"I arrived with my friends to Manuel's Mexican Restaurant after receiving a glowing recommendation from one of my dear friends who has spent time in Arizona. We had a big group and were expecting a wait the length of the Titanic feature film. However, they were able to accommodate our sizable party with delight. They PROMPTLY brought us some chips and salsa. The chips seemed as though they needed a splash of that sensational Arizona sun, as they appeared a tad pale in nature. However, the taste of the tortilla chips did not disappoint, especially paired with the guacamole that was filled with cheese and other smackerels of goodness. The servers checked in on us FREQUENTLY so we never had to wait to order more delicacies from their menu. Each bite of food felt as though I was transported to Mexico and back to Tempe. The margaritas also filled my soul with purpose. I am a margarita enthusiast and was thrilled by the tequila infusion in my veins each time that the straw journeyed its way to my mouth and I began to slurp upon the authentic flavors of Mexico. The staff and my friends all together made this experience at Manuel's one that I will hold dear to my heart until it stops beating. I do not currently reside in this area but tonight at Manuel's has convinced me that I must pack up my life and start over in this area to allow me to consume the nourishment that this establishment provided to my taste buds. I recommend this place to anyone who eats and drinks."

Me and my husband go here often burritos and street tacos are pretty good. They are always busy which means the food is good. The staff is very nice and will explain anything about the menu when you need it. The prices are pretty reasonable. View menu

Manuel's has good food and pleasant atmosphere. Last Christmas I bought 3 dozen tamales that were chicken and mild. One night at dinner at our house, I found gristle in a tamale! Yuck! That was one times too many. Returned them all back to Manuel's!!! Never again!

It's been some time since I last visited this restaurant. I had hoped to enjoy my meal, but unfortunately, the food was not good. We spent about $100 and ended up not eating much. The guacamole was old and unappetizing, the tacos were soggy and filled with overly salty beef that tasted like straight salt. The enchiladas lacked sauce, and even the sopapilla only had a few sprinkles of sugar. It seems like the cooks are not putting much effort into their dishes. I keep giving this place another chance, but I think it's time to add it to my boycott list.

Manuel's is one of my favorite restaurants, and definitely one of the top 5 authentic Mexican food spots in North America for me. Whenever I'm in Arizona, I always make sure to visit Manuel's for a fun, lively, and delicious dining experience. I always start with a cheese crisp, cooked extra crispy, followed by a cheese enchilada, seafood enchilada, or my new favorite, the green chili corn tamales. The food is absolutely amazing and the service is always friendly. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere and parking are convenient. If you're in the Phoenix metro area and craving Mexican food, I highly recommend Manuel's. View menu

Although inflation has affected us all, my friend and I were taken aback by our visit to Manuel's yesterday for lunch. For the past few years, my go-to lunch dish has been the taco salad lunch special. The price of this dish has been steadily increasing and is now almost double what it was a few years ago. This was not surprising, but it seems unlikely that customers are now earning double what they were a few years ago. What really surprised us was the decrease in portion size – it's now about half of what it was six months ago. So, double the price and half the food. On the bright side, we were seated immediately, received excellent service, had easy parking, and enjoyed the traditional Me...

We drove by around 7pm on the way to run an errand and the parking lot was packed. Neither one of us have been to Manuel's before even though it seems to be a long standing family chain. It was about 810pm when we went by again so we stopped in. The staff are all very friendly and our server Jonathan was excellent. Very friendly and answered any questions we had. He helped steer us towards the Thursday special of carnitas plate. We easily could have shared just that it was plenty of food. But I also ordered the mini chimi's thinking an appetizer of food would be doable. It was so much food and all tasting good : So we left with 2 boxes of leftovers to enjoy at home. We both had a cocktail an...
