These enchiladas hit the spot! The rice and beans were great and they had that authentic flavor if you know you know

The service was awesome too. The food came out very quick, and I like that. Because I was in a hurry. I actually had plans to get something to go. The place literally nice, so I decided to sit down.And eat. I’m very glad I did. I will definitely be back

It’s not a fancy place but you don’t eat decor. Food is well prepared, staff friendly and attentive and drinks good for the price. They have senior & lunch specials. I have passed this place for years was my first time there. Glad I tried it andwill be back.

We absolutely love Manuel’s, and this was our first time visiting the Scottsdale location (we usually frequent the one off Shea). Let me just say, it did not disappoint!

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the hostesses and seated right away, no wait at all, even on a Sunday afternoon. The patio seating looks like it would be amazing during patio season, spacious and welcoming.

Our incredible server, Kelli, made our visit even more enjoyable. She greeted us immediately with the sweetest energy, took our drink orders, and provided service that was above and beyond the entire time. She’s truly a standout in the world of servers, attentive, professional, and genuinely kind.

We were quickly brought their complimentary chips and salsa, which in our opinion, are phenomenal, fresh, flavorful, and addicting. The vibe of the restaurant gives true cantina energy, fun, clean, and full of happy staff who all seemed to love what they do.

We were excited to learn that this location features live music on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, we’ll definitely be back to enjoy that. Great food, drinks, and live music? Yes, please!

As for the food, just as amazing as the Shea location. The consistency in flavor and preparation across locations is seriously impressive. Our family hasn’t had a single menu item we didn’t like. Personal favorites:
• Sour cream enchiladas
• Crunchy shredded beef tacos
• Skirt steak platter
• Chile verde
• Rolled taquitos
• Fresh guacamole

If you’re thinking that’s a long list, it is. We can’t help ourselves, we love the food that much!

Thank you again to Kelli for such a memorable experience. We’ll see you this Wednesday for the live music! Can’t wait!

Good live music but way too loud for a restaurant. Couldn’t hear anything else, the server or each other. 6 of us squeezed into a booth was very tight. 2 orders were incorrect and one was incorrect twice. The wait for the replacement orders was excessive, longer than the original order took. Meat portion in taco salads were the smallest we’ve ever seen. Drink refills were almost nonexistent. Considering the client volume, we expected far better, especially for a weekday evening.

We left another mexican restaurant, that was new in our neighborhhod. Due to bad service, and it was not inviting. Freezing cold they would close a large garage size window, it was dark and cold out. We were hoping for warm tortilla chips with salsa,, which they charged for. The chips never happened. So with only water in front of us, we left. We went to Manuels and their restaurant did not disappoint. Over the top service. Real team work. Kept our chips and salsa full, (complementary) and water glasses full. Wonderful food . THEY were wonderful. Much better prices. I’ll always make this my first choice for Mexican food.

We visited Manuel’s for dinner after we flew in from Florida. We enjoyed our experience there and the food was very good. I had the chicken fajitas, and my wife got nachos. The portion sizes were plentiful, and the food was very fresh. Our waitress was very attentive to us and made sure we had everything we needed. When we come back to town and we are feeling fresh fajitas and nachos, this will be our go-to. We will definitely visit again. I recommend you try this place out if you are in the area. It was nice to be able to go in, order food, and eat in under an hour but still get good quality food and service all at the same time!

Food was surprisingly good for a first visit and it totally held up even compared to my usual spot. We both liked our lunch plates with generous meat, tasty enchiladas and burrito, solid chips and salsa that was not too spicy plus Spanish rice that tasted legit. Service was awesome, parking was easy, the vibe was classic Mexican and I would definitely come back.

An Absolute Disappointment

I’ve been a regular customer of Manuel’s for a while, but after my recent experience with Deirdre, one of the managers at the Mountain View location, I won’t be coming back.

I called in an order for two pulled chicken chimichanga dinners (one with no cheese) and three kids pulled chicken taco meals, all with no cheese. The person taking my order asked if I wanted lettuce and tomato, and I said yes — just on the side. I even repeated the order before hanging up.

When my husband got home with the food, my chimichanga didn’t have any chicken, and all three kids’ tacos were made with beef and cheese — exactly what I said not to include. Only one had the veggies on the side.

I called back and spoke to the same person who took my order. He admitted, “That was the cook’s fault,” but didn’t offer any solution. When I asked for a manager, I was connected to Deirdre, and that’s where things went downhill.

From the start, her tone was curt and defensive. I calmly explained what happened, and she said, “I need to talk to my cook and I’ll call you back.” Her tone was so sharp that I even asked if she was okay — which somehow made her even more upset. She accused me of being angry (which I wasn’t) and said she needed to “investigate both sides.”

She called me back an hour later and said the cook claimed the ticket didn’t say “no cheese,” but that the veggies were on the side — then offered only a store credit, not a refund. I explained again that only one taco had veggies on the side and even offered to send her a picture, but she refused to look at it and repeated, “I’m offering you a solution.” When I said we preferred a refund instead of a credit, she got irritated, said, “You can have the store credit,” and hung up on me.

Our receipt doesn’t mention anything about veggies on the side, yet a big container of them was sent — so her “not on the ticket” excuse didn’t make sense.

I completely understand that mistakes happen. That wasn’t the issue. The issue was how Deirdre handled the situation — with rudeness, zero accountability, and an attitude that made me feel like I was the problem.

We spent $75 on food my kids couldn’t even eat, and instead of being helped, I was treated disrespectfully.

I’m truly disappointed. Never again. I won’t be returning or recommending this location to anyone.
