Whether you're just passing through or live with us in Brewster, you won't want to miss these Mexican food spots when the mood or occasion strikes.
Las Mananitas
The stateliest Mexican food experience in Brewster belongs to Las Mananitas. The thick, rustic woodwork, the soaring rafters with their crafted chandeliers, and the elaborate stonework both inside and out give the grounds and dining areas a rich, southwestern atmosphere. In warmer weather, the three tiers of the outdoor terrace offer stunning views of the treed hills and tranquil waters of East Branch Reservoir. This impressive layout makes Las Mananitas a spectacular venue for private and corporate events as well as a great place to take your family for lunch or dinner.
You'll find the food and drink at Las Mananitas as compelling as its atmosphere. Whether you're looking for excellent traditional dishes like burritos and fajitas, or carnitas made from superb verdes, rojas, and mole sauces, or something light like ceviche, or even the seafood flavor of paella marinera, you'll find it cooked to perfection at Las Mananitas. There are fresh vegetarian and gluten-free alternatives and you can have your guacamole prepared right at your table. This popular restaurant may have a waiting list when you arrive, but it will be well worth it.
