I am Mexican-food picky. This hits ALL the marks: happily family-run, freshly-made dishes, smooth beans, housemade tortillas, not overly-cheesed (aka TexMex), and has a full bar. Even though Amarillo has back-to-back Mexican restaurants, I’d go here again.

El Manantial Restaurant is a great Mexican spot for a casual meal with generous portions and consistent flavor. The chips and salsa came out quickly, and the salsa had a nice kick without being too spicy. My entrée was hot, well-seasoned, and served with plenty of rice and beans, making it a good value for the price. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and family-friendly even when the place was busy. Overall, a reliable place to come back to when you want classic Mexican comfort food done right.

This place is legit. A must stop for quality food. I’ve been wanting to try torta ahogada for years and this was masterfully prepared. Crispy pork drowned in a flavorful sauce with a nice Árbol sauce. I’m in love with this dish and they set the bar high. The Birria tacos were on point with excellent flavor.
Service was fantastic. This is a popular place that the locals go to and for good reason.

Amazing food, beautiful interior design, Jalisco style fresh, delicious, and authentic cuisine. Impeccable service, beans and extra chips free of charge. Great cumbia music. Great prices too!! Can’t say enough good things about this restaurant, so good!
Hands down best restaurant I’ve been to in the state of Texas. Highly highly recommend!!!

Authentic Mexican at its finest. It’s the hole in the wall restaurants that give you the best food that feels like it was made with love. I had the Birria Taco’s which were delicious and full of flavor. I will make a stop here once a week while I’m working here.

The service was swift and attentive. We were met with an accommodating smile and seated promptly. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean. The menudo tasted pretty good and was substantial. Their enchiladas were fair for the price. The real stand out was the corn tortillas; there was just something unique about them. The staff there was great the chefs even lightly seared the enchilada tortillas giving them a very home made feel.

Voted best Mexican food in Amarillo many times. I always go back for the Birria plate and the bisteak.
