The ladies were very friendly and helpful. We ordered Chile rellano which was delicious! We also ordered chicken enchiladas. The food was delicious. The service was even better.

I love the decorative walls inside. The food is delicious and the service was on point. Can't wait to go back and try more items off the menu.

What an absolute gem. I know good Mexican and this place is a little secret hole in the wall with fantastic homemade tortillas, great rice and beans, and really good hard shelled tacos.

This place is fantastic. It's a casual, mom and pop restaurant that serves delicious food. I was hanging out with my cousin when we both started getting hungry. We were on Ventura Blvd already and I looked this place up on Yelp. It had great reviews and was walking distance from where we were. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the server. We sat, we ordered and received delicious salsa and chips to nosh on. The salsa was spicy, which is how I like everything, but if that's not for you make sure the server knows. I ordered Camarones a la Diabla and my cousin got the Al Pastor taco plate. We both loved our choices. The diabla sauce had an excellent smokey chipotle flavor that I just couldn't get enough of. My cousin loved her meal as well. We cleaned our plates and left happy and full. If you're ever in Tarzana and have a craving for fantastic Mexican food, I highly recommend this place. The portions are generous, the food is good and the prices are reasonable. It's definitely worth checking out!

Stopped in casually after getting coffee next door at my fav coffee shop Laidrey. I was hungry and never noticed the spot but I felt the sudden need for tacos. You wouldn't guess from outside but the inside feels like a cool little cantina. It's decorated really nicely inside. The food is great. The tacos are delicious. Definitely opt for the fresh hand made tortillas!

Food is amazing, big portions, and very tasty! The new manager Kenny is so welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this place!

We came here once before and we were unable to get what we wanted. we came back hopeful and we are so glad we have it a second chance! both meals were delicious! the chilaquiles were spicier than i thought but still very delicious! the pambazo was not as crispy to pick up but also very good.

So glad I discovered Manuelitos! I was craving a breakfast burrito and trusty Yelp led me here. I drive past this place constantly and I've never noticed it was there. I got a machaca breakfast burrito to go. Service was quick and friendly. Overall a great experience. The burrito was pretty huge. The machaca inside was so tender and had great flavor. I also really enjoyed their salsas. It's always a good sign when a Mexican restaurant has yummy salsas. The dining area is so inviting and well decorated! I would definitely come back to dine in. They have a TV in the dining area, but there's also lots of really cool Mexican art on the walls. I would definitely call this place a hidden gem! Metered parking only. Don't miss Manuelito's if you are in the Tarzana area!
