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.

I'm reposting what I wrote on Google Maps since I have an iPhone: I come here literally all the…read moretime, so I figured I should finally leave a review. It's a place I take friends when they're visiting me, family on special occasions, and myself when I don't want to cook at home but want a good meal that leaves me feeling satisfied without breaking the bank, thanks to their daily specials. My partner and I are here almost every Taco Tuesday, and, while they always check, the staff remembers our order. On only a handful of occasions, I've ordered something I didn't love. As soon as I said something (though the staff did ask, too, because they noticed I wasn't eating as voraciously as usual), I was presented with options. I've been looking into an out-of-state move, despite being from here, and not being able to visit Don Juan's is a legitimate concern of mine, lol. My usuals are the carne asada street tacos, green chili burrito, and steak and shrimp fajitas. I also like the chicken enchiladas and the bean dip! Omg, the bean dip slaps. I would buy the salsa in bottles if I could, particularly red.

We had planned on eating somewhere else for lunch in downtown Glendale, but had to pivot and easily…read moreagreed upon this spot. The staff are super welcoming and friendly, as well as attentive. The food was pretty good. I'll say my burrito was a tad dry for me. I had asked for it enchilada style, but it definitely lacked in the sauce department. The open faced quesadilla was simple but a hit from the table. Portions are large and prices are decent.

Put your name in at reception and you were taken back usually after a small weight. We didn't have to wait yesterday. The servers are really friendly and checked on a frequently refilling hubs soda a few times without him having to ask. Our waitress also brought us an extra bowl of spicy salsa because she saw we had eaten all of it. Just brought us another basket of hot and chips. On our first visit, I got enchiladas and instead of rice and on the side I decided to choose their potatoes. The potatoes are so delicious. I love them, and I will look forward to these again when we return. Today we ordered: - Coke - Diet Coke (no Coke Zero here) - NACHOS GRANDE - Tortilla chips, cheddar & Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, jalapeños. Choose seasoned ground beef, slow-roasted chicken or refried beans, or for an extra dollar, substitute fire-grilled steak or chicken fajita. I chose the chicken fajita protein topping. I ordered this for an entrée, but it would be a really good appetizer for 3 to 6 people. It's almost like cheese crisps, halved, with lots of melted cheese and a small amount of meat on each tortilla half. In the center there are toppings. I enjoyed the pickled jalapeños because they weren't extra hot. This hit my comfort food spot. I wasn't able to eat the whole thing so it was so big, but it was exactly what I was looking for. - THE GRANDE COMBINATION - Beef, chicken, cheese enchiladas, cheese chile relleno, tamale, crispy beef taco, guacamole. This combination is HUGE! Even the plate is grande. Absorbed this, and I think his eyes were larger than his stomach. He filled up on the beans and the rice, the chile relleno, and the taco. He got to take three enchiladas and a tamale for dinner the next night. A very nice tasty plate. Complementary chips and three types of salsa are brought to the table. Of the salsas, one is a red sauce that is mild, one is a pineapple tomatillo, and one is a spicier red salsa. The chips are nice and fresh and thin and brought to the table warm. Men's and women's restroom near the entrance for customers.

Horrible hostess! Place was very empty with no line and at…read moreleast 10 empty tables but she made us wait 10 minutes to be seated. She attempted to sit us in a booth. When requesting a table she stated there were only 2 servers and that the tables were not in their "section" which was only 4 feet from the booths! Stupidity at epic levels! We turned around and left after wasting 10 minutes. Eat at Firebirds across the street for better food, service and a hostess with brains!

My wife and I have been eating at Caramba for almost 30 years. Obviously not this location but…read morethey're all good. I get there their nachos. Every time. I love nachos. Are the they best nachos? No. Are they very good nachos? Absolutely, but you have to ask them to use shredded cheese instead of the queso. Shredded cheese is objectively better than queso on nachos and how Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya originally made them over 80 years ago. (I literally just learned about him today) My wife always gets a chimichanga and loves them. Again probably a four star chimichanga. My absolute favorite thing about Caramba's? The Primo margarita. Oh. My. God. It's possibly my favorite margarita ever. They're a little too strong for my wife, but in my opinion, seriously one of the best margaritas I've ever had. It's probably best that we don't have a location closer to our house because I'd be eating nachos and drinking Primo margaritas at least weekly. It's a family favorite as well. The kids always get mini chimis and horchata and love it. The service is always good. The food is better than average. The prices are great. I can't wait to go back.
