About

About Us

At Manchamanteles, we honor the depth and discipline of Mexican cuisine through fire, memory, and modern refinement.

 

Manchamanteles (mahn-chah-mahn-TEH-les), meaning “tablecloth stainer,” reflects the richness at the heart of our tradition—layered, complex, and built on contrast: sweet and savory, smoke and spice, history and evolution.

 

Inspired by the culinary traditions of Mexico’s 32 states, our kitchen, led by Chef Generoso “Geno” Bahena, brings regional ingredients and ancestral techniques into a contemporary expression.

 

Cocina de humo is central to our cooking. Mesquite, oak, and the Aztec grill shape the character of meats, vegetables, handmade corn tortillas, and seasonal ingredients.

 

Mole is at the heart of our table. Our collection of five moles explores the breadth of this ancient tradition, including a nut-free mole that allows more guests to experience its depth and complexity. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options reflect the abundance and versatility of Mexican cuisine.

 

Rooted in Mexico. Shaped by fire. Guided by time.

Jean B.

“I worked with Manchamanteles to plan a family celebration for our summer birthdays and the whole experience from start to finish was seamless and delicious. We were a party of 28 people and they allowed us to order off the menu versus going with a a group package as we had some individuals with dietary restrictions. They were welcoming and attentive to our needs the entire time. Service was friendly, efficient, and timely and the food, as always was stellar. Thank you to the entire team for making our celebration so Special. "
