" I’m so glad I stumbled upon this restaurant! The variety of dishes is impressive, and everything I've tasted so far has been delightful. The tortilla soup was exceptionally good. Although it was pretty packed when I went, the staff still managed to keep the service friendly. It’s a great place to enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine. Definitely coming back for more!

" Not going to lie, my experience at EL Manantial was mixed. The tacos tasted pretty good and had that genuine Mexican flair I'm always searching for. However, I encountered a rather grumpy waitress who seemed overwhelmed. Atmosphere was chill, definitely a local spot, but I think they could work on the service aspect a bit. Overall, worth a visit for the food but don’t expect a five-star experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" EL Manantial is a hidden gem! Tucked away behind a little store, it feels cozy and authentic. Their tacos al pastor are to die for! Just as good as any street taco I've had. The only downside was I waited a little longer than expected for my food, but once it arrived, I forgot all about it. Can't wait to go back and try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" EL Manantial is a family-owned gem. I love coming here for the friendly atmosphere and the staff who remember your name. The tacos de lengua are a must-try! Every time I'm in town, I make it a point to stop at this little food oasis. It’s nice because after eating, you can grab some groceries or a sweet treat from the store. This place fills a nostalgic hunger for authentic Mexican flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to many Mexican restaurants, but EL Manantial stands out with its authentic flavors! The chiles en nogada were the best I've had outside of Mexico. The staff was welcoming and made great recommendations. I went on a Friday evening, and while it was busy, the service stayed friendly and efficient. If you're a fan of real Mexican cuisine, you have to check this place out. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" EL Manantial Tienda y Taquería is an interesting place. The food is usually great, and I love that you can shop for authentic Mexican products while waiting. The tacos are fantastic, and the homemade salsa is delicious! It’s a little tucked away, but once you find it, you won't want to leave. The only downside? Sometimes they run out of popular items, which can be a bummer. Overall, it's become one of my go-to lunch spots. " (*Curated Review*)

" EL Manantial always delivers on taste! Each time I come, the food is superb, whether it's their tacos, sopes, or tamales. It's authentic Mexican food made with love. I do think the service can sometimes be a little slow, but that won't stop me from coming back. Plus, their prices are very reasonable for the quality. A must-try for anyone who loves genuine flavors! " (*Curated Review*)
