Mana's Restaurant — Restaurant in San Marcos

Ok so this is a very strange little spot. It's situated right inside a neighborhood and the building just looks like someone's house but it's a full restaurant inside. Just follow Google's instructions and you'll find the place. This is one of those odd, out of the way places that we have found that has some of the best food you can find.

Their enchilada sauce is FANTASTIC. All of the food was great and the service was good. I could tell it was a family run place because there were little kids running around the place, playing and going in the back. It was adorable.

Just don't expect fine dining here. This place is about the FOOD. It tasted just like what I'd expect to come out of someone's abolita's kitchen. You want to eat Mexican like someone grandma cooked it for you, you come here. Goes right to your soul.

Long time and current hyper-local favorite neighborhood texmex food. OG San Marcos. I've enjoyed it since 2000. Open since 1976 I believe. Don't miss the chicken tortilla soup and the BEST CHILE RELLENO in town. Excellent chips and salsa. Great specials. Don't let the humble appearance dissuade you, it's authentic and delicious. BYOB last I checked. The food is not slapped together, it's all prepared home-style with care. The owner can be found working inside. Cozy Mexican decor earns 5 star atmosphere. Much better than Herbert's Taco Hut or Garcia's overall. Very underrated outside of the neighborhood and also by new residents. Excellent value on lunch and dinner...
