“The fact that the owner took the time and answered the woman who complained, took her opinion in consideration says a lot for them”
I hardly ever leave reviews but I have to share how spectacular this restaurant is.
El Maná greatly exceeded our expectations.
Very small, family restaurant. The food was excellent and the service friendly.
Delicious food, especially the asada and pastor.
Bad, bad, bad...
The food is bad poor service I don't recommend this place to no body.
AVOID... Gone down hill. I usually order as a guide of how places make their food. 6 steak tacos, meat and cheese only.

“Delicious Mexican food.”
Delicious Mexican food! A small restaurant with a warm atmosphere, and nice stuff serving us. The food price is definitely the best in Chicago. Well located close to the airport and with planning parking spaces. I came back with my sister for lunch during all of our 3 days studying in Chicago.

“I love my Tex-Mex from Texas so, this order of beef & chicken fajitas was mediocre.”
I love my Tex-Mex from Texas so, this order of beef & chicken fajitas was mediocre. All I could actually taste was the rice, beans, and peppers. The meats didn't seem to come thru with any flavor. 😢 The staff was friendly. $19 3 stars bc it was ok in a pinch.

I hardly ever leave reviews but I have to share how spectacular this restaurant is. Enchiladas, rice, salsa, horchata, michelada… everything I was served was absolutely delicious! Food was hot and fresh! My new favorite spot!

“El Maná greatly exceeded our expectations.”
El Maná greatly exceeded our expectations. We were starving after doing some shopping in the area and decided to check this place out. Everyone was nice. Food is very reasonable. My boyfriend got the tacos de asada which he said was very good! The torta de al pastor had piña inside and was so flavorful. Highly recommend:)
