Manny's has a really nice atmosphere--very laid-back and relaxing. Maybe a little TOO laid-back because the service was definitely slow. However, when our waiter did come to the table, he was very pleasant and provided great service. I tried the sampler platter, and it was pretty good. But the chips and salsa?! DELICIOUS! Definitely top-tier! The prices are a little on the higher side, so I'll definitely be back to give them another try...when my budget is a little larger. Overall, nice atmosphere, good food, and I'd visit again! read more

Everything about this restaurant is satisfying. It's a bit upscale, and we came in not dressed up. Every person from the host to the manager was kind to us. Our waiter was fun, attentive, and professional. The fish was very tender and the sauce on it was very flavorful. Their ceviche was very fresh and also extremely flavorful. If you like spicy, they do have a good salsa to add to your meal. All the pics taken were after we dug in. Both dishes came out beautifully plated! read more

Visiting Plano for a work meeting and my brother picked me up from the airport to take me to my hotel. Had just enough time to grab a quick bite. When in Texas...tacos! Mannys is a nice upscale restaurant with scratch made dishes. We got the tacos De La something and they were fantastic!!! They came with this Smokey bean soup like side that went well with the tacos. I was impressed. Tacos are not just tacos in Texas! read more

I was taken here by a good friend for a birthday lunch. FOOD: I had a mango watermelon soft serve margarita to start. It is outstanding and has plenty of alcohol in it. My main entrée were the shrimp tacos. They were also very good. I like that they do not give you a ton of chips because to me that really dampen your main entrée. I deducted one star because the fried dessert tasted like it was fried in old oil. ATMOSPHERE: the place is beautiful and airy and open. It is good to have a business lunch, take a date or even have a celebration. SERVICE: our waitress was Stephenie. She was one of the best servers I've ever had. She introduced herself immediately and was very attentive the entire time without hovering. She gets five stars alone.! TIP: I would recommend sharing one soft serve margarita. Expensive but well worth it. read more

My friends and I have been wanting to try the soft serve margaritas because why not. We ended up at Manny's for lunch. Nice establishment, nice location. The SS margaritas met our expectations. Definitely give those a try. We sat out on the patio so since the weather was decent. The margaritas were melting pretty quickly though. It wasn't very crowded, but our server was not on point. I'll just leave that there. The food was just okay. I believe my friends felt the same way. I had the lunch beef fajitas. I would definitely go again and try something different, however. read more

I have been here twice. Originally, I was going to give this place 3 stars, but my second visit is what dropped it to 1. The service was fine. Our server was nice. The food is okay, but it's not worth the price. The same goes for the drinks. Everything is overpriced and overhyped. They do give you free chips and salsa. On my first visit, I had the chicken flautas. They were okay. Just regular flautas, nothing exciting. They weren't bland, so that's a plus. They came with black beans and green rice. My wife had the mixed fajitas with steak and chicken. Same story. They were average. Not bad, but not great. They came with refried beans, Spanish rice, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and cheese on the side. I also had a mixed drink that cost more than it should have. It wasn't very memorable. It was okay, just expensive. The second visit is why this place gets 1 star. We ordered food online while we were at the watch party for the Mexico game. The estimated pickup time was 20 minutes, which I thought was reasonable. When I arrived, the manager kept telling me the food was almost ready. After stringing me along for about an hour, they finally told me they couldn't find my order. They canceled the order and refunded my money. I won't be coming back. read more

A story popped up in my news feed as I was scrolling regarding Mannys new concept. More Mex Less Tex. 20 years ago, Mannys established itself as a go to Tex Mex restaurant. I guess they are branching out to follow a trend of more interior Mexican and Latin American. The restaurant itself is attractive, spacious, comfortable and well designed. Located in a multi use complex amoung the State Farm buildings off Renner rd and Central expressway,you wouldn't know it was here,unless you knew. Hence,the advertising worked as the place was busy to have opened days ago. Our waitress was obviously inexperienced but,pleasant and got the job done. The seating was comfortable with views of the restaurant broken up strategically by the designers. Nice. The menu is extensive and to my surprise had quite a bit of Tex Mex. More interior Mexican and Latin American was covered in areas like chef specials. I was keeping my consumption down or probably would have opted for the short rib. It was served one table over and looked promising. I had the mole chicken enchiladas with rice and black beans. The mole was smokier and a little darker than others around town but good. My dinning partner had Redfish tacos on corn tortillas which were also very good. Overall nothing really great or wrong with Mannys Mexican Kitchen. However,it seems to have joined the club occupied by Mi Cocina and Glorias which aren't my fave style of food. My standard is just down the street at Popasitos. Finally we agreed that while good,we probably wouldn't rush back to Mannys Mexican Kitchen. You decide for yourself when you..... Go! Good Luck Manny read more

New addition to cityline I definitely like the food better than the last Mexican restaurant that was there but definitely average Mexican. I work at Cityline so a co worker and myself went for lunch. They have an extensive lunch menu for $14 bucks and that's what we ordered from I had the Birria taco lunch plate Serving size is very small but perfect for me: All items were just ok. Nothing bad to say but the customer service and ambience is 5 stars for sure Free chips and 2 types of salsas I would go back to try the regular menu which is ALSO extensive with tons of choices read more

The reinvention of this restaurant was a good thing. Not sure if it was just a name change as I had never tried Fernando's. I will say believe the hype! They have the BEST soft serve and Texas margaritas. 1 will get you where you want to go. The food is pretty good, not the best but good. The service has always been good and accommodating. The waiters accidentally spilled a drink down my friend's back on her birthday and management made it right! I have been recommending this spot to everyone. Be prepared to wait if you do t have a reservation because they do get busy. read more

I stopped by on a friday afternoon and ofcourse i was here for the soft serve margaritas. Angel was our waiter and he was super attentive. This place has a real cute airy vibe. We were seated immediately. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Started with chips and salsa that was good. I had the garlic shrimp tacos which were good as well. The star of the show I tried both soft serves the guava swirl and the watermelon mango. Watermelon mango was my favorite. They said they change flavors every so often. The presentation of the drinks are beautiful. I definitely will be back when im in town. read more

I came here with a group from work for lunch and the consensus was the food was OK - three stars. The food is a little bit better than Fernando's, thats the place that used to be in the same spot. The decor is kind of outdated. They were actually really busy during lunchtime, which is great. I was surprised because I don't think they're the best food in city line but I'm happy for them since they're new. read more

The entrees tasted good, fresh, and were presented nicely. Queso was fully grease and not cooked correctly. It was hard and oily showing that it was cooked too hot. My favorite part was the soft serve margarita. I highly recommend the tajin rim with the mango soft serve and chamoy on top and the large entrees. The waitress was nice but the hostess staff seemed so uninterested and had sat us in a section different from our reservation. The service was slow and many of the staff seemed so young read more

My friends and I went on a Saturday night and it was packed, so definitely make reservations. Free chips and salsa are always a win, and the ambience was cute and lively. I got the blackened salmon and it was cooked perfectly medium. The mango sauce was sooo good, I just wish they gave more of it. The veggies and rice were just okay. I also tried the viral margarita swirl and was honestly surprised how good it was -- the chamoy topping really makes it, and the waiter even asked if I wanted to record before pouring it on lol. I recommend the guava/pineapple swirl! Only cons was the wait for a refill on waters and the wait on the check. Without the margarita swirls, I'd say it's a pretty standard Tex-Mex spot. read more

I can't express how sad I was when Fernando's closed, but felt revived when I heard Manny's was on the way to fill the empty space. The interior has been completely refreshed - more elegant with cooler temperature colors and less wood tones. Service was excellent and we had several managers stopping by to check on us throughout our lunch. The lunch menu provides several options at the $14 price point (as of March 2026). I had chicken fajita tacos and found the plate portions perfect for a filling lunch that was neither too much or too little. In this economy, I felt it was a good value. read more

First visit to this location. Upscale atmosphere with comfortable seating. Upscale prices. Mostly upscale clientele. You would probably feel more comfortable if you dressed up a bit, not like you just came from the pool. Excellent service. Food was delicious and hot. It is loud inside, and was windy outside. They can't control the weather! read more

First impressions are lasting but I will give the mgr Juan credit for correcting the staffs mistakes and giving me respect for being overlooked for 15min. Beautiful Tuesday patio dining at 6pm and there seemed to be limited servers on shift.

There is opportunity for management to upgrading their services before the crowds arrive! read more

Great drinks and food, but we had a poor experience with the bartender Jose, which really dimmed our experience. My friend and I ordered two soft serve margs at the bar while standing. We later found seats and when the bartender came up to us, we shared that we already ordered a drink each and tabbed out. He then proceeded to make our drinks right away unprompted since we were still waiting for them. 10 minutes later, our original drinks came out so now we had two drinks each. The bartender then came to us asking if we were going to pay for the second drink. We both said no since we only wanted one and that we would give back the second one. He said that he couldn't take them back and that it was okay. The problem we had was that after that discussion, he came to us 2 more times asking us to pay for the second drinks we received, after we already said we didn't want to. This was extremely frustrating because not only were we extremely communicative about already ordering, we also tried to give back the second drinks only to be denied. So to receive passive comments about us refusing to pay was upsetting. I understand it's a busy day and everyone is busy/stressed, but my friend and I were also very communicative. Don't think it was fair for us to be pressured to pay for drinks we didn't order, especially over a mistake that wasn't ours. Other than that, drinks and food were good. Hope they can learn from this and that no one else has this experience. read more

I was a Fernandos loyal customer. So I anxiously waiting to see what was going to happen with the space. I was excited it was Tex/Mex hoping it stood up to Fernandos food and also service. I found out it was Mannys....ok...could be a hit or miss as I've went to the Manny on Campbell and not impressed, the Mannys in Sachse i enjoyed the food. Every Mannys is different food and service. I go to the Cityline Manny after a few delayed openings it finally open. First few visits good food but service slow, as far as swinging back around to see if anything was needed. Couple of times bring food to the table that we didn't order. I shrug it off they're are opening. I've been able to make reservations which I like and they so far have been on point on sitting the party in a timely manner. The last visit was dismal and I was embarrassed as I sold it as you're going to like this place. We got seated ordered our drinks. Drink come with little to no ice and of my guests literally asked for ice repeatedly and it was a hit and miss if it would be brought, ran out of water and couldn't get more water, finally had to tap someone for water. I was ready to get up and pour my own water. Refills of tea or reorder of mixed drinks were not offered. I had to order my drink 3 times before getting a second drink. One person had mole and mentioned it was so thick and had a burnt taste, another literally would not eat the meat on her salad. Usually I order jalapeño poppers and get 5 we only got 3 (INCONSISTENT). We then had to wait for our ticket 30 minutes. The first time it happened on a previous visit I thought the waitress was new and overwhelmed we winded up getting our check from one of the 4 hostess. But this visit 6 hostess/manager standing around we couldn't get water, drinks, check. I literally told my guests if it would have been my first time i would not return, 2 said they wouldn't. read more

My energy and presence clearly stood out, and I got the impression that some of the staff were uncomfortable with that. I was patient about the hour wait at first, but after receiving multiple texts saying my table was ready and still being made to wait, it started to feel intentional and unprofessional, especially that close to closing time. My main issue was with the employee at the front desk wearing glasses. Her attitude toward me was unnecessarily rude and dismissive, and the interaction left a very negative impression. Despite how disrespectful it felt, I still chose to remain composed and handle the situation respectfully. read more
