This is a must try!!! Never been here before & with the service that was given it was truly a great choice. Make sure when you come here & if it's your 1st time they will bring out every chili or Sauce they have to let you test Try to see whats your desired flavor. From medium to burning hot! The food on the other level is insane. These plates are full the portion of the food you get it insane. We got the giant chicken enchiladas
& a bean & cheese burrito supreme with guacamole & sour cream! With rice & beans. They took a while to come to our table so our waiter gave us a free appetizer of our choice! Which was even more food! We chose the bean dip, which was another great choice. There was nothing small about this place, I mean every meal we ordered was a huge amount! The environment was a happy comfortable place, all the workers were so friendly & very attentitive to every one the place was constantly packed. Our waitress was jeniece & she was awesome!! Very friendly & made our visit even better!! Overall I loved it!! I'll be back for sure! & next time I'll be sure to try there famous Margaritas!!
Food was good. Service people were prompt and attentive. Portions were generous but should be based on pricing beans were good but pass on the rice. Inside is better than outside which was offputting to me but went in because it was recommended and I was satisfied.
I enjoyed Senor Manuel's Restaurant. I was with a group from my company. I got the seafood enchiladas which I thought were very good. The service was also quick and efficient. The atmosphere was relaxed as well.

To be honest, I saw the restaurant and really wanted generic Mexican food, but this was far from generic. It had great portions, and the service was just amazing.
With that being said -
I would say the upcharges are super high for minimal stuff, and the overall cost just isn't worth it for the flavor. Want a side of sour cream? 4.99. Want a drink? 4.99. Want to change the type of salsa/chili on your food? 4.99. When we were told "small upcharge," I expected 1-2 bucks but was surprised to see 4.99.
Free chips and salsa were gross - salsa had no chunks and tasted like tomato sauce. The chips were too thick and tasted like crackers for some reason.
Tamales al-a-carte 11.99 + 4.99 (smother) + 4.99 (sour cream), so 22 bucks for 2 tamales.
Enchiladas (2 per order) with rice and beans 19.95 + 4.99 because i wanted a different smother sauce. 25 bucks fot 2 enchiladas with beans and rice.
1 iced tea - 4.95.
My son got an asada burrito smothered 19.95 for the burrito and 4.99 for the smother.
1 iced tea - 4.95
Ended up being $100 after tip for 2 people. The #1 best part or the entire experience was our amazing waitress. She was the only thing that kept us there and kept the overall score where it is at.
Would have given this a five-star accept our waitress was very busy and wasn't able to remember items when needed to until she was reminded twice. She was just very busy. I had the chimichanga and my husband had the burrito. Where presentation and portions were awesome we both found that the ground beef lacked flavor. Refried beans were delicious.
10/10 for me. They (wisely) do not use cilantro. The burrito supreme is enormous. I asked for a non alcoholic cocktail and I got this amazing strawberry peach frozen drink with some whip cream on top. It was outstanding. I think some might complain that the food was bland. It is not bland, it is mild. Nothing is overly spicy. Salsa is more tomatoe flavor with a small hint of chili compared to others.
The best Mexican food in Colorado Springs. Tortillas and chips made on site. Family owned restaurant with the same recipes. I have been eating enchiladas and drinking margaritas here since the mis 70s!!! Highly recommend
A friend took me who had been going here for over 20 years. Fabulous and generous portions. You can tell all is made from scratch
Shhh ...don't tell everyone people were parked outside waiting for it to open
This place is worth far higher reviews. I was craving good Mexican and chose this place on a whim while visiting the Springs and DAMN! Some of the best I’ve had in Colorado. The homemade chips are amazing, the Rumchata cocktail was bomb, the pan-fried taco was delish and rice n beans were a cheesy casserole of goodness. This is one of those places worth driving outta the way for!
We came to dinner although it was closed, and the food smells delicious, so we decided to return the next day, because it was advertised open since 70, and local.
I don't know if we chose wrong and the food we got wasn't corresponding to our expectations.
The shrimp wasn't cooked well and the flavor was from the cheese, not from the food ingredients.
I hope you have a better experience.
Don't let the location and lack of curb appeal deter you. The food and service will make up for it. The rice and beans are not just a side dish filling up the plate, they are the tastiest I have ever had. Didn't even know they can have flavor. Had the rellenos which are made in a kind of egg souffle. Not my favorite, but very tasty. The margaritas are well made, and they don't skimp on the tequila. The staff is friendly and professional. The interior is clean, and welcoming. Plenty of parking around the side and back. Will come again.
First time here. Food was great, service was very attentive. Ray was a great waiter. Really enjoyed it!
Food is fantastic. Seriously. Great service as well.
Ray's excellent service elevates the entire experience from 4 to 5 stars. Some of the best chips I've ever had—bite-size, toasted, full of corn flavor, and complemented the salsa well. The dishes stand out as unique versions of classic items. The rellenos, for instance, were built differently but from the standard ingredients. Friendly service, and plenty of seating and parking. Fun atmosphere that's also modest. A bit pricey but compensated with big portions.
