I can't express how sad I was when Fernando's closed, but felt revived when I heard Manny's was on the way to fill the empty space. The interior has been completely refreshed - more elegant with cooler temperature colors and less wood tones. Service was excellent and we had several managers stopping by to check on us throughout our lunch. The lunch menu provides several options at the $14 price point (as of March 2026). I had chicken fajita tacos and found the plate portions perfect for a filling lunch that was neither too much or too little. In this economy, I felt it was a good value. read more

My friends and I went on a Saturday night and it was packed, so definitely make reservations. Free chips and salsa are always a win, and the ambience was cute and lively. I got the blackened salmon and it was cooked perfectly medium. The mango sauce was sooo good, I just wish they gave more of it. The veggies and rice were just okay. I also tried the viral margarita swirl and was honestly surprised how good it was -- the chamoy topping really makes it, and the waiter even asked if I wanted to record before pouring it on lol. I recommend the guava/pineapple swirl! Only cons was the wait for a refill on waters and the wait on the check. Without the margarita swirls, I'd say it's a pretty standard Tex-Mex spot. read more

I was a Fernandos loyal customer. So I anxiously waiting to see what was going to happen with the space. I was excited it was Tex/Mex hoping it stood up to Fernandos food and also service. I found out it was Mannys....ok...could be a hit or miss as I've went to the Manny on Campbell and not impressed, the Mannys in Sachse i enjoyed the food. Every Mannys is different food and service. I go to the Cityline Manny after a few delayed openings it finally open. First few visits good food but service slow, as far as swinging back around to see if anything was needed. Couple of times bring food to the table that we didn't order. I shrug it off they're are opening. I've been able to make reservations which I like and they so far have been on point on sitting the party in a timely manner. The last visit was dismal and I was embarrassed as I sold it as you're going to like this place. We got seated ordered our drinks. Drink come with little to no ice and of my guests literally asked for ice repeatedly and it was a hit and miss if it would be brought, ran out of water and couldn't get more water, finally had to tap someone for water. I was ready to get up and pour my own water. Refills of tea or reorder of mixed drinks were not offered. I had to order my drink 3 times before getting a second drink. One person had mole and mentioned it was so thick and had a burnt taste, another literally would not eat the meat on her salad. Usually I order jalapeño poppers and get 5 we only got 3 (INCONSISTENT). We then had to wait for our ticket 30 minutes. The first time it happened on a previous visit I thought the waitress was new and overwhelmed we winded up getting our check from one of the 4 hostess. But this visit 6 hostess/manager standing around we couldn't get water, drinks, check. I literally told my guests if it would have been my first time i would not return, 2 said they wouldn't. read more

New addition to cityline I definitely like the food better than the last Mexican restaurant that was there but definitely average Mexican. I work at Cityline so a co worker and myself went for lunch. They have an extensive lunch menu for $14 bucks and that's what we ordered from I had the Birria taco lunch plate Serving size is very small but perfect for me: All items were just ok. Nothing bad to say but the customer service and ambience is 5 stars for sure Free chips and 2 types of salsas I would go back to try the regular menu which is ALSO extensive with tons of choices read more

I came here with a group from work for lunch and the consensus was the food was OK - three stars. The food is a little bit better than Fernando's, thats the place that used to be in the same spot. The decor is kind of outdated. They were actually really busy during lunchtime, which is great. I was surprised because I don't think they're the best food in city line but I'm happy for them since they're new. read more

A story popped up in my news feed as I was scrolling regarding Mannys new concept. More Mex Less Tex. 20 years ago, Mannys established itself as a go to Tex Mex restaurant. I guess they are branching out to follow a trend of more interior Mexican and Latin American. The restaurant itself is attractive, spacious, comfortable and well designed. Located in a multi use complex amoung the State Farm buildings off Renner rd and Central expressway,you wouldn't know it was here,unless you knew. Hence,the advertising worked as the place was busy to have opened days ago. Our waitress was obviously inexperienced but,pleasant and got the job done. The seating was comfortable with views of the restaurant broken up strategically by the designers. Nice. The menu is extensive and to my surprise had quite a bit of Tex Mex. More interior Mexican and Latin American was covered in areas like chef specials. I was keeping my consumption down or probably would have opted for the short rib. It was served one table over and looked promising. I had the mole chicken enchiladas with rice and black beans. The mole was smokier and a little darker than others around town but good. My dinning partner had Redfish tacos on corn tortillas which were also very good. Overall nothing really great or wrong with Mannys Mexican Kitchen. However,it seems to have joined the club occupied by Mi Cocina and Glorias which aren't my fave style of food. My standard is just down the street at Popasitos. Finally we agreed that while good,we probably wouldn't rush back to Mannys Mexican Kitchen. You decide for yourself when you..... Go! Good Luck Manny read more

Great drinks and food, but we had a poor experience with the bartender Jose, which really dimmed our experience. My friend and I ordered two soft serve margs at the bar while standing. We later found seats and when the bartender came up to us, we shared that we already ordered a drink each and tabbed out. He then proceeded to make our drinks right away unprompted since we were still waiting for them. 10 minutes later, our original drinks came out so now we had two drinks each. The bartender then came to us asking if we were going to pay for the second drink. We both said no since we only wanted one and that we would give back the second one. He said that he couldn't take them back and that it was okay. The problem we had was that after that discussion, he came to us 2 more times asking us to pay for the second drinks we received, after we already said we didn't want to. This was extremely frustrating because not only were we extremely communicative about already ordering, we also tried to give back the second drinks only to be denied. So to receive passive comments about us refusing to pay was upsetting. I understand it's a busy day and everyone is busy/stressed, but my friend and I were also very communicative. Don't think it was fair for us to be pressured to pay for drinks we didn't order, especially over a mistake that wasn't ours. Other than that, drinks and food were good. Hope they can learn from this and that no one else has this experience. read more

The entrees tasted good, fresh, and were presented nicely. Queso was fully grease and not cooked correctly. It was hard and oily showing that it was cooked too hot. My favorite part was the soft serve margarita. I highly recommend the tajin rim with the mango soft serve and chamoy on top and the large entrees. The waitress was nice but the hostess staff seemed so uninterested and had sat us in a section different from our reservation. The service was slow and many of the staff seemed so young read more

First impressions are lasting but I will give the mgr Juan credit for correcting the staffs mistakes and giving me respect for being overlooked for 15min. Beautiful Tuesday patio dining at 6pm and there seemed to be limited servers on shift. I requested my tip go to the overworked female server who was very kind and personable Food- excellent Service- needs improvement Ambience- perfect at Cityline The quality of service did not match the price I invested in my meal. There is opportunity for management to upgrading their services before the crowds arrive! read more

I really wanted to love this place, but the service was honestly unacceptable. I came here for my birthday to try the soft serve margaritas, and while the drinks and atmosphere looked great, the experience was ruined by being completely ignored. We sat for nearly an hour without anyone asking if we wanted an appetizer and had to flag someone down just to order the brisket queso. After our drinks were dropped off, we waited another 30 minutes to try and order food. I received the queso and never even received chips, so I couldn't eat anything the entire time. What made it worse was watching a large table next to us get fully served--orders taken, food delivered, plates cleared, to-go orders, and even to-go boxes--before we were ever asked about a main course. Being ignored that long, especially on a birthday, is unacceptable. I left hungry, frustrated, and disappointed. I won't be rushing back. read more

We had to wait 45 minutes which would have been okay if the food and service were good but NOT. Tortillas soup at a Tex-mex place should be good but it had no flavor. We had ok service and had no choice but to sit outside because of the wait. We won't be back. read more

This place is a vibe! Interiors were beautiful, lots of patio seating in a cute part of town. Sat at the bar, and the service was great even though they were swamped with an event going on. Had the viral soft serve margaritas and they were amazing, highly recommend half guava half pineapple. Pleasantly surprised about the food too! Loved the queso and birria quesadillas. They ran out of consome which was disappointing but regardless was great. Highly recommend!! read more

My energy bigger than every mf in there combined, and some of the employees didn't like that lol. There was an hour wait I didn't mind until I felt like I was purposely ignored after I received a text that a table was ready 3 times they still had me wait which was intentional atp bc they closed at 9:30 or 10 pm and it was 9pm. But my issue is with that little piggy girl with glasses they had at the door checking ppl in, that little heifer had a nasty attitude and spirit and if I ever see her again she better hope I choose to the bigger person like I did. read more

Service wasn't well, soft served margaritas are really good just presentation not like the videos that are posted. Took like 40 mins to get someone to order our drinks, after we complained. read more

I went on Cinco de Mayo, and everything was amazing! The food was absolutely delicious full of flavor and clearly made with care. The service by Jose was outstanding. He was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back! And the soft serve margaritas are definitely a pick over all recommend read more

Service was below average i mean seriously.. we waited at the bar for nearly 10 minutes and watched the servers chit chat before asking if we needed help when she clearly stood and looked at us the whole time. Then had the worst attitude! I will never come to this establishment nor will i refer this place to anyone that I know. 0/10 for sure! read more

I have stopped by a few times during lunch and each time it is pleasant. This area needed a mexican restaurant again. Recently i had the Pasilla short rib that I saw on a fox4 segment and it was delicious. They have a variety of dishes and drinks, I am excited to try dishes I have not heard of. Interior looks great, it is definitely different from what the previous restaurant used to be. I will be a regular here. read more

We are excited for this new location near us! The food was delicious, brisket queso, kids taco and kids enchilada, and then my husband and I split the ribeye fajitas. We went on one of their first nights open and they were very busy and clearly working out some logistic kinks regarding staffing and food timing but everyone was kind and the food was fresh and flavorful. read more
