Food is outstanding, isn't OVERLY spiced, priced right, served quickly, generous helpings, the staff courteous, and eager to make the experience memorable. Definately NOT a chain restaurant taste. Being in a college town, the alcohol-free atmosphere keeps it from being like a local bar, and relatively free from annoying and loud drunks. I believe it's a BYOB place, so it's... More

Very much enjoyed the salsa and chips at Montezuma, but have to say that my burrito was a bit on the bland side! The cheese sauce covering it was quite tasty, but the steak inside lacked any type of seasoning (which was easily solved by dumping on some of the very flavorful salsa!) Prices were pretty good, so overall just... More

This was perhaps the worst food I have ever eaten in a restaurant. Very dry, tasteless, and not even hot. No alcohol. Who ever heard of a Mexican restaurant without a margarita?! Go somewhere else. You won't be sorry.

We eat here at least once a week. This is a little but away from the touristy areas, and a real local secret. The food is amazing and always comes out fast. Prices are excellent and the staff friendly.

The first disappointment was no margaritas--what in the world do they do on Cinquo de Mayo? The salsa was very good and the cheese dip was ok. We had the shrimp burritos, and I was pleased to see that the shrimp, onions, peppers, and tomatoes were freshly grilled. As I ate the burrito, however, I kept looking for a spice,... More

We were very hungry after touring all day. This was a small Mexican restaurant near the town. We noticed they did not serve alcohol. We ordered and had very good food. Chips and salsa were very tasty. Not very attentive service but our basic needs were met. Food was good and fast.

We were a large group and the staff was very accomidating. The food came out quickly and not a single person didn't enjoy their meal. The atmosphere was average. Not over the top. Prices were also resonable. If you want a beer with dinner make sure you bring it with you..... BYOB

One of the best Mexican places this far from Mexico. So pleased with all the vegetarian options! Good, quality food at decent prices.
