Gi s Back - Manuel`s

.....
P OR FAVOR
Manuel’s has a long history of supporting
school programs, charitable organizations,
and the arts. We are proud of these
community relationships, and the patronage
of so many regular “Manuelians”, which
allows us to keep giving back. We offer
charitable donations to local organizations
who want to have a dining event at any of
our restaurants.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Discover & Diner’s Club. No personal checks, separate
checks or split tickets. Substitutions & variations are subject to extra charge. Allow an 18%
gratuity for parties of 5 or more. To-go orders are charged 50 cents per container. Half price
appetizers are not available as to-go items. Half orders are available on certain items.
Gives Back
For 30 years Manuel’s restaurant has delighted local residents,
politicians, musicians, and students in Austin, Texas.
From the farm to the sea, we prepare Mexican food infused
with unique, savory flavors, and steeped in tradition. Our
award-winning mole and famous margaritas transport you to a
place of timeless satisfaction.
Delicious food comes from centuries of passion, and the toil of
one mother’s hand to another. Traditional Mexican cooking
was recently recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible World
Heritage Cuisine. As stewards of this type of cooking, we
honor and share this legacy.
Manuel’s food is prepared with love and care, using high
quality, local, and seasonal ingredients. The beef, chicken,
and pork we serve are all natural, and our seafood is wildcaught from certified sustainable waters. Our fresh fish
is hand cut daily, never frozen. Salad dressings and fried
foods are made with canola and virgin olive oils, and we
feature many gluten-free, dairy free, and vegetarian options.
Muchas Gracias for choosing Manuel's!
