Shawn • May 31, 2014Very Mexico vibe to this place. It's very authentic food as well.

Fernando C. • May 8, 2015Good for a light lunch. Watch out as their "large" sandwiches are huge. Their croissants aren't really authentic French croissants, but the place is charming, food's fresh, and the pastries are good.

Timothy R. • April 2, 2014One of the most authentic izakaya experiences outside of Japan I've ever had. I'm somewhat of a regular, even though it's a long way from my place. Friendly staff, good food, and real Japanese beer.

Rodrigo H. • October 16, 2014Awsome mexican restaurant. The place is very nice with some awsome murals. Authentic mexican food of great quality. Drinks are awsome too.

Abbie H. • October 5, 2015Their friggn gyros man...I have dreams about them. I didn't think the place would be authentic with a name like Manny's Cafe but boy was I wrong! The tzatziki is to die for...I can't wait to go back.
