Update: 6-7-23 John was our server. Was very friendly, attentive and efficient. The food was awesome, as usual. The carnitas are amazing. Lots of flavor. Had the carnitas enchilada with rice and beans. Nice and quiet so it's easy to have a conversation. Highly recommend them. Original review: Delicious as usual! We had the enchilada dinner and red chili burrito, enchilada style. We did take out. If you're concerned about covid, they follow all protocols. The order was perfect, food was still hot when we got home. Manuels is awesome! Keep up the good work. UPDATE: Had the craving for some salsa and chips. Still one of the best!

Sweet Mexican restaurant great staff and great food . We all 4 had margaritas and they were all very weak drinks and we wouldn't pay for that again but all else was really good. Can't say enough about the kindness and effort of the staff . We would definitely go again!

I was a little worried when we entered, because the front counter area was pretty dismal and dirty looking. But the interior of the restaurant was clean and comfortable. The food was great, and they were not stingy with the chips and salsa. I had a shredded beef chimi and the beef was flavorful and tender, and was golden brown and crispy on the outside. Everyone else enjoyed their entrées as well. Service was excellent.

TakeOut is always wrong or lacking. Portion and Quality of food is not as it is if you were to eat at the restaurant. Canned chicken is used for the over priced chicken taco. If you order a steak for $21.00 you get pieces of steak with more onions and peppers than you can eat. Attention to detail is lacking. To receive corn rather than flour tortillas as selected is inexcusable. This comes down to bad customer satisfaction.

Great place for food and drinks. Ordered the Carnitas plate and it did not disappoint. Cooked to perfection, the beans and rice were awesome and the chips and salsa were some of the best I've had. Will definitely come here again next time I'm in the area.

I have never had an issue when I visit Manuel's Mexican Restaurant. Yes I'm not a true it is always delicious, the atmosphere always gives play traditional and modern Latin vibe. The service was a little slower than usual, which was disappointing, but the great taste of our meals more than made up for it.

Have been going for a looooong time, and historically was 5 stars across the board, but has gone just a little downhill in recent years. Still decent food, cheese crisp is still 5-star, but the rest is more salty and greasy, and less tasty than before.

From the hostess to the young host-in training, the waitress, Janeth, and the bartender we couldn’t want for more personalized service. We return regularly because the food and drinks are delicious! We mix it up each time and the food never disappoints. My 88 yo friend who is not sure footed returned to use the bathroom and the hostess made sure she was safe walking on the Saltillo tile. Even waiting for her and walking her to the door! Such a kind gesture.

We came in after 8:45, we were sitting in the bar. The bartender was also out waitress... She did such a an amazing job being by herself. It was a joy to watch her be overwhelmed, but smile and make sure we had all our needs met.

Decor is cute. We got service right away. I ordered a Michelada with a Corona and Albondigas. I didn’t know the Michelada was going to be spicy so if you don’t like hot, don’t get it spicy. It had limited salt on the rim. After I drank half I added the rest of the Corona and it tasted terrible. I got only two meatballs in my soup but they were tasty. I’ll give this place another shot.

Took kinda a long time to get my order to go . But the staff was nice and simple. So I didn't make a big deal about it . I was working at the time as a door Dash driver . My delivery understood the delay . All good at the end of the day

The breakfast was good. Service staff kept on top of our needs. The salsa and chips at the start were good too. I got the Tamale with eggs and potatoes. Potatoes were pretty greasy. Rick got the chilli relleno omelet with beans. This was the better of the two dishes.

They have the greatest food ever. I've been coming here for 44 years since I was a child going with my family, and it is better than I ever remembered. The jalapeno cream cheese sauce is better than the mexican restaurant I used to manage. And the chips and sauce were on my table within 30 seconds. I will start coming here more often.

Manuel's has been the corner stone for mexican food in Phoenix for over 40 years. We truly have enjoyed all of the time's we spent at Manuel's with excellent service and perfect presentation of all orders. Thanks to all the staff at Manuel's and many more years of continued flavors of the beast mexican food.

Good food. We asked for two tables instead of one as we were a large group - had to go all the way up to the manager to make that happen. Unfortunate. Bar tab could not be transferred. Equally not great.

The food was good. Chips and salsa were plain to me. The salsa was very fresh and the hot was a smooth sauce not salsa. I give them a 3 on the chips and salsa but the food I ordered was great, big portions, the wait staff was very attentive.

We had the Mangonada Margarita and some chips and salsa. Super delicious! Great bartender! Thanks! They have plenty of delicious meals to choose from here. My opinion is that you can never go wrong with the fundido. This is a similar place

Cheese slipped off cheese crisp, tortilla soup with cold chicken. Burro fell apart. No wonder there is no wait. Owner needs to visit ValleLuna to find out why there is a 1 hr wait.

Definitely one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a restaurant. I first want to start out by saying that there were only about 5 tables being used when we arrived and close to 6 staff waiting on everyone. So it wasn’t busy AT ALL!

We just tried this place because it was near us. ... The ambiance was so good. ... never have been expected it. ...i like it. ... The food was great. ...the service was good. ... Price is just right. ... We had a nice lunch. ...

Waitress was not very attentive to mistakes made in food. Food was bland and tasted microwaved. Took longer to get a drink than our food which i Wish they would have taken more attn to our food. More

A little slow on getting my order to deliver. But staff was nice

Pollo Especial was so flavorful, with a hint of a crunch. The side of beans that came with the yummy Spinach Enchiladas were amazing. How did they do that to beans?

Ate in the bar. Service was great, quick with chips, taking our order, food, and drinks. I love their chimichangas and margaritas.
