    I believe they're known for their mole and it didn't disappoint! We tried the mole trio with chips and each one had really good flavor. For my entree, I got the shrimp skillet which came with a side of rice, beans and tortillas. Loved the seasoning on the shrimp and everything tasted fresh. The ceviche was also very delicious! Plenty of seating inside, great for big groups.

    The black mole and chicken enchiladas were great. The churros dipped in chocolate and hot chocolate were also really good for dessert. Took their margarita making class and the instructor was both informative and funny. Staff were fantastic.

    What a nice spot! I already want to go back to try some mole, my husband got a mole negro and I got carne asada and both were awesome. We had a large party reservation for a birthday and our server was so sweet and attentive. It made for a great night with drinks that were never empty! The vibe is fun with a friendly atmosphere and makes for a nice night out!

    Manchamanteles is such a fun spot for summer happy hour or dinner in Bucktown! The patio is huge, perfect for catching up with friends, people-watching, or just enjoying a warm evening over drinks. For happy hour, I ordered a beer with chips and salsa for under $8 which was an incredible deal. The chips were crispy, the salsas were great, and honestly I could've made a meal out of just that. I ended up ordering the ceviche for dinner, which was fresh and flavorful, though I was already pretty full from all the chips. The margaritas here are also great. I tried the Manchamanteles Margarita, and it was delicious for evening sipping on the patio. Highly recommend!

    We came to Manchamanteles to for Mother's Day dinner. We were able to get seated right away, but they gave us a corner table that felt a little too tight. I quickly realized the tables disposable paper covers. So there was no way you could manchar the manteles here. My wife and I both ordered margaritas which were really good both in flavor and alcohol content. They also start you off with a little cup of nuts, churros and peas. We ordered their Enchiladas Potosinas. These were really good. You get five crispy Chiles spiked tortillas, served with cheese, sour cream, avocado and radishes. The sauce tasted great and overall a tasteful dish. My son ordered their burrito con carne asada, my wife ordered their Pollo en Mole Verde, and I ordered their Chile en Nogada. The burrito was really good. It came with skirt steak, and stuffed with black beans, lettuce, cheese, avocado, and cream. The skirt steak was cooked perfectly and they give you plenty of steak. My wife's pollo en mole verde was my least favorite out the three main dishes. The mole sauce was really good. It had pipian which gives the mole its flavor. The chicken unfortunately was bland. It also came with white rice but overall a boring dish. I've been wanting to try the dish Chile en Nogada for a very long time. Not every Mexican restaurant offers it, so I took advantage that they offered it here and finally decided to try it. As far as presentation, I feel like it would have been perfect without the salad. Just the two Chiles with its sauce would have been sufficient. The Chiles were poblano Chiles stuffed with shredded pork, apple, peaches, and pears. The sauce was a a walnut cream sauce with pomegranate seeds on top. This dish was very flavorful and I can say I've definitely been missing out. The walnut sauce went perfectly with the pork and the chile. Wouldn't hesitate ordering this again here and at other restaurants. We all enjoyed our meal and will definitely be returning.

    What a lovely local Bucktown establishment for some delicious Mexican cuisine with massive margaritas. The Mole was my favorite. Ample seating and cozy community ambiance. Service is attentive and efficient. Great space for bigger groups. I personally like their twist on certain original recipes.

    My favorite steak tacos in the city. Perfectly cooked steak that's not too chewy or dried out and tortillas that are fresh and to die for.

    Driven and walked by this place countless times- what a shame we didn't come earlier. Higher end Mexican food and worth the premium. I had Cochinita Pibil, pork shoulder roasted in banana leaves with soft, warm corn tortillas. Moist and tender with tons of flavor, but not fatty. Came with habanero salsa that was HOT! Had to be very careful there. As much as I liked mine, Donna's tacos carbon was just killer. Flank steak absolutely bursting with flavor. Tender and smoky with the tortillas and guac. Big place with a colorful interior and exterior, lots of friendly staff.

    This place checks each and every box. Service, ambience, food, drinks, prices. Possibly the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. Do yourself a favor and get here.

    The BEST moles and the STRONGEST margaritas under the same roof! Manchamanteles has exceeded my expectations, and it's safe to say my group of friends thought the same thing. We came here on a Thursday night. We entered through one end of the restaurant which appeared empty and closing, so initially we thought we had the hours of service wrong... only to keep walking further in and see there's another part of the restaurant where more people were seated. We were a large group of 8 and they sat us at their largest table... so big that we were literally arms length apart. Couldn't reach each other on the other side! From the super large table to the super large venue, we were growing large expectations along with our large appetites! Starting off with drinks, I ordered the Manchamanteles Margarita. I never thought to have cognac as a base instead of tequila, and the flavors of prickly pear, passion fruit, and lime all went well together. Tasted refreshing, yet very strong! Hubby got a Tecate beer, which was very cold and crisp. We ordered the Chicharones de Tilapia to start, which we really needed as we were sharing my strong margarita and needed something in out stomachs. This appetizer could've been a dish! It was soooo good and if we didn't share amongst ourselves and others, it would've been filling for me. But for my actual entree, I enjoyed the Dobladas de Mole Negro... the BEST mole sauce I've ever had, EVER. I proudly savored every bite of my dish! My hubby ordered the Pato al Chipotle and not only was it super flavorful, the duck was also very tender and juicy! I got to try some other dishes and apps shared amongst my friends and I will say, I did not have a bad bite! This dining experience was truly delicious and memorable -- for once, it's a Mexican spot that goes beyond tacos and burritos while being very authentic!

    Sopes

    Another good experience at Manchamanteles, I think this was our 4th time here. My wife swears that the duck here is the best she's eaten in Chicago, it's that good. The duck is perfectly cooked and the chipotle sauce is delicious. I love the mole negro dishes. Today we also tried the hamachi ceviche which was very good, as were the sopes. Service is solid. My only gripe are the drinks. I don't think the margaritas or paloma's are at the same standard as the food - the juices doesn't taste fresh, they taste overly sugary and cloyingly sweet. Recommended.

Black Sesame Matcha Latte - while the black sesame graininess settled at the bottom expectedly, the matcha was clearly whisked well. There were no clumps of bitterness to be found. Despite sugar adjustments, this was still very sweet so I'd classify the spot as more desserty rather than strong matcha or a cafe.

I wish I was able to travel with one of their cheesecakes but they require refrigeration. Anyhow the cheesecake itself was delicious super light, fluffy, and honestly felt like biting into a cloud. I had the salted egg but they had several flavor options that I would've loved to try if slices were available. The texture is what really stands out, and the flavor was unique and interesting in a good way. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it taste like, but it was sweet, but not too sweet They only sale but I consider a personal size but it's definitely enough to share with two people, maybe even three depending on how much of a sweet tooth you have. My only downside like others is the price. Paying around $19-$20 for a small cheesecake felt a bit steep, especially since they don't offer slices. I really wish they had smaller portions available so you could try different flavors without committing to a full cake prize. They package it very well and they also serve you a cute little fork set and a knife for cutting which I think is contributes to the price. The shop itself is very cute with chic décor and a lot of Asian-inspired artwork, which adds to the overall vibe. Customer service was friendly. When I visit Chicago again I'd definitely go back the texture and taste alone make it worth it but I do hope they consider offering smaller portions in the future.
