Manuels has been a godsend since I have moved to Austin. I found out about Manuels from my neighbor across the street who frequents the restaurant. She embodies Texas hospitality and was my very first friend in Austin. Manuels is a first restaurant we went to together with her mom who has since passed away. For these reasons Manuals is special to me. There are other reasons that Manuals is special too, the staff is attentive and friendly. I especially love the patio because it has the breeze, the shade of the trees and it just feels like you are at home but a treasured but guest all at once.
