My favorite are the beef flautas topped with guacamole and onions and lettuce. The green sauce is absolutely yum!

An absolute one of a kind in the business of creating deliciously authentic (sometimes experimental) Mexican fare, alongside a perfectly simplistic American cheeseburger so wildly-understated and popular, that they're ordered quite often during all services . Serving the Manhattan/Ogden/Ft. Riley area for the better part of three generations, Hillside has always been a reliable and satisfying dining experience, resulting in an impressive accumulation of regulars over the years. It's lengthy existence as one of Manhattan's oldest local restaurants is most definitely a tribute to the tireless, iron-willed work ethic present in each and every member (all owners) of the Silva family. The impressive amount of work they put into their business every single shift really shows. So what is it about that food so many have declared so delicious? For my dime, I find Chef Joe's take on every component of his daily Taco/Plate specials so dadgum thoughtful and delicious, that I find myself ignoring the voice in my belly that's always trying to tell me I've had quite enough of my corn tortilla allotment for the day. I generally ignore it though. One fine lunch, years ago, (Chef Joe) prepared us these delectably looking soft corn tacos, filled with a mixture of perfectly shredded, fantastically seasoned beef-tongue, cilantro, and various other culinary secrets I've been thinking about ever since. And finally, the dining area offers a simple, yet gorgeously colorful hipness to an interior with a table layout designed for both staff efficiency and diner comfort. Eating there, I always feel noticably safe and very welcome; their friendly and knowledgeable staff constantly elevating the experience with a professionalism that makes dining at Hillside that much more special.

A hidden gem! One of the best burgers in town - the flavor is amazing. I like to order that along with a white flour taco, which is also incredible. We also enjoy the homemade chips, guacamole, and salsa. They have excellent prices and outstanding service. One of our Manhattan favorites!

Gordon Ramsey needs to do a show about this place... The food was horrible... Salsa was brownish and tasted like pureed old veggies. The queso dip for the tortilla chip was a basic can cheese dip from a #10 can often used for movie theater or skating rink nachos. No spice or season. Where as other places have fresh cheese melted with salsa or rotel mixed in it. Everything had the consistency of over blended baby food. We spent about $32. And left well over
half the food on the table... The worst $32 we wasted. The consumer warning sign on the door about raw and under cooked food should of been the first warning sign to us.
