El Maná

We discovered El Mana while we were taking a day trip to Bellingham and its definitely a hidden gem. It's located in a little strip mall in a quiet area and can easily be missed. We arrived just after 12:00pm and were expecting a lunch rush, but it was very quiet. The decor isn't anything fancy, but that didn't discourage us. There is a good variety of items on the menu, with options for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike - didn't seem to be any vegan or gluten free options though, which wasn't an issue for me and my friends. The food was made quickly and was absolutely delicious. It was also quite affordable for the amount of food as well. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area, or making a trip to/through Bellingham.

We had a great dinner at El Mana in Bellingham! The young person at the counter was friendly and helped us make our choices. My partner is gluten free and there were a lot of gf options available for him. We had pupusas and pastellitos with horchata and a pineapple drink and everything was delicious! Their green hot sauce was amazing, too!
