We would go here again. The food was good. The service was a little slow but the staff was friendly.
They have good food the spinach enchiladas are great my husband loves the fish tacos 🤤 waitress' are great it's clean
Truly a GREAT, if not WONDERFUL place to eat. I've led my motorcycle group to this establishment several times (10-16 people), and we have NEVER been disappointed. The service is always good and food outstanding. Our waitress are above the best, Silvia and Aobdulia, worked very hard to make sure we treated like family.
We asked locals where to go for good Mexican food. We were told Manuel’s. We are so glad we listened. We were immediately welcomed by our server named Sylvia. Sylvia made sure we had our drinks quickly. She was friendly and funny and authentic. The food was delish. We both had the same dish… I can’t remember what it was called, but delish. Sylvia really made us feel welcome and that made the delish food even better. When we return to Casa Grande we will dine at Manuel’s again.
Went up for our monthly meet up/cruise with our Lady Challengers of AZ Dodge Challengers car group. We had 7 ladies and they got us in right away. They put us all on our own check at no extra charge. Chips, beans and salsa were AMAZING! Everyone were so happy to see us and they even went out and took their own pictures of our cars. A must stop if you are in Case Grande!
So good! Their breakfast was delicious. I got the Huevos Chiliquilies. Our service was wonderful. I will definitely be going back!
We always enjoy breakfast here. Coffee Carnitas plate (Hubbys favorite) Huevos Rancheros
Amazing food, great service. Enchiladas Sonora are fantastic. Been coming here for many years, plan to come for many more. Thanks!
First time here, really enjoyed it. The fajita meat was the most flavorful! Best I’ve ever had. Loved the raspberry tea too. Our waitress, Sylvia, was very attentive and personable. Really enjoyed the experience and will definitely return🙏🏻✨
I’ve been coming to Manuel’s for over 15 years, and it’s still one of my absolute favorite spots for authentic Mexican food. The service has always felt like family, warm, welcoming, and genuine in a way that is hard to find these days. I always order the enchiladas de camarón and a margarita, and they never miss. Every meal leaves me full, happy, and already thinking about when I can go back . It is the kind of place that never disappoints and still feels like a hidden gem, even though it is a true staple of the city. If you are looking for a great meal and a place that gets it right every time, Manuel’s should be your go to.
