Montezuma's Mexican Restaurant & Bar - Ipswich, QLD

"I created a Google account just so I could write a review here. We love coming here as they happily cater to dietary requirements. One thing that sticks out a mile compared to all other family restaurants, is that the plates come out piping hot and the food is also steaming hot. This is EXACTLY how meals should come out in all restaurants. I appreciate this so much because it’s not seen often. This tiny little detail is what keeps us coming back so please never change this feature. It’s beautiful Mexican food with a home style twist. I consider myself a foodie and I have high expectations when it comes to paying for good food and you guys tick all the boxes. Thank you so much!"

"Absolutely incredible every single time. The staff are warm and inviting and so so helpful. My husband and I went for lunch yesterday and there was a new girl on staff whom was absolutely lovely and so attentive. The manager welcomes us in with a warm smile every visit- she is an absolute delight. And don't even get me started on the food... My husband and I are vegan and to find more than one option on a menu is exciting to us, let alone being given a dedicated vegetarian/vegan menu and having multiple desert options as well! Amazing. And the taste is incredible, fresh crisp vegetables always and the meals cooked to absolute perfection. We tried the new ice cream nachos yesterday and they were so yummy and such a fun dish for dessert. Absolutely cannot fault them."

"I have been wanting to try this place for years but my partner isn't a fan of Mexican but I finally convinced him to give the authentic version a go last night. Typically at restaurants, the waiter/waitress will walk you to your table with menus but ours was pointed our from the front counter so we went and sat at our table and waited... and waited for menus. We had our 2 year old and newborn with us and we like to order as quickly as possible as our toddler settles when occupied by food so having that delayed was frustrating. We decided to leave after waiting some time for menus and as we were getting up, we were asked if we were ready to order which we informed the waitress that we can't order if we don't know what food there is. The waitress apologised and said she thought she had given us menus, which I would understand the oversight if the restaurant was busy but there was only one other occupied table who looked to be finishing their meals so there was no excuse for the lack of attentiveness. Surely a restaurant that is empty at 7pm on a Friday night cannot afford to have customers walking out. Saddens me that we won't be trying the food here as it took a long time to convince my partner to try it but now he has a valid excuse for not wanting to return due to the poor first impression. Rated 1 star for the experience but added another for the cute decor."
