Restaurant Review: Johnny Manana’s (the Former Ortega’s) in Ocean Beach

Johnny Manana's 4888 Newport Ave Ocean Beach, CA 92107 619-222-4205

By Judi Currry I have wanted to try this restaurant ever since it opened. Ortega’s was one of my favorites of Ocean Beach, and I was very curious to try the restaurant that was taking over for them.  Tonight Steve and I gave it a try. Let me start by saying that the food was, for the most part, very good. However, there were certain “happenings” that make me unsure if I will go there again.  But first for the review. When we walked in there were two groups sitting at two separate tables and one lady waiting for her order.  She stopped me and told me I would be absolutely “delighted” with the food and to tell all my friends about it.
