Manuel's offers a lively and cozy atmosphere with friendly, attentive service that consistently receives high praise. Diners can expect generous portions and a nostalgic take on California-Mexican cuisine. However, experiences with the food are varied, with some dishes criticized for lacking flavor and being overly simplistic. While many guests appreciate the homey vibe and charm of this neighborhood gem, others have left disappointed after their meals. Overall, Manuel's seems to attract a loyal following, yet potential visitors should come with tempered expectations regarding the culinary offerings.

Belly busting late night splurge. Nonsensical menu combos so very expensive to create your own. Great service, decent margaritas, open until midnight.

Always a great experience, friendly staff and the best Margaritas around! Right next to the beach and amazing garden in the back.

This place was really disappointing. Despite the positive reviews, the food was very average. The waiter was not helpful at all.
