioned he also charges the upcharge at his other restraurant Hoopsters in Jeff. I told him that yes, we had eaten there also and was not told about the upcharge until my card had been charged. I also told him I have a problem with these upcharges when there are no signs stating the upcharge anywhere on the premises and the server doesn't mention it when you hand them your card. Noe said Hoopsters has new menus and it's now stated on the menu. He actually said it's now in small print at the bottom of Hoopster's menu. Unfortunately, we really like the food at El Mananero, but I will not tolerate these 'gotcha' tactics so many of these restaurants now employ. It's their loss as we and our friends eat out numerous times every week. Any restaurant that employs upcharges should make it known either by signage or prominently displayed on the menu. PERIOD!

    Stopped in El Mananero to group some breakfast since I was running early. The staff was very friendly and the place was very clean. I ordered the Burrito mananero to go. It was Avery good size and flavorful. Will try the restaurant again.

    Great place for breakfast - outstanding service - food nearly as good - Mexican themed with a few American choices - certainly worth a try.

It's like 3 business combined seating areas and you should be able to find a spot inside or outside here. Great ambiance for kids and a calm chill vibe. There's even a playground as well For food I opted for the bacon croissant sandwich. It's was verrrrry good. Thick crispy bacon paired with a delicious aoili on a butter croissant. What more can you ask for??? I also got the orange juice which was freshly squeezed. Loved it

I did see there is a patio out front, then there is a small indoor seating area, but the real space is the back yard/porch. That area is impressive. The place is rather rustic. You order at the counter and they will call you when it's ready. No table service here. You are on your own to get a to go container and such. Usually that wouldn't be a problem, but when you are dining alone, it's kind of hard to go fetch anything. Do you leave your belongings? Do you leave your food? If you need more coffee, how are you going to carry it all? Even to just pick up your food. Do you leave your drink? Will you loose your table if none of your stuff is there? It can be a problem. However the food is delicious and the portions are generous with reasonable prices. I love that there is a section for my vegan friend... I always scan the menus for vegan options so I make informed suggestions if we want to hang out for brunch/lunch or dinner.

    Big fan of GMB!…read more Although the Tres Leches & Nutella pancakes are quite popular, I am a die hard plain pancake girlie. The Pancakes here are the STAR!! I am picky about pancakes as my dad (RIP dad), made amazing pancakes. I mean THE best. The pancakes here don't touch my dad's but they make a very very good pancakes. No need for syrup kind of good. The bacon is so perfect. Crunchy but not burnt. They do not have a breakfast plate that includes pancakes, eggs, and meat. However, to achieve that meal you have 3 options. 1. Get the kids meal but note, you will get 3 mini pancakes, eggs, and meat @ $6.99. 2. Order the Bryan's Tacos and ask for everything on the side. Here you will still get mini pancakes but will get bacon crumbles, Oxcana cheese, pickled onions, and eggs. Everything except the mini pancakes will come in little side bowls. I think this way is about $12. 3. The way I do it...order side items. Two or one pancake (they are big), 2 eggs, and 3 bacon which will be $10. With this I still end up taking half the meal home. All the coffees are great!! Especially the coffee with steamed milk and Mexican sugar. The restaurant is clean, great music, and has a television is the back seating area. There is also a small bar area for dining. The service is very friendly. I always go off peak times as I have been told there is a wait list at peak brunch time.

Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to what we remembered. The lamb was flavorful, but the chicken Milanese was very disappointing. It tasted burnt and had almost no flavor, and the salad was plain and bland as well. The bread and butter were great, but honestly, that was probably the highlight of the meal. We decided to give dessert a try and ordered the orange soufflé, hoping to end the meal on a high note. Unfortunately, even that was bland. We were expecting a nice fresh orange flavor, but there really wasn't much orange flavor at all. We really wanted to love this place again, especially because we've had such good experiences here in the past. Sadly, this visit just missed the mark. If we do go back, we'll probably stick with the steak. Great atmosphere and wonderful service--just very disappointing food this time around.
