When a resturant has been around for over 35 yrs and still open for business, you have to believe in it, and the food that Montezumas serves. I have not been there for about a year, and the very friendly staff recognised me and have for years. This place is rare. The food quality has not Changed,and is still a favorite to many local Gold Coast locals. There are rarely somethings you can rely on in life, especially when food outlets are concerned, but this place is definatly going to serve the local gold coast people for years to come.

We had a good meal, the table service was snappy. The menu is huge and a bit confusing, we would recommend the combination plates. The food was good and served really hot. The margaritas were great, the bar service was kind of awkward, I was lining up for drinks and my starter arrived. Modern classic California-ish Mexican. Solid 8/10. We will be back.
