Manuel's restaurant draws rich culinary inspiration from many areas of Mexico, resulting in a unique and delicious multi-regional cooking style. Our menu offers classic favorites such as Chicken Flautas, Enchiladas, Fajitas, and Chile Relleno

With all the black leather, neon and jazz here, one might be suspicious. Is this a trendy Mexican joint where the food takes a back seat to the slick atmosphere? The answer is a resounding "no". One bite of the Chile Relleno en Nogada is the proof; tender Pork Picadillo studded with raisins and stuffed into a roasted poblano pepper, then sauced with walnut cream. Or try the Enchiladas, Gorditas and ...

In Short The front room is brightly lit and houses the bar. Local artists display their art on the walls. The larger back room is slightly more romantic; the modern, black, circular booths and low lighting make for more cozy dining. The menu is packed with unique takes on interior Mexican favorites, including a chili relleno covered with a walnut-brandy-cream sauce, and seviche with yellowfin ...

The menu at the original Manuel's remains reliably delicious with innovative twists along the way. The atmosphere is comfy but sleek, with limestone walls and black-and-white tiled floors. For a good introduction to the kitchen's capabilities, we recommend the rich lump crab meat enchiladas, enlivened with green tomatillo sauce. In fact, all the enchilada sauces here are exemplary; try the intense ...

One of the few moderate holdouts in a downtown dining scene that's rapidly heading uptown, price-wise, Manuel's is sleek, chic, and lively. Downtown executives are among the many who come to unwind at Manuel's lively happy hour (daily 4-7pm), with half-price hors d'oeuvres, discounted drinks, and salsa music.

Average Food, Cool Atmosphere, Overpriced

I was expecting something out of the ordinary, something I couldn't get at Papasito's or Chuy's, but on the cuisine front, was somewhat dissapointed. Sure the location was great, and the decor was hip and fun, but the food was just so-so. I had the house specialty mole, which was good but not great. At 16 bucks for enciladas I was expecting something more.
So go for the hip scene, get a specialty ... more

Good food, but be prepared for a LONG wait
brought to you by
Citysearch
The food is generally decent Mexican fare. Nothing to write home about, but most items are reasonably priced and are good enough. The biggest problem is the wait, and the wait, and the wait. Manuel's is coveniently located in the heart of downtown, so it's very popular with working folks after 5:00, and with revelers starting a night on the town. Rather than turn potential customers away or give realistic ...

Apologies to the staff
brought to you by
Citysearch
This is a customer service review since that was what stood out most during my recent visit to Manuel's with my boyfriend and another couple. The service and food were both very good. However, one of the people I was with objected to the preparation of one of his dishes and let the waitress know in the rudest way possible. The tone and content of his complaint was intended to make himself out to be ...
