la comida esta bien , el servicio ok , pero creo que para un lugar donde uno va a comer y compartir la música debería estar más bajita , parece que es un launch, y los launch la música alta es después de las 11 pm , y una música alta desde las 12 de la tarde , esta fuerte , creo que no vuelvo ni lo recomiendo y eso que soy dj , pero si es a comer necesito paz , gracias read more

I'm still giving this place three stars. My bartender was not very pleasant or entertaining like most places I have visited. The appetizers were very misleading. I thought I was getting a bunch of fresh nachos like the beef nachos were, but instead I received 4 nachos with imitation crab meat all over it. They were not good or worth the price. Now my beef nachos, those were excellent. I wish I had ordered those first. I have to say the bar scene was nice until about 8p.m. that's when they turn up the music and then it begins to seem more of a party scene. Anyway overall this place is what it is, an o.k. reasurant good for some Apps and drinks and hanging out after work. I would not want to visit this place on weekends. read more

The food has always been stellar at this place, and the drinks even better. I used to love coming to this place for their frozen Margaritas. During happy hour? Even better! Happy hour is no longer happy though. They wanted to jump on the price gouging bandwagon, and increased their happy hour prices on the margaritas by 80%! That's outrageous. This is pretty close to being the best you can get in the Bronx, unfortunately now it comes with Manhattan prices. read more

Montezuma Mexican Restaurant - Delicious Margaritas, formerly at a fantastic price. - Mexican Near Me - Bronx, New York

I've been coming to this place for years,good music able to dance. The food was always good and the service was always nice and friendly. Food is great and the drinks are delicious. I always have a Margarita on the rocks, hubby drinks Pina Colada. For some reason his drink was not as good as before, it was watery and did not have the thickness. It was really disappointed. But his dish made up for it. We always return. read more

I'm there for the golden margaritas! In all seriousness this review solely reflect that beverage and the service as I only had that drink. The golden margaritas are well priced and very strong, my friends and I are large people and aren't lightweights by any metric. Two of these golden margaritas will get you done. read more

Sat at bar for lunch specials. A cockroach crawled out of the menu and ran atop the bar. We waved the bartender over and pointed to the still very present cockroach. The bartender looked unsurprised and a bit annoyed. Grab a rag to whip the roach out of sight onto the floor of the bar. Nope not going back til that clean up!! read more

Happy Hour after work Thursday with a fellow co-worker was chilling time. We both desired cold drinks since it was a hot day. Service is mediocre as it was difficult to flag a waitress or hostess to be seated. We preferred to be seated at a table- not at the bar. Boisterously loud music is blaring in the background. This business was rather empty on a Thursday night. The server check-in on us inquiring our drink names and how we were enjoying ourselves. I did not request for a second serving, but low and behold minutes later arrived a second Raspberry Peach Margarita for me but I refused and returned it. No comment on food as we did not ordered any. Raspberry Peach Margarita $6.25 It was very white foamy appearance, not a pure red color. I tasted mostly foam. Frozen Margarita $5.00 This drink was refreshing which I should have ordered without any flavoring. My co-worker enjoyed it very much. read more

First time for me here, the place is ok. They even have live music on weekends the food was ok. My only problem with this place is that they allow people to smoke hookah when they are plenty of family with kids around. I am not sure I will be coming here again because I have a daughter and she is asthmatic if I will be the owner of this place I will make a separate close-room for people who wants to kill themself smoking that crap.. besides that not too bad to spend some time with friends and family.. read more

Tony from the Bronx here . Let's talk about Montezuma Mexican Restaurant on Kingsbridge Ave Bronx. I've going there on and off their since 1989. It's kinda small then they expanded then went back to the original set up. I missed the cave like atmosphere. The food is good. The problem I really have with them is the Hook-a. And the customers get stupid and they are young . Either send that hookah crap in a separate room . Or do away with it. Big turn off when young kid see this . My teen daughter thought they were smoking weed. SMH.... it changed for the worse. read more

My family and I welcomed the new year 2024 at Montezuma Mexica Restaurant. The ambiance was great.

Montezuma, a well known Mexican restaurant in the Kingsbridge area of the Bronx! I can see why...because I rarely find good mexican restaurants in this borough. In all my experience, Montezuma has he BEST salsa I've ever tasted. The acidity and spice is very refreshing. It's really good. FREE with a basket of tortilla chips. The guacamole looked hardy, chunky yet creamy. The taste was soft and smooth. Also good for $5.95. I ordered the burrito and tamale combo which comes with rice and refried beans. I was a lil disappointed with the burrito even though the beef was nicely seasoned and saucy. I was expecting more not only in size but also in ingredients. The tamale also had subtle flavor, a little bit dry though. Rice and beans are decent. $9.99 Mango frozen margarita. Delicious. They really hook up their mixed drinks. $9.00 Pros: Good drinks Good salsa A lot of food Fast friendly service Good music Close to 4/D trains Cons: Parking is hell to find Bit pricy for Mexican food. C'mon now 2 bucks for sour cream Restaurant is dark inside read more

Food was edible but never very tasty. Service should of been better since we arrived early and the place was pretty empty considering. Asked to add onions to an order that wasn't done. Had to almost tackle the waiter for assistance. I also do not like having to ask for water. I consider water a bare minimum. My wife and her family frequent here often. I'm hoping this was an isolated experience. read more

I've only been here 1x in the evening. It was 4 of us in my party, we had reservations for 8 pm and still had to wait an hr. So we got seated at 9 pm. It was crowded and there was too many people. I know if the Fire department came in they've would of gotten a summon for over crowding. The staff are okay they've seemed bothered. So when we get seated we waited another 15 minutes for a waiter to come to us, we just order water with lemon. Mind you we had no menus nor did she. She said she was going to bring us a menu but never did. The water was given to us 5 minutes later n the menu we got it from the bar!! The food thankfully was good and the wait wasn't so bad 25minutes it took. The drinks to me were water down. I suggest for the owner of this establishment not to have so many people at one time. Therefore the staff wouldn't be such in bitchy mood!! I will try this place again because the food was good but I will come in earlier next time. read more

So I went here for lunch while in the Bronx for work. One of the Scientist i work with loves this place and has been raving that a co-worker and I needed to try it. He was right! The place had a very impressive bar with the exception of a lack of taps. The lunch specials were only $5! I had the tamale and I was very content. We also got salsa and chips for the table, a very nice touch espcially for the price. I would 100% come back here the next time I'm in the area for work. read more

Couldn't have asked for a better"fresh" Tex mex meal and good -good pomegranate martinis, and ice cold Corona than what we shared and had at Montezumas in the Bronx. It was my first time at establishment, but definitely won't be my last. Matter of fact can't wait to go back! And it was EXTREMELY affordable. Best of all also..... there were leftovers with the next day fulfilled my hunger and appetite. So what ya waiting for and just GO! Angel :) Merry Christmas read more

Met up with friends at this location and was pleasantly surprised by the service, drinks food and overall experience. Despite the nightmare parking situation, it seems to be well frequented. It was crowded as any neighborhood bar should be on a Friday evening. Drinks came fast, and the server was accommodating. For the most part, my tablemates seemed ok with their food definitely nothing special. Montezumba seems to be a place for drinks and laughs with friends and I'm good with that. read more

Well, I was certainly pleasantly surprised when I visited this place. The Ambiance, the food, the cocktails (WOOHOO!!!), the service, the music... everything was fantastic! The only reason it didn't give them 5 stars was because the Mole was not traditional. It was very good but not traditional. I can't wait to explore more drinks and more of the food. read more

Unfortunately I went here last night with my family and we had the most unpleasant experience ever. Not only was my churrasco bland but the place was too dark, unfortunately that wasn't the worst part. We were seated next to the DJ so it was loud and hard for us to hear. That is still not the worst part, the DJ staff kept smoking hookah literally next to our baby we had to complaint various times before we asked for the manager, they stopped smoking only momentarily before continuing to start smoking again up until we left the restaurant. The staff had absolutely no respect for us or our baby. read more

I went to this restaurant last night with my husband, we were not able to talk because the music was to loud but I was looking for something like that, well the Mexican food was not good the steak was yummy, the famous strawberry margaritas barely have tequila, I drank 5 like nothing another women next table was complaining about the lack of tequila on it. Food it's quite expensive, my chips never arrived until I asked for it. The ambiance its good for like a partyishh night. I will recommend this place for hang out and listening to music while drinking. read more

I always stop by for their happy hour. The bartenders are super friendly and attentive. I love their frozen passion fruit margarita and their veggie burrito. My fiancé loves their steak quesadillas. Fun, affordable, and tasty! Must try if you are in the neighborhood. read more

This is my favorite place for drinks, food, live music and hookah. Service is good, food is good, drinks are good. The music is a little bit to loud, I think they should get a new sound system. I like the place because they don't rush you.(of course if you are consuming) I like the live music read more

August 27 2020 as my boyfriend and I went out for late lunch we order guacamole chip and drinks we Experience the most horrible moment we found a roach rapped in hair after years being a loyal customer there respond was how can we make it better and give your a replacement plate how insulting this can be who would want to continue to eat anything now this is a frustration this has us With no desire to eat everything give us nausea so for this now we have to be extra careful when eating out which will be something we won't be doing ! read more

Ive been going to this spot since i can remember the stuffed clams with cab meat is to die for and the churrasco never fails not to mention the quesadillas is a good "safe" plate to have! The only reason i Don't give this spot a 5 is that i've never seen an upgrade on the restaurant itself read more

I've come to this restaurant a few times now. The food is pleasantly delicious, and I've always enjoyed my meals. They have a decent happy hour. Be warned, the drinks are very strong. Service can be a bit iffy - the most recent time I was here, our order wasn't taken for about 20 minutes and the wait time for food was a bit long (probably a half hour or more). Also if you have sensitive hearing, try to avoid sitting towards the back of the restaurant. We were sat next to the speakers and they were obnoxiously loud. read more

I always order Uber eats. Tonight I went in to put in an order to go and the wait was UNREAL. Over an hour waiting. While the food is great the service tonight was disgraceful. If you cannot handle take out orders DO NOT TAKE THEM. The cashier was nice but all the other waitresses acted clueless as to who the manager was when I asked. Learn how to run your business. read more

Next time you go to Montezuma make sure don't ask for glass of water, because you will be surprised what you can find. My wife and I when there to have dinner and a couple of drinks as that's one of our favorite local bars. We have a great time but after I asked for another glass of water and I noticed something inside my glass and I used my phone light to see what it was and there was a bug (cockroach) on my glass of water and I told one of the bartenders and he really didn't care that much as he just said oh ok ! and changed the glass of water. Unbelievable but so true! read more

ONLY GOOD FOR DRINKS DURING HAPPY HOUR, IF THAT! I live near this restaurant and for the area it is in (the slums) it is HIGHLY overpriced! You're better off going somewhere in downtown manhattan if you're willing to spend a good amount of money-that way you'll get good food, drinks and be in a nicer/safer area. This last time I went, my sister and I had to flag down the waiter and host each time we wanted another drink or any service at all. The waiter didn't attend to us the way he was supposed to. It is also very dark, so I wouldn't go in a large group, it's more for an intimate setting yet the music is extremely loud so it's hard to hear. I would say it's a good place to bring your spouse if you're trying not to hear them all night but then again, it's not worth the money. The food is good, but you can find good food anywhere for better prices and service. read more

The food is good but definitely over priced for the location. The service was great, very attentive and intuitive. The food was great. We all enjoyed our choices and were satisfied by the portions. They have great presentation and it all felt like a treat! their salsa was noticeably good! The ambiance was torturous. We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday, finding parking meant our party didn't all sit down until almost 7pm. The lights were dimmed so badly by the time we were ready to order that we had to ask them to raise them. That helped but they were turned down again in the middle of our meal. Glad we were able to see what we were eating early on. Then 9pm rolled around and a huge screen descended upon us. A dj began pumping out music so loud that we could no longer communicate comfortably. This was quickly followed by hookah smoking which was a huge turn off. It was like traveling back to 1999 when smoking was allowed and we went to shady establishments. Sadly we were no longer young and stupid so didn't enjoy choking on smoke while trying to enjoy margaritas and grown conversation. Overall this place has become a cliche people with tight jeans fill its seats to inhale toxic fumes while paying way too much for their meal. I hope they turn back the hands of time and refocus on serving good food for non smoking people. read more

Went April 9th around 7pm Eliana was our server, very niceee. Had the burritoCarb steak .enjoyed every bite;) mojito mango was very good. They have happy hour from 3-8pm. Sunday brunch from 11:30-4pm. Mandatory 15% tip included for 5or more ppl. Maggy is also a great team player. read more

I'd say this place Is super overpriced for The Bronx.. I mean, c'mon, I'm in the middle of the hood where I can easily get mugged or shot, I'm not in Times Square for heaven's sake.. I really like their happy hour (3pm to 8pm 1/2 priced drinks) as well as their flavored margarita selection (mango, coconut, passion fruit, & strawberry).. And their food Is pretty dope as well.. I had a quesadilla plate which came with rice & beans for under $15.00.. My only complaint Is that they did not want to accept my restaurant.com voucher.. Manager said something about It can only be used on Fridays & Saturdays (when the food & drinks are through the roof in terms of price) and he didn't want to redeem It.. I'd say that was a super turn-off since on restaurant.com It didn't mention any such restrictions.. read more

Came here after work for a drink......Angie made a slamming coconut margarita on the rocks....service was quick at the bar....bathroom is very clean....Latin music plays in the background. Large screen is in the back of the restaurant .... I don't like the dim lighting tho. If your having a drink by your lonesome you won't feel out of place. People are friendly. It's a nice place to woohsah.......after a stressful day at work. Happy Hour drinks are from 3-8.....,, drinks range between 5-7 dollars. read more
