Manne’s Biergarten

Go to Mexico, get German food? Certainly wasn’t my first thought but my dad led my family and I here, including my German grandfather.
The restaurant is divided into two parts, a small dining room up front and a «biergarten» type area in the back. No matter where you sit, it’s all pretty cozy. The proprietors are German themselves and all around the restaurant hangs European memorabilia ranging from soccer jerseys and cliché tourist shirts in German, to flags and photos.
For eats, they have German staples including a variety of sausages, schnitzel, goulash, and daily specials like roast pork and prime rib. On this Friday, the special was ham hock which you have to reserve in advance. Definitely for locals in the know! If you’re not into German food, they have a variety of Mexican dishes, as well as roasted chicken and pasta.
Being a German family, everyone at my table went with German food. I got the bratwurst platter that came with sauerkraut and french fries, but I asked for potato salad instead. All in all, the bratwurst was tasty. The potato salad wasn’t the traditional lighter style I’ve come to expect from German restaurants, but more creamy like here in America. Overall, everyone really enjoyed there dishes, including my grandpa that went with VERY traditional liverwurst including a fried egg on top. It’s a little too out there for me to try.
We were in Mexico after all, so I wasn’t surprised to see tables around us enjoying tequila towers, while I went for a nice German beer on draft. About halfway through our meal, a conga line appeared led by one of the owners to the risqué version of «Living Next Door to Alice.» It was quite entertaining and solidified my inkling that these people are here for a good time! The complimentary tequila shots we got at the end of our meal definitely drove that home.
Was I skeptical? Yes. Am I happy we kicked off our trip to Mexico at Manne’s? You betcha!

Great German food and a fun atmosphere!

Este es un lugar estilo taberna alemana donde se come delicioso, hasta reventar, acompañado claro, de la mejor cerveza. El ambiente es como de carne asada con los amigos y los sabores súper alemanes.
¿Habías escuchado sobre lugares donde tienen especialidades por días? Pues Manne’s Biergarten es uno de ellos.
Los domingos tienen un platillazo, es costilla preparada con papas y ensalada, es riquísima y gigante, de hecho, es tan grande que es más recomendable que si es para una persona, pida media porción, porque está grosero el tamaño del plato, pero eso si, increíblemente deliciosa.
Los viernes tienen puerco rostizado, de una calidad y un sabor insuperable y lo sirven con col agria. Preparan también el famosísimo schnitzel, que vendría siendo milanesa empanizada, en el menú no podrían faltar las salchichas alemanas y por supuesto, el famosísimo Gulasch.
No esperes el gran lujo ni la presentación apantallante de los platillos, pero no importa, porque su sabor superará todas tus expectativas. Tienen variedad de cervezas, vinos y lo mejor, prepárate porque tienen una bebida de la casa, pregunta por el famosísimo Hausfusel, ¡ya verás lo que es bueno!
