Vacationing in Clayton Ga and found this place on Yelp. Glad we did. It had some of the best food…read morein town. I had the burrito with chicken and it was delicious. My wife had the street tacos and her food was also delicious. Everything tasted clean and fresh. We did have a bit of a wait. More than usual for some Mexican restaurants. However, many restaurants have food partially prepared and then warm it when ordered. It's fast but not fresh. Not the case here. I have no trouble waiting for good, fresh, and clean food! This was some of the best Mexican food we've had in years. The waiter was very friendly and polite. I would highly recommend Manrique's for dinner.

Good food and service. Interesting menu with some items you don't find at the average restaurant…read more I stuck with the familiar burrito type of dish with green or red sauce. The other people in my group ordered quesadillas. We were happy with our meals. We were traveling from Gatlinburg to Atlanta and passed through Clayton.

If you take nothing else from my review: get the margarita tower for your group here!! It's…read moredelicious and a crazy good deal!! Came here on a Friday night for dinner out of convenience, and it far exceeded our expectations. Our server Andres was so welcoming and attentive and fun. He saw our group and highly recommended the margarita tower, which we loved. The tower was $32. We got the mango flavor. Between the five of us, that totals to a little over $6 per person. The tower itself got us each 3 full glasses per person, which if you do the math, totals a little over $2 per drink. For our food, we loved the chorizo tacos and tacos al pastor the most. Everything else was pretty standard. There is lots of colorful casual decor everywhere, and they had a really lively birthday party across from us. I'd definitely recommend for a celebration or a fun dinner out with friends, especially with that margarita tower!! And we love Andres!!

While my meal was absolutely delicious, my wife ordered hers without onions; she cannot eat onions. Her dish had onions. Instead of remaking it, the server argued about it. She pointed them out, he took the dish away again, then came back with the same plate, just with the contents stirred up; and while leaning over her plate, used a knife to pick through the dish and argue over what is, or is not, an onion. She said just take it away, sure doesn't want it, and sat there while I ate. Had they at the very least took the plate back, dug out the onions, covered it with fresh cheese, run it through the broiler, then brought it back, we'd be none the wiser. I was very pleased with my meal, and we'll definitely give them another chance.

Chips and salsa as expected. Long wait to pay at Friday lunch because the cashier was also serving…read moremany tables. Food was rough.

An excellent little store and food counter in Lavonia!…read more They have the best tacos I've had in the area (and the al pastor tacos are as good as I've ever had). Bonus? Most of the tacos (with doubled soft corn shells) are only $1.50! My kids love the chicken quesadillas ($8). The green sauce that comes with it (in a container) is just the right flavor/spice (they also have limes with them and garnish with radishes... it works!). Another bonus? They sell the premixed al pastor by the pound (along with other meats). We bought a few pounds yesterday for taco night (on a Monday). It was excellent. The selection of tacos, burritos, etc. is really good (including guts and tongue; there's a photo of the menu here on Yelp). No fish, vegetarian, or vegan, though. The store has exactly the kinds of things you'd hope for. The last bonus? The service is friendly and efficient. I go there every Sunday. I've never seen it empty and it caters to all our local folks with joy. Keep it up Los Gomez and God bless you!

The food is the best that I have had as far as authentic Mexican food. Did I mention cheap? Tacos are only $1.50 each! This is cheaper than Taco Bell and this is actually real food! They have fresh cut meats like chicken,beef and pork. They have real pork skins that they fry up. Us southerners love those. They have a huge selection of Mexican goods to be a small Mexican store. If it's authentic that your looking for then definitely stop by here.
