I will begin here, I heard about this location via a recent Facebook post about Saturday taco…read morespecial (taquiza). Upon my research, I discovered they offer breakfast options each served with toast or pancakes. Very comfortable location, plenty of seating with booths and tables. Staff is friendly, greeted upon arrival. Food is well prepared and arrives to table hot. I tried the Chicago Omelette, made with avocado, tomato and bacon with a side of hash browns and pancakes. I am glad I stopped in, I look forward to returning.

During a long weekend in Chicago I was staying nearby El Mana so based on the Yelp reviews it…read moreseemed like a great place to grab some dinner. El Mana is just a small storefront restaurant in a corner plaza. Inside is very basic, no real decor, simple tables and chairs. The clientele seems to be mainly Hispanic which is always a good sign. For such a small place the menu is fairly extensive including breakfast and a whole page of seafood entrees. I ended up ordering the Camerones Al Mojo De Ajo (shrimp in garlic sauce). While waiting for my food I enjoyed the chips and salsa, good flavor and fresh, although the salsa was a bit salty. In about 10 minutes my food came out nicely presented on a pretty fish shaped dish, a large portion of shrimp, rice and a simple salad topped with fresh avocado slices and some warm flour tortillas. The shrimp were excellent plump and meaty in a zippy sauce laced with garlic. The rice was a great compliment, while the salad gave a nice fresh crisp element to the meal. Overall an excellent meal and a great dinner. El Mana is a great place to get some excellent Mexican food at a reasonable price, portions are generous, flavors a big, bold and straightforward. Service was good, but this is not a high end place, really not much to see and really nothing except great food.

My favorite thing, their specialty, is Pupusas. It's basically a corn masa, with meat & cheese inside, then fried on the flat top. The chorizo is excellent! They always give you a basket of chips with tasty, low-heat salsa, and I love the salsa verde they serve with the meal. It's a small and humble place, but a real hidden gem!

The cashier confirmed the details of the order twice and I still got the wrong item. I ordered their cheeseburger which is supposed to come with bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato. Guess who got no bacon, tomato or cheese? It's literally how their menu describes it, did they forget? The basic hamburger I received for $11 plus tax isn't worth it. No complaints on the quality of the food, it is great considering the area. Their chicken is juicy although on the smaller side. We've gotten the family chicken meal multiple times and the flavor is consistent. The burger patty has a great charcoal taste although pretty dry so I wouldn't order it again. During these times where every penny counts, and eating out is a luxury for many, not getting the basic meal I ordered is frustrating. Unless you take everything out of the bag to verify it before leaving you never know what you will be missing. (Who is really going to open up their cheeseburger with dirty hands to verify it has cheese though?!) I understand if it's an "extra" they aren't used to including but something that is standard? Not ok if it isn't free.

I finally tried Birria today for the very first time... tried purchasing 1 birria taco just to try in case I wouldn't like it & for some reason I couldn't buy just one, I had to buy 3.

We wanted to try the goat birria but they didn't have goat just beef, and wow the taste was amazing. So delicious. I will be back for more! 10/10 service was good.

I would say top 3 Mexican places we've ever been to! We each ordered a few tacos, and my husband's fave was the pastor, while my fave was the birria, but all of them were honestly perfection. Horchata was great, rice and beans were fantastic, and pricing was definitely decent given the quality. I'm going to be craving their food weekly. I get the high praise now! We'll be back. :)
