Montezuma's - Mooloolaba

Booked a table for 8 for a birthday party. Was told that they had accidentally double booked our table, and we had to be out in 1 1/2 hours. Which was an impossible task for 8 people to order, wait for food, eat, have drinks and then eat dessert. I brought a cake, which we had to scoff down so that we would leave on time. We had no time to sit, chat and enjoy ourselves - we were all just watching the clock. Food was cold and average, no one enjoyed their dishes. I was really upset because I planned this for my boyfriend's 25 birthday and it was a huge let down.

awesome food and great experience, only very small negative is the wait staff did not listen properly, mucked up a few small details, but this did not detract from a fantastic restaurant and meal

Restaurant is looking very tired (don’t ask about the toilets🤢) Staff were efficient and nice but main meal (chicken nachos) was cold and bland.

The staff we saw were great. One of our kids bit a taco and it was rubber so instead of breaking it just pushed together and all the topping shot out of the top all over her. After we sorted that all our tacos where rubber shells the staff offer to replace them. We just got two of the five replaced. Little my fault been eating the brand for years in tweed and north Sydney never thought it had onions, ordered without looking at the menu as I thought I knew it very well only to realise it now has chunks of onion.. Turned my other child off eating the food. The food was average the staff were all friendly and nice.

We hadn’t been for a number of years and found the venue very tired with multiple leaks in the ceiling due to storms in the area. Overall the food was good but the ambiance left a lot to be desired.

Staff were amazing, food was amazing, could not fault it at all. We will be returning.

Tables had not been cleared. They had run out of pork. Ran out of rice while we were eating. The hard shell tacos tasted stale but turns out they were undercooked. But they were very apologetic about everything that was below average and very happy to remake hard tacos which was much appreciated.

Delightful staff and very fast service - lovely food as well

The dips in trio of dips were all cold - the place needs a serious Reno as everything is old, chairs wobbly and tables uneven. Wouldn’t go back.

Friendly staff, nice food, good range to pick from on the menu.

Great service and food was delicious! Next day we got takeaways again and same quality!

Really enjoyed our meal. Delicious as usual Really great service

Always good and staff are very nice overall really nice

The Nachos and enchilladas were good. I can make better chilli con carne as there was no spice/heat in the one that I was served. The waitress said that she would return with new cutlery after we had eaten our entree but forgot to return. The Sangria had no flavour. Not a great dining experience

excellent! service was quick, there are so many great choices on the menu, drinks were delicious, great location, can see the beach from the restaurant which is always lovely. will be returning!

Terrible wait times. Meals came out at different times. Staff were attentive though.

Really nice food & great service from friendly staff. We’ll be back

Always a great meal at Monte’s. definitely a must do in Mooloolaba

Meals didn't come out together. 3 came out and the 4th arrived 10 minutes later. Had to ask twice for our serve of jalapinos.

The table we booked was ready when we arrived, which was great. We ordered our drinks. I’d finished mine by the time the rest of the table got theirs 10-15 mins after me. There were six of us, we ordered nibbles and mains. Starters were fine, poppers a little pricey for what you get. Then the mains started dribbling in. First off, one order was wrong, that had to be sent back as it had items on it we asked not to be. Still waiting for all the food. The wrong dish that was brought back, pulled pork completely cold. Now five of us have got out food, 20-25mins and still no last meal. We had to wave someone down. Then we realised they’d completely forgotten it. We had all finished eating. Last person finally got their meal while we all watched her eat. 15mins later a confused girl comes to the table with another meal. Obviously no communication or very poor staff training. Now rating the food, rice dried out and no flavour, overall I’d give food a big blahhhh. Which was a pity as I love Mexican. The staff were friendly but clueless.

Great service, great food, awesome atmosphere great value for money. We will be returning.

The food was lovely but the building and inside the restaurant were looking a little tired and nit the cleanest.

Wow, what a shocker. Anything worse than getting vegan fajitas instead of normal. How do people eat that shit. Never again, good luck to them. Place used to be so much better.

Good service, food came out quickly and was nice, prices reasonable.

I had my usual, San Francisco, it was awesome, my wife had the Monty Delight, minor hiccup with the beef, but the store rectified, so all good. Cocktails were awesome, we love Montezumas, never disappoints.

Bloody amazing food and service. Will be back for more

Have been coming to Montys for years, our favourite restaurant on the coast. Disappointed last night. Our order was not taken for nearly 45 mins, others seated after us we’re getting their dinner & we hadn’t even ordered. Yes it was busy, but I think could have been handled better. Restaurant was HOT, no aircon or fan on. Qld needs aircon. Provide blankets for patrons who het cold perhaps. I know you can’t pls everyone. Food was good , staff friendly, just felt a bit forgotten

All meals the staff and the classic Margaritas were great.

Great food. Great service. really enjoyed our time there and would recommend.

Last meal took so long to come out others had finished. And when it came out it was missing 2 main sauces and prawns where dry.

My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Montezumas Mooloolaba with our children. We first dated in 1994 and our first dining experience was at Montezumas Mooloolaba. We often dine there over the years, I have tried all the menu items, love them all. My favorite is the San Antonio for entree and the Colorado for mains. We had a great night and I cannot fault any experience over the the past 29 years.

I ordered Chile Verde. Also the Sangria. Both are off-the-scale AWFUL. The Chile Verde - rice undercooked, still quite hard. The meat overcooked and tasted dry and cardboard-like. Just plain awful. The sangria - really you call this a sangria? This is not the Montezuma I used to know and love. Just a HUGE disappointment tonight.

We waited for over 1 hour for our meals, We had an early sitting and orsered beef strips which they could not supply?

Food great as was the service. Thanks topped my birthday off 🥳

Screaming kud on next table..our order was ordered wrong had to wait..noise was terrible

Food was horrible, waited over an hour for nachos and two tacos. Tacos were freezing cold and we ordered beef nachos. They gave us pulled pork. Service was terrible, no one looked happy being there. The two margaritas were nice tho

Food was delicious and service was happy & helpful. Well done to the staff and owners, we’ve been coming to Montez for many many years and feel the good old flavour with some twist is back. Love the change in corn chips - delicious.

Rang and asked for an inside table a week before reservation and was told it was inside which when we arrived it wasn’t. They moved us to their last booth crammed in the corner which was disappointing. Luckily we were able to move before our food came. Food was yummy but it does take over an hour each time we go!

Great meals. Efficient, friendly service. Great themed atmosphere! Easy booking

Food was very average. We ordered nachos which were soggy and minimal chips. Also ordered the quesadillas which only come with 3 pieces and no salsa or sour cream. Overall pretty disappointed and won't return.

Wonderful service, fantastic food. Will definitely recommend and we will return next time we are in Mooloolaba

Amazing food and drinks friendly staff best night with my partner

Lovely food, atmosphere and staff as always. One of our go to favourites.

Prompt service and good food. Even got the window table that we'd requested. Nice touch was that our young 9 year old guest was given a puzzle/colouring sheet and coloured pencils to occupy her.

My Drango meal was nice, but my partner chicken Fajita was very dry, no sauce and onion and capsicum not cooked and not sizzling, like it used to be. Unappealing. Sorry. The rest was nice.

Always great food and good service Never been dissatisfied with this place

Keep going back for all of our families special occasions. Love their food

Always fantastic , been going there for 30years with my family

The meals were tasting and fairly quick to come to the table, considering the busy time of night

Yuummmy! As always thanks. I love the enchilada and salad
