Let me start with how everything at Manuel’s was so underwhelming. We went there for lunch and ordered chicken fajitas and chicken enchiladas. The food tasted average, very dry and took way too long to be served. The ambience is very boring. The cost per person for averaged to 35 which I would prefer to pay for better food and ambience. The only good thing was that the server was nice. Compared to all the choices around in the arboretum area Manuel’s has a long way to go.

Update: excellent service from Lawson in our return visit. The enchiladas and spicy salsa as recommended by Lawson was tasty!
Food was bland for my taste. Server took our order and never came back until it was time to pay the bill. Patio is very nice.

We’ve been enjoying Manuel’s for for 25 years…. And it is consistently great. Whether in warm months on the patio or on chilly winter nights inside, the atmosphere is inviting and the food and service always good. Tonight Josue was professional and attentive and made our experience just what we needed.

Thoughtful and well prepared drinks and food. I loved the Mexican martini, mole enchiladas, and postre de coco. Went two times about 12 years apart and enjoyed it equally both times. Wait staff is exceptionally friendly and caring.

Jessica was amazing, great service & food recommendations. Food was delicious
We moved away from Austin a couple years ago but always make a point to come to Manuel’s when we’re in town. The food and drinks are always so well-crafted, fresh, and delicious. Our server today - Antonio - was such a delight, so attentive and professional. We’ll be coming here for as long as they’ll have us!

When you want tasty Mexican food - go to Manuel’s! Their recipes are unique, flavorful, and the quality is top notch. I especially love the chilled seafood cocktail appetizers like ceviche and campechana. The apps are all generous and portioned for two. The cactus salad and Lomo de Puerco pork tenderloin with Avocado sesame seed salsa are standouts, and so are the mushroom quesadillas. It really depends on your mood as there are so many delicious choices.

This is quickly become one of my favorite places to dine in Austin. It is a first rate restaurant serving a wide variety of Mexican dishes expertly prepared with consistently fresh and high quality ingredients. The shrimp fajitas are superb. The service has been excellent. Wait staff is very attentive and welcoming.
