Don't recommend this place at all! Not authentic Mexican food for starters. The best thing we had was probably the complementary salsa and chips and the guacamole dip appetizer which was a good amount for the price ($5). Our waiter was nice, our sodas were never dry and she checked on us frequently. My boyfriend got the Baja fish taco platter which I definitely do not recommend. The fish is not fried like it's suppose to be, instead it's made in a stew like sauce with no flavor. Tartar sauce tastes like the buttermilk from jack in the box. I ordered the carnitas plate that comes with rice and beans. The carnitas could have been cooked more but the rice and beans were good. Overall we will not be returning to Manuel's.
