Ive been going to Manas sibce the 70s whebn I lived in San Marcis. I now live in Austin and make the I-35 drive to eat the Delicious Tex,Mex Food served by friendly folks @ Great Prices.( you cant beat the $8.99 Lunch Specials!) The Food is the Best in San Marcos and most Austin Tex-Mex Joints! A hiden Gem that Locals know about( theyre Open @ 11AM Thur-Sunday only) read more

I haven't been here in 25 years and it's still the same (delicious and very fair priced). I had the Juarez combo - two enchiladas hard beef taco and a beef tostada for $8.49! What! I was visiting here often when I was a college student at Texas State... It's still so affordable and delicious. Let me tell you, I generally judge Tex Mex place by their salsa and this one is a winner. It definitely has a kick to it. I recommend Manas for sure Be sure to check the hours as the owner was saying he's closed a few days a week. read more

Solid Tex-Mex with a casual, hometown style that is very inviting. It is liking visiting your best friend's aunt's house who insists that she feeds you because you're too thin. The service was spot on and the lunch portions are plentiful, especially for the price. And those To Go specials are killer. Can't wait to try those trays out for our next game night. read more

This is an old school family restaurant. It's like eating in someone's home. Service was great, food delicious, and prices are super reasonable! The salsa actually had a kick to it which is excellent. It's situated in a neighborhood. Parking is available in a small parking lot out front. The owner who rang us up was saying he has been working in the restaurant since he was a little boy. Love that it's a family affair! read more

Food was good as always, ordered 2 family platters for my boy's baptism they had it ready and fresh for the pickup time. Owner was very helpful and kind, he even helped me carry it to the car, left a decent tip for the hospitality. I will definitely be back. read more

Stopped in Mana's on a roadtrip through Texas based on Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed. The enchilada verdes, salsa and guacamole were all delicious. In fact, we liked the salsa so much we purchased a jar to take with us. The food was served very quickly and was just what we needed on a cool, rainy day. Our server was helpful, attentive and personable. Note that this is a BYOB restaurant (something we don't have in our state). One of the reasons Yelp is so valuable to me is being able to stop in family operated restaurants off the beaten track, which we never would have found on our own. read more

We weren't sure if we would make it before closing so we called our order in. We got there about five minutes before closing and told them how we used to eat here as kids. They asked if we wanted to eat there instead. We agreed and they seated us and brought us warm chips and salsa and two Topo Chicos. We had ordered two orders of guacamole enchiladas (one to eat now and one for later) and a Mana's Special (combination platter). Everything was as good as it was 20+ years ago. Will eat here again any time that I can! read more

Mana's Restaurant - Guacamole enchiladas! - Mexican Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Great food! Definitely a must try !!! Beef enchilada meal and other plates as well !

Food is always fresh and delicious!!! Hot sauce to die for. We've been going for 25 years, maybe longer. Just gets better and better! read more

Frequent customer because this is a local treasure! Reasonable prices and very tasty food. Freshest guacamole ever!!

Mana's has been my daughter's and my go-to Tx-Mex restaurant for nearly 30 years. Guess that shows how much we like it!

interior is nice for a small establishment like that, waiters are friendly, tacos were really nice but enchiladas seemed to be made with nacho cheese so if you're into that kinda thing this is a place to check out. read more

Always enjoy the Cafe Ranchera with white cheese and FF! Owner walks tables to check on everyone. Already knows my order by the time I walk in read more

Mana's Restaurant - CFS Ranchera with French Fries. - Mexican Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Absolutely the worst non service and being ignored that I have ever experienced in my seventy one years. I got the distinct impression that white people are not given the same consideration as Hispanics after the two tables seated after us were able to place their orders before we could get anyone to take our order. I dropped a ten dollar bill on the table to cover the two teas and chips and salsa. That is the last money you will ever get out of me. read more

We just found this gem today thanks to Yelp and I believe we have a new favorite! I absolutely love American cheese enchiladas and since moving to Luling from the Austin area have not found anywhere close to home that comes close to Enchiladas Y Mas until now! The restaurant is small but very cute and clean. Staff is excellent and I love that it is a family run small business and we are supporting locals! We will be back soon! Cheese enchiladas with chili gravy were amazing, queso was very good too! Only thing missing is a margarita but I'm okay with that too!! Well done Mana's!! I can see why you have been there for 49 years! read more

The best Mexican food in paradise city 78666 SMTX. Employees are awesome and down to earth customers

The service was quick and very friendly. The food came out fresh, piping hot and was delicious! Plenty of seating and every diner was enjoying their food and the place was lively with conversation. It was our first visit and we will be back! read more

Loved this hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Outside it looks rough. Inside it looks loved. The chips were nice and chunky. The salsa had a great kick. This wasn't mild, but it was great. The queso was amongst the best I have had. I ordered the Chicken Mole but about half way thru the wait was informed they ran out of Mole sauce. Would have liked to have known that earlier, but this is way too small of a spot to have everything in quantity. Instead I ordered the taco plate. Next time, I'll just order three tacos. The tacos were the best I've had in a LONG time. I went all over New Braunfels looking for the best taqueria and this would definitely rate amongst the best. The rice was above average, but the refried beans were terrible. They really need a new supplier or recipe on this one. I'd go again and maybe try the mole or tamales but definitely the tacos are a go to item. read more

Best horchata I've had at a restaurant! Service was okay, food was great!! I got the Mexican lunch (carne guisada) and I'd definitely recommend! read more

I've been eating here since 1996 and it's always been great food and super reasonably priced. Love their fajitas, enchiladas and awesome hot sauce. It's a hole in the wall but that's what I like in a Mexican restaurant. Great lunch specials too. read more

Mediocre mexican food. If you're in search of an authentic taste, i'd look elsewhere.

Great service, but the place really needs maintenance. Cleanliness is really expected in a restaurant. This is exactly how I imagine toilets in Mexican prisons. read more

This place is an absolute institution. So much has changed in San Marcos, but this place is still good and still BYOB.

Great food and service. A++ It was very fresh and hot. Perfect at home atmosphere. Try the Tortilla soup. Best I've ever had! read more

Mana's Restaurant - the menu of the restaurant - Mexican Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Great food for a great price! I have been driving to San Marcos for over 30 years just to have loaded nachos and enchiladas..yummy! Prior to that, I came with my family and then while I was in college. There is a reason why Mana's has been around for so long. The atmosphere is not the best, but it is always clean. My husband likes the fajitas, but I can't get enough of the enchiladas! read more

When driving up wasn't too sure about, but when we popped in this place, smelled phenomenal! I was sure proven wrong. So glad we tried this place. Amazing food! & amazing salsa! Definitely recommend stopping by when around! read more

In my college days, this was a great place to get a cheap diinner late after a night with friends. In my older and wiser days, I wonder what was wrong with me back then. This is a restaurant in a mobile home, so ambience is negligible to say the least. It's basic Tex-Mex. So long as you prefer quantity to quality, you're in good shape. The enchiladas are the best of the lot, but you may be better off in the frozen section at HEB depending on the day and time you visit. The migas are absolutely wretched, badly scrambled eggs with tortilla strips and Velveeta and tomatoes on top. I can usually troop through anything, but I left these mostly on the plate. I like the people who work here; it's just that there's better quality and equally affordable Tex-Mex in town. read more

It's literally a house! A hidden gem. Very clean and very cozy. Real authentic Mexican food and service was great. The chile con queso is a must! read more

Super lunch special. We each had the Juarez Combination. They only charged an extra $1 to add beans and rice to an already filling plate. Ice tea (which actually tasted like tea) included. The food was very good. Crispy taco with flavorful meat. Enchiladas good. Chalupa loaded and had really tasty tomatoes. One star off for the chips and salsa. While ok, they weren't impressive One star back for the HOT FRESH HOMEMADE tortillas. We were impressed by the service. A single person, serving, bussing, cashiering...and all with a smile. She refilled the tea, brought tortillas, and no mess ups on the ordering. I will definitely go back! read more

Good food, I really like the hamburgers and chicken fried steak. Hidden spot in a neighborhood. Menudo is amazing

Don't judge a book by its cover. This place may not be located in the Taj Mahal, but the food is incredible! $7 lunch specials here that will feed the hungriest of people. The salsa is amazing and has just the right amount of heat. My husband loved the queso so much he had to order more with his meal. It's worth driving just a little further off the highway, literally just a few more blocks. Thanks for the great meal while we were visiting San Marcos. We will plan our next trip through so that we can be back here for lunch or dinner! read more

Great Lunch Specials! This place is definitely Hidden but worth the drive to check it out! A cool thing to note is that its BYOB, so if you come on Thursday for 1/2 Price College Night, you can bring a 12pk in with you! Generous portions are served so bring your Appetite! read more

We have been eating at Manas since 1976 when they opened. Great food!!! Friendly service!! Good home cooked Tex-Mex.

Worth the search. One of three very good San Marcos Mexican places and, by far, the funkiest. My sole complaint was taco meat that was WAY too salty. Other items were not noticeably salty. TexMex all the way. Beans and rice with enchiladas, chalupas, tamales, tacos, etc. Very good flour tortillas and salsa rojo. read more

Had not eaten here in many years. As good as I remembered it. Had the combo plate lunch special. Lots of great food for little money. I am cripple and struggled to get in. Everyone rushed to help me then got a wheelchair to get me back after lunch. Great people serving great food at great prices. HIGHLY recommend even if it's a little out of the way. read more

It's BYOB! What more do you want!? No like for real, what more do yoy want? Side note: the food is really good, it's like a cross between my old Mexican grandma (hands down best cook in the game, doin it big since 35) and Rachael Ray, and a lil kick of a crazy drunk uncle.. and if that uncle was Guy Fieri. And again it's BYOB! 1 to 10, 10 being the best place I've ever eaten at.. its a easy 9.4. I would give it a 10 but my day one, Juses Christ wasn't the cook. And we all know homie can make water to wine. read more

Not a easy place to find but we'll worth effort . Prices are fair and taste is great will definitely go back to try different menu items

It is a comfort to know this place is still around with all the great restaurants from the fun times of my 20s quickly closing.The food is fantastic and identical to what I had back in university days. They may have opened in the 1970s from what I remember. I have never been able to find any Tex-Mex in Austin that I enjoy as much Manas. Get it while you can folks! read more

This restaurant is NOT handicap assessable. When I asked the owner if he had some way for us to get the wheelchair inside he simply said "no". I told him it was required and he ignored me. I questioned him again & he got very pissy. After being seated (we finally got wheelchair over the huge entrance) he refused r serve us and said we needed to leave as he didn't have to take our crap... read more

Amazing food. It's everything a truly good Mexican food restaurant should be. Love this place, the atmosphere, the fact that it's hidden away so the locals can enjoy it, but still tell the outsiders to "Go here! It's great!" read more
