Manuel's is probably just a little over a mile from The Cabin.  I grew up eating Mexican food at Manuels.   It was a special treat because Dad was usually grilling on the back deck.  If I have been away from the area for a while I usually order two meals: one to have on the spot and one to have for breakfast the next day. In the big picture it is a really good, family-run Mexican restaurant.  But because of my history with this place I sometimes dream of mixing the rice and refried beans together and scooping them up with fresh totilla chips. Check it out. You will not be disappointed.
