Carnitas Chimichanga!
Ramon F.

This was my first visit inside Manuel's at this location. The restaurant is quite nice and has a nice setup which makes it almost like you have your own private table. The service is excellent. We were given some chips and salsa and ordered our drinks. The server returned to take our orders and I ordered the carnitas chimichanga and my better half ordered the chicken chimichanga. When our plates came to our table our food was nice and hot. We had munched on some chips and salsa before hand and their salsa is tasty. The chimichangas were delicious and came with rice and beans. The rice was cooked perfectly. Overall we enjoyed our dinners and we will return. Great place to dine out. They have plenty of parking to accommodate their customers. I also meant to add the correct photo

Our server was amazing :) helpful and service with a smile. Place was designed with red hearts :) it was Valentine's Day weekend. The chips were perfect, thin and crispy! I got the fish tacos and they were yummilicious --- the fish was big and flavored well.

came here tonight with a group of 5 and food was great! service was... eh. and there was a lot of flies and they never came to clear our plates, a little frustrating since we had a party of 5 we def needed that room lol. the flavor of everything though was delicious and the prices weren't too bad either.

We come here often but been many years since I have left a review. Out of the many meals I have had here I cannoli remember a bad on or even a mediocre one. Their salsa is very good. We have always got good to excellent service. I got their Monday taco, enchiladas special. You get enough food for two meals. They have a bar area with tables and booths. In the back there is plenty of space to bring the family to eat.

Pollo especial

Love Manuel's! We are big fans of Mexican food and we consistently enjoy dining here. The pollo especial is delicious! Great chips and salsa. Good service. Fun atmosphere. What more do you need?

Chimichanga, senior or lunch menu. Shredded beef filling. Delicious and a great value.
Sudie A.

What a fun and delicious place to eat! The senior choice of chimichanga was perfect for a quick bite. And the chips and salsa were so Fresh! I recommend the hot salsa. There was a short wait. But the staff were friendly and I was greeted and seated before you knew it. Even the bar was full. Every one was raving about the margaritas. I'm definitely coming back soon. Manuel's was recommended as a top choice by local friends. And they did not disappoint. Thank you for a nice dinner.

The menu features enough sausage options to think there was a factory out back. There were over 10 varieties to choose from, and after a brief existential crisis, I settled on the two sausages with sauerkraut. They were so good I immediately regretted not ordering a few more links. That's the missing link in my decision-making process. Then came the potato and cheddar pierogies. Naturally, I smothered them in bacon, sautéed onions, and sour cream because moderation is for people eating salads. Each bite tasted like a warm hug from someone's Ukrainian (grandma) who also wanted to make sure you never skipped a meal again. Just when I thought my arteries had filed for divorce, dessert arrived: a cottage cheese crepe with berry sauce that was somehow light, rich, sweet, and ridiculously good all at once. This isn't a place that wastes time trying to impress you with Edison bulbs, reclaimed wood, or a menu that describes water as "locally sourced." They let the food do the talking, and the food basically says, "Sit down, you're too skinny."

We got these fried dumpling things that were good but desperately needed a dipping sauce. The dessert was their like specialty cake. It was frozen and the food dye icing ruined it badly. Staff seemed irritated we asked for a food to be cooked in olive oil or butter. So we just said cook it how you normally do. 2 people, soup, mains, dessert $55. Wasn't close to enough food. Unique but overall a disappointing experience

After reviewing the menu we decided on Lemongrass chicken with vegetables, beef with vegetables, beef vermicelli, and shrimp vermicelli. Service is always fast here. I ordered the lemongrass chicken. It is pretty spicy. The flavoring was really nice with a fish sauce in it. It was probably spicier than I wanted. Think I'll go back to my noodle order next time. It was good to try something different though. I would give my dish four stars. Otherwise everything else gets five stars. Free street parking outside.

The restaurant seems to charge for every little thing and the staff is slow and forgetful. Having to get up so many times just to remind them about our order is simply not acceptable. I really hope things improve, especially for long time customers who have supported this place for years Ambience The ambience was very cute and charming. The space feels inviting and has a pleasant atmosphere. Food The food was good. We ordered the catfish spring rolls and they were delicious once everything finally made it to the table. Service The service was the biggest issue and it was very disappointing, especially since my family has been coming here for 3 years. Parts of our order were missing, including several side dishes and even the sauce for the spring rolls. We asked for a cup of ice and that was missing too. We waited about 10 minutes after receiving the catfish before the vegetables were brought out and we had to keep asking for simple items. It's a shame because things taste best when the food is still hot, but the catfish was already cold once they brought out all the small dishes that came with the main dish. Because the staff was moving so slowly, we ended up walking to the counter (6 times) just to follow up on things that should have been brought to us without asking. It honestly felt like we were serving ourselves. There should be no excuse why service was so slow because there's two waitress and only one other table. The Vietnamese coffee tasted sickly sweet and burnt. After taking one sip, I asked to switch to a Thai tea, hoping it would be better, but that drink was also extremely sickenly sweet. I returned it after one sip as well. I was surprised to see that I was charged for both drinks and was told it was because I drank them, which did not feel fair at all. They even charged us for the lemon slices.

Parking is pretty small so parking can be a little difficult when it gets busy! Service is decent and they are very friendly but could be more attentive. It is pretty spacious inside with plenty of indoor seating. However, it can get pretty loud when it is busy so it might be hard to hear one another They offer Korean BBQ but it isn't all you can eat, as well as Korean dishes (tofu soup, bulgogi, bibimbap, etc.), and sushi. There is even a lunch special menu Mon-Fri 11-2:30pm and has a good selection of bento boxes! I've gotten their beef teriyaki bento box and it came with rice, salad, 2 piece California rolls, and 2 pc fried gyozas. Pricing is $13-20 The beef teriyaki is pretty tender, flavorful, and not too salty. The salad is underwhelming and didn't have fresh greens. The fried gyozas were decent, nothing special. The California rolls were ok, not bad. I would say it's 7/10. The bibimbap was very fresh and delicious but a little pricey ($18.95). The bulgogi was marinated very well and rice was super crispy inside the hot stone bowl. Seafood tofu soup was pretty good and not too overly salty. It was very flavorful and the tofu was very soft. I would say it's 8/10 Would definitely recommend and return
