Review Manila Oriental Restaurant - Waukegan

Absolutely delicious spot! Authentic Birria, full of flavor, and sweet ladies working the front. Our server helped thoroughly explain how to order/ figure out what I wanted because I initially was just going to order birria, but what I really wanted was birria tacos Jalisco style- Jalisco style is cheesy and fried/ crunchy tacos. I almost accidentally ordered it soft/ regular by saying tacos de birria, luckily she asked how I wanted them! Lol. Regular is soft corn tortilla, which btw, their corn tortillas are nice and thick, you can definitely tell they’re made in house! We ordered a side of rice (no beans), 2 carne asada- grilled steak tacos, and 2 al pastor- grilled pork tacos with sour cream, and my birria tacos estillo Jalisco with the cosume/ broth on the side! They have both goat and beef, I opted for goat, you can ask for a mix of both, but I like goat because It’s more authentic/ gives that slight gamey flavor. All in all, super delicious place I will be stopping by again when I get the craving for some authentic yums! Upon reading some of these comments, my consensus is some people just need to learn how to order. I almost made the same mistake because I’m used to my gentrified way of ordering, but the cliché birria tacos we are used to is in fact Jalisco style- because thats how they normally prepare tacos- not only birria, in Jalisco. If you order birria that’s exactly what you’re gonna get. Birria literally means meat stew so gotta be specific when ordering. When in doubt, ask. We customers, aren’t always right.

Great food, but be patient. That being said, the goat birria is some of the best that I have ever had. The 2 tacos "Jalisco style" are excellent to dip into that amazing birria broth. Food is 5 stars...but again, you have to be patient as you might have to wait for your food.

Good is great. Wish they had more space. Maybe the sandwich place next door can give up some of their dining room space since it looks like they are never crowded haha

The name says it all. Although this no frills eatery has all the popular Mexican favorites, however, the star is birria (goat stew) served in many different ways. In addition to serving as an ingredient in the usual tacos, enchiladas etc., the goat stew served as dinner is specially remarkable. It is slow cooked to a tender perfection. Tortillas are made right in the kitchen and the difference is evident. Portions are huge. Very popular with those in the know, the restaurant does a brisk takeout business as well. Don't go there for the ambiance​, for there is none. Walls have handwritten signs for what is new on the menu and the old prices are corrected with sticky labels over them. Tables and chairs may be mismatched and the hanging displays are crooked. TV blares music videos in Spanish. Go there for the food and you will not be disappointed.

Great birria! The birria ramen is one of favorite plates. the place is pretty small so seating is limited. The staff is friendly when it gets busy it’ll be a wait till you get your food. But overall great place for some birria

OMG I just ordered 3 birria taco dinner with beans and rice and let me tell you, it was perfect and I usually never finish all of my food but I demolished it . The employees were super nice and helpful. Over all this place exceeded my expectations.

Yummy food, great service! I would advise to try at least once each food they have, especially the tocos. They r all good, but depending on the persons preference some better than others. I tried the tacos "jalisco" style for the first time and they were very good, but I prefer mine regular. But overall great place.

Food is very good. Chips are fresh and not stale. I wish they have a dedicated person cleaning the washrooms, but under current post-COVID circumstances they have staffing issues.
