First thing first manjar blanco is actually the name of a dessert which is also served here, so make sure you leave a bit of space for it at the end of your meal... We came here after watching a TV documentary which featured this place. Also, this is not a taco shop, it's an actual restaurant with above average prices. Let's leave it at the fact that the food was really good. Everything tasted great and friendly made. The service was also great and the owner comes over making sure your are having a good time (she also showed us how they prepare cocinita pibil for the next day) We had the cocinita, queso relleno and the manjar blanco. Wil definitely come back to try the other dishes and definitely recommend the place.

Manjar Blanco has great food. I am hoping my visit today was just an off day. We always start with a cocktail, typically gin and tonic. In the past, if they were out of tonic, someone would run out and get some. Today, there was no tonic...and no gin! It took some work, but we settled on whiskey and lemonade...which was a bit off, but okay. My entrada of empanadas, cochanita and queso bolla, were great. My entree of Quesa Relleno Blanco was perfect, and one of the best in the city. Dessert is always Caballero Pobre, and Manjar Blanca made the very best. Today's was dry and flavorless, almost inedible being so dry. So unfortunate.

We came near the end of the day for an early dinner. The plato manjar blanco (440 pesos) is huge, and enough to feed two people. It's a great way to sample many dishes - it includes panuchos, cheese empanadas, tortillitas tropicales, longinza, and poc chuc. We also ordered the cochinita pibil, which was good but it was far too much food for 2 people. The tortillas were also fresh and delicious. I also recommend the chaya/lemon agua fresca, which was so good. The staff were super friendly, and very easy to get by even if you have limited Spanish.

An absolute sublime experience from the moment you approach the door. The place itself it’s beautiful, the patio spacious and fresh, a room with air conditioning if you prefer it. But most importantly, a very attentive and professional staff that will help you with anything you need. Food itself it’s great, I’ve been only a few times but every time everything was delicious, well prepared and fast. Once I had to leave very fast and I managed to eat and pay super fast, proof of an excellent service. Definitely a must go if you are in the area.

I don’t know, I think I’d give it somewhere between 3/4 stars. Place is hyped, has a really nice patio and dish presentation is colorful which explains the inclusion in mentioned Netflix show. Service was okay, however food was disappointing. Tacos aren’t explicit at all. Pork meat was fairly dry, not marinated. Tortillas were really good, however I can easily name couple places with more impressive tacos. It’s all about the presentation. Marinated onions and empanadas were really nice. Prices are really reasonable so no hard feelings.

We came here for an early dinner upon recommendation of a friend. Upon arrival, we were super impressed with the beautiful interior and garden area that we chose to dine in. My husband has been a little I’ll lately, so he wanted something easy on his stomach. He ordered the Sopa de Lima upon recommendation of our server. Good choice. I ordered the Queso Relleno and I don’t think I could’ve ordered anything better. Both dishes were so tasty and pleasant…… yummmmm!!!! We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.
