| - Just relocated here from Florida with my family & we were in need of some Mexican food even though our fitness trainers would strongly disagree, lol!! Well after reading Manuel's history we figured that this may be the real deal even though they've grown into a chain & we were thankfully pleasantly surprised. Despite reading some negative short stories on this restaurant by people who can't even show their face, those are normally the first reviews we always disregard, come on people you're afraid the next cook may spit in your food, lol!! Besides that we got a great server, Cindy who was very attentive & had some great suggestions, we ended up starting with the Patron margarita on the rocks, yes it hit the spot. We also had the complimentary chips & salsa, the salsa was beyond perfect, not too puréed but also not too chunky. My hubby had the steak fajitas & he said they were delish, he used all of the flour tortillas which is something he normally doesn't do!! I went with the taco salad with chicken & OMG it was so frickin good the shell had such a perfect crunch to it & the chicken had huge chunks of chicken breast!! Yes I ate about the whole damn thing & I will tell no one but you my fellow yelpers because I so cheated & this will not be logged into my fitness pal, lol!! As far as ambience & us being from Miami, yes we were way overdressed, this is your definite super casual spot but then again we are slowly learning that Phoenix overall is a pretty laid back place which is a okay with us, just some readjusting is all we've got to do!! Would we go back, yes definitely & we'd ask for Cindy without a doubt.
