This evening my friend and I decided to go eat here after getting our nails done across the street. In the main dining room there were roaches crawling up the walls. After two full booths of people fled, and the flying roaches began to come toward our booth, sitting there with plates full of food, I asked the three young waiters where their Manager was? They pointed to the back of the restaurant, where I walked to, he was sitting there with his leg crossed all relaxed talking to two other men. I asked him if he knew about the roaches. Long story short, Alex, the Manager, went ballastic and told my friend that "she disrespected me by coming to the back of the restaurant and interrupted my conversation." Needless to say, I am NEVER going back to any place named MANNYS, and the Health Department and Dallas Code Compliance need to know about this place. JUST UNBELIEVABLE. read more

I'll have to say, the frozen margarita are really good. My Texas nachos were pretty good. However, no way should nachos and 2 small margaritas cost me $36 dollars plus a tip ($40+). Way overpriced for what I ordered. How do they justify that cost? read more

I have been sitting here waiting for a refill for ten minutes. But my waiter has spent more time somewhere else. He walks to the girl up front or to the back but does not even look over to my table to see if I need anything else. I was going to order desert but cannot wait for desert. Also a lot of flies flying around. read more

Manny's Tex-Mex - My waiter at front but never even looks back at me - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Went for a late afternoon lunch (or is it early dinner?) on 12/26. Most of the restaurant was empty, but to be expected. We were greeted promptly and seated. Our waitress arrived and hurriedly got our drink orders and food orders, which came out blazingly (almost TOO) fast. We hadn't even gotten our drink orders (a water and a beer). The meal was very ample in its portion size - mine required two plates, but the dishes themselves were tried and true Tex/Mex staples I've seen for most of my 50 years. Nothing terribly interesting in the ingredients or menu creativity, just the basics. I feel this place is a decent compliment to the Meso Maya (always crammed to the seams) across the street; two different Mexican-ish concepts to choose from. read more

Great food and great people. You can't spell Manny's without Paola. She gets it. Every time I'm there she always comes and says hello and is always in an upbeat mood. HIP HIP FOR PAOLA! read more

Where do I start!!?? Paola and Juan were amazing from beginning to end! Everything I could ever ask for- professional, friendly, attentive!! I can't wait to be back. read more

Totally solid TexMex. Good chips and salsa. Good tea and margaritas. Fun atmosphere. But when we visited on Christmas Eve and ordered chicken flautas for appetizers, they never came. Once our entrees arrived, we asked about them and the waitress apologized and put the order in, bringing them out mid-meal. She brought beef flautas. Strike two. Then when I ripped into my cheese tacos, I got a mouthful of raw onion and carne sauce. So they brought me cheese enchiladas. Pretty frustrating to have not one or two screw ups, hey mistakes happen, but three was irritating. Again, the food is great, just my individual experience was really frustrating. read more

Bland is the operative word here; I had guacamole that had very little flavor contrast between the avocados and other ingredients and flautas where I could barely discern the taste of brisket from its fried tortilla blanket; the house margaritas are also watered down and thin but the salsa is a definite bright spot. We also went during dinner service and were ignored for our entire dinner after the food was delivered; not once did a water come and check on us. In fact, I had to get up and go find him to get the check. I realize they're maybe understaffed since they're new, but at least check on us once and/or apologize. I'm happy to have a new place in the neighborhood but they need to step up their game. read more

First and last time here. Everything tasted the same- like cardboard. There was no taste or spices to anything. I mean, how can Mexican be so bland that EVERYTHING tastes the same? Also, our booth had a table about 5 feet too big so we were stuffed in the booth like bland tamales. Even the salsa --- just a "taste" of heat but that's it. Too many Mexican restaurants for this place to be sooo bad. read more

Great food. Great drinks. But we felt like sardines stuffed into a little can. We were afraid to move our chairs in order to stand up. All in all, it was okay, but it won't be a first pick restaurant. read more

So bad. Non-existent service. Carne asada was so salty I couldn't swallow it. Asked for my check and got interrogated. Still ran my card for the full amount even though I took one bite and was asking to leave. 2nd and final bad experience here. Hopefully they'll choke on my money the way I did on their salty steak. In what world does a customer almost vomit from the taste of a restaurant's food and then get charged full price? Manny's world, obviously! read more

Excellent Tex-Mex food. My wife and I had the #10 plate. I thought the beef taco on this late was one of the best that I've ever tasted. So glad we chose this place for our lunch. read more

Average food. Tastes like any other Mexican food casual sit down place anywhere in USA. Nothing special but it's not terrible. Place was clean enough. Margaritas were fine. They had a skinny margarita which was nice and tasted better than the regular margarita. read more

Food lacking flavor. Fajitas were bland and Nachos were not good. Waiter was nice. Outdoor seating areas flooded with flies.

Manny's has some of the best authentic Mexican food in Dallas! It always tastes fresh and flavorful. This location (Lakewood) is cozy without being cramped, and the decor is cute, colorful, and very "artsy." We've come to this location at least a dozen times, and have never been disappointed. The food isn't super exotic, just perfectly prepared, authentic, and Mexican - just better than you ever expected. The outdoor area is great, and the wait staff is attentive and very friendly. But it's the food that will keep you coming back again and again! - Randall read more

Consistently delicious Tex-Mex food and margaritas. Nice variety of menu items. They are very generous with portions, and we are always full when finished. We really enjoy eating here; I can't remember why I didn't rate higher before. read more

The 2 stars belong exclusively to our server. She did a great job. Otherwise, I found a hair in my "table side guacamole " that was not prepared tableside. The shrimp ceviche was pretty good. The Tex-mex martini was great but points off for the spotty glasses. read more

Our favorite neighborhood Tex mex place. Always have great service. The food is consistently good. And the skinny margaritas are the best!! They also have a great patio area and are super kid friendly read more

We used to love Manny's on McKinney so we thought we would give it a try at the Lakewood location. Very disappointed. They sat us right in front of the bathroom and when we asked to move tables, the waiter was very rude to us and said no other table was available when clearly there were 3 open tables. We sat and looked at the menu for 15 minutes and the waiter never brought us water or chips or came to take our order and the table seated after us had been served already. Needless to say, we will never go back! read more

I love how conveniently close it is to home and I don't have to worry about parking compared to the other location. I've always had good experiences and the customer service is top notch. read more

Not a bad place. I feel like the one in Uptown is better. Pretty standard Tex-mex food though way overpriced for what it is.

Went to this place once, but was very disappointed in the quality. I would compare this place to Taco Bell. I got tacos and they came in cold hard shells, it was a joke. I cannot recommenced this restaurant if you want good Mexican food. read more

Ok queso...that's as far as we got. No hello I'm your server, no what would you like to drink. Does anyone smile in this place...you work in hospitality. Nothing hospitable about this place. I will never recommend or step foot in this place again. read more

We absolutely love this neighborhood spot. It's one of regular places because the food is consistent, the drinks are delicious and the service is exceptional. Best of all, it's so nice to support a place that is family owned and operated. read more

Delicious food at a reasonable price. My favorite dish here is the two burritos plate with the sunset sauce! I'm very picky with ground beef and Manny's is always seasoned well and very flavorful. read more

I ordered take out on a Saturday night. Order was ready when they said it would be which was 15 min. I ordered enchiladas and tacos which were great for the price! Their chips and salsa were great as well! read more

Had a late lunch at Manny's Lakewood location today. Ordered the Tacos al Carbon. In the meal description it referenced the rib-eye steak as the meat ingredient. The meat served in the taco was not rib-eye. It was over-cooked and look like round steak, cut in one inch length pieces. Contained a lot of gristle and fat from the round steak. One of the worst Tacos al Carbon that I have had. The sides that came with the taco dinner were good, rice, guacamole, and cup of beans. Service was slow. Decor was nice. Salsa served was very good, had some heat which I like. My date had the tamale dinner and she said they were very good. read more

It's my husband and I's favorite Mexican restaurant in Dallas! Always great food and solid service.

I struggled to give Manny's Lakewood 2-stars. The food, for the most part, was just awful. As though we ate two day old enchiladas. They were dry, the food was not hot, and the chili sauce looked as though it had been on there a while. One person in our party was served their salad with no dressing. And then, someone apparently asked for the TV volume to be turned up at which point we could no longer even talk to one another. The icing on the cake was being over charged with a meal we did not order. Never again. read more

My wife and I come here a lot more due to the fact that it's close than the fact that we "love" it. However, there are some real winners on the menu. Their beef tacos and sunset fajitas are all great and they have a decent brunch / early weekend menu as well. This place isn't going to be on a "best of" list anytime soon, but for the price and convenience it's a great alternative to some of the more expensive or higher maintenance places nearby. read more

I tried this place on Tuesday for the first time. I've never eaten at the other Manny's in Uptown. The salsa was solid and flavorful. I ordered the lunch special #5. It came with one cheese enchilada, one soft cheese taco, rice, and beans. The enchiladas were nicely seasoned and plenty of cheese made this dish tasty. The rice and refried beans were cooked on par with most standard Tex-Mex restaurants. The prices were average for a lunch meal at $7.75. The wait staff and service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant has plenty of indoor seating, as well as, a spacious covered patio equipped with heaters for chilly weather and ample seating. I will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes such as veggie quesadillas and shrimp tacos. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!!! Service is ALWAYS top notch. Mango margaritas are AWESOME and the brisket quesadillas are a must have!

My shrimp enchiladas looked good and were well-prepared in terms of temperature and how it all looked on my plate. But beyond that, they were incredibly bland with very little taste. The refried beans were okay but almost too thin to eat with a fork. Our waiter wasn't much better; not rude, but nor did he go out of his way to make sure that our evening was unforgettable. The only reason I gave three stars is because my GF loved her plate and thought her margarita was great. read more

The fajitas were terrible....beef and chicken both over cooked, could not even eat the chicken it was so dry and tough. Onions were not cooked enough and one tiny strip of red and green pepper. I won't order this again...especially for $18 it was definitely not worth it. :( read more

Wait until after Covid. Waiting times for pickup are ridiculous and double what they say when you call.

Many small flies on the wall, in back left corner near the exit to the patio. Asked to be moved, was taken to another table against an interior wall (near bathroom sign) that also had flies on the wall. Third table was OK, but server basically forgot about us, making a female colleague take care of us when I asked her to have the waiter bring the check. read more

The joint is like all other Mexican Food chains, nothing special. What was offsetting was the lack of attention to its patrons. Didn't have water or hot sauce for several minutes. They never refilled salsa which I kinda dig. Charged for sides like extra sauce or jalapeños. Staff would much rather talk to each other than the patrons. I'm a Mexican food addict, but I'm not addicted to this Mannys location. read more

To quote the Yelp criteria, "As good as it gets... for tex mex." For your basic Texas chips/salsa, come on down. We were refugees from the smothering crush of Sunday morning brunch at Dream Café, exiting the parking lot, and saw that Manny's was open. The salsa was particularly delicious. My wife said their coffee was "good enough" (you could always saunter over to the walk-up window at White Rock Coffee). I had the Enchiladas Estefana, which was chicken enchiladas with sunset sauce and two eggs over easy. That was great! Wife had huevos rancheros and seemed pleased enough. Reported the guacamole to be a bit bland. Service was good and friendly, a tad bit disorganized, perhaps to be expected of a new place. But we'll definitely be back. read more

I took my family to Manny's on Sunday night. I had the fajitas and they were very good. The tortillas are a little thin, but everything else was great. When I mentioned that my margarita was very tart, they replaced it with another one without hesitation. They really seemed to care that I enjoyed the food and experience. This will definitely be a regular stop for me and my family. read more

I went for lunch and the experience was flawless. Fast courteous service, flavorful food and great lunch specials ($7)! We'll be going back many times! read more
