Aug 25, 2026"Food was decent ; not spectacular but not bad either. Waitress was working hard but they also had her working the takeout counter as well. This led to an overly long wait for our food. Restrooms also need to be cleaned. Yucca was very good with a garlic source. BBQ chicken was standard. Not a bad place but nothing to get excited about either."

Aug 22, 2026"A True Gem of Authentic Latin Cuisine in Perth Amboy! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely love Don Manuel! This restaurant serves the most authentic South American and Latin specialties I’ve had in the area. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality that makes you feel like part of the family. The menu is filled with incredible dishes that transport you straight to Latin America with every bite. Whether it’s their perfectly seasoned mofongo, succulent churrasco, or rich and flavorful paella marinera, everything is prepared with care and authenticity. You can truly taste the passion in every dish. What really sets Don Manuel apart, though, is the staff. They are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile and helpful recommendations. Their genuine warmth creates such a welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit special. The cozy environment is perfect for enjoying a meal with family or friends, and the service is consistently excellent. This is the kind of place that doesn’t just serve food—it creates an experience. I can’t wait to go back again! If you’re looking for authentic Latin cuisine served with heart and soul, Don Manuel is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!"
