Manitas Restaurant - Brackettville (TX)

4 /5 Aaron M: If you can catch them open, this family owned place is worth stopping for country American or Tex Mex. They do have a buffet, but Ive never tried it. Food: Although not pictured, I enjoy their barbacoa, guisado, huevos rancheros, pericos, and chicken fried steak. Food can be inconsistent depending on the cook, but the last CFS I had was perfect and competed with Del Rios "fancy" steakhouse by the lake. Service: iIts usually understaffed, and it gets busy, so it can be a little slow but not for lack of effort. Always friendly. Atmosphere: Hasnt changed in forever. Its cute in its own way, but it could use a face-lift. I do like the different old coffee mugs, though.

5 /5 Ryan Idema: Great authentic Mexican food at the mom and pop-like kitchen! Weekend barbacoa tacos there at Manitas is a guaranteed stop on every hunting trip I make to Bracketville.

4 /5 Lucille Thomas: We made a quick stop here after touring Fort Clark and caught them just before closing time on a Sunday. I had the chicken sandwich and it was okay. My husband had some sort of club sandwich and said it was pretty good. The service was great and our waitress was very nice. She made sure we were not neglected. Its a small place with a very welcoming atmosphere. The food came out fast and we were back on the road in no time.

4 /5 Hunter: Was really looking forward to this on Sunday. Hours said open, they werent. Now Im going to go cry

4 /5 Ruben Briones: very good place to eat,got there around 9:45,but they dont open until 10a.m,the breakfast tacos were big and full of the ingredients on it,i had two breakfast tacos,but i could probably would be full with just one since they were full of egg, potatoes and cheese and had hot coffee,i do recommend this place.
