Reviews for Manuel's Mexican Restaurant & Cantina in Scottsdale, AZ

I've been to a few Manuel's in the valley. This one is the best so far. We dined in the bar area and found out they have a band... Wednesday through Saturday nights. My boyfriend ordered the street tacos and loved them. I ordered the #1 (green chiliburro/cheese enchilada/beans). Delicious. Our server was so nice and checked on us regularly. If I could give them more stars Iwould. Read more

Locally Owned Mexican Restaurant Sometimes friendly service, inconsistent food (sometimes good, other times not so good)! Strong... Margaritas! The Frozen Strawberry Margarita is my favorite! Just wish it would stay frozen until finished! They have a reallygood band that plays Wednesday-Saturday nights starting at 6:30pm in the bar area with a small dance floor where regulars enjoydancing swing, chacha, rumba , etc. Happy Hour is M-F 3-6 and Sat 11am-4pm with $5.50 for regular margaritas and $1 more forflavored! There?s a few food options on the HH Menu?I like the chicken taquitos, except when they?re not so good. ComplimentaryChips and Salsa are yummy! There?s a separate inside dining room and two outdoor patios right in front. Busy place. Plenty ofparking! Read more

Amazing food. Been to plenty of Manuel's but I loved this location out of them all. Usually have the shredded beef enchiladas... but felt like having a brunch so I ordered the steak Ranchero with eggs over medium and rice and beans, definitely hit the spot.Thankyou to my waitress at the bar that accommodated breakfast for me at 2 in the afternoon and the chef, it was delicious. Thereason my hubby and I will continue to come here. Read more

Im still trying to make out what were those chile rellenos i ate, and why they had so much cheese, especially mozzarella cheese.... I thought i was eating a slice of pizza when the cheese stretches out. Hmmmm it was good but the cheese, to my knowledge,because if anybody knows about chile rellenos, i do. Too much cheese. I didnt enjoy it much to be totally honest. Next time tryfiling those bad boys with cotija cheese, it will make a great difference. Trust me. I live the place for the simple reason,they waiters were very nice team. And the restaurant, beautifully decorated. I forgot to mention, they have live music. Read more

We came back to try the street tacos dinner plate this time and again we were not disappointed. A cold tasty icy house margarita... along with thin fresh tortilla chips and mild fresh salsa was quickly brought and preceding our main meal. Our main order offour little tacos were amply loaded with tender steak chunks sprinkled with diced cabbage. Sides of beans with melted blendedcheese and moist hot Spanish rice were delicious. Regardless of this being a different Manuel's location, the food and theservice has proven to be exceptional and as evident by the locals who consistently frequent their establishments. Read more

I NEVER leave reviews, but this is some of the best Mexican we?ve EVER had and we lived in Southern San Diego for years. The... chips and salsa were amazing. The food was amazing. The service was amazing. If you are questioning whether or not to come here,please do your self a favor and try it! Read more

Food was really good, especially from someone who is from out of town. Probably the best salsa I've had with the customary chips... and salsa you get. I like that they give you 1 spicy option as well. I ordered the Pollo especiale and it was awesome. Thechicken was extremely moist inside the fried tortilla. The rice was presented nicely on the plate and I liked how the put thebeans in a bowl. The only reason for the 4 star instead of 5 was because I felt the service could've been better. The serverwasn't rude by any means but he seemed to skip our table quite often and at the time we were there it wasn't busy and they hadplenty of help. Water glasses were left empty longer than they should have been and waiting to pay the check at the table tooklonger than getting our meal. With average service I would have given a 5 star review. Other than that, for good Mexican food Ihighly recommend this. Read more
