I am not a writer, but I couldn’t let this occasion pass by without congratulating Manuel’s on an amazing 40 years. Sadly, I have only been a fan for 37 years. On my first day working at 301 Congress, the woman in the office next to mine invited me to lunch at a restaurant across

My wife and I had some of our first dates at Manuel’s. When our children were little, we came for brunch every Sunday and listened to music. Now that the kids are older, we come for dinner and brunch on the weekend and try to sit on the patio. We like take visitors as well.

Manuel’s sponsored our community wholeness marathon training organization, TEAM FX, for 8 years, benefiting local children removed from life-threatening abuse, neglect and trafficking.

I believe it was 1985, Just returned home to Austin from working in New Zealand, I’d just finished building a new neon shop and I was hungry (literally) for work. Greg and his then partner, Randy, were building out the second dining room in the coolest 80′ contemporary style and they hired me to “neon
