I noticed this restaurant after driving around the back side of the mall. I’m sure that back in the day this was a much busier area, but now there really isn’t anything over there. Manny’s exists as a relic of the past.
And that’s why I think their prices are too high. I’m sure they don’t have the ability to offer low (or even medium) priced options because they don’t receive enough business to afford the lower margins.
I decided to give it a try, just to see how the place was doing. The first thing I noticed was how there were no other customers here at lunchtime.
Starting off with an appetizer of THREE jalapeño poppers, I was already set back $9! And that was it for me. Nothing else on the menu was affordable. Plus, there is an additional credit card charge to get even more money out of you!
There shouldn’t be any shame in closing a restaurant because of changing times. Instead of price gouging to stay alive, they should just let the business go.

Been here several times in the past. It has always been good and this time was no exception.
We always seem to eat here, outside of the normal lunch/dinner rush. When we arrived Sunday mid afternoon, there were only several others tables of customers. Got greeted and seated right away. Our server was super friendly, and got us settled in with menus and waters. We immediately ordered some guacamole, which is fresh and chunky, with excellent chips.
We ordered some drinks, which included a couple margaritas. Our server explained that for only a few more dollars we would essentially be getting two more margaritas, so we took their advice.
We ordered several different entrees, including the special, Calamari Calafia (squid steak). Everything came out in short order, was hot, well seasoned and generous portions. Everyone was raving about the quality. There was a Burrito Bowl, Al Pastor Burrito, Al Pastor Tacos. My Calamari Calafia was outstanding. It came with a Jalapeno Cream Sauce that mildly spicy and an excellent addition to the squid steaks. I love calamari and this was probably the best that I have had. (Friend calamari can be chewy, and this was not).
An awesome meal, as usual. This is our go-to spot for mexican in Eau Claire.

The atmosphere was amazing. Very authentic and comfortable. The food was very good and fresh. Good size portions. The strawberry daiquiri was very good as well as other drinks. I was shopping in Wisconsin from Minnesota and stumbled into Manny’s for dinner. I will be driving from Minnesota to Wisconsin just to experience the fine ambiance and the beautiful surroundings.. The staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the menu. I will definitely be going there again

Manny’s had a great look and feel to it. The food was really good and had lots of flavor. The Jumbo margarita was awesome but was excluded from the “all margaritas are half price on Wednesday’s” so that was kind of a bummer to find out when I go the bill. Overall I had a very pleasant experience. It is definitely spendy but the quality is there.

Great atmosphere. The music wasn’t too load so we could hear each other. The decor was elegant and interesting.
The mojito was perfect and the salsa amazing…homemade I am sure. I ordered the three tacos and I asked for one chicken and one steak and they just mixed the steak and chicken together which made it wven better.
My Mom got the chimi and she loved it. We homemade flan to go because we couldn’t eat a bite more.

Overpriced overall, with some pretty ridiculous and miserly hidden upcharges and fairly poor service. Getting taken advantage of overshadowed what could have been a good meal. Much of the food was quite tasty, and the selection of unusual seafood dishes was impressive, but I would not go back, nor would I recommend the place due to the poor service and the out-of-control billing.

Firstly, Manny himself was a joy to talk to, however I wish we did not have to involve him. Our waitress was deceiving from the outset. We ordered a margarita and she asked us what kind of tequila we would like without telling us that the prices for margheritas listed on the menu are actually for virgin margheritas and tequila is considered an add on. Further, when I ordered a meal without meat or cheese, she asked if I wanted vegetables in my meal, never stating that this would charge extra. She also asked if I wanted soup or salad with my meal, again, never stating that this was not included. We were charged extra for the tequila that should have been included with the margherita, the vegetables ($3??), and the salad ($4). My meal was also topped with cheese when I specifically asked for it to exclude cheese.
The guacamole we ordered was essentially just mashed avocados and tasted as if it did not even have salt.
When we confronted the waitress, she kept referring to the menu and saying that we received those up charges because that information is in the menu (halfway down the page listed under details for a different item). She also stated, “what did you expect to happen when you ordered a soup as one of your meals?” (mind you, their bowls of soup are $10, nearly the cost of a meal). I have never had an experience at a restaurant where wait staff did not give a warning about an upcharge, especially after offering items to you themselves.
Manny did give us 30% off to compensate for his waitress’s actions but that woman most should not be in this business, or honestly in any business involving customer relations.
If you choose to visit this restaurant, ask exactly what every single item is going to cost before you order, because your side (or even your tequila!) might be an upcharge even if your wait staff suggest otherwise.
Edit to add that my fiance got explosive food poisoning after our visit. He had chicken in his meal that likely caused this.
