I went to Las Manitas a few years ago while I was working downtown and was not impressed with the food. However, my fiance had never been and so the other day we decided to give it a try. When we walked in, it was almost like the staff was purposely ignoring us. There were three signs at the entrance. One said ""Please wait to be seated,"" another said ""Please seat yourself,"" and the third said ""Please sign your name on the list for a table."" We looked around, obviously confused as to which to do, but each waiter would make eye contact and then go back to what he/ she was doing. There was a woman behind the counter that was too busy conversing with somebody to take the time to acknowledge us. Since the list had names on it, we began to add ours. As we were writing, a couple came in behind us and a waiter told them to sit wherever. So, they took the only available table (not exactly a ""Texan"" thing to do). I can't say whether the food was good because we promptly left and walked to Manuel's and it was fabulous.
Cons: Very rude and inattentive staff
