Mañana's Mexican Food — Restaurant in California

The food was great and the service I received was great during these trying times. In my opinion, since COVID and even before then, customer service left something to be desired in my book. The girl that helped me went above and beyond where other businesses didn't. My phone went dead. I had just enough money for lunch, none of the businesses like Jack in the box inparticular, would let me charge my phone to find the location of my friend who totalled his truck. Luckily I found him and we had lunch there.... It was just such a pleasure to have such a genuine kind person help and let me charge my phone. I was 200 miles from home.

It was very clear she didn’t want us to order anything, which I would be more understanding of if it was right before closing…but it was an hour before closing. We’ve been going to Mananas for years and years and have never seen this woman working there before, and have never experienced such...

This restaurant was recommended to me by the Ayers Hotel staff with food being "outstanding", and they were right! Excellent taste, portions, and presentation. Real mexican food - no "taco bell" here. However, LOL, the service was more like "real Mexican" too. That is, it runs on "Manana Time". Friendly, but at a leisurely pace. And the apparently they can only give you one bottle of beer at a time. So if you order it, order/pay for one, when drained, order/pay for another. The restaurant has a very large dining area, but is obviously catered to 'take-out' from the layout, lack of metal cutlery, and packets only of salt, pepper, etc. I have to add though, each of the 4 available salsa were sensational. I would eat here again, and definitely...
