Lunch special prices were decent. Needed Improvement: I had birria tacos, and I expected the consumé as a condiment. It turned out the street tacos I got just had shredded beef dipped in the consumé. Disappointed I didn't get more info on it. I'm a fan of refried beans at Mexican restaurants but I'm not a fan of their refried beans. Not sure what the unusual flavor was these beans had -- kinda smoky, I'm thinking chipotle. I wanted to like it but in the end they just tasted "off". The service was not great; it was one and done. He took our orders, dropped off our plates, never checked afterwards. Bottom line: this place has shredded beef burritos that are hands-down my wife's favorite of every place we've been in the Valley. So, patronize them for that reason, if that's your go-to item. My tastes would lead me elsewhere.

Got our drinks quickly and the salsa was good with the chips. Thinking things were going to be awesome. NOT. We ordered our food and I had a two crispy tacos with a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. My wife ordered the beef, pork and chicken with rice and beans. When the plates arrived, they weren't even warm. The tacos were cold and the rice was cold. My wife's plate was loaded but again it wasn't even warm. It seemed like everything on her plate had been smoked with the meat. The service was a slow too and I noticed other people looking around for their server too. We won't be going back. Such a shame because it was a clean place and we had high hopes.

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more Manuel's Mexican Restaurant 2350 E. Southern Avenue Tempe, 85282 It's Cinco De Mayo so we had to have some good Mexican food. My companion and I arrived at 5:00 and the place was already packed. Fortunately, we were seated quickly and had a really nice waitress. We started out with virgin strawberry margarita's , which were perfect. Chips and salsa came quickly and we both remarked how good the chips were. Very light and thin, and the salsa was so good that I brought a quart of it home. For main courses, my companion ordered 2 tacos. They were pronounced excellent and came with a side of rice that was so tasty that my companion ate the whole portion. Since my companion seemed to have a bottomless pit tonight, fried ice cream was ordered for dessert. My companion almost finished it, leaving a tiny bit of the ice cream for me! For myself, I had the fajitas. It came sizzling on the platter as it should, and was accompanied by 3 steaming hot corn tortillas, guacamole, crema, and green salsa. Finishing it all was an act of stuffing, as the portion was huge, but I made a valiant effort. My companion wanted me to eat some of the fried ice cream, but after my huge dinner and 2 virgin strawberry margarita's, there just was no more room. Service was quick, and the place was nice and clean. It's worth noting that they have a happy hour from 3 to 6. I have eaten at Manuel's before and the food is always excellent. Their taco salad is so big that most people cannot finish it. 5 stars for a wonderful meal, good service, and cleanliness

If I'm being honest, I go every 10-12 days to get a pint of red sauce (#mealprep) to put on my breakfast haha and usually snag an item or two. My go to is carne asada quesadilla and 3 loaded rolled tacos. I could easily eat 12 of the rolled tacos, super good. The ground beef taco is also a solid add on...Both the green and red sauce are awesome too. I've yet to find anything that wasn't great on the menu, will keep going back as long as I'm in Tempe!

The servers were attentive and patient as we were a pretty huge group celebrating a birthday. I had one chicken sope and one beef sope. My sister ordered the chicken flautas and my mom ordered the combination plate. The combination plate came with one taco, one tostada, and one sope. The sopes were delicious. They were very flavorful and were topped off with fresh lettuce and cheese. I had an horchata and it wasn't my favorite. It had a very chalky flavor and imo they should've strained the rice out a bit more. I kept choking on it and it felt like I was drinking sand... The lemonades were delicious though. The inside is spacious and very clean. I will visit again soon!

The food was at best okay. I was shocked to see that this place was empty at about 7pm. I walked in…read moreand immediately wanted to walk out. I wish I had done so. That said, I ordered four tacos, chicken, asada, pastor, and carnitas. They were terribly dry except for the chicken, which was kinda tasteless with larger chunks of meat. Not at all what I would expect for tacos. The pastor tasted nothing like you'd expect and the carnitas were nearly akin to jerky. The carne asada was okay but just not much taste and also pretty dry. My girlfriend gambled on sushi, ordering a crunchy spicy tuna roll and said that it was pretty good. That's why I'm giving this place a 3. By the way, while we ate our food, there were at least five DoorDash or UberEats drivers come through. For the price, I can do a lot better than this. I tend to think that this place is an anomaly, but the tacos were pretty disappointing.

Didn't even know this place was here, so I thought it was a new opening. When we got inside I asked…read morehow long they had been open. 7 months! It was around 6 pm and the place was empty (not a good sign). I ordered 3 birriera con queso with consomme. 4.44 per taco! Most i have ever paid for a birriera taco! My wife ordered the street tacos sampler. These were tiny. I've had street tacos in Mexican several times. Never were they this small! Two bites. My wife said the meat was very dry and not a lot of flavor. My birriera were pretty good as far as flavor, but very lacking on filling. For the PRICE, I was expecting more. The consomme had an ok flavor, but very salty. I didn't try the sushi and I won't be after the disappointment with the tacos! Won't be back.

While I was driving back to my hotel, I saw a sign that said San Antonio tire shop. I was like COOL! Then I saw the taco truck parked on the side.... I couldn't pass the place up. They advertise fresh homemade corn tortillas. Let's just say these are the best corn tortillas I have had. I will be picking up a pack to take back home!! So because I already had dinner, I ordered 1 asada taco, it was really good. I came back Saturday evening after we were done working for the day. I got 4 tacos, I wanted to have some extra for breakfast. I ordered 2 asada, 1 chicharon and 1 carnitas. I ate all four... they were all good!

We arrived around 11:30 pm and it was cold outside. There were about three people working and the guy taking the orders was very friendly. We ordered a few tacos and a gordita. The tacos were of carnitas and the gordita was chicharrón. We also got two Mexican sodas. They also had a complimentary hot cinnamon drink that he kindly poured for us. Our food didn't take too long to be ready. The carnitas tacos were sooooo good. The meat was very flavorful. The salsas were also really good. The gordita we unfortunately didn't like as we did not like the chicharrón. It was just a weird texture and the flavor was a no. By no means is this place fancy but the tacos and the service was good. We paid about $22. I originally wanted chicken tacos but he said they were out of chicken. My friend wanted tripitas and they also didn't have any. Several items on the menu he said they didn't have available which was kinda annoying.. The take card and cash!

The steak grilled beautifully, the marinade was excellent. This is officially our new Carniceria of choice near our home.
