Manuel's Mexican Restaurant & Cantina | Goodyear - Goodyear, Arizona

Manuel's has been our go-to place to get quality Mexican food for years. However, the prices keep rising so much, it's not really worth it anymore. With that being said, I expect them to have quality employees since they seem to pay them really well based on the prices they charge. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. I ordered via phone this evening (2/15/25). The young woman who answered the phone, and took my order had trouble understanding a basic order. That's okay, but the fact that I said "thank you" before ending the call, and she just hung up on me really didn't sit well with me. Do better, Manuel's! You're better than this.

We had an early dinner here. My husband saw a location in Cave Creek while on one of his routes for work. I looked it up and found there’s one close to us in Goodyear. The service was great, drinks were great, atmosphere was great. Food was amazing!!! We got there about 1-ish and were surprised to learn that happy hour was going on. So we enjoyed our margaritas even more. Food was great, I recommend this place for sure!

My wife and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings at first, we sat down and waited 20 minutes and still no one even asked if we wanted water. Thank you BWW!!! We went next door to Manuel’s for the first time and it will not be our last! The people treated us like family and made sure we were waited on quickly. The food came out quick and hot. Their chips are thin and so you had to eat the loaded nachos with the help of a fork but you can tell the ingredients are very fresh. The guacamole was great and the chicken was delicious by its self. I am looking forward to go back and try some more of the menu.

Three of us came to eat and spent over $100 ( no alcohol). I used to come here all the time for the chicken enchiladas, definitely not like they used to be. There was more cheese in my enchiladas than chicken. Felt it was overpriced for what we ordered for sure. Nothing to rewrite home about.

Best Mangonada Margarita I've ever had. Visiting from out of town and my gf brought me here for lunch. Food was great too. But definitely try the margaritas!

Stopped here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere was delightful, the food was very good, and the restaurant staff was friendly! The menu items were priced competitively, I found it was a good value for the money!

I have a terrible habit of listening in on a conversation when the topic interests me. I was in for a quick lunch with a friend and I was waiting in the lobby for them. (I didn’t want to be seated yet, but I was asked)

A customer came in and the manager, Rubin, was talking to them about catering. He explained the different packages, what would be best for the amount of people they were feeding and gave his opinions and his favorites. They also discussed if they wanted to pick up or delivery and even set up!

This was kind of perfect timing since I am going to be planning for my husband’s birthday party and have no desire to cook. Lol

After my friend got there we were seated and had a great lunch, I had the lunch special with the taco and enchilada and it was the perfect amount of food. Once I get a headcount for my husbands birthday party I will sure to call in for a quote.

Great staff, really good food, quick and very open space. We where here on 4/7 and had maybe the most amazing food and salsa! We have eaten here many times before and come back because it always good but 4/7 it was like every cook was on point! Out whole table(9 of us) agreed even the salsa was better then normal food and hey are my favorite salsa and to top it off Wendy our server was on top of drinks and food orders. Again normally a great experience but this day will be hard to top!!!

Go here!!!!
