Manuel’s Mexican Restaurant & Cantina | Cave Creek

"I recently visited Manuel's Mexican restaurant and had a decent dining experience. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made up for some of the shortcomings of the restaurant. While the food was okay, the atmosphere could use some improvement. The restaurant appears to be a bit outdated, and the restrooms could benefit from a thorough cleaning and renovation. Specifically, I was disappointed to see graffiti in the restrooms, which took away from the overall experience. With a bit of updating and attention to detail, Manuel's could be a great spot for Mexican food. As it stands, it's an okay option, but not without room for improvement."

I have been going to the Manuel's since I was a kid in the 90's. Going on over 30 years of memories (as I am now turning 40) here! Always, they best (next to Vale Luna of course, which both places rank on my top mex food!!) Sonoran Mex style food!! I havent been in a few years as living way out north west now, but anytime I'm back in my old neighborhood, I always make a point to visit Manuel's!!!

It's been years since I've been to Manuel's . I don't know what happened, or maybe it was just this particular one,but it was depressing. Despite there being almost nobody there the food was overcooked, even the cheese crisp was burnt, my tacos were dry and the margaritas were mixed wrong or something was just not right with them. The server was nice and the hot sauce and salsa were just as good as I remember.
