Reliable neighborhood Mexican spot for hearty chilaquiles, tacos, and set-menu value, but expect inconsistencies and a cash-first policy that frustrates some diners.
El MANJAR delivers reliable neighborhood Mexican comfort with fast, friendly service and excellent value through generous portions and affordable set menus. Standout dishes like sizzling molcajete chilaquiles and fresh guacamole shine, but inconsistent execution—ranging from excellent to bland or oily— and occasional service friction prevent grade A territory. A solid choice for casual breakfast or lunch in Roma Norte, though not a citywide destination.
One caveat: Payment friction: multiple reviews mention cash-only moments or card surcharges; confirm before ordering
