Manny's

Tonight our neighbors Brian & Julie wandered over to our house to invite us to dinner with them at Manny's in downtown KC. I had been there before & it is not my favorite but none of the others had & everyone was curious to check this place out since it is voted one of thee top authentic mexican restaurants in KC to eat!

We got there around 5:30pm & it was an hour long wait & trust me, it took all of 60 minutes to be seated in this joint. Once we were finally seated at our table they brought the chips & salsa. Now when it comes to chips & salsa we are somewhat of a connoisseur since we frequent many different mexican restaurants & these were NOT the best we have ever had. Their salsa tasted like it had way too much chili powder in it & the chips were cold & tasted stale. Bummer! Next up was our food. Shane & I both ordered the Monterrey Chix Chimi entree which we later find out did NOT come with rice OR beans on the side. You had to order that ala carte! WTH? What mexican entree doesn't come with rice & beans?!? We were already paying $8 for a chimi & now they wanted me to spend another $4 for rice & beans ala carte? Crazy! We were both not impressed by this point & after eating our chimi with tons of beans & hardly any chix, we decided that we would probably never eat here again. On The Border & Rudy's still remain a favorite in our hearts :) Sorry Manny's!
