Manuel's Mexican Cantina - Scottsdale

I've been to a few Manuel's in the valley. This one is the best so far. We dined in the bar area and found out they have a band Wednesday through Saturday nights. My boyfriend ordered the street tacos and loved them. I ordered the #1 (green chili burro/cheese enchilada/beans). Delicious. Our server was so nice and checked on us regularly. If I could give them more stars I would.

Locally Owned Mexican Restaurant Sometimes friendly service, inconsistent food (sometimes good, other times not so good)! Strong Margaritas! The Frozen Strawberry Margarita is my favorite! Just wish it would stay frozen until finished! They have a really good band that plays Wednesday-Saturday nights starting at 6:30pm in the bar area with a small dance floor where regulars enjoy dancing swing, chacha, rumba , etc. Happy Hour is M-F 3-6 and Sat 11am-4pm with $5.50 for regular margaritas and $1 more for flavored! There?s a few food options on the HH Menu?I like the chicken taquitos, except when they?re not so good. Complimentary Chips and Salsa are yummy! There?s a separate inside dining room and two outdoor patios right in front. Busy place. Plenty of parking!

Amazing food. Been to plenty of Manuel's but I loved this location out of them all. Usually have the shredded beef enchiladas but felt like having a brunch so I ordered the steak Ranchero with eggs over medium and rice and beans, definitely hit the spot. Thankyou to my waitress at the bar that accommodated breakfast for me at 2 in the afternoon and the chef, it was delicious. The reason my hubby and I will continue to come here.

Im still trying to make out what were those chile rellenos i ate, and why they had so much cheese, especially mozzarella cheese. I thought i was eating a slice of pizza when the cheese stretches out. Hmmmm it was good but the cheese, to my knowledge, because if anybody knows about chile rellenos, i do. Too much cheese. I didnt enjoy it much to be totally honest. Next time try filing those bad boys with cotija cheese, it will make a great difference. Trust me. I live the place for the simple reason, they waiters were very nice team. And the restaurant, beautifully decorated. I forgot to mention, they have live music.

I am from Mississippi and we cannot get authentic mexican like i just had. Service was great from a waitress named Mayra. Also cant get true sopapillas. They were awesome. Higly recommend this restaraunt. Pricing was app, drinks, entree, and desert averaged together with party of 3.
