The only thing better than the food was the service. The staff couldn’t be friendlier or more attentive. The skirt steak was cooked to perfection. The tortillas are made fresh in house and you can tell. The mole is legitimately the best I’ve ever had.

Chef Geno of Las Fuentes is the genius behind this amazing Mexican restaurant. Manchamanteles is not your typical Mexican restaurant because their menu is unique and traditional.The floor area is very big. Plenty of tables. You can ask to sample their three kinds of Mole. My favorite starter is the enchilada potosina. The service is also great. They also have tacos if you are really craving for them but it is part of the secret menu. Just ask your server.Parking: Few parking next to the restaurant and more across the restaurant

We had the greatest time at Manchamanteles before the Eagles concert. Right from the beginning we were welcomed with smiles and seated right away. I mentioned we were in a bit of a hurry going to the concert and they were spectacularly attentive. The service was excellent all around. The food is superb. The ceviche was fresh and perfect to share. The Borrego en mole negra (lamb chops in mole) was extremely delicious, served with mashed potatoes. The new seafood dish, which replaces the scallops, was fantastic - mussels, squid, shrimp. We were very happy with our experience, even my small chat with the Chef was very casual and pleasant. Don't miss this gem!! I'll be back.

I'm going to dream about the lamb chops with black mole - one of the best I've ever had. The tortilla soup was terrific. The service was perfect - friendly and attentive. And parking!

I LOVE mushrooms, and they have wonderful woodland mushroom veggie enchiladas. They are SO good. Manchamanteles is known for its mole, and one person in our group had a chicken dish with mole and said that it was good, although the chicken was slightly dry. Our table ordered a pitcher of their especial margaritas with premium liquor. They serve a full pitcher with the glasses already filled--a nice detail--but the mix seemed to be a bit shy on liquor. The restaurant is huge, and early on a Saturday night it was busy, but our group was seated right away. Service was attentive and friendly. Some of the meat entrees are exceedingly expensive, like the $149 Tomahawk steak (although, I know that's an expensive cut of meat), but otherwise prices are inline with other better restaurants. Manchamanteles is a great choice if you're looking for decent Mexican food.

Just had a wonderful dinner here last night. The flavors in the guacamole, ceviche, and black mole were especially memorable. The restaurant is a big, fun, family-friendly space, but the food is serious! Can't wait to come back.

Don’t let the classic decor fool you, the food here is top notch and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere says casual, but the food is definitely trending towards fine dining. The drinks are also nothing but delicious.

Incredible, incredible Mexican food and such a fun, cute space. I am always on the lookout for places who specialize in enchiladas de mole, and thankfully Manchananteles is leading the charge in the area. So excited for what this will bring to the neighborhood - can’t recommend highly enough!
