I was passing through the town and just happened to drive by this establishment. I noticed the parking lot was full. As if that wasn't a good indicator, there were cars parking along the side of the parallel road to come eat here. Which to me meant the food must be great. My intuition was correct! Despite a very busy lunch hour, I got seated right away, drink and tostadas came out quickly. The aromas from the kitchen flowed the air making everything look good on the menu. I chose the carnitas plate and it arrived quicker than I anticipated which was good because I had already eaten half of the chip basket ? Now, I'm from South Texas, meaning I'm very spoiled when it comes to great Mexican food. The carnitas were the best I've ever had. Great flavor, super tender, and a chingon sized serving. The restaurant is tucked in the city but quite the gem! Very lucky locals!!
Reasonable prices. Awesome enchiladas and service!
Manuel’s has authentic Mexican food. Enchiladas, tostadas, refried beans, and hot salsa were our favorites. Service was great, and the table was clean. We came with family on a Friday night, and now we know why parking down the street was worth it! This was our first visit, and we’ll be back.
Cozy, friendly, enchiladas were good, beef fajitas were not what we'd hoped.
Excellent enchiladas, tamale, rice and beans dinner. Flauta chicken dry and tasteless. Guacamole bland. Green salsa good. Service slow but only one server for the entire place and it was busy. I guess that’s the new norm.
From Pennsylvania, visiting family (the Ogg's) and asked where to go for Mexican. They said hands down Manuel's! They were correct!! I had the Chilli Relleno.... unbelievable! Margaritas - delicious!! Price- no complaints here! Portions- great value. Armondo? Perfect host! You need to go if you haven't already!!
Great food, hot off the fire tortillas, perfect barbacoa, friendly service, will be back.
I live in Brenham and this is the only real Mexican restaurant in town. Best margaritas and tacos and fajitas in the birthplace of Texas.(order a top shelf)
Not a lot of parking but They've got a little fajita and cheese enchilada buffet that's pretty good ??
Eric took super great care of us. Breakfast was good. We shared some pancakes and split a chorizo and egg breakfast plate. Buffet looked a little sparse for 9am so we ordered with the menu.
