About
Las Mananitas is a solid choice if you want decent Mexican food and strong margaritas in a festive, mixed crowd setting. The outdoor seating puts you right in the action of Northalsted, steps from popular gay bars. It's a standard-priced spot with a menu heavy on seafood and classic Mexican fare.
The atmosphere and clientele are friendly, though service can sometimes be slow. Weekends are busy, so plan accordingly. If you're heading out for a night in Boystown, this is a convenient place to pregame.
Located in Northalsted (Boystown), Chicago's historic gayborhood, it's surrounded by popular gay bars and nightlife.

“Bueno o malo”
The food has consistently been very good, but the service can be painfully slow at times. I generally enjoy the setting, atmosphere, and friendly crowd, though you might end up spending extra time there.
