Every time I have been here the place is full. Their drinks are fun. For the designated drivers and angry drunks, I've been told that most all of their signature cocktails can be made into mocktails, so you won't miss out. Their food is delicious. They have a great menu and present food well, considering this is a party bar atmosphere. Not singling out this place, but I agree with the many who complain that street tacos should not be inflated from $2 to $6, just because they are popular now. When it comes to tacos, No Manches saves itself because they have many specialty versions, like ribeye, pork belly, and even cod. In every visit, many people check in on us to make sure we're doing okay, much appreciated. Also, their salsa verde is the best of all three salsas, try to fight me on that.

That said, the live music creates a high-energy vibe, so it's not the best spot for a quiet dinner or for kids. Perfect if you're looking for flavor and atmosphere.

The restaurant is not for inside dining so be prepared for ordering to go. I ordered enfrijoladas for $12. I've never had them and didn't know what to expect. The price was somewhat steep but the portion and weight was definitely hefty. The food was scrambled eggs layered with corn tortillas, beans, cheese, and sauce. I wasn't crazy about it but it is more my personal taste with corn tortillas. This happened to be a solid dish and I would recommend checking them out.

The blood orange margarita is good but I highly recommend the mango margarita, which is fresh and delicious. The only issue is the place is pretty small. Definitely come earlier. They also offer taco Tuesday. Buy two get one free. This is a must try restaurant when you are in the area with ample parking near Butcher on the Block. I will definitely be back!

That means a larger space for dining. It wasn't very crowded for 8pm and we were seated right away. Im sure at true dinner hour it was filled. Our server was great and gave us just the right amount of time between cocktails, appetizers and food. Dinner was great, Queso Fundido with chorizo appetizer and steak fajitas. The Queso Fundido was really heavy, not canned saucy cheese but real cheese with chorizo. The steak fajitas were great with super tender steak and more veggies than I could eat or cared for. Rice, beans and tortillas were served on the side to make it super filling. One thing to mention however is that the food here isn't inexpensive so be prepared to pay.

The food is awesome and all of the sauces and even the chorizo is made in house. I'm sure there are other items that are homemade as well, but we haven't gotten there yet. :) We shared a Suizo Burrito (homemade suizo sauce) with steak and it was incredible. It is not an exaggeration for me to say that this is my favorite suizo sauce ever. The density of the sauce isn't runny like most others and the texture is almost that of chili (but not too thick), which means a solid flavor with every bite. We also loved the homemade guacamole and horchata, which is unlimited refills! We had long conversations with the owners and employees and they were super kind and loved sharing all the unique elements of their restaurant. We'll definitely be back soon!

The atmosphere of the restaurant is pretty open bright and nice. After some chat and hearing that the fish fry is popular, I thought ok, I'll give it a try. I haven't had a fish fry in years. I had the three piece cod, battered and fried, with side choice of fries. It also came with a roll and coleslaw. You can also get Walleye, or all-you-can-eat for a few more bucks. Coleslaw is not my favorite thing but I thought I'd try it. It was kind of tart and vinegary. Still not a fan so I left that alone. The fish was the star of the show of course and was pretty great, I have to say. Cooked so the fish was tender and flaky inside a crispy crust. The fries were fries, and I took most of those and the role home. The pretzel roll would be for a little sandwich later. All in all for the price a surprisingly decent meal. I have been kinda disappointed in restaurants lately but this was just as you'd wish; tasty, a decent price and the servers were great.
