    Carnitas Chimichanga!
    Ramon F.

    This was my first visit inside Manuel's at this location. The restaurant is quite nice and has a nice setup which makes it almost like you have your own private table. The service is excellent. We were given some chips and salsa and ordered our drinks. The server returned to take our orders and I ordered the carnitas chimichanga and my better half ordered the chicken chimichanga. When our plates came to our table our food was nice and hot. We had munched on some chips and salsa before hand and their salsa is tasty. The chimichangas were delicious and came with rice and beans. The rice was cooked perfectly. Overall we enjoyed our dinners and we will return. Great place to dine out. They have plenty of parking to accommodate their customers. I also meant to add the correct photo

    Our server was amazing :) helpful and service with a smile. Place was designed with red hearts :) it was Valentine's Day weekend. The chips were perfect, thin and crispy! I got the fish tacos and they were yummilicious --- the fish was big and flavored well.

    came here tonight with a group of 5 and food was great! service was... eh. and there was a lot of flies and they never came to clear our plates, a little frustrating since we had a party of 5 we def needed that room lol. the flavor of everything though was delicious and the prices weren't too bad either.

    We come here often but been many years since I have left a review. Out of the many meals I have had here I cannoli remember a bad on or even a mediocre one. Their salsa is very good. We have always got good to excellent service. I got their Monday taco, enchiladas special. You get enough food for two meals. They have a bar area with tables and booths. In the back there is plenty of space to bring the family to eat.

    Pollo especial

    Love Manuel's! We are big fans of Mexican food and we consistently enjoy dining here. The pollo especial is delicious! Great chips and salsa. Good service. Fun atmosphere. What more do you need?

    Chimichanga, senior or lunch menu. Shredded beef filling. Delicious and a great value.
    Sudie A.

    What a fun and delicious place to eat! The senior choice of chimichanga was perfect for a quick bite. And the chips and salsa were so Fresh! I recommend the hot salsa. There was a short wait. But the staff were friendly and I was greeted and seated before you knew it. Even the bar was full. Every one was raving about the margaritas. I'm definitely coming back soon. Manuel's was recommended as a top choice by local friends. And they did not disappoint. Thank you for a nice dinner.

    I don't know how I've never done a review for Manuel's! I've been coming here since I was a kid and honestly forgot about it for a while until recently! Customer service is so friendly, it's clean and the food is consistently great. The lunch specials are good pricing with plenty of food. I've had tacos, chimichanga, burritos, cheese crisps etc over the years. My go to depending on how hungry I am are tacos or chimichanga. I LOVE their salsa and chips and have had awesome experiences with to go orders as well. We will stop in again soon!!

Put your name in at reception and you were taken back usually after a small weight. We didn't have to wait yesterday. The servers are really friendly and checked on a frequently refilling hubs soda a few times without him having to ask. Our waitress also brought us an extra bowl of spicy salsa because she saw we had eaten all of it. Just brought us another basket of hot and chips. On our first visit, I got enchiladas and instead of rice and on the side I decided to choose their potatoes. The potatoes are so delicious. I love them, and I will look forward to these again when we return. Today we ordered: - Coke - Diet Coke (no Coke Zero here) - NACHOS GRANDE - Tortilla chips, cheddar & Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, jalapeños. Choose seasoned ground beef, slow-roasted chicken or refried beans, or for an extra dollar, substitute fire-grilled steak or chicken fajita. I chose the chicken fajita protein topping. I ordered this for an entrée, but it would be a really good appetizer for 3 to 6 people. It's almost like cheese crisps, halved, with lots of melted cheese and a small amount of meat on each tortilla half. In the center there are toppings. I enjoyed the pickled jalapeños because they weren't extra hot. This hit my comfort food spot. I wasn't able to eat the whole thing so it was so big, but it was exactly what I was looking for. - THE GRANDE COMBINATION - Beef, chicken, cheese enchiladas, cheese chile relleno, tamale, crispy beef taco, guacamole. This combination is HUGE! Even the plate is grande. Absorbed this, and I think his eyes were larger than his stomach. He filled up on the beans and the rice, the chile relleno, and the taco. He got to take three enchiladas and a tamale for dinner the next night. A very nice tasty plate. Complementary chips and three types of salsa are brought to the table. Of the salsas, one is a red sauce that is mild, one is a pineapple tomatillo, and one is a spicier red salsa. The chips are nice and fresh and thin and brought to the table warm. Men's and women's restroom near the entrance for customers.

Are the they best nachos? No. Are they very good nachos? Absolutely, but you have to ask them to use shredded cheese instead of the queso. Shredded cheese is objectively better than queso on nachos and how Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya originally made them over 80 years ago. (I literally just learned about him today) My wife always gets a chimichanga and loves them. Again probably a four star chimichanga. My absolute favorite thing about Caramba's? The Primo margarita. Oh. My. God. It's possibly my favorite margarita ever. They're a little too strong for my wife, but in my opinion, seriously one of the best margaritas I've ever had. It's probably best that we don't have a location closer to our house because I'd be eating nachos and drinking Primo margaritas at least weekly. It's a family favorite as well. The kids always get mini chimis and horchata and love it. The service is always good. The food is better than average. The prices are great. I can't wait to go back.

But last night I was mortified by the lack of service and embarrassed that I invited my friends to come for Taco Tuesday. I get it: 1 bartender on a busy night who got quickly overwhelmed and behind. And then couldn't catch up. So service was a failure. But when you have five older women who are so frustrated they are actually thinking of walking out on their tab? Ball has been dropped. We waited over 15 minutes to place our first drink order; waited for our drinks; bartender never returned so we ended up ordering our food in the other section; and then gave up on ever getting any more drinks. By the time I got my food order, which got lost on the line, the rest of my party had finished eating. Funny, when we started to complain about the lack of service? Our checks magically appeared which should have swiftly and politely have been comped. The food here is pretty good but it's not enough to bring me back. And that's unfortunate. When I was running restaurants we always put a premium on customer satisfaction and the customer experience. Our complaints about a lack of service should have swiftly been addressed with a gracious "you are right. Let us buy your drinks." Or "something." Anything. An apology. A recognition that "we could have done better." It's not the servers' fault, but they would benefit from strong leadership on busy nights. Note: after complaining they did cut our bar tab as some sort of compensation, which we paid along with what we paid for our food. I Hope management sees this and begins to ramp up staffing on their busy nights because it's not fair to staff. On busy nights you need a strong leader who is not afraid to take control - and expeditors! I also hope management empowers their onsite managers. For takeout, I will continue to recommend.
