I Decided to try the quesa birria I thought it was alright just because there wasn't enough meat in it, it had more of the fat from the meat . I got this and a bottle of coke for 15$ which is too much considering it didn't have much of the meat either they were running out or the meat was pure fatty. read more

I used to like the place....but not anymore! I ordered a carne asada burrito and a fountain drink. The price was over $14. A bit overpriced, but ok-no big deal. When I got my burrito it was literally cold like it was taken out of a refrigerator. Not only that, but the meat did not taste fresh. Yuck! And the service is nothing to brag about! VERY DISAPPOINTED. You lost a loyal customer. read more

I will go here more often if it wasn't for the female working she's super rude and always gets my orders wrong and has a stupid look on her face read more

Bad service bad food asada was burned girl at the counter was on her phone rather than take my money

I have eaten here for years but today changed everything. They have a new Point of Sale (POS) but the acronym of pos better describes the transaction. I went to give a tip and it added to my tip which surprised me. I asked why and they said credit cards add 3.5% to my order. I said cancel it and I would pay cash. They could not cancel the order. I said they needed to inform the customer before they pay and the response was "we don't charge you the fee". I don't mind paying a fee but I want to know options before and not after. May have to start going to 1 of the other 6 taco shops in Alpine read more

Honestly the customer service here is such trash. I walked in and the guy at the front didn't even say hello. He glanced up from his phone for a second when I walked in and then looked back down. I had to say hello and tell him I was ready to order. He took my order and told me the total. The only time he looked at me was when it asked for a tip. Not gonna lie I felt obligated to leave him a tip because he was watching me and I completely regret it. When my order was ready he just said my order and that's it. No "thank you" or "have a good day" or "enjoy". I was the one that said thank you and have a good day and walked out. Have better customer service especially being in a small town. Maybe take some lessons from your fellow peeps in the El Cajon location because they actually make you feel appreciated as a customer. read more

This place has slowly but surely been going to sh**# the cooks in the back really don't care how there food comes out I got 3 rolled tacos today and the guacamole was greyish brownish and there customer service is horrible the owners really need to do something about this read more

FYI Mananas does not use GrubHub anymore. If you are here to order takeout it will not work.

Good Mexican food. Fast service. We love to stop in and get lunch here in Alpine. My husband likes the carne asada burrito, and i order rolled taco. But they have an extensive menu. Lots of choice! read more

This place was great for my breakfast as I passed through Alpine! I got the omelette rancheros! It was incredible! The sour cream and salads were put fresh on the side and all cold in the to go box. The beans were delicious and had cheese, and the entire omelette was covered with Ranchero sauce, grilled green peppers and onions and cheeseeeeee! read more

Not a fan. Food just doesn't taste very good. Pretty large portions, but we had no desire to finish them. Disappointing.

Easily the best taco shop around Alpine, they have a great menu and I've yet to be disappointed. My favorite thing on the menu is the deluxe quesadilla with shredded beef, next would be their wet burritos. My only complaint is they started charging for their hot carrots, but I imagine someone ruined that for all of us. Oh, I've had their California Burrito, not the best I've had, but still good. read more

There are like 10+ taco shops in Alpine. Go to any other one other than this one and you'll be happier. They are the only one on postmates so I gave them a second chance after getting a delivery and having no hot sauce included. I ordered again and specifically requested hot sauce and recieved none. What kind of a sadist eats Mexican food without hot sauce? read more

By far one of the worst Mexican food places I've ever been to. Service is nonexistent. I ordered guacamole and after 3 hours in the fridge it was black. How old that guacamole was?! I got a shrimp burrito and let me tell you. It had 3 SHRIMPS Inside! 3! I also got a mixed burrito. Someone needs to hand them a dictionary. The mixed burrito comes with beans and pulled old meat. I asked what did the mixed burrito had in it, since I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened it and indeed the lady said mixed burritos are made with beans and pulled meat. So every place in like 9 countries I've been to and got a mixed burrito it's a MIXED burrito. With a little bit of everything. You know. What the actual word means. This will actually tell you a lot: bean burritos from Taco Bell are better than this and are not 13 bucks. Btw the mixed burrito was so soggy it was leaking and it ripped the paper wrap it. Never again. I hope tapatios open soon. How did this place survive COVID and still gets customers? Is it because they close late? Take a look at the pictures I got the meat out of the mixed burrito and it's about 0.10oz. It had 3 blocks of meat. Just plastered inside. So that's about 0.30 oz of meat with beans for 13-14 bucks. Nice. And the shrimp burrito it's just tomato salad inside. The onions and sauce you see on the mix burrito I added them since it was so dull in flavor read more

I was out in Alpine because I was looking for Pumpkin patch I heard about that had good prices. I wanted to pick up a class set of those mini ones for my students to decorate. Well, I never found the patch, but I found Mananas for breakfast! (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/manana-alpine?select=elRQP4dh4oN5-Z0HBQS6XA#jWcWSB1g_H9GylFjFN64NA) The bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast burrito was a way to temper myself after I could not find that patch. It had a soothing affect, with its salty and crispy bacon, soft and well seasoned scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar cheese. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/manana-alpine?select=elRQP4dh4oN5-Z0HBQS6XA#Ew1F5wf9rh1iyGRz42nNng) The burrito was above in size and quite filling. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/manana-alpine?select=elRQP4dh4oN5-Z0HBQS6XA#6fFIkrewJUJmLIwr63enSw) Out of the hot sauces I tries, my favorite was the deep red made from burn chili peppers. It was mild in heat but full of good flavor. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/manana-alpine?select=elRQP4dh4oN5-Z0HBQS6XA#e1IIKvJ7fRebeulLO2Zb8w) Well, after powering down the burrito, I felt as victorious as a legatus on the battle field. So, I left my mark. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/manana-alpine?select=elRQP4dh4oN5-Z0HBQS6XA#psWDUa1jrEv03hXkKfY3-g) Nice people fill the ranks of this establishment, and it's worth a visit whenever you are in Alpine looking for a pumpkin patch that does not exist.... read more

Worst rolled tacos I've ever had in my entire life. Their "guacamole" is literally pico with a thin layer of avocado. What's with the horrible cheese on top too? Never going back. read more

The last three times my family and I have eaten here it hasn't been very good at all. Rolled tacos were mostly tortilla; hardly any meat inside the tacos. Deluxe quesadilla was so soggy due to the overly juicy meat inside, it was gross. Beef taco shell was so overly fried it hurt my mouth to bite it. Wet chicken burrito sauce was nothing to be desired. Tasted almost like they poured plain tomato sauce over it :( Service hasn't been that good either. One time they served one us the wrong food and tonight everyone but my husband received their food. My husband didn't get his until all but one of us was done eating, yet the people who sat down several minutes after us got their food before my husband did. I had to go check on it... No sorry or anything! Completely unsatisfactory. They also are not good about keeping their tables cleaned. We never find a clean table and always need to go to the bathroom to get paper towels to clean it ourselves. Time for us to find a new fast food mexican restaurant in Alpine. read more

We had 2 occassions of mold on our tortillas. I tried reaching the Manager and was told they would have them call me. My call was never returned. Today I tried again and was told that there was no Manager or Owner to speak with. I am very disappointed with the employees lack of concern. My family ate here often but will not be returning. read more

I ordered a breakfast burrito with just egg and cheese and all I got was one egg that was Burnt and it was all tortilla. Cost 7.25 for some thing that I just threw in the trash. I've noticed over the past month or two that they're Burritos are getting what are you going very small and all tortilla. Don't go to manana's they don't even give you enough napkins and salsa unless you ask. Really gone down hill since last year. A $10 burrito for all tortilla and it doesn't even taste good. Every thing is overcooked and sauce sucks. read more

I LOVE this Mexican food place. I always stop here when traveling out of town to get a breakfast burrito or chicken enchilada. I have dreams of their green salsa in their salsa bar. It is the most delicious salsa verde I've ever had. Ive never eaten in as I get my orders to go, but the service is fast and prices are reasonable. read more

Mananas - Salsa bar selection - Mexican Near Me - Alpine, California

This has to be the best small business Mexican restaurants in the east SD County. Usually, small business Mexican restaurants are dirty places. This place, as long as I've been there (many times) has always been clean, from the front door, to as we can see in the kitchen, to the dining area to the restrooms. Next and most importantly is the food. It tastes awesome. Have some breakfast burritos there. They're great. Used to stop by here all the time whether going to or returning from Viejas, La Posta, or Golden Acorn. This was our favorite pit stop. Check it out for yourself if you're headed out that way. Enjoy the salsa, too! read more

Tried this place for the 1st and last time today, got a polo asada burrito, the chicken seemed like it was a week old and tough as nails. Couldn't chew half of it. Save your money and go somewhere else read more

Mañana's is usually my go to spot for Mexican food but last night something seemed off with not only their food, but service. I tried calling in to order at 9:15 pm, 45 minutes before close and the phones were "busy" so I walked inside instead to place my order. While paying the store phone rings, and the cashier who was a younger girl jokes to me saying how she "hates when people blow up the phones this late when we close in an hour". Well that answered my question on why nobody picked up when I called, she ignored me. It's not late, it's 9:15 which means you still have 45 minutes of work to be preformed. To makes things even worse, the burritos looked amateur at best. Look at the picture to make your own opinions... read more

Great food. Needs image upgrades and clean restrooms that work. I had the beef, chicken and shrimp plate. I highly recommend.

Meh, Just okay. Girl at the register recommended a California burrito chimichanga style, we asked her if it came with lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream on top. She said yes, it didn't. No guacamole, sour cream or pico in the burrito. My shrimp burrito with rice was cold somehow, hot carrots are sorry.. horchata and quesadilla were good lol read more

This place has gone downhill fast. They do not answer the phone in a timely manner (literally was calling for 15 minutes). The process went up, the quality went down. They have the best tortillas for burritos, but the consistency of the orders is not good. On multiple occasions I have gotten black guacamole. Way too overpriced for the quality...they charge for using credit cards. read more

Came here twice during my 4-day trip to Alpine. :-) I'd never had a surf-n-turf burrito (mar y tierra on their menu), before coming here, and it was soooo delicious! I had it the first night and then had to buy more before I headed home. :-) The shrimp and steak were very flavorful, and there was a white sauce in the burrito that just made it perfect! I also tried the carnitas plate, machaca plate, and super nachos (or whatever they call it on their menu), and ALL were delicious as well. Would def recommend that you try this place out if you're in the area...I think they have a couple other locations too. Oh, and about the rude service- My bf and I only experienced a little of that when we walked thru the front door and the guy cleaning tables didn't greet us or even so much as smile! We thought it was possible that he didn't speak English, but then we heard him talking/laughing with another customer, and he seemed like he spoke and understood English just fine. So, I guess he's just an unfriendly person, and I may be a harsh critic, but I removed one star for that. It's not going to kill you to smile at the people who are eating at the restaurant and helping you keep your job! :-/ read more

My husband and I get food here multiple times a week and always do curbside pick up as we have 4 young kids and don't want to take them in with Covid being so bad...called tonight and the girl refused to take my payment over the phone and refused to do curbside pick up. With all of the Mexican food options in alpine I have no problem taking my business elsewhere from now on. Funny how she was "to busy" to help me....yet they are never busy when we go in. read more

I have been coming here for about 5 years. For the most part, the food has always been good and fairly priced. The inside is usually always clean and fresh. Salsa bar has good variety. Sometimes the music is too loud but I think it's just a matter of preference. read more

Got the worst food poisoning from here. Gave me RAW bacon in a burrito... TWICE! Only came here because tapatios is still closed, do NOT recommend it. read more

We have visited this location a few times to date. The food taste and quality is good but with all the choices in Alpine service can sway a customer's choice. The last 2 times we have eaten here the same person behind the counter seemed annoyed we were even there. The menu doesn't have details for specific items so we asked some questions. Last time about lunch items and this time about breakfast items. The cashier seemed annoyed that we asked and rattled off the details very quickly. The first time she did this we wrote it off as a bad day as we all have them. Now this the second time with the same person. Only 1 other customer was in the place at the time and no one in line behind us. We could also maybe forgive if it was crazy (although been to many places where even then the service was good) but it wasn't. We would recommend trying any one of the other numerous Mexican cuisine places in Alpine over Manana's. read more

I have eaten here twice and both times I just have not been impressed. In the visits we have tried: rolled tacos, carne asada burrito, cheese enchiladas, and Rice. None of these dishes have any flavor, and the meat is also dry on top of it. They do have an extensive salsa bar but almost all the salsa is pretty spicy, so if you can't handle heat you will be SOL. Their carrots on the bar are gross too. Literally, they are dry and taste old, like they have been sitting in the fridge for months. Now let's talk price, I paid almost 6 dollars for 2 cheese enchiladas. That is insane! It looks like most things are overpriced. Honestly the only things going for this place is their location, size (lots of tables inside), and staff who are friendly. Unfortunately, not worth burping up their food all night. Yuck! read more

My family and I have been going to this amazing restaurant for many years. The staff is always kind, helpful, and respectful of any situation. Thanks for all the great football, birthday, and family fun memories. read more

Shrimp Taco Salad. Loaded with grilled shrimp fajita. Downside: no beans, no rice, bland flavor. Great salsa bar to spice it up. Wonderful service, they would have added the toppings if I had asked. If driving through Alpine, it's a good stop. read more

Stopped on the way down from an epic Mountain Bike Ride looking for a big burrito with tasty ingredients. Mañana did not disappoint! Carnitas with pico and guacamole, it was perfect. I was thinking of beer because alpine makes me think of beer, but we didn't have time for the brewery. Although they didn't have Alpine beer they did have my favorite cerveza Pacifico, that hit the spot with the burrito. Try this place out, close to the highway and easy parking, good Service, good food, salsa bar, it's got it all. read more

Ordered 2 cheese enchiladas a couple weeks ago. By far the lousiest enchiladas I've ever had. Will not be going back.

I hadn't been here in a long time due to a decline in quality, service, etc...Decided to try it again and was totally disappointed and ripped off...Not only did they grossly overcharge me for what I actually ordered but I didn't even get what I ordered...barely a step above Taco Bell, they're right off the highway and count on people just passing thru...Too many good Mexican restaurants that DON'T overcharge at all, let alone EVERY time, to bother with this one...The middle of town is where the locals go, stay local, the food is so much better and the service comes with a pleasant attitude...NEVER AGAIN, not today and NOT MANANA either! read more
