The Mexican food is terrific. Great value for the price. The atmosphere in the restaurant is welcoming and the owner is lovely. They have a great beer selection. We'll be back again and again.

Terrible food and wine. Nice and clean atmosphere. All the food seemed Old and the salsa tasted like ketchup. Old guacamole.

The most friendly staff! And really funny too :-) they save the day with our last-minute Tamale request! And even helped me out to my car with them. This will be my new go to, and I love that it’s a little hidden hole in the wall. Located inside Marin, Medical Center, go through the gates that you pass on the left and it’s toward the back. Easily missed but once you get there, you’ll definitely be back. Thanks again guys!

This place is great! Me and my friend enjoyed it immensely. I had the Joe Strummer, and she had the Enchilada Verde. My friend remarked how delicious the rice was, but she loved all of it! I thought the Strummer was particularly delicious--loved the mole sauce...the whole meal was a treat! Joe would be proud 100%. Will come back many times more.

After bringing my cute and sweet 7-year-old calm dog there for many years they now have disallowed all dogs outside even though the medical office building allows dogs on leash. They don't even post it correctly because the sign that says no dogs allowed implies it's for inside the restaurant. Goodbye forever Casa

My friend was interested in grabbing a burrito when we met up for lunch, so we picked this place after seeing it on Yelp and another friend recommending it to me. It looks like a casual spot where you place your order at a counter, but it's a sit-down restaurant. Grab a table and one of the friendly workers will come by to drop off menus and take your order. On my visit, I got a watermelon agua fresca and combo plate with one fish taco and one shrimp taco. I wasn't crazy about the shrimp taco - it was a little too "wet" for my liking and I would have preferred jumbo shrimp over the baby shrimp. Still, I would come back to try the burrito the friendly woman recommended, which was one that I had had my eye on on the menu (the Caesar Chavez). As far as ambience, it's nice that they have an outdoor seating area, though chairs look like they could be wiped down. Also, there's just one restroom/toilet that might possibly be for all the businesses in that complex. Parking in the lot was plentiful on a Saturday, and I was told restaurant customers are allowed to park in the lot. If you want to walk off some of that food, nearby Fourth Street is good for wandering around as it has some shops and galleries.

I have a difficult time with Mexican food. My sister was married to a chef from Yucatán, so I got used to really good Mexican food. Most places are dreary, serving the same things in a cheaply cooked package that is mas o menos sad. But Casa Manana 2 is not one of those places. The Frida Kahlo burrito is mucho mejor than the standard fare. It has tropical flavors, a little pineapple, a little mole, the tortilla isn't rubber, it's sooo good! The place is clean, fun decorations and the staff is really prompt and nice. It's on the $$ side but I'd rather pay a fair price for something good.

This is one of my very favorite restaurants. I order from Casa Manana frequently. It is consistently delicious!

This restaurant may make decent burritos or tacos, but we went specifically for the chile en nogada, and it was a tremendous disappointment. The beef version was essentially a pepper with a hamburger stuffed inside and some tasteless white sauce over the top; the vegetarian version was no better. If you have had the real thing, avoid this place.

Little mom and pop place, great ambiance - you feel like you're in your grandparent's back yard and they just made you a delish home-cooked meal.
