Manuel's Mexican Restaurant & Taqueria

Sorry I haven't written a review before now seeing how my family and i have been eating here for the last few years. I was first introduced to this place a few years back by one of my hunting buddies so when we are going to hunt camp we always try to get by here for lunch or dinner, just great food & today was one of those days, so after work here we come.My daughter got a great looking dish called Bandera Mexicana Enchiladaswhich relates to a red white & a green enchilada Dinner, it looked very tasty, and she said it was great, my 2 grandsons and myself got our favorite, meal, cheese enchiladas with beans and rice, and with a queso appetizer and drinks what more could you want.So, if you happen to be here in Brenham please stop by and have some great food and say hello to Manuel & Armando, they are both great hosts.Thanks Rick A

Manuel's is a STAPLE in BTX. Don't even bother going anywhere else. Manuel is in there all the time as has has been since I was 7 years old and ate here for the first time. The margaritas are GREAT and they come in numerous different sizes. I believe one is even a 64 oz!!! The food is too good to be true. It's your true Tex Mex which is what every Texan LOVES. Manuel actually took care of us and he's the sweetest. He works very very hard and is always making sure everyone has a great time and enjoys their meal. The place is well kept, and is always busy. You can usually always find a table tho! Definitely give this place a chance. Queso was great!!! The beef fajita meat is some of the best seasoned beef fajita meat I've ever eaten and my enchiladas were soooo good! Love this place!

Stopped in after a family friend's suggestion, this has been his go to Mexican restaurant since it opened. It is a small Mexican restaurant in the middle of a nice neighborhood with awesome food. The chips are perfectly crispy, they are served with salsa verde and salsa. Both sauces are mild with a light flavor. The salsa verde with a dash of salt is my favorite, usually about 4 bowls of it. So far I have only tried 2 entrees because I always go back to the first dish I ever ate here.Appetizers - Chili Con Queso - 7.5/10Entrees - The Chef Special - 9/10Two enchiladas with your choice of chicken or beef fajita wrapped in delicate corn tortillas that are smothered in queso.Served with rice and beans. This is my go to dish every time. I absolutely love it. The tender beef with the queso is heaven. Tamale Plate - 8/10Three tamales smothered in chili sauce.Served with rice and beans.This was an excellent dish, the tamales had a good flavor unlike so many other restaurants. If I had a complaint, it would be no free refills (canned drinks) but I make do. LolDefinitely a must try if you are in the area or passing thru.

We recently bought a house in Brenham and we spend time in Brenham and Houston. We have discovered this little place and it has become one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. Margaritas are exceptionally good and strong. The food comes out hot and the owner, Manuel is always present to make sure everyone is being taken care of. I recommend the shish kebab with shrimp or just basic gold Tex-Mex. Food comes out piping hot definitely a keeper for us.

If you're looking for delicious Mexican food, look no further. This restaurant has extremely flavorful food and great margaritas. The only negative about this place is the service can be very slow so when you sit down, tell them you can't stay too long so they speed up the process.

Great little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that does a decently acceptable chicken mole on Thursday. Definitely worth checking out.

the building has def seen better days, it is old and shows its age but is kept tidy and clean. Back in the day, it was Brenhams original Dairy Queen with Pizza Hut right down the street. Good people, nice and friendly wait staff, and good food. Not fancy but def worth being the home town Tex Mex place. We eat here every week with friends and we enjoy it very much. Always have different things off the menu and if we want it different, they are always happy to comply. Try it and you will not be disappointed.

My wife and I happened by this place one afternoon after Christmas because so many of the other restaurants in town were closed for the holiday season. Although the service was rather slow, we eventually had our order taken, and the manager was actually rather funny and told us Several jokes; my cheese enchilada meal was absolutely fantastic. The cheese was so rich and the beans and rice were so hot. It was hard for me to actually finish my meal; my wife had to take some of her fajita beef chimichanga home with her. A very rewarding experience. Much better than my first time there with my prior review.

Great food. Armando is a great guy !Beats all the other Mexican food joints in town. The service is always excellent. We eat here once a week and it's always good.

Best Mexican food in Brenham. Small eatery that is home town with big flavors. I order the bowl he created just for me, every time. Or the Brenham Special. Man, everything at this taqueria is perfect.
