We happened upon this cute little Mexican restaurant while driving. It was well attended, as the parking lot showed. Always a good sign. To our delight, there are various places outside. These as you like shady or sunny. The service was super fast and very friendly. The menu is good and the prices are moderate for the place. The food was super tasty, the portions were generous. We drank water on this hot day and, very attentively, the service came to the table after a short time with a cool carafe of more water to refill.Parking: Large parking lot means no parking problems

Really tasty meal. Our waitperson was excellent and she was pleasant. The only ding is we wanted more chips & salsa and it took forever to find the busser, flag him and get more. Pricing wasn't too bad considering. We'll go back!

Avoid Avoid AvoidWe walked in the door and let them know it was our first time there. Instead of a typical "so glad to see you" we got a "huh".After getting seated in their patio area, I asked if they had any vegan options and the host proudly said they had a whole vegan menu.They brought out printed page that literally had NOTHING vegan on it. Everything was either seafood or had cheese.I got a veggie fajita (hold the sour cream and cheese). My wife got fish tacos (she's not vegan).Fish TacosPretty obvious they were frozen deep-fried fish sticks that were microwaved. She ate 1/2 of one and we tossed the rest.FajitasI asked if I could get them without squash. They said no ("already pre-mixed"). Ugh. I basically got a plate of warm squash and zucchini, with a couple scraps of onion and some canned corn. Although it was on a traditional fajitas tray, it wasn't sizzling and there was no singe to the food. The best part of the meal was the flour tortilla, which I'm pretty certain was coated in sugar.Oh yeah, the margarita tasted like the bottle of mixer you can get at Costco.$60 for two people for some of the worst Mexican food we've ever had.There are so many other options in the area, you should really avoid this one.On the plus side, they had a live band.On the down side, one of the singers was pretty pitchy.

We had a lovely meal on the patio...it was crazy busy and understaffed, but Lori was wonderful, and our food was total delish.

At Manuel's, the culinary offerings hover comfortably above the ordinary, showcasing flavors that evoke satisfaction. While the food is generally pleasing and we've experienced good service in the past, the last few visits have been marred by inconsistent hospitality. Despite these recent setbacks, Manuel's remains a promising spot for those seeking a savory journey, with the hope that service quality will match the excellence of its cuisine.
