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!

We've been living in Texas for the past 12 years so we know that our standards for Mexican food are…read morehigh. We had many local family owned and operated Mexican family restaurants within the town we lived. This is not the same but we didn't expect it to be the same, but it's good nonetheless! The service is exceptional and very accommodating to small changes to the menu. Fluent in multiple languages (as many locals are here) and happy to explain the differences in the menu and drinks. I got the nachos grande as my meal and to share with the table and they were tasty. The chorizo wasn't greasy and everything was flavorful. My husband got the enchiladas and enjoyed the spice and non-greasy chorizo as well. My kids both enjoyed chips and cheese and quesadillas and got a small dessert at the end of the meal. All in all, I've had legit Mexican food and this is not it but it IS a fresh and flavorful and I did not feel stuffed with grease and cheese at the end (like I have at other restaurants). We enjoyed the sweet wait staff and the 'clean' version of Mexican here in France and our kids did too.

This might just be the he worst "Mexican" restaurant I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot of…read morethem. We started with nachos served cold and swimming in fake, orange "cheese" - the liquid stuff served in stadium fare. Then we had enchiladas and tacos, none deserving of the name. "Vegetarian" options consisted of pickled vegetables straight from a jar, not a fresh one in sight. Flavors were bland. Service was friendly. But with food this bad it's not enough.

Is it weird that France does burgers better than most places in the USA? Honestly it makes sense to…read moreme..they care more about the ingredients. The cheese is better, the meat is better, even the buns and fries are amazing! This place is a popular night spot. They have some awesome live music and really good crowds. We sat at a large table with some folks from the UK that were really fun chat with. The service was pretty good for how busy it was too! Drinks were refilled quick and food came out in a timely manner. They have some pretty good beers on tap too! Like I said above the burger was awesome. Perfectly cooked beef with amazing cheese. The fries and everything else were great too!

Decided to check this place out because it was near our airbnb. The place was pretty packed because…read morethere was an Iceland vs France soccer Euro cup game going on. I ordered the pineapple express burger, which comes with chicken breast, onions, bacon, and pineapple. If each bite has all the flavors it tasted amazing cause the ingredients complimented each other very well. A few bites were OK if it only had like the chicken breast or something. There is also a Yelp check-in offer that gives you a complimentary free beer. The waiter accidentally charged me for that free beer, so make sure to check your bill! Service was okay as the doesn't patrol around much, so go to the bar to get their attention and pay your bill.
