Manny's Tortas - REVIEW
Another review for you foodies!
Manny's Tortas - a hidden treasure on Lake Street. Manny's serves Mexican sandwiches along with a few salads, DESSERTS (YES!) and beer and wine.
The sandwiches are grilled, similar to a panini but not quite, and feature avocado, pickled jalpenos and refried beans (at least that is what Erica tells me but I didn't see or taste any).
I selected the Cubano Torta and the caesar salad. Excellent choice! The cubano featured ham, pork, chicken and cheese. All of the meats were extremely thin and mighty tasty and the sandwich had a nice spicy kick to it. The torta comes with chips but since I had the salad as well who needs the chips?
The salad was also very good, the dressing was more oil based than creamy so it was light and flavorfull (I am really coming along with my review skills). Lots of croutons as well.
No dessert for me that night but they had flan (custard), tiramisu, and a special of the day which looked to be cheesecake.
There are coupons in your Entertainment Happenings books - good for buy one, get one.
Best thing about Manny's - they are open to 3 AM! Late night muchies! Munch on Manny's!
Okay, time for the ranking...on a scale of 1-10...
1-2 - Rosen's Bad...never enter again or unless forced to
3-4 - not bad...needs work
5-6 - average
7-8 - delicioso
9-10 - caliente!
I give Manny's Tortas an 8...very good food but no air conditioning and small seating area. I think Manny's is a good place to call ahead and order your torta and then return to your own air conditioned abode.
If you want to go...2700 E. Lake Street, Minneapolis, MN.
ENJOY!

Deborah,
How come all of your blogs involve eating? Even your trip to the Twins game involved having a big wiener, I mean eating a dome dog. Thanks for all the blogs, reading them took up have my morning.

Deborah,
It seems to me that all of your blogs occur during the weekday and after 8:30 a.m. Let's set up a meeting to discuss your job duties.

Hello Deborah,
Sounds like your weekend was full of giggles and sillyness, good for you. It's too bad you didn't go to the block party, we could have bumped into each other. I will say that I adored Howie Day and Ben Lee, both are such cuties, I'm sure you would have loved them too. Anyhoo, good to see another food review, I really think you are a doll for sharing your extensive knowledge of food with readers like me. It sounds like you are a sucker for mexican food, I guess I'm just a sucker for Mexicans:) Sorry, that was a little naughty. Well, I'm going to have to check out Manny's in the near future and looking forward to another caliente result.
Hugs and Kisses,
Gordie
