The food ans service was excellent! The pork Verde hit the spot. Margarita was excellent with Patron. The atmosphere was a little weird with the pool table in the middle of the room. But, it is a night club at night.

Manzanita was amazing! I’d highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates great Mexican food and service. I started with a Margarita, which was refreshing and delicious. I liked that it wasn’t too sweet. The salsa bar had a nice variety, with each salsa clearly labeled in order by spice level. I tried two of the medium-spicy ones, and they had a nice kick to them. For my main dish, I ordered Manny’s Burrito because I was curious about the cactus in it, and it did not disappoint! The beef was incredibly generous, tender, and flavorful, while the refreshing cactus balanced it out perfectly. The portion was huge, but after a long morning hike, I was hungry enough to finish it. The staff were also very attentive and friendly, and I had a great time. It’s just a little outside the town center

Honestly, the best authentic Mexican food in Idyllwild! I came on friday and ordered the Agauchiles and they were delicious with the perfect amount of spice! My husband ordered the enchiladas and they where fresh and the sauce was amazing. The beans and rice taste just like home. We where so impressed with not just there food but also their costumer service so....we came back for round 2 the following day and this time I got pic to share with you guys!!! On our 2nd return I ordered a Coctel de Camaron y pulpo (shimp & octopus seafood cocktail) when it arrived it looked so colorful and you could tell the vegetables where freshly cut! I took the first bite and I am not lying its been a while since I has such an amazing coctel! It had the perfect amount of lemon, veggies and the flavor was

★★★★☆ 4.0 Doug Rosson · Oct 2025

We have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the time. We came here on a Sunday and it wasn't busy at all. The seating area is on the smaller side but not tight. There is a little bar and then a handful of tables. The staff was friendly and informative. They have a nice salsa bar with a bunch of different selections. We all got different entries and they were all pretty good. Prices were as expected and we will be back to try more of the menu.
