Mexican Manhattan Restaurant Review

Mexican Manhattan

Flavorful food; good service; dated, but cozy atmosphere

This week, FoodieGems decided to go to Mexican Manhattan in beautiful downtown San Antonio.  It is a casual restaurant on Dolorosa St. that also has access from the beautiful San Antonio River Walk. For an inexpensive and good Mexican meal, Mexican Manhattan is a great choice. 

While it may not have all the flare of other Mexican restaurants on the River Walk, the cuisine is tasty and authentic -nice if you don't want to pay touristy River Walk prices.  It's goal is to give you great food without distracting you with all the other"bells and whistles" that tourist traps tend to do.

The salsa definitely bites back and goes great with their homemade tortilla chips. In addition, they have a full-service bar for those of you on strict orders from your doctor to be on a "liquid diet".  Ok, I'm writing this review the week of Spring Break; what do you expect?

The enchiladas had great texture and flavor and were fairly-portioned.

On the not-so-great side, the rice was a bit dry, and the homemade chips we received may have been sitting out for a little while. If this is the case, don't hesitate to ask for a fresh batch.

Patio dining is also available with plenty of seating. Family owned for more than 50 years, Mexican Manhattan has been a San Antonio staple.  Downtown locations can be a challenge since they typically are hard to get to; but this one is well worth the trip.  They offer FREE parking at the garage right across the street to its guests.  

Foodies, give Mexican Manhattan a taste.  You won't be disappointed.
