Manuel's Mexican Cantina Glendale

It is rare thing for me to rate ANY service or restaurant with 5 stars but tonight I will. My neighbor gifted me with a delivered dinner from Manuels'....

You have to try the Pollo Especial. This is my favorite. Their shrimp enchilada meal is also good. Their chips and salsa are delicious, I don't care for...

The hotter salsa is my favorite! And the thres amigos entree is so freaking good! I always get great service coming here. Sadly there's never enough parking...

This is a great place to relax for lunch or dinner. Lots of parking and well lit. Great menu, easy to read and meduim priced. Big portions and great chips and salsa at your table once you sit. Service is fantastic. Great bar and lots of bar stools. Great for kids and just a great experience. Highly recommended! Web or order or delivery. Great Breakfast on the weekends.

If there is one negative thing I can say about this place it is that my meal was so big that I had no room for the Flan dessert I was looking forward to trying ? First of shout out to our waitress Elena. From the moment we sat down she was charming, tentative and funny. Her customers service skills are on point! We got two choices of salsa, hot and regular. As it turned out the hot salsa was perfect for my husband while the regular was perfect for me. I will be honest and say that Don Cucos and Lacasina (for those that are from LA/Ventura county) have better salsa but this is getting there. I wanted something small and light since I was not that hungry so I got the Tortilla soup thinking it would just be cup sized. Oh boy was I wrong! You get a huge plate and so much meat! Definitely worth the money. Spicy enough so that you feel it, but not overpowering. There was no way I could finish it, and believe me I tried. The atmosphere was good, not to loud and still enough privacy that you couldn't hear everyone's conversations. I would not hesitate to return.
