Manuel's Mexican Cantina Glendale

This is a great place to relax for lunch or dinner. Lots of parking and well lit. Great menu, easy to read and meduim priced. Big portions and great chips and salsa at your table once you sit. Service is fantastic. Great bar and lots of bar stools. Great for kids and just a great experience. Highly recommended! Web or order or delivery. Great Breakfast on the weekends.

If there is one negative thing I can say about this place it is that my meal was so big that I had no room for the Flan dessert I was looking forward to trying ? First of shout out to our waitress Elena. From the moment we sat down she was charming, tentative and funny. Her customers service skills are on point! We got two choices of salsa, hot and regular. As it turned out the hot salsa was perfect for my husband while the regular was perfect for me. I will be honest and say that Don Cucos and Lacasina (for those that are from LA/Ventura county) have better salsa but this is getting there. I wanted something small and light since I was not that hungry so I got the Tortilla soup thinking it would just be cup sized. Oh boy was I wrong! You get a huge plate and so much meat! Definitely worth the money. Spicy enough so that you feel it, but not overpowering. There was no way I could finish it, and believe me I tried. The atmosphere was good, not to loud and still enough privacy that you couldn't hear everyone's conversations. I would not hesitate to return.

Manuel's is one of the best places for authentic Mexican food! They have an extensive menu loaded with tasty appetizers, main meals and desserts. Also a good beverage list. I love the enchilada dinner! Fast and friendly service, huge portions and always very satisfying. When you get up from the table you feel like your mom made the dinner! Excellent service!

We needed to find a spot for dinner near GCC and boy did we ever. This is the spot you are looking for. We didn't think much of it for going on a Thursday night. The parking lot was packed. We knew we found a great restaurant. The wait was as long as you would have thought for a full parking lot. The service was friendly. The food came out quickly and was delicious and the portions filled us up. Definitely try them out, great all around Mexican restaurant!

Food was really good, the Server could use a bit more customer service. She was not the best at keeping up with us. I am usually the type that likes to be left alone every so often, but I literally only saw her once and when she gave me my bill. Para eso si es buena ? Food was DELICIOUS! I had the quesadilla with Chicken ? fried ice cream rrrrrriiiiiiiccccccooooo. Chips and Guacamole, delicious.
