Guacamole has been our go-to Mexican spot for years, and we've eaten here easily 10+ times, which…read moreis why this review is tough to write. We usually come when the owner is present, and the experience is always fantastic. Unfortunately, our visit this past Tuesday (which honestly should be Taco Tuesday) missed the mark. Our waitress was new and struggled to explain several menu items, which led to some confusion. We ordered tacos, queso with beans, nachos, and chips with guacamole. The order came out incorrect, and the queso was a major disappointment--it arrived as a bowl of grease, completely separated and inedible. The tacos were very small, light on filling, and lacked the bold seasoning and heartiness we've come to expect here. Honestly, it wasn't the usual Guacamole quality. What made it more frustrating was that the wait staff didn't seem very helpful in correcting the issues or explaining what went wrong. While we noticed the owner wasn't in that day and chalk some of this up to her absence, a restaurant still needs to run smoothly when the owner takes time off--burnout is real, and strong staff support is key. We truly don't want to hurt this business. We drive a distance to come here and still consider it one of our favorite spots. That said, $90 for two meals, one appetizer, and a side of queso and beans, with this experience, felt disappointing. I'm leaving four stars because we know how great Guacamole can be, even though this visit was closer to a two-star experience. I hope management sees this as constructive feedback and uses it to help train newer staff--this place is too good not to get back to its usual standard.

The ONLY downside isn't even the restaurant itself, it's the website. It is very hard to navigate but it doesn't even correlate with the restaurant so disregard this critique. The fajitas are so good I get them every time. I don't even need a menu because I already know what I'm ordering! The delicious fajitas that come out sizzling every time. The look, smell, and feel of the restaurant is absolutely amazing! I love the lighting and the horse in the front. The horse is a monumental statue, as it is there every time you visit. I've taken many pictures there in front of it and they always come out stunning, it's just my face that makes it stunning though! And the horse I guess! The chips and salsa they give you when you walk in are absolutely exquisite! My family downs two bowls in five minutes! And they replace the bowl and chips when you run out, so you can imagine how many empty bowls are in that kitchen! Last but certainly not least, the churros. They're nice and warm for the palate to cleanse after you eat your delectable fajitas. You get about 6 or 7 churros with carmel sauce or chocolate sauce. You also get a bowl of ice cream on the side with spoons. Very delicious. Every night I have dreams about this resturant and I don't want them to end. That's why, starting July 1st, I'm going to eat, breathe, and sleep Casa Don Manuel! Thank you if you stayed to read this and get to the end. Good night and I hope you choose Casa Don Manuel as your next restaurant experience. I hope your destiny brings you here. It would make my experience 10x better if I got a picture with the owner, so if anyone could hook me up that would be great. Love you y'all and have an amazing Saturday evening!

Note: there is a parking lot in the back. The restaurant is small and has no seating area. I ordered pork tacos, buffalo wings and a chicken burrito (not pictured). The prices were very affordable, such good value. The pork tacos had cilantro and pineapple and came with 2 sauces and radish/cucumbers. It was pretty good, the pork was a little dry and salty. But overall with the sauces, I enjoyed it. The Buffalo wings were also good. My favorite was the chicken burrito, it came with guacamole and pico de gallo. It was HUGE. It took me 2 days to finish and my son had some. And it was only $11. The employees (probably the owners) were SO kind and even helped me open the door since I was carrying my son.
