“The best carne asada dinner and the best carne asada tacos I’ve had in a long time! Tender and tasty and excellent homemade corn tortillas!“

“I went with a family of five. They were very friendly upon walking in. We ordered chilaquiles, Steak dinner, Gorditas, jugos de betabel, carrots and jugo de naranja. They were delicious. Their homemade tortillas were delicious. I loved the sopita that they start you off with. Everything was delicious. You can tell it was fresh and made from scratch. Waiter was friendly and kept checking up on us. Will definitely go back.“

“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO“

“Outstanding! Highly recommended Knowledgeable, friendly staff and incredible experience“

“Estimados encargados de El Solazo: Espero este mensaje les encuentre bien. Me dirijo a ustedes como un cliente frecuente y admirador de su restaurante, en el cual siempre disfruto de una comida deliciosa y un servicio excepcional. Sin embargo, en mi última visita, experimenté una situación que considero importante señalar para su atención y mejora. El día de hoy, martes 26 de noviembre, llegué a cenar a las 8:45 pm confiando en la información publicada en sus redes sociales, donde claramente se especifica que el horario de cierre es a las 11:00 pm. No obstante, a las 9:30 pm ya se estaba anunciando el "último llamado" para bebidas alcohólicas. Además, durante mi estancia, fui testigo de cómo dos familias fueron rechazadas para cenar por el mismo motivo: el restaurante estaba cerrando antes de tiempo debido a "la falta de clientes". Entiendo que puedan surgir situaciones operativas, pero considero que este tipo de decisiones impacta negativamente en la experiencia de sus clientes. Cuando se anuncia un horario de cierre, los clientes planeamos nuestras visitas en base a esa información. De no ser posible mantener el horario anunciado, sería más transparente ajustarlo oficialmente en sus plataformas para que las personas puedan planear con anticipación y, en caso necesario, optar por otras opciones. Por último, quiero mencionar que esta inconformidad fue compartida con nuestra mesera, quien nos escuchó con amabilidad. Sin embargo, creo que esta situación requiere un ajuste desde la gerencia para evitar malentendidos en el futuro. Agradezco de antemano su atención a esta situación y espero que se tomen las medidas necesarias para garantizar que su excelente servicio sea consistente en todos los aspectos. Atentamente, Jesus Jesse Hernández“

“Very nice family run spot!
The birria tacos were around $18 and they were very good. My only complaint is that the meat itself could have had more flavor, I think it was not properly salted. But it was cheesy, meaty, and crunchy. They gave me a ton of consume, too much. That didn’t have as much flavor as I would have wanted either, and salt would have helped. But you could just add salt and everything would be 2x as good.
The rice and beans were pretty good.
Also, the salsas that they have are unfortunately not to my taste. They are very spicy, and I love a spicy salsa, but they lack balance and are very one note. They are spicy without any depth or acidity. You may like this kind of salsa.
But the family was very nice and the food was all very good depending on your tastes. Very high quality and I will be coming back again.“

“the food is always delicious and service is always so kind! I've ordered something different each visit and have never been disappointed! margaritas are great too! love this place so much!“

“I highly recommend Manchamanteles Restaurant! My dining experience was exceptional from start to finish. The food was outstanding, with each dish expertly prepared and presented. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. I will definitely be returning when in town!“

“La comida está deliciosaaaaa😍 quedé impresionada con los jugosos tacos y sobre todo la Quesabirria😍🤤“

“Oooooorale’! We found another hidden gem! (Well not really hidden, lol) este restaurante está riquísimo! For all of you non-Spanish speakers, this place is delicious! It looks small from the outside, but it’s enormous in flavor! It’s a very cute and nicely decorated place. Staff is incredibly nice and helpful. But the food… it rocks! We ordered the Orden de Quesobirria and a Carne en su Jugo and a Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus water) and a Horchata (rice water). The Carne stew was delicious! So many levels of flavors. The birria was fantastic! Levels and levels of flavor. Will definitely be back for the Menudo this weekend. See you all here!“

“Muy rica la comida y buen trato“

“I stopped by with my toddler and was immediately greeted by staff. Ordered the breakfast burrito and a taco and rice for my daughter and the food was delicious. The rice was flavorful, the tortilla was fresh and the best part was the agua de Mango. Will definitely have to stop in again and try other items on the menu.“

“My husband and I went for dinner in restaurant and really enjoyed the atmosphere.

“the best food in town 😋😋😋“

“The vibes of this place was a real throwback! And the taco combo- YUM! Comes with a side of guac, chips, rice, beans, and chicharron! My favorite is the chicken tinga and al pastor 🔥 Shoutout to Luz that took our order, she is incredibly sweet!“

“This was a dinner to remember!! It was so good.. having just got back from Mexico City and being Indian, this was the perfect fusion. I would definitely do tasting menu again.. totally worth it! The seating at the Bar was such a great experience.. talking to the Chef and hearing about each dish.“

“I really like the rooftop during happy hour! I thought the margarita slushy was delicious. The food isn’t mind blowing, but it’s tasty and the space is very cute. Semi-related, I did reach out twice to try and book the space for an event but they never got back to me 🤷🏼‍♀️“

“Had a barbacoa burrito with lime rice and ranchero beans. (Maybe the beans were called something else, can't remember.) Anyway, it was awesome. Very fresh ingredients, meat was cooked and seasoned very well. All three sauces are great; probably liked the plain Verde the best. I ate too fast and didn't take a picture. I'll be back“

“😋 muy deliciosa la comida buen servicio les doy 5 estrellas muy recomendado“

Wait time was not bad and food came out hot and fresh. Food quality was 100/10. I got the puputacos and pupusa. All of the food was so, so delicious. I have been raving about this place and will be back again soon!“

“Está muy Rico!! Sé Los recomiendo al 💯%“

“Came here on a Sunday afternoon and the carnitas were absolutely delicious. I also had the frijoles fritos, agua de horchata, and their salsas and they were all absolutely delightful. I'm originally from Michoacán and these carnitas remind me of the taste from back home. I've had a couple different locations from Carnitas Uruapan and they've both been great.“

“el servicio y la comida son frescas y fe primera calidad“

“Been hearing nothing but great things about this place and we’ve been trying to make it out that way to try it out…. Finally a day where hubby and I had the day off so we decided to have this for lunch and besides not having the best experience with our waitress the food absolutely made up for it! Hubby had a taco dinner and struggled to finish it bc of the amount of food they give you. I had the Carne a la tampiqueña and didn’t even make a dent in mine…. The amount of steak that comes with your dinner 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 we enjoyed the food and leftovers to bring home.“

“Good tacos ! The steak tacos are really good here .“

“Just amazing! Best ever! Highly recommend!“

“The BEST Chili Rellanos I've had in a long time! yummy 😋. The skinny margaritas aren't bad either. A MUST visit Restaurant. Thank you for living up to and beyond my expectations.“

“Gave it 5 because it's hard to rate a place that's very good at what it is - and isn't. Jist want quick good Mexican food in a cute little shop? This is it. The best burrito I've had since all my fav local places closed up. It's a cozy nook off elston and takeaway-based, the seating area is unique without a hint of cookie-cutter design.“

“The food and customer service are phenomenal! I cannot wait to go back.“

“I purchased a steak burrito (haven't eaten it yet), and some guacamole/chips. They made it FRESH in my face on the spot!!!! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I chatted with a regular outside the door. But back to this GUACAMOLE....Baabbbyyy they just gained a loyal customer from the SouthEast side of Chicago!!!! (Let's see what's to this burrito...to be continued)..“

“Muy buen sazón estilo Guerrero Todo está muy rico Todo hecho al instante , tortitas y comida , muy recomendable.“

“Best I have had in a long time! Fantastic“

“Seriously so amazing! Tender juicy meat, good pricing, great portions. Worth every penny!!“

“Mejor birria que yo comido“

“i was reading all the reviews about how bad the service was and how bland
the food is- i LOVED it here. came during retro on roscoe and got such great service and amazing food. steak fajitas were great. i’ll be back for are.“

“I really enjoyed the torta de asada and the tacos de tripita. What I liked most was that they weren't greasy at all. The o my reason I didn't give 5 starts was because I didnt like the salsa and the horchata and Jamaica. The agua fresca was actually coolaid.“
