If you’re anything like me and haven’t been here in a while is time to come back. It had been years since I’ve been here but the food is as delicious as when I used to come in the 90s. The Hollenbeck burrito (mini) still amazing topped with not just salsa but chunks of pork, or your choice of meat” the dinner plates are also great. The Chile Relleno platter is delicious served with rice beans smothered in cheese and choice of corn or flour tortillas. All this under $25 for two, a true bargain in today’s economy.

Still as delicious as it was when I was growing up in the area. While visiting this past weekend I had to stop and have a mini hollenbeck burrito. It was so good. Definitely a must when visiting LA.

Mother’s Day ritual. Huevos Rancheros and The Original Hollenbeck are always on the check. Nothing short of delicious. Capacity is low. Friendly vibe, pretty sure same people are at the counter every time I go. First time I came here was 1993, the only thing that changes is price. Not pictured, chips and salsa.

anyone notice different taste on mannys spec he's probably rolling over in grave forsur... 35 yrs I dont forget taste

It can always vary. Little or too much salt can be one. Jalapeños can be mild or hotter. One big thing, been going there since '78...our taste buds change as we get older. Eat to much hot chili, it destroys our taste buds. It has been consistent & even Manny being gone can have slight changes, like our cooking, even worst, our wife's.

Does the same family still own the restaurant? Loved it 40 years ago Will be back in LA soon.

@ Cheryl bender no it's not the same owners. Elena, the daughter of Manuel, and a cousin are running it, but everything is different because they cannot agree on how to run it. I have been going there since 1976 and been changing ever since Manuel passed.

Rosalie Hernandez | Aug 21, 2021
Sylvia Bishop | Aug 21, 2021

I recently ordered on NYE and 2 cost me $84 (each one feeds 8 ppl).. well worth it

Do you ship orders or no?? I live in Minneapolis Minnesota and am interested in ordering at least one Manuel Special...if so, I am a long time childhood fan and would love to know that I could order and have it shipped to the Twin Cities

Tina Story | Aug 21, 2020
Jackie Baby | Aug 21, 2021

They did not ship because they would not test to see if you got to eat it fresh right on the spot

Coming from Arizona is this the place where u get a shot of tequila on your way In

George Valencia | Aug 22, 2018
Rick Cabezas | Aug 22, 2018

When the owner Manuel was alive he would "offer" you a shot of tequila if he was outside and you were standing in line. He has since passed away. They don't sell tequila on the menu.

How many people does the huge Manuel's Special burrito serve?

A Google User | Aug 22, 2017
Eric G. | Aug 22, 2019

It is advertised 2-4 people. But that all depends on the people, one person can eat it all but it can feed 4 people. If you have it for a party and have sides you can cut it into 6 pieces. Either way well worth it.
