It was impossible to enjoy the tacos during our visit today 2/15. This was our second time giving them a chance. On our first visit we had tortas, but they lacked flavor and seemed like a taco put into bread. I don't know what was going on today, but the smell of cleaning products was so strong it started to make my mouth burn while I tried to eat. I could still feel it on the way home. Our party of 7 moved around at least 3 times to try and find a table where the chemicals didn't feel so strong. The kids could be seen covering their noses and remarking on the smell. We tried to eat, but left without finishing. We mentioned it to the staff and they had nothing to say. Not even an apology. Fue imposible disfrutar de los tacos durante nuestra visita de hoy, 15/2. Era la segunda vez que les damos una oportunidad. En nuestra primera visita pedimos tortas, pero les faltaba sabor y parecían un taco pero puesto dentre pan. No sé qué pasaba hoy, pero el olor a productos de limpieza era tan fuerte que empezó a arderme la boca al intentar comer. Todavía lo sentía de camino a casa. Nuestro grupo de 7 personas se movió al menos tres veces para intentar encontrar una mesa donde los químicos no se sintieran tan fuertes. Se veía a los niños tapándose la nariz y comentando sobre el olor. Intentamos comer, pero nos fuimos sin terminar. Se lo comentamos al personal y no dijeron nada. Ni siquiera una disculpa.

Wow wow wow. These are some of the best tacos I've ever had. Fresh tortillas and their birria is so flavorful. Don't get me started on their consome, mmmmm. I enjoyed their meats, we tried a little of each. All flavorful and fresh. Their salsas were so good and their spicy one was burning my tongue but I enjoyed it. The staff was very nice. The inside wasn't packed so we were able to grab a table and enjoy our time. It's helpful that they share a parking lot with a grocery store because the street parking wouldn't be sufficient, exorcist if they were busy. I like how they had condiments inside so we can serve ourselves. I'll definitely be coming back for some tacos!

The food was fire Cannot go wrong with the staple of Rosarito. All pastor was seasoned beautifully and cooked to perfection. Meat was succulent with that nice slight char. Handmade tortilla adds to the authenticity. Cannot wait to come back and try the other offerings.

Authentic Tijuana style tacos !! If you want authentic without having to venture into the city then this is your spot

Best tacos in Rosarito Beach! You know you are home when you are here! My family loves Tacos Manuel!

10/10 service, 10/10 flavors, and options. This roadside taco shop is great for tourists looking for authentic Mexican tacos in Rosarito. This place is cash only so make sure to have cash in USD or pesos.

This place has been around for decades. I came as a child the quesadillas are so good and I see some of the same staff is still there since I was a kid. They have a sit Down area and sometimes someone outside singing makes a great vibe. I'm always eating here before I leave Rosarito back home to the U.S. I recommend. Yummm!

Great tasting Tacos! Great prices!! Came with the whole family and enjoyed the trip,food company!!

One of my fave taco shops in Rosorito. Came by unplanned, was across the street at the grocery store and saw Tacos Manuel. Located on a busy street, you'll see the huge sign. Ordering is a bit confusing but the pastor tacos were pretty tasty. The tacos are street tacos so on the smaller side. Nice and flavorful pork. 3 tacos for about 80 something pesos. You can't really beat the price.

Bomb tacos! We got adobada and it was delicious and spicy. They got our order correct and brought it to our table. Good service thank you.

Solid 4 stars! Tried this place on our way to Puerto Nuevo and it was good but it left me wanting a little more. As others have mentioned, this place is easy to find and has some street parking that makes it easy to get in and out. Tacos are prepared made to order and sliced fresh from the trumpo (Al Pastor). Since the meat had yet to achieve full caramelization on the spit, the pork was further grilled on the flattop grill. Niiiiice. You will order your food and drinks in advance and then pay after you eat so be sure to remember what you ordered. Carne Asada- So I went with a carne asada quesadilla here and they are large and come in at 65 pesos a pop ($3.75). The quality of ingredients was good however the carne asada was extremely thin and cooked very well done. The meat was mostly tender although I did have to remove a large piece of grissel while chewing. So embarrassing when this happens. I'd definitely order this again though. Adobada- This is what we came for and although it was good, it wasn't great for me. The meat was tender but it was definitely on the wet side. I'm typically used to my Al Pastor being heavily seasoned, charred, and dry in terms of seasoning. While pretty tasty, it didn't blow me away as other Al Pastor has south or even north of the border. I ordered 2 tacos at 22 pesos each ($1.27 a pop) and a quesadilla for 65 pesos. All three were nicely packed with ingredients, the tacos held up better due to the corn tortillas. The additional wetness of the adobada made the quesadilla a bit on the soggy side. Both quesadillas were good but they both left me looking for more cheese. Overall it was a good meal, but with the wealth of taco establishments in the region, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. Good decent food though so try it if you're in the area.

Cristina J.

I ordered "consomé con carne" and it was served hot, with tortillas on the side! It was yummy and perfect for this cold weather. The tacos were good too, but our group agreed that los de adobada were the best, and they truly were. Ordering was a bit confusing and my tacos were served wrong, I ordered 2 de harina no cebolla and got 2 regular with cebolla- that's why I did t give the 5 stars! Overall, a good spot to hit up for food when in Rosarito.

Went to Tacos Manuel as I was passing through Rosarito and it was good. I had a bunch of different tacos and among the best were the tripa and pastor. The meats were seasoned very well and they were cooked to perfection. The salsas were all good, especially the spicy ones. Drinks were cold. Next time I'm passing through Rosarito or making a trip out of it I'll definitely stop here again. read more

If you want TJ style tacos this is the place to go!!! I've had my fair share of tacos and these are definitely up there. This is a small stand located on a fairly busy street . The parking situation is not bad at all, they have lots of spaces in front. They have birria to Asada and of course al pastor! They also have a small eating area to eat there.

Ok, it's not exactly fair to come straight to Tacos Manuel right after going to Tacos El Yaqui down the road. We're talking legendary, all-time tacos at El Yaqui. But I have to put everything in perspective, because Tacos Manuel has some pretty damn good tacos as well. And they do have a full selection of meats, including lengua and the al pastor that they are known for. I was craving some excellent al pastor after some al pastor tacos the night before that lacked the proper BBQ pork flavor, and Tacos Manuel absolutely delivered on that front. Need I mention that these are only $1 each? About as authentic as a Mexican taco shop gets, even down to the crappy bathrooms. But hey, we came here for bomb ass tacos, and bomb ass tacos are what you will get. read more

You're hard pressed to find a classic Taco Shop on this boulevard that sucks. However, Tacos Manuel is hands down my favorite. Their selection is amazing. Suadero, Birria, Carne Asada, al Pastor, Lengua and Cabeza. I'm a SUCKER for their Al Pastor and Suadero. Ask for it Crujiente (crispy). Tons of room inside for seating with large groups. They have a dedicated salsa to every specific meat they sell. Not one I dislike. If you're headed south, North or are just pissing off in town, Manuel is your spot to go to. They don't serve beer, but they have some amazing horchata that I always get to wash the spice down. read more

Tacos Manuel is a well authentic taco place, Tacos were great, street food style area, and has seating in the back, place could be a little nicer if wanting to attract more tourists attention. Salsa are hot and above, if your spice level is mild and below then, not recommend to get salsa. Place is good, but can reach a more greater potential if taken care of. read more

The tacos were OK. I always crave and rave to my friends about how good Mexican street tacos are. This place was a bit of a let down. I should have known since there was a bunch of good reviews on Yelp for this place. I assume mainly Americans are leaving reviews on Yelp for places like this in Mexico, and I wouldn't consider the "American palate" the benchmark for what good, real Mexican food should be. The Al pastor was pretty spot on. The carne asada was surprisingly bad. The Suadera was pretty good. I've never been sick from eating ANYTHING in Mexico (in over 15 years of going), but every one of us got an upset stomach after we ate here. My sister in law had problems for 3 days afterwards. All in all I wouldn't go back. This was the first time I ever looked on Yelp for a spot to eat in Mexico. Seems to be a bad idea. The best tacos I have ever had in Mexico we're random spots that looked unsafe to eat at but tasted amazing. read more

When you think, al pastor, think Tacos Manuel. Of course, it helps to be in Rosarito, Baja California enjoying the life of luxury as you hop from one amazing food stop to another. But this is a great place to eat for next to nothing, experience al pastor as it was intended, and walk away with a big smile on your face. You cannot miss this place. It is the one with the huge trompo displayed in front. A trompo is a vertical rotisserie that looks like a giant top (hence its name). Stacked with thin layers of marinated pork meat until it is about 2 feet tall, it spins slowly like an exhausted whirling dervish, cooking and caramelizing that meat next to an open flame, all the time the juices of the meat, pineapple and onions dribble down the sides. Mouth watering yet? Load up your soft corn tortilla with meat, then do the traditional onion, cilantro and salsa topping, and sink you teeth enthusiastically into this mini street sandwich. Just a dollar. Trust me, you will want more than one. There is nothing better, and here is the place to test the waters, if you have not already done so. Oh yeah, there is more here, but I only had eyes for the pork. There are tables outdoors, under a roof to provide shade and protection from the rain. Bring US dollars, they take them here. And learn to count up to at least ten in Spanish so you can let them know how big your appetite is. read more

The best $1 taco in Alta or Baja California. The al Pastor is spun on the trompo with an onion and pineapple on top. The guacamole, salsa, cebolla and cilantro are wrapped in two delicious tortillas that have been warmed using the fat from the trompo. Grab a lime wedge, some sliced radishes and some salt - you are getting the best there is. Don't be fooled. There are other places in town called Tacos Manuel and they are not the one. This is near the cross street of Calle Ensenada on Blvd Benito Juarez. read more

If you're in Rosarito you should try this place. They've been in business since the 80's lol. I used to come her back then and about 4 years ago I started coming back to Rosarito and I must say the food is delicious. Tacos are sooo good. They have tacos, mulitas, tortas and the meat options from carne asada, al pastor, my friends favorite is the tripa and others I can't remember the whole menu lol. I eat here every time I'm in town and it's super affordable. I have friends who even ask me to bring them back a torta to Los Angeles lol which I do every time I'm asked to bring some. They have 2 spots in town on the main road in Rosarito. I like to go to the one almost across from Carl's Jr better. The cooks are super friendly and they already know how to package my to go orders as they know it'll have to make it to LA lol. I highly recommend them. Happy eating!!!! read more

We came for dinner and ordered aguachile negro, ensalada bowl salmon, ribeye chicharron, filete mignon, pizza, sabores de Mexico... everything was delicious!! My only complaint was that my filet tasted like it was drenched in a sweet BBQ sauce instead of A1 steak sauce.., so that was disappointing, but the rest of the food was definitely top notch Service could've been a little better, but was still okay. Had a bill mishap at the end, and we were chased down at the end to fix it even though it was their fault... but would definitely come back again without question

Always a fine experience. I live there and have the…read morepleasure of enjoying dinning here.

We went for Mother's Day and it was beyond the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. Our server Blanco was fine and did his best, but the food was absolutely terrible. Dry meat, dry and flavorless chicken, thick chewy machaca, and a salmon that was supposed to be grilled came out drowning in grease. Even the dishes looked dirty. We spoke to the manager Oscar, hoping something would be done, but he was completely dismissive. Just the typical apology and nothing else. This place used to mean something to our family and we even had a close relationship with the owners, but ever since the previous manager passed away, this restaurant has turned into a tourist trap. The quality has completely fallen apart while the prices keep going up. Extremely expensive for mediocre food and poor management. There are so many better places to spend your money now. Sadly, El Nido is not what it used to be, and after this experience we will never return or recommend it to friends or visitors again

That's the best part because it's hidden treasure-a really good authentic restaurant that's not really populated by tourists unless they're familiar with or staying at the canyon nearby, it's just a tad ways off the beaten path. The food is just like your mama & grandmama & so on used to make, fresh homemade & made with pride. You get good home cooked meal, eating among mostly locals. Definitely on our to go lists when we come back. Favorite among families.

Good food, service, and ambiance. Nothing to write home about, but solid Mexican cooking.read more

Oh man, it was chock full of delectable meat. To go along with that, it also had rice, black beans, guacamole and salsa. Those burritos are just too big for me, so I decided on the Adobada Taco and the Carne Asada Taco. The tacos are made with double tortilla, to hold all of plentiful grilled meats, topped with onions, cilantro & guacamole. Their fresh salsa is brought to each table, along with fresh radishes and lime wedges. Top that off with ice cold bottled Coca Cola, and our meal was complete.
