“Tacos El Manny is the best Mexican food you'll ever find!

Birria anything is an absolute must, and every style torta is incredible as well.
Really you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but somethings are a non-negotiable must-have.
Reasonably priced, for high quality food!
The staff are incredible; kind, patient, fast, and work great as a team.
Family owned by amazing people!
Always great to support small business!

Any time my husband and I have to eat at any other Mexican restaurant, we sadly compare that it's never as good as Tacos El Manny.
Well worth any effort you have to make to eat at Tacos El Manny!“

“¡La cerveza más fría de la ciudad!“

“this is the best Mexican restaurant in Missouri. Gabriel our waiter could not have been better. the food is great and we will travel to this restaurant again and again.“

“Nice atmosphere. I went for the first time on Cinco De Mayo so things were limited when it came to drink sizes and etc. My birra tacos were really good and had a great crisp to it. My favorite was the guacamole appetizer. It was seasoned well with some really good homemade chips on top. I also ordered a coconut margarita. It was the best margarita I've ever had. It was very busy at noon but I definitely will be back on a regular day and try their flights they did not offer when I was there.“

“Love the food! Staff is always friendly!“

“Mariachi’s Mi Tierra y Mas is the real deal. Best seafood platters in the state—seasoned perfectly, big portions, and always fresh. Gloria and the crew run a tight ship—fast, friendly, no BS.

Do yourself a favor and get the Presidenta margarita. This place delivers every time.

Don't bother with the other Mariscos in the area. You'll be disappointed“

Highly recommend and definitely ask for Areali!!“

“I love the burgers!🍔 🍔🍔🍔🍔“

“A good option for a great Mexican dinner.
The place is fairly small, but service is good and the food is excellent.
They have several good vegetarian options on their menu, but not as many as some other similar restaurants nearby.
Prices are a little higher than some other similar places in the area.
We enjoyed our meal here with family and will likely return sometime:“

“The BEST! The food is absolutely perfect and authentic. Great service. 100% worth a little drive, and the market is amazing.“

“We ordered outside their delivery venue. The gentleman called and was so kind and apologized for the error. We went to go and get our order and they had a huge slice of cheesecake waiting for us along with the tip in cash we had put on our order. Very kind, food was great and this establishment exceeded our expectations. We will be back to eat in person just for their awesome service. Well done, Don Chencho!!“

“Birria tacos are amazing! I recommend getting the corn tortillas. I was very impressed!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food and service! Tim and I had Tienda El Ranchito tonight for dinner. Sarah was our waitress and she was amazing! Look for the girl with the gorgeous hair. The food was incredible, best Pico and homemade chips, my taco platter was divine and Tim had a seafood platter with fish, shrimp, scallops, and octopus in a delicious sauce. I even tried a beef tongue taco! I may never go back to ground beef ! 🫶🏻 Margarita and Chelada both on point! Wow! Outside of The Yucatán Peninsula best Mexican food and service we've had in years! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

Had a great experience at Taco Bell! The food was delicious, and the service was absolutely amazing. A special shoutout to “Rebecca”, who attended us. She was incredibly sweet, friendly, and helpful. Since we’re vegetarians, she went out of her way to check if we needed any help with the order and made sure we had no trouble choosing the right items.
Really appreciated the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you, Rebecca, and the Taco Bell team!“
