Manny's Mexican Restaurant

My boyfriend and I went here a few times for dinner. Once we went with a large group from his work and once on a date together. Let's start off with drinks. I will say that I'm not a big margarita person because I don't like the sweetness and I'm not the biggest tequila fan. However, the Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita was fantastic. It was very refreshing and not too spicy. I was very impressed, I had two. My boyfriend had the Mango Margarita and the Strawberry Margarita and both were very good. We preferred the strawberry over the mango. Now let's talk meals. From the two different times we have been, we have tried a few different menu items. My boyfriend got the Frido Burrito and seemed to enjoy it a lot. He said he would give it 5 stars. He has also gotten the Enchilada Burrito. He enjoyed it but did not like it as much as the Frido Burrito. I got the Fajitas and actually asked if I could get a combination of steak, shrimp and chicken. They always do it for me and they give you A LOT of meat. I usually have this for two meals. The chicken is phenomenal. The steak is always a little over cooked in my opinion which is not surprising on fajitas. I love fajitas and I was not disappointed with these. I will say they are quite expensive though. Overall, experience was great. They are very fast and attentive at Mannys which is greatly appreciated. We will be going back.

It's a no for me. Two stars because everyone was nice but yuck. I do not recommend. Salsa tastes like ketchup, burrito was dry AF. I asked for carne asada for my burrito and was told they use ground beef. Who does that? I'm probably spoiled being from CA where we get authentic Mexican food. This was one of the worst I've had. Their chips were pretty good but guacamole was just ok. Service was good. But will not repeat. All Mexican restaurants need carne asada.

Update time - Manny's still gets you seated, gets you fed and gets you back your way - quickly.All the usual tasty menu options are available.They're cooked and served in filling portions.Service is quick and concise.

Yummy food and delicious margaritas. I cannot tell you how many times I have driven past the cute sign but tonight I finally decided to walk in. I grabbed a drink at the bar while I waited for the rest of my friends to meet up. They will not sit you without your full party, as is expected around the area. The bartender was nice. The Manny's marg was strong and delicious. Once we were sat we snacked on the salsa and chips. The house salsa was well seasoned but very mild. I was disappointed until I realized there were two different types! The spicy was peppery and perfect. The menu I had smelled of mildew but it was clean. I got the birria quesadilla. I have never had anything tastier in my life. It was cheesy and the meat was so tender and perfectly seasoned. Loved it! The food and drinks were delicious but a bit pricey.

We haven't been here in years largely because we lived out of state but just hadn't made it down here but once. Parking is always hard and a deterrent for us. Tonight we got lucky and even on a First Friday here in the Crossroads and a beautiful night. Got a front row spot right across the street in the lil dedicated lot. I had Chicken Enchiladas which were best in class, a rich mole' flavored enchilada sauce with fresh moist chicken. Loved them! Husband had a taco, pork burrito with pinto beans. Very much enjoyed his meal as well. Waitress was very friendly and helpful, we were cold with the fan above us on and she had it turned off for us. Which was nice. We will go back because my meal will be cravable (is that a word?). Pretty quick turnaround too so we were able to get to the Royals game in time which was a bonus.

Went to Mannys the other day with some friends and it was good per usual!It's always busy so I'm surprised our wait time wasn't that long. I don't suggest going between 7-9pm because it's BUSY. Especially on the weekends but we came on a weekday so it wasn't terrible and every one was chill. They always give chips and salsa to start and I have to catch myself that I don't get full off that because the salsa is good! I think they make it in house and you can tell!I got the burrito frito which is a fried burrito with melted cheese on top. I was skeptical but my friend told me it was good and he was right! The cheese made the tortilla softer after being fried and it was well worth the stomach ache from eating dairy lolI also got a strawberry margarita which will sneak up on you if you're not careful lol

I've been coming here since I was kid. I remember when Manny would walk around the restaurant to say hi to everyone. This is one of my go to restaurants for a quick, affordable and good meal in downtown KC. Highly recommend their margaritas and of course the Manny's burrito.

Spent Saturday evening here and we always love the place, the bartenders usually know us from coming in over the yrs. The food was delicious and full of flavor. They're quick and efficient and the food never disappoints. KC staple for sure. If you're in town and want good homemade Mexican food, stop by

I came to Manny's on a Tuesday night before 6. They seemed a little short staffed - the restaurant didn't seem very full, but I was told there weren't any tables and that there was only bar seating. I was quickly served some chips and dip. I ordered a taco "sin carne" with veggies, but decided to add chicken. The taco they brought out was tasty, but huge, and impossible to pick up. I had to deconstruct it with my fork, which was a bit of an awkward way to eat it, but the grilled veggies were flavorful. The restaurant itself was kind of dark, and I didn't get a good view of the main dining room since I was seated at the bar. Overall a decent spot to grab a quick bite, but nothing special about the experience.

The (non-spicy) table salsa is essentially Heinz ketchup. The Monterey queso as an appetizer ranks the worst amongst Mexican restaurants in Kansas City. The service was good. The waitress was kind and patient. The ambiance is not bad, not good.
