    We came to Manana for a change of pace during our recent stay in Geneva. We had enjoyed a lot of…read moreexcellent Swiss, French, and German food, but now we were craving some Mexican. That was all well and good, but apparently it's not all that easy to find an authentic Mexican restaurant in Geneva :-( All the food we ordered tasted like something that had been frozen in China then shipped to Switzerland and heated for serving in a microwave. Everything totally lacked any of the subtle flavors I've often enjoyed when eating in real Mexican restaurants. We've learned our lesson - next time we want a change of pace while dining in Geneva, perhaps we'll see about some Italian food.

    Oh my lord ... This isn't Mexican, or Tex-Mex, or anything recognizable. Taco Bell is more…read moreauthentic. Don't get me wrong -- I wasn't really expecting a lot -- after all, this is Europe. On top of that, this is Geneva Switzerland, which is not known for any sort of good food at fair prices. Even so, I was amazed how UN-Mexican this food was. I should have taken a clue when we walked by the kitchen and the ENTIRE staff was Middle Eastern. First the good news -- it tasted reasonably well. No complaints actually (except for the chips - but more on that later) Tortilla chips were not very good at all. I'm not even sure they had corn in them. Thickest chips I've ever had. Instead of bearing any sort of yellow color, they were brown. Not sure if they were over cooked, made from some brown European corn strain or just some fried pita quartered to look like chips. Bottom line -- avoid the chips. Yuck. Salsa isn't much better. Not sure what it was, actually. I asked for some 'hot sauce" on the side, so I could jazz the salsa up a bit and they brought out Jalapenos. I was actually impressed they had jalapenos! If you're looking for cheap eats in Geneva, you don't have a lot of choices. Sure, go to Manana. It's really not awful. Glad I went, but just DON'T EXPECT MEXICAN!

    As a Texan living in Italy, it's safe to say I miss Mexican food. While El Centenario is certainly…read moreno Tex Mex, it is a pretty good substitute! They start you off with complementary chips and salsa, although the chips are not made in house. Salsa was a bit small, it would be nice if they gave you each a container per person! We got the half liter of frozen sangria which was tasty. We got a quesadilla with ground beef and cheese to start, the meat was super flavorful and I really liked it. It came with a sad tostada that had salad with super bland dressing and a couple olives. The tostada left a lot to be desired and we didn't wind up eating it. They need a proper tostada with beans, fresh lettuce, tomato, olive and cheese! For our entrees, I got the enchiladas which had steak, cheese and potatoes with a bit of salsa/red sauce and cheese melted on top. I've never had enchiladas with potatoes inside so found it a bit odd but overall I really liked them. It came with 3. I think it would be great if they just served 2, but added some beans and rice. If you want rice and beans, you need to order them a la carte. My husband got the Durango chicken which was smothered in cheese and served with green beans and rice. I tried it and thought it was pretty good! Overall, this has been my favorite Mexican food we have tried in Turin and I would return! I saw a lot of items on their menu that sounded appealing. Strangely, both tables on either side of us ordered burgers? So although it is a Mexican restaurant, the burgers seem popular and perhaps worth a try, haha!
