" My friends and I visited on a Friday night, hoping for a good time, but we were faced with a rocky start. While the vibe of the place was nice, we struggled with their service. It took a long while to get anyone's attention, and our orders were mixed up. On the positive side, the mole sauce on my chicken was exquisite—authentic and rich in flavor. If they could improve their service consistency, this place could be a top contender for best Mexican restaurant in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" The authentic Mexican flavors at Taqueria el Manhattan keep bringing me back. I've sampled different items on the menu, and I've yet to be disappointed! Their margaritas also add a nice kick to meals. Service can be slow at times, especially during peak hours, but the quality of the food and the generous portions make it worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who loves Mexican food, I had very high hopes for Taqueria el Manhattan. The enchiladas were authentic but slightly lacking in spices. The service wasn’t the best; I felt a bit ignored by the servers. The overall atmosphere was lively, which I appreciated, but I think they still have room for improvement. I’d visit again to see if they can step it up. " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience at Taqueria el Manhattan fell short of my expectations. Despite the great reviews, I found the food tasteless and uninspired. The waiter was friendly but overwhelmed by the crowd. I don't think I’ll return anytime soon unless I hear that they've improved their dishes. Disappointed to say the least! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem! I stumbled upon it during my quest for a good Mexican restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The carne asada was grilled to perfection, and you can taste the authenticity in their dishes. The service staff was friendly but seemed overwhelmed. Still, the food made up for any minor hiccups. This will definitely be on my radar next time I’m in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Super excited to try Taqueria el Manhattan after hearing so much buzz! However, my experience was mixed. The food tasted well-prepared and was authentic, but the service left much to be desired. We waited over 30 minutes just for our drinks to arrive! Once the food finally came, it was worth the wait—big portions and robust flavors! With a better service, I could easily see myself coming here regularly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to this restaurant for quite a while, and it's always been a hit for me. The most authentic tamales I’ve found around! The service can be hit or miss, sometimes friendly and other times a bit cold. On my last visit, the chips were fresh, and the salsa had a great kick! Just wish they’d be more consistent.
