This place is worth the best tacos award for sure! The service was so friendly, she asked if we'd been there and then explained the tacos, made some recommendations, laid out the sauces that came with it he chips, super helpful. The walls are covered in cute taco related signs. We both had tacos, husband had a strawberry margarita, I had horchata- both were excellent.

Fantastic tacos! I see the stlHEADLINERS best tacos title is well deserved... if you can't decide, go with the pastor taco - you won't be disappointed! Can't wait to try something new next time! Also, the place is very clean, decor is nice and the staff is extremely welcoming!

I had never actually been to the brick and mortar Tacos el Manny location. I have only ever had the food truck at Taco fest, etc. I'm so glad I got to check it out! The staff was friendly and very patient with our large group. The birria is amazing! I got the quesabirria because I just HAD to. One of my favorites. I cannot wait to try the birria Ramen next time I go. Mouthwatering!!

The foodie fam hit up Tacos El Manny for Foodie Friday! Tacos El Manny in Granite City, Illinois, is a hidden gem that won tacos of the year at Taco Fest. Their shrimp loaded fries are a gift to St. Louis. The fries are extra crispy with cheese and shrimp. These fries do NOT get soggy. They stay crispy throughout your meal. The portion sizes are huge so go hungry. Beyond the shrimp loaded fries which are my favorites, the menu has an impressive array of authentic Mexican dishes. Unique items include the Mexican Ramen and Mexican hotdog. Manny is so sweet and hbut likely thinks we're all nuts lol! He's not wrong. Highly recommended!

Extremely limited menu for vegetarians. Ordered birria ramen and tacos and spouse gave it 5/5 stars. I had loaded fries with chicken and it was fine. 3/5. It was just fries, chicken, too much cheese, and a chipotle mayo. Guacamole needed adjustment at the table because it wasn't seasoned at all. Horchata was very good. Service was fine and reasonable time coming out of the kitchen.

This is real mexican food! The Carnita's and Birria tacos were fantastic. The workers were super helpful when we were ordering and we will definitely be back!

Great food and service. The sauces are delicious. Fun decor. The street corn is sweet but can be spiced up with one of their three sauces which they bring to the table.
