Description

This festive atmosphere and the ample eats have folks from all walks of life stepping through Manny's front door.

There. I said it. In a city that consistently praises Mia's for offering the greatest brisket tacos (they even get credit for inventing the cheese-laden version), I think it's time to highlight what I... More »

Buzz past Manny's Uptown Tex-Mex Restaurante during prime time on a Saturday night, and you'll likely glimpse a chaotic scene. Hungry would-be diners mob the entry waiting for a table. They loiter in clusters on the lawn, bump elbows at the bar an... More »
Roosting Tortilla

By Mark Stuertz | Thu, April 21, 2005

It was only a matter of time before the border fortified its hold on Uptown. Manny Rios, part of the family that crafted Mia's Tex-Mex, is the culprit. Rios is set to open Manny's Uptown on May 5--a rendition of Mia's famed cuisine--in the former ... More »

Pretty good brisket... I have found that no matter where you go... the quality of the Brisket sometimes depends on the time of day you get there.
