Manuelito's Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

First time ordering, full of unpleasant surprises. If you're expecting to order veggie nachos online, make sure to make note of that in the order. Even if you do not select any meat options, they STILL put meat in it. I also have no clue if their 'Cheese Only' option means 'veggie' or 'only plain cheese and chips'. Very confusing, they need to have a veggie option to make things clear. The nachos also do not look anything like the photo. There is barely any cheese, no guacamole as pictured. In fact, most of the nachos was just the ground beef I did not want or order. Removing the beef, all that was left was the chips and a few flecks of cheese. Disappointing to say the least. The veggie burrito was also not good. Barely any cheese, beans, or guacamole. A lot of rice. Also, they do not mention this but they put MUSHROOMS in their burrito. Not mentioned in the description online at all and no option to remove it. At least clarify this, especially for people who do not like mushrooms, like me. It is such a random ingredient in a burrito that it really needs to be mentioned. Even though this is the closest Mexican food spot to where I live, I'm not ordering from them again. Wan't expecting such...

My husband and I stumbled upon this hole in the wall and we were not disappointed. We bought two taco plates de lengua asada and carnitas made with tortillas made by hand ✨ I also bought a sope (which was HUGE) and an horchata.

Pros: Tortillas made by hand were authentic and delicious 🤤, lengua was juicy (felt like it was steamed) and could be even better with a tad bit of salt.

Asada was okay good seasoning but lacked juicy ness.

Carnitas was light and flavorful while still maintaining some crunch.

Highly loved the horchata, it’s light and not too sugary.

The sope was really big (see pictures) I was expecting a small sope but this could of been it’s own meal.

Cons: Service is a bit slow, I was there alone and still took some time but not too bad. Seasoning on some items require a little bit flavor.

Overall my husband and I will be coming back to try more things...

I ordered the taquitos combination plate, 3 taquitos, rice and beans. Well, guess what??? Taquitos DO NOT come with guacamole! It comes with lettuce and crema on top. Really??? Really?? Who serves taquitos without guacamole???? That's the whole idea of taquitos. Their picture shows guacamole, so I questioned it and they said they don't serve guacamole. I said why did your picture have guacamole? They said it's just a picture. Rrally????? What kind of Mexican restaurant doesn't serve guacamole with taquitos? No other kind, that's what kind! So never again will I order taquitos here. SO...
