Friendly, kind, and super knowledgeable staff. Just stopped in for drinks but this would be a great place to be a regular.

They were really welcoming when we came in towards the end of the night and were the only customers there.

We tried to like it, but the chicken entree was very dry. The rice had good flavor though.

I’ve only had one thing here, the daiquiri. It’s the best daiquiri I’ve ever had in my entire life and I’m going to judge all future daiquiris by this one. Classic Cuban version that is not sweet.

We love local restaurants and Manolito did not disappoint!! The hummus was yummy and my Cuban Sandwich was perfectly messy! My husband ate his giant burger in about 3 bites. Definitely recommend!

Go and get a guava daiquiri along with olives, croqueta, and tajin crackers. Then a margarita then anything with chartreuse. You’re ready for the night.

We came in the day after the record-breaking snowfall in New Orleans, when almost all of the French Quarter was shut down. The food and drinks were amazing. The service was excellent, particularly for a packed restaurant on a skeleton crew! These folks are serious and passionate about their operation and it shows in every detail, even under what must have been challenging circumstances. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly.

Great cocktails

One of my favorite spots in Nola for sure. Best Cuban food in town and absolutely the best frozen drinks. They recently did a huge renovation/expansion and it's awesome. Way more room now and a nice courtyard in back as well. Menu is small but so good...get the chickpea starter and the fried cheese dumpling(Arepa)...the Cuban sandwich is delicious of course as well but make sure you get the black beans too. The drinks are incredible and the double-strong daiquiris are the best options overall in my opinion. Super strong, good value, everything homemade, and bartenders who obviously know what they're doing. Also now they have a half-off happy hour (3-6?) on certain food items and I think the regular strength daiquiris which is absolutely one of the best deals in town. Probably my favorite place to go for happy hour or to grab a high-quality go-to drink when heading out to the Quarter or elsewhere. Go early and eat a big meal, you won't regret it!
