Food was great but we were waiting for 1.5 hours to get our main meals.
Food was good but service was slow even though restaurant was empty
Mexican fast food. No glasses offered with drinks, Nothing to stir the cocktails with. Staff seemed unhappy.
Quick and friendly service. Food was delicious. Will definitely go back again.
Service was slow and the beef tacos were watery- disappointing
Great service and food. Very friendly staff. Music not loud
Nice service.Nice Staff. Good Location. Good prices. Good for parking.
Unfortunately, we had some issues. For Fathers Day & free desserts 4 all fathers, the restaurant seemed understaffed. Of course, anything free will attract the crowds, Mr Manager/Mr Owner. Although the kitchen was fairly fast (fast for us, but our extended family thought they were slow) - our 2nd waiter (a young man) tried to charge us for the free fathers desserts x 3. My sister had to get a refund. He undercharged us and we had to do a 2nd Chargé for a meal he left off. When we were leaving, he was checking us out with 2 x other parties, whilst other families were trying to get in and be seated. It was chaotic to say the least. Husband noticed that the outside of the restaurant looked tired and the decorations looked very old. He also said one of the bathroom taps was broken and the light over one of the men’s bathroom cubicles was not working. I noticed that the toilets looked old and dirty. The front of the bathroom doors were covered in filth. There were also no men/women pictures on the bathroom doors for those who could not read Spanish (Senor/Senorita). Our father could not understand what they meant and had to ask his son-in-law to tell him which one was the men’s!! The meals were nice - but not as well presented as our regular Montezuma’s. For example: the chicken Enchiladas, had lettace/salad on the side - however, the cook had put the salad on the plate before putting it in the oven to warm - when it was served, the lettuce was a big pile of wilted mess. He should have put the lettace/salad on the places just before they were served, not before placing them in the oven. Compared to our 5 star Albany Creek restaurant - Taringa was quite the disappointing delivery, especially for Father’s Day.
The food took forever to arrive (almost 1 hour) after seeing others who had arrived after us receive theirs. The meals were incomplete and the portion sizes continue to decrease.
One staff member really nice and trying her best. Two meals were missed and everyone else had almost finished by the time they arrived with no apology, this staff member was particularly sour. When the place is full it is very noisy and hard to hear what someone two seats away is saying. The food was hot and good.
Cannot go wrong with dinner at Montezuma’s! It’s always fantastic.
Great food and nice atmosphere. Always enjoy our visit! Yum
Food good but service extremely poor- waited an hour for meal though restaurant not v full. Mistakes with meal and also with bill
The food was fresh so we loved it. Great experience.
Food was taste not not quite up to the usual standard
They were busy and new staff...mains took just on an hour...some incorrect charges on the bill. Food was good though.
Reserved a table requesting for the inside but table got taken by someone else which was a bit disappointed but then eventually got moved inside
It was quite busy but our server Liam was attentive and pleasant.
Very nice staff, nice decoration and like the details, cozy environment
Great value for money size meals that taste delicious, with a Mexican atmosphere.
Arrived at 1750 drink and food orders were taken quickly but over 45 mins to wait for food at the table. Extra drinks orders were taken but never arrived. Friendly enough staff but table service boycotted best.
Simply horrid. Substandard food, substandard staff. No atmosphere. Don't waste your time.
Loved it !!! Brilliant as always - thank you !
The food is always good here. Saturday night can be busy and you will have to wait a little for your meals but they always come piping hot. Of course the bar is always serving while you wait.
Service was amazing - didn’t catch her name but the blonde lady with glasses served us and she was so patient and helpful! Food was delicious and did not take long to come at all. A perfect dining experience!!!
It took 35 minutes to come out and there was no staff around to ask questions about the menu. I had to go up and ask the only girl at the bar a query about a dish. I found my meal the Monetezuma Delight a bland dish and not worth the money or the wait !
Food was great as usual, but a little slow on the service tonight.
Friendly and efficient service, only suggested improvement would be to improve the food delivery time...
Thank you for being so helpful with our large party and food allergies!
Meals satisfactory but waited a long time for them to be served.
We have been going to Montezuma's, Taringa for over 20 years. Over the past couple of years since the owner sold to new managers the quality of the food has declined markedly. This visit was the worst ever. I will give the staff credit when they realised that our order had gotten lost in the system and we had been waiting an hour for food they quickly rectified the situation. The food that arrived was well below the quality we used to get at Montezuma's. I highly doubt we will return as it is clear the new owners do not care as much as the previous owner.. Very sad as this has been a family favourite for a long time.
Very big meals and tasty thank you, will be back
We won't be back at 54 time is of a premium! We'd like to have our next meal before we turn 100!
We went there for my mother’s birthday. Thank you to the staff for making our night enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble
Very tasty enchiladas and Spanish rice, don’t know what they add to it to make it so delicious
There’s Great food and service. It’s a dog friendly place.
Very disappointed. Poor service - waiter did not come back to table after taking order so unable to order drinks and extra food. I tried to get the waiters attention multiple times and even tried to call the phone to ask a waiter to come to our table. Food was very tasteless and the chicken nachos were missing the corn chips... The only positive was the hot sauce.
Nobody acknowledged us shen we arrived. When someone finally did, we were just pointed in the direction of our table. We were first to arrive but no sooner had the rest of our party sat down, we were asked if we were ready to order. When we said no, there was a lengthy period till we did get to order. The food took ages to arrive and didnt all arrive at the same time. We had to ask for a dessert menu and then there was another lengthy wait forbthe order to be taken then another long wait for the food to arrive which we were dissapointed in. Other members of our party had ordered cappuccinos and were not even offered sugar or a spoon. All in all a pretty ordinary experience
We've been going to Montezumas Taringa for 16 years and we still love it. Such beautiful food!!
was very nice , atmosphere good and friendly. staff lovely
