I like Las Mananitas. Especially their rice and beans. Usually, I prefer black beans and rice but whatever they do to their refried beans, it's magical because I could seriously just go there and eat rice and beans. However, I like their other food as well. I've had a great chimichanga and last time I was there, I had some chicken nachos that were served on top of flour tortillas as the nacho rather than corn tortilla chips. It was very good. They have outdoor seating in nice weather and you can get a nice view of their back yard...if you're up high enough you can see a bit of the nearby lake. Service is always friendly and efficient. Even when the parking lot looks full, we've never had trouble getting a table. I think they have a good setup here...nice location, great food, reasonable prices and nice service. It isn't the fanciest place in town but it's great in my book. read more

Last night Saturday May 2, 2026 we planned a little party to celebrate the birthdays of two of my sons. We had a reservation. Started out well, the server took drink orders, drinks were brought and we ordered the tableside guacamole for the table. The guacamole was made and two of the stone bowls were left. We had finished the chips that come with salsa when you're first seated. We asked the young man who made the guac for chips and small plates. Those never arrived. About 10 minutes later the waiter showed up to take orders and we reminded him that we were still waiting on plates n chips. We also ordered our meals. The small plates arrived a short while later, but not the chips. By this time we were ready for another round of drinks - Unfortunately the waiter (and other staff were nowhere in site). Maybe 10 minutes later the food arrived, we reminded the waiter that the chips never came, asked for salt n pepper that wasn't on the table and ordered another round of drinks. The chips never came, the drinks took about 15 minutes to arrive and 1 of the kids plates never came. We reminded the drink runner and he disappeared. 10 minutes went by and I finally went and found our server hanging out in a hallway outside the kitchen doors with other staff. The kids plate finally arrived along with the long awaited chips. We had 3 young ones with us who are normally great in a restaurant, that had begun getting restless because of the delays in being served. Well, the birthday honorees decided that ordering desert to celebrate their birthdays would prolong the lousy service agony to an unacceptable level. So, I went and tracked down the MIA server again, now hanging out by the hostess stand and asked for the check. I handed him my card immediately without reviewing the bill for fear that he'd disappear for another 15 minutes. He brought back the check for signature. I reviewed the bill which was correct. At this point, where I normally leave a cash tip 25% - 30% depending on the service, I did something I never do. I wrote in a 10% tip (not deserved) on the card and wrote a Note: Sorry but the service tonight was absolutely horrible. AITA - What would you have done? This Server ruined our celebration. read more

Haven't been here in a few years. They get very crowded so we came early (around 5pm) and got a table no problem. The location is spectacular - it really could be a high end restaurant or full time wedding/event venue because the view of the reservoir is amazing. The food was good. I'm not an expert of authentic Mexican food so I can't speak to that, but the enchiladas were some of the best I have found in the area. My daughter enjoyed her chile rellenos as well, and the guac was great. It did get quite loud mostly because I think they have the volume for the music too high, which forces people to shout to be heard over it. That's really the only negative and thus the star reduction. read more

Las Mañanitas - Guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Brewster, New York

This place was worth the drive up to Brewster from Valhalla! We will be going back. First, the location is absolutely gorgeous and the restaurant itself matches. Big windows give away to an amazing view, while soft lighting inside gives you a cozy feel. Being from Texas, we've been searching, for the last 3 years, for good Mexican food up here and almost always come up short in our hunt. This place was one of two places recommended to my husband by a guy he works with. He said the owners here are from the same place he's from in Mexico. This got me excited. That excitement was not let down. To start we got ceviche tostadas. The portion was a lot larger than we were expecting, and they were so refreshing. The mole poblano enchiladas I got instantly made me smile. The mole was so good. My only complaint was that I wish there had been more mole in the enchiladas. They were a little dry. That's my only reason for not giving 5 stars. The margaritas were strong, but tasty. The wait staff were all super nice and helpful... Such great service. I can't wait to return! read more

Not a big fan of Mexican food nor do I claim to be that sophisticated about it but I've been here for both lunch and dinner maybe three or four times. I thought the food was decent and remember one memorable "special" a pork Osso Buco that was terrific. Beautiful views outdoors in the summer, worth a trip. read more

A nice restaurant with an amazing view! Sat inside and our order was immediately taken. We arrived around 8pm so not much people was there. A server took or drink order and got our food after. The food was great, I got locos tacos and hubby got a big combination (which I forgot the name), we celebrated my sister's bday and we got her a wine from the selection with her name on it. Lol. We also ordered guacamole and diablitos for appetizer. The price is kinda higher compare to other mexican places around. It was all worth it and We will definitely be back! read more

The food was okay. I did enjoy the drinks. I ordered a dirty margarita. Which was very tasty. I also ordered the guacamole that was good and the shrimp tacos refried beans and rice. The service from Jospeh was amazing as well as the rest of the staff. I live e the design of the place and the location. Very nice establishment .

The ambiance here is better than anywhere else I've been to in the area. And walking by the tables all the food served looked delicious! I had a craving for their beef fajitas and my husband wanted a bean and cheese burrito with refried beans & but he, nor my son didn't feel like going so I drove the 25 min to get there, bellied up to the bar and had a drink while I waited for my to-go. I upgraded my fajitas to the $32 Mother's Day Ribeye fajitas special that the bartender told me was even better than the regular menu skirt steak fajita that I liked so much. So my fault for not opening the containers to be sure I received the right order and posting this as a PSA suggestion for others to do. My medium rare ribeye fajitas with mushroom and onion instead was an overcooked steak (not a ribeye) with a big sausage and some vegetable dressing My husband's bean and cheese burrito with refried beans & rice was instead, 2 shredded chicken burritos and curly fries. But my son's shrimp fajitas were correctly done (no mushroom) so it was perplexing why 2 dishes were wrong. Not really wanting to drive another hour but still wanting what I ordered and not waste $50, I did call to see if I might bring the 2 orders back and get what I asked for but no one answered the phone so I gave up. (They were super busy at the time.) I'm writing this because upon waking up I'm still wanting the fajitas and kicking myself for not opening the containers to ensure it was correct before I left! During the summer, the outside section for dining is second to none around. Gorgeous views! read more

Las Mañanitas - Shrimp Fajitas, hold the mushrooms. It was disappointing to have only 4 shrimps. We would not order this one again. - Mexican Near Me - Brewster, New York

This place is so fantastic. Ignore the reviews. You feel as if you are at a family's home. The service was excellent, friendly and fast. We last minute let them know it was my daughter's bday, they produced a cake and sang to her. The food was fresh, hot and super delicious. read more

Las Mañanitas - Chicken chimichanga!! SO DELISH!! - Mexican Near Me - Brewster, New York

Ok. This joint is huge - seating hundreds outdoors on terraced patios. There is a view, but it's not exactly the Alps or the Grand Canyon. The vibe is fast family food. The food quality is as one might expect - made fast, served fast, sourced in bulk, designed to satisfy the uncritical consumer. Oddly, though they serve probably 1000 of them a night, this place cannot make a basic margarita. I didn't go to the bar to look, but I can almost guarantee that they pour them 10 at a time from a giant premix pitcher or something. Two sips and it was left on the table. Our server was determined to get our drink order before our butts had even reached our seats. However, they neglected to provide the drink menu. He wasn't particularly enthusiastic, just efficient and in a hurry. Guac is mashed tableside and actually wasn't bad. In fact, if I went back - which I won't - I would only have the guacamole. The "filet mignon" that came in my dish had a somewhat mushy texture that left me concerned about the source and quality of the meat. The music was blaring and would make sitting on the covered patio impossible. But it was tolerable out on the open air patios. I can see this place is being suitable for a birthday party, of which there were many, or some kind of large gathering that needs a big table and a lot of food fast. Otherwise, there are far better options. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Las Mañanitas! There was some confusion upon our arrival because after calling the day before to reserve a table inside, we were told that they do not take reservations. Luckily the wait was not long and we were able to be seated shortly. The menu is outstanding and there are so many unique menu selections. Our burritos and chicken were top notch. The dining room is crowded and can be loud at times so just be prepared for that. They have a beautiful outdoor seating area for warmer weather. read more

This is the 1st not-so- good review I've ever given. We do Mexican all the time, restaurants, chains, mom & pop take out places. We were an extra large crowd at a family style event. The appetizers were very tasty. The main meals were meh, nothing outstanding. The choices were good but the quality wasn't there for me. I was very very disappointed in the fresh guacamole, especially since I never had one I didn't like. The desserts, the two we tried were pretty good. The staff were friendly and tried to be helpful but didn't speak English well enough to understand us. We kept asking for less. The place was beautiful but looked cleaner than it was. The only thing I can say is it wasn't our first time there, but it was the first time without a margarita or a tequila sunrise, could alcohol, or lack thereof have made that big of a difference? read more

Would have given 5 stars for the location and the food, however one staff's attitude kinda ruins it! We travelled 2.5hrs (I came from Boston and my friend came from PA). From the moment we asked for a table with a view to the end of our dinner, we felt pressured by her! First off, she told us there's no place by the window and had us sit at a random spot Inside. We saw a spot open up right then and was undergoing cleaning so we asked one of the waiters inside and they were nice and said they can happily move us there! So after we sat there and ordered, she kept staring at us which was kinda mean, and once we were on dessert, though we had our own server, she came to us and asked if we needed anything else and handed us the check when we hardly even started having our desserts, I think that was rude! read more

The restaurant has is huge and has a lot to offer. The patios are beautiful and I can see how crowded it could get on a summer weekend night. We went on a Sunday night in September and it was packed. The food we ordered was delicious. My posole soup was full of chicken and veggies. The chips and salsa are plentiful and complimentary. The service was okay, but could be better. We had to wait for a waitress a few times during the evening. The main reason for a star off was the fact that, according to my husband, the men's only bathroom stall was out of order. Not acceptable. read more

Eating at the sprawling Brewster, NY Mexican mainstay, Las Mananitas, is much more than just a great meal. It's an event, it's an experience, and it's also some wonderful Mexican food. The place is big. Very big, sprawling room after room. And it can grow really noisy when the crowds get into full swing. But, as I said, it's big, divided into various dining areas, indoors and out. So while dinner may be a highly social (and loud) event for some, it can be as almost quite as a private dining room for others. Warm summer's eve, we opted to eat outside, away from the crowds. Instead of dinner in a mosh pit, we chose a quiet, almost private table overlooking the gorgeous grounds. Crowds of wannabe diners moved past us, never breaking our pastoral mood. Despite those passing crowds of diners, our waiter assured us that there was no rush, take your time, relax, enjoy.... And so we did.... The drinks were big enough to seem imposing, but not as strong as they were long. A bit more tequila, a more assertive lime sour would have helped make them worth the price. Meanwhile, far in the distance, we could make out the unending sounds of the revelers, at first loud then increasingly joyful. If I were in a party mood, I might have joined them. I wasn't; I didn't. Alicia ordered pork tacos with churro beans which were the highlight of her less-than spectacular, highly ordinary meal. Nothing wrong with it. Just too ordinary to justify the big room, the big noise, and the big price. I got Birria, a beef stew cooked with rich red guajillo sauce, just spicy enough to make any abuelita lick her lips in joy. Not only was it wonderfully wonderful, there was enough for diner and lunch and bit more for a side dish.... So it seems this kitchen is more than capable of turning out far-better-than-ordinary dishes. But the crowds, the rush, and the endless party seem to make anything really exceptional far too much trouble to bother. Bottom line, I really liked this very special place. Alicia, alas, not nearly as happy. If you're going for the food, choose the quietest time on the quietest day of the quietest week. Unless you want to party. Then any time will do because the party is nonstop. read more

The best Mexican food! Had an amazing dinner, everyone loved their meal. Guacamole and salsa were spot on. Drinks perfect.

Beautiful location with a great view- suggest going during sunset and seat outside if weather permits to catch the view. Great ambience and busy. Since it does get fairly busy it might be hard to find parking in their fairly big lot, just something to note. Fast and friendly service- owner came around to greet and chat. Menu selections are affordable and drinks were strong. read more

This location is TOP NOTCH! And that's pretty much what you get. Plenty of deer-in-the-headlights staff and very average, bland even, food. I got Molé Enchiladas and the molé was horrible. No flavor at all. Rice was meh and refried beans def came out of a can. The food and staff really leave a lit to be desired. That being said, the margaritas were great and the beer ice cold. And the setting is unreal. Outdoor seating will give you views of treetops and a reservoir. Truly a relaxing place to dine. It's a shame the food kinda sucked, because the ambiance is 100%... read more

Pretty location, but if you have a gluten issue, avoid this place like the plague. My wife and I both have serious gluten sensitivities, made that clear to our waiter, asked if what we were ordering was gluten free (because it looked to be), was told it was and both of us ended up sick all night and the next day. Not that the management wants any advice, but if their wait staff doesn't know what gluten free means, they should say that to the customers. It doesn't make any difference to us, we won't be going back, and if you have a gluten sensitivity, you might want to avoid Las Mananitas. read more

For a place that was packed on Father's Day, the service was absolutely incredible. the staff here hustles and yet provides exceptional service in every way. The food is great and authentic. The atmosphere is beautiful. We were able to get different courses quickly and also have requests fulfilled quickly, such as getting lemon for our water or napkins. Staff are kind and helpful, even though there were a lot of people and things were definitely busy. Ironic thing is that I was speaking to a friend today and he recommended this restaurant a day after I had been there. neither of us even live within a half an hour. (I live an hour away.) Will definitely be back! Kudos to the kitchen staff, wait staff, and Management for doing a great job of bringing it all together and helping patrons have a wonderful day! read more

Going 4-based on previous experiences but this past one on Father's Day was a bit of a let down. In all fairness, I've never seen busy like I did on Sunday! Mistake going there on this particular day. My fault! This place is always slammin' but as long as you're seated outside, no problem! Beautiful views, at least 75 decibels lower than sitting inside and without the foot traffic. There is A LOT of staff here and they RUN around (and I mean RUN!) ALL around the facility! So, the food is AVERAGE 'at-best' (solely due to the size and scale of the place), usually only warm and somewhat small(er) portions (in my opinion), but the environment and ambiance are amazing. If you sit indoors (anytime), bring earplugs! FIVE STAR frozen margaritas! This is a good place, just not a 'great' place. Strong and well made priced drinks, large variety of dishes to choose from on the menu and a handful of 'specials.' As I'm finding most everywhere these days, wait staff seem to forget you once you place your order and getting a check... Fuhgeddaboudit! Literally! Spent 20 minutes waiting for a table and another 20 minutes waiting for a check. I think my ears were bleeding while waiting for drinks at the bar as the music was so blaringly loud! Likely to return before the summer is over for margaritas and handmade guac. read more

Nice ambience. Good drinks, but I must admit... the food, at least what I had...was a bit of a letdown. Chicken Rancheros should be more than frozen chicken boiled in water and bathed in some type of sauce of unknown flavor. Now, I know that a lot of restaurants cater towards a, let's say, Caucasian palate. I wish they wouldn't, but whatever. I will say that the sauces available here are lovely. Just remember to request them. The best Mexican food is always at spots that may not look as appetizing. Come here to meet friends, drink, and celebrate. Maybe split an order of burritos with a friend and enjoy the chips and salsa. read more

I went to Las Mananitas last week for dinner. I had a sip of my drink and there was a piece of glass in my drink. I told the waitress. She offered me a new drink I declined. She took it off my bill. But that is not the point. She did not seem shocked. I went home and told my son. He told me that also happened to 2 of his friends. They need to be more careful when they are putting away their glasses especially since this is not been the first time. Also the beans were very salty and I like salt. Not the best dinner I have had. read more

4 stars for the amazing al fresco. This restaurant sits on a hillside: nice summer breeze on the patio with a serene view of the greens and a small reservoir. Foods are tasty. Extensive menu covering from Fajitas to steak or seafood. The classic guacamole was made and served right by the table (fun to watch). I got seafood paella and the portion was very generous. Bomba was a bit soggy for my taste but it was well flavored. Scallop was tender and seemed fresh. Our server was friendly and attentive. Overall very pleasant experience at Las Mananitas. read more
