The margarita was good. The food was okay, not much flavor. I had the combination, chile relleno and a cheese enchilada.

don't look for a Mexican food in the valley. We found the best. Manuel's Mexican food, 12801 N. Cave Creek Rd, 602-971-3682 They have 7 location throughout the valley. It is family owned. Met John, who has been the general manager for 35 years. Most...employees have been with the restaurant for over 20 years. Chana, the sister of the owner goes from restaurant to restaurant and checks on quality control. Now to the food. They have a happy hour Mon. - Friday from 3:00 pm -6:00 pm. They serve the best Margaritas. Happy hour has drink and food specials. They serve lunch and dinner. We had the green Hatch Chili stew, outstanding. Great flavor. So So are the Green Corn Tamales, the homemade Tamales with beef or green corn. No matter what you order, you will be back. Prices are very reasonable. You'll find something for everyone. Take out, Appetizers, lunch specials, Soup and salads. One of their specialties are Achiote Shrimp rolled Quesadilla and the Fish Tacos Try it and you want to tell all your friends. A clean restaurant, well seated apart and not only the best food and Margaritas but the service is great.More

We were looking for someplace to get some lunch and Trip Advisor lead the way with Manuel’s which was very close to us. We were quickly seated and provided with a heaping basket of chips and big bowl of salsa. Luis introduced himself and collected...our order. We went with a quartet of street tacos and an order of taquitos. The food did not take long to arrive and I will have to agree with Luis that the steak tacos are the real deal. The real surprise was the taquitos. So soft and flavorful on the inside, yet crunchy with a discernible flavor. So often the shells lack flavor but not in this case. In and out in 30 minutes for under $20 bucks, feeling completely satisfied..... priceless.More

We decided to try this place and to my surprise it was delicious. They have really good mexican food. I had the green corn tamale and cheese enchilada with rice and beans. So delicious. Great service and I will definitely go back here.

Our first trip here was outstanding. We sat at the bar and had a wonderful time. Tonight not so good. We sat outside and had to rely on a server to assist us. Asking for water, napkins and set-ups isn't my idea of table service....More like help yourself. The wait for a server was longer than it should have been and it went down hill from there. Overall the service was rated a 2 with the kicker coming with the check. We had their fajitas and realized the bill had an up-charge for the shredded cheese and lettuce that you use for toppings. Sorry but where I come from those are the standard toppings, along with possibly salsa, that come with the dish. Similar to tacos.... shredded cheese, lettuce, salsa. The amount was around $3. It's not the amount but the principal. Don't have your server ask..." would you like cheese and lettuce" and then not to finish the statement..."There is an up-charge for it" I had family with me and was going to show this place off. BIG MISTAKE ON MY PART> There are too many better Mexican restaurants here in Phoenix.More

A busy place indicating its popularity. Excellent food and lots of it. Good and friendly service, right prices. Good usual selection. Clean and nicely decorated providing the right atmosphere.

We are frequenters of Manuel's Mexican Food. We used to go to their 90th ST/Mountain View location in Scottsdale regularly, but then downsized to N. Phoenix from Scottsdale, and this location is most convenient to us. It is a good-sized restaurant, and they can accommodate...our large family when we meet up. We also enjoy a smaller party in a booth. I love their salsas (both mild and hot). I love their cheese crisps...including one with chiles on it. I tend to order combos or ala carte items including some or all of the following: shredded beef taco, cheese enchilada (or cheese and onion), and/or bean tostadas. Theirs never disappoint me. Service has been very good when we go. We will continue to visit this restaurant.More

I was visiting my Mother in Phoenix and saw Manuel's . The next day I tried it for lunch , wow ! Service was great and the food was hot and terrific . Since I live in Florida this was a great way to remember...the South Western foods . Thankx for making a tourist feel welcome .More

We eat at Manuel’s at least one time every time we visit Phoenix, so I would guess we have been there a half dozen times. The food, and service, have always been top-notch, and we will continue to go back. I especially like the skirt...steak, and both the mild and hot versions of their salsa.More

We love Mexican food, so as we drove past we decided to give this place a go.The starters were very tasty and filling but my main course was just edible. I had to get someone over to find our waiter as we waited nearly half...an hour once we’d finished our starters.More
