My name is Cristina Foarde, I’m from Chile and moved to Austin in 1999 when I marry the love of my life (Daniel Foarde). Manuel’s was the very first Mexican restaurant that I ever eat, I remember the first time how spicy I thought it was but I learned to love very quickly. My daughter Daniela was born in 2004 and we started bringing her as a baby, today she s in College and every time she visit Austin, it is the very first place she wants to go for dinner. We celebrated her graduation from High School at Manuel’s where family and friends joined us. Manuel’s has been our place to go for 25 years and we hope to be able to go for many more. Thank you so much for all the memories and fantastic food and people that make Manuel’s so special and our favorite restaurant.
