This was in the American-Statesman yesterday.

Manchaca vs. Menchaca: Step closer to renaming South Austin road

http://www.statesman.com/news/local/...f0iIWNeXDny8H/

I've always called it Manshac, but then again I could never pronounce guacamole or Guadalupe as a kid either. It wasn't until I became an adult and realized where those names and words originated from that I started to make the switch. Still, honestly, I use Manshac and Manchaca almost universally.
