Awesome outdoor dining with heaters. Was here Halloween night with a friend and we had a great time. Shared a pitcher of margarita made with vodka (my buddy's not so much into tequila) and our server was fun and accommodating. We told him to just bring us two of the best menu items and he delivered!

We have this idea that when good restaurants branch out, their quality in food/service deteriorates

Great place for drinks, people watching and meeting new people!! Staff are very friendly and attentive. Place is reasonably priced and in a great location. Came here by myself and met a new friend by the end of it!

Walked past this place for months and finally stopped by this summer. Their outdoor seating is great, and the patio is dog friendly! They were so sweet, instantly bringing water over for our pup (it was a pretty hot day). Staff was super attentive and helpful. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Our favorites were the mole and the flan with coconut ice cream, oh my it was to die for! I did not think I had room for dessert but we ate every bite of it. Highly recommend!

This place deserves more credit. Ive passed this place for the two years I’ve lived in lakeview and finally tried today. I got the chicken enchiladas with the green sauce (not super spicy) and it was bursting with flavor. The chicken was moist, the tortillas were delicious, the sauce complemented everything and the cheese brought everything together. The rice was so tasty (like legit Mexican rice, not a boxed taste at all) and the beans were also very flavorful. The margaritas are not too sweet and they’re strong. The patio was cute and perfect for people watching.I will be coming back for more(:

This traditional style Mexican restaurant has been a long time favorite. The food is excellent and delicious, the chips and dip also the margaritas are awesome!

Perfect corner outdoor seating to keep everyone physically distant and Coronavirus-responsible in Boystown. The margaritas are perfect the way I order them, and the food is typical “Mexican” fare. Although the specials (when they have them) are more unique Mexican dishes with wonderful flavor combinations not seen in other Mexican establishments.

I have never been disappointed by their food and their banana margarita is to die for.

GO HERE IMMEDIATELY! So good, chips and salsa out the gate. Nachos are bomb, fajitas even better. Freshest tortillas. Can’t get enough!

Fantastic service, food, and drinks with a very lively atmosphere. For food the quesadillas and steak nachos were particularly impressive. As for drinks, we stuck with pitchers of margarita. They were made with fresh lime juice and quite strong yet refreshing.

One of my favorite places. Sat up by the front windows watched all the locals.... If you host have the tortilla soup it's the best. Also had the chimicha s they are great.

We sat outside on a beautiful August night. The food, service, and atmosphere were great. Both of us ordered the chicken fajitas, which were delicious. I highly recommend the guacamole!

Food is okay. Nothing too special, but still good. Service is good. Sometimes slow though.

This my favorite mexican restaurant in all of Chicago and Illinois. The salsa is amazing and the chips compliment it well. My go to dish are the steak quesadillas, everything is made fresh to order. Be careful with the margaritas as they pack a punch. I really have nothing negative to say about this place, my wife and I have been coming here for 11 years even after we moved back to the suburbs we make the trek back to our favorite spot. Great and friendly staff as well.

The staff is all amazing which says a lot about your restaurant. Menu needs to updated. Hire a restaurant designer too help remodel. Time for a make over. Remove the wall between the bar and main dining room. Add bar stools so people can come in just for alcohol. There are high margins with alcohol and easy to make.

Fernando was a really nice server. The only thing was that food took super long to get to our table and it wasn't... the best.

Fernando runs a top flight operation at Las Mananitas. My friend introduced this place to me and it's one of my favorite places to get Mexican food and margaritas in the entire city. All the tacos are fantastic and you've got to get the queso fundido with chorizo. It's AMAZING. Top it all off with a pitcher or two of margaritas and you're good to go!!

Margaritas? 10. Service? 9. Food? 5. Decent food at decent prices. Of course the Margaritas are the reason to go there. And after the second margarita, who cares what the food is like? Wait staff is hit or miss; we have had over-the-top fantastic waiters and waiters we had to keep asking other servers to hunt down for us.

I want to offer my sincerest appreciation to the staff at Las Mananitas on the afternoon of 8-25-18. They picked up on signs of a distressed lady and were correct. I actually was in a bad situation with a horrible person. When the bad guy saw that others were inquiring about my well-being, he decided to leave my presence. Thank God for watchful eyes, I made it home safely. Thank all of you so much for being real gentlemen and asking me if I was okay. :-)

This is one of the few Mexican restaurants in Chicago that truly serves authentic Mexican cuisine. Their seasoning is up to par with the best and their prices are very reasonable. I would have given 5 stars if it were not for the parking.

While I was visiting Chicago I was craving some Mexican food and found this wonderful place. The staff was super friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed my experience thanks to the awesome servers :)

We dined at Las Mananitas on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. The restaurant was not busy so we were seated immediately and chose outside seating. The outside seating is nicely shaded by large umbrellas and is on a side street off Halsted. We ordered a pitcher of frozen strawberry Margaritas, they were delicious and very refreshing.

The food is delicious! A group of 4 went during Pride Fest expecting slow service and longer wait times, and were pleasantly surpised. We only waited 5 minutes for a table and were served immediately. Chips and a spicy salsa are placed on every table to start. We ordered more chips and guacamole as an appetizer. It came out smooth and fresh, topped with cheese and tomatoes. Dinner was chicken enchiladas with mole, steak and chicken tacos, and rice and beans to share. Everything was seasoned well and tasted very good. Portions are nicely sized too. We will definitely be back!

We have always enjoyed dinners here. The servers are great and the environment is festive and not loud (a big plus in my book). It's one of my family's go tos for a nice evening out

Decided to have dinner there before the Cubs game. I'm always on a mission to find the good Mexican restaurants in the city, and this is one of them. The burrito dinner was prepared and cooked with quality ingredients. Same holds true with the house margarita. Quite refreshing to taste freshly squeezed lime juice versus a prepared mix.

Classic little Mexican restaurant with a ton of seating. Went for lunch during the week and it wasn't busy. The salsa was great, the service was too. I had the enchiladas Verdes with chicken and it was just delicious.

First time customer on 3/23/2018 and was greeted warmly and sat immediately. While I was offered the menu, I asked what the best selling dish was and I was recommended to try the beef fajitas. They were delicious, served hot, with sides and tortillas! The waiters later explained they have been in business for many years and the family runs the restaurant. With food like this, they will continue to stay in business! A+Thanks for reading my review!

This place was delicious. The portions are huge and the prices are fair. The drinks were good as well. The service could have been a bit quicker, but I think when we went there was some miscommunication causing it to be slow. I'd honestly still recommend going here. My friends and I had a good time and meal.

Give yourself to try something different besides tacos, quesadillas and burritos. Weekends specials food menu are great. Great food
