If you too miss Manuel’s iconic assorted hard candies, vote for us and maybe Manuel’s brings them back for their 40th anniversary! It was right around 2000 when I walked into Manuel’s so awestruck by the hot pink walls that I painted my own home to match. We’ve celebrated many milestones, date nights, holidays and cured our blues in a booth at Manuel’s. We raised our son on lomo de res while my husband and I fell so hard for the flautas we never tried anything else. It’s not just the amazing food, but the wonderful people and the vibe that make Manuel’s the best restaurant in Austin, Texas. Cheers to the next 40!
