This was my first time coming to Manchego with my husband. We have been saying for months that we need to try this restaurant since it’s just a couple of blocks from our home. It was absolutely amazing !!! The churrasco steak was tender, flavorful and delicious!! Service was on point, very friendly and attentive. The drinks were great as well. I will definitely be back!!
