Some of the food was great others not so great. The sun came through the window harshly and no blinds were pulled to adjust it, even though people were addressing the discomfort from multiple tables. The worst part was service, we had to wait forever to get our check and drinks didnt get refilled.

Service was amazing!! Everyone was so kind, and inviting! Smiles on all the employees. Our server recommended the green iguana margarita.. soo yummy! Chips were fresh, hot, instantly refilled! Great dinner. Overall wonderful experience! Best place I’ve been to since moving to AZ from WA. Thank you!

I knew this place was going to be good the second we walked in because it smelled amazing in there. The ambience was comfortable and fun and full of culture, very family friendly. It was immediately obvious that it was well kept and super clean. We had chips and salsa at our table immediately and our server came by shortly thereafter to take our orders, and we got our food incredibly fast. Not what I expected at all. And it was delicious! My wife had the shrimp tacos and I had the Three Amigos enchiladas. Everything tasted amazing and flavorful. Our drinks were always topped off, chip refills happened instantaneously. It was just an amazing experience all around and I'm only sad because we don't live nearby. Thanks to the staff who made our first experience at Manuel's a super memorable one. We will definitely be back here again at some point!

We came from out of town to visit a friend who lives in AZ and he recommended this place. The food was great however the service was not! We sat at the bar and were served by Kristal the bartender. We got food and drinks and it seems to me like Kristal hates her job. It seemed like everything we asked for was a bother to her. Her attitude sucked and was cussing the whole time. I get that it's a "bar" but it's a restaurant bar there should be some more class! The owners need to hire people the actually like their job and enjoy customer service.

The food is really good. They do a great job managing the hordes of people who want to eat there. Our server helped us very quickly and was very helpful as we navigated the menu. Prices are very fair considering the state of the economy. We will definitely go again and again to Manuel's.
