What others have to say about Manuel's
"Manuel's is not your basic Tex-Mex emporium so common to Austin. It's a blending of various styles and regions from interior Mexico to coastal and northern as well, resulting in a palate-pleasing barrage of really innovative and genuinely tasty food."
- Rob Balon from Dining out with Rob Balon

 “You can give your guests a feel for the vibrant night life in downtown Austin by taking them to dinner at Manuel’s, which features interior Mexican cuisine. Or, if the night is beautiful and you want to dine al fresco on a great patio, head to Manuel’s at the Arboretum.”
 - Dale Rice, Austin American Statesman
