Always looking for a good Mexican Food Restaurant. Asked some locals since we were just in town for 24 hours. This was her top recommendation - so we tried it. Not that impressive from the outside, but we're used to that as have found some of the best dives, have the best food. Just look at the parking lot at meal time! With that said, it was a clean place with lots of colors. Our server was attentive and the chips and salsa were fresh and got me excited it might be a good dinner! We ordered steak only fajitas, but you could do lots of combination on their menu. Fajitas were very tasty. We are kind of snobs about our Mexican food- having lived in CA! The carne asada steak was flavorful and I loved the way their onions, peppers and even tomatoes were cut up. Not left really big, with a lot of cutting needed to fit in a tortilla. Perfect blend of all the flavors and spices. We added some great salsa, and some queso to it and the order was big enough for us to share with even some left over. I hardly give 5 stars but this was 4+. Not too expensive - the only thing is and they don't try to hide it but no alcohol is served here. So if you want a Margarita, go somewhere else. read more

They don't sell alcohol, its BYOB. Service is super fast. Food was great, good portions too. The churros are the best you will ever have! I would almost go there just for that! They don't have too many tables, we had an early dinner and left at around 6:15pm on a Monday and they were pretty much full. We were a little disappointed about them not having alcohol, but pleased when we found out later on that we can bring our own. Prices are reasonable. We will certainly be back. read more

If you need a Mecican food fix in Gettysburg, Montezuma is a great spot! They have a large menu and their food is delicious at reasonable prices. The guacamole, salsa, fajitas, and street tacos were all wonderful. The only thing to be aware of is that they don't have alcohol if that is important to you. read more

Food was excellent and great value for the price. Will definitely be back. Would like to sit outside next time!

I called to place a pickup order, but the customer service was highly unprofessional. While I was giving the employee my name, she stopped responding and hung up on me. I immediately called back to finish my order and let her know we were disconnected. Instead of assisting me, she asked for my last name and hung up on me a second time. Being hung up on twice while simply trying to place an order shows a complete lack of basic customer service skills. I will not be ordering from this establishment again. read more

Called to order takeout and the woman on the phone kept hanging up. It was not a bad connection and was definitely intentional. Not sure what happened because we made it through most of the call and she would hang up every time I tried to say my name. read more

Miss your old receipe for chilli rellanos. Today it was wrapped in what I thought were heavy pancakes. The cheese was no longer stuffed in the chilli but dumped over the pancake chilli w a red sauce. The chilli was soft not tasty. It should have been the star! It should have been a mild hot pepper these had no heat. Hope u return to your old receipe. read more

My taco salad was nothing but a soggy mess not one part of the shell had crisp. The rice was just ok and the chips were stale. I did like the cheese dip though read more

Solid four star choice for delicious burritos. We had the massive California steak burrito and the Azteca chicken burrito. Each was covered by delicious sauces. The free chips and salsa were also very good. No liquor served and the interior could use a little updating. read more

I can't believe people think this is Mexican food! If you like disgusting store bought cheese stuffed into everything then this place is for you! My Chile relleno wasn't even authentic, it was wrapped in a tortilla and not deep friend like a traditional cooked one. My husband ordered the fajita taco salad and it was basically soup. He couldn't even eat it all! The rice was flavorless, kids chicken nuggets came with only 2 small ones... please skip this place! read more

The waitress was this side of overly attentive. I think she just didn't want to miss anything. The menu is extensive, though it mostly offers variations of the same ingredients combined in different ways- this IS Mexican food, after all. My biggest concern, however, was how quickly our meals came out. The plates were extremely hot, which left me questioning the preparation methods. Were the dishes microwaved, kept under heat lamps, or quickly reheated in an oven? When I cook a fresh meal at home, the food is hot but the edges aren't crisped and the plate certainly isn't scorching. Something about the meal prep didn't feel fresh, and overall the experience left me uneasy. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be returning. read more

I finished 2 of my 3 historical places, and it was definitely time for food. As always, I count in Yelp to guide me to the best places and it didn't disappoint. I ordered online and that was the only glitch. It didn't ask for payment info. The food wasn't ready when I arrived, and it missed one item. But I certainly enjoyed the part I did get! I base my yummy or not on carnitas, and the burrito I got had delicious chunks of perfectly seasoned pork. And plenty of them! Also some tasty filling with jalapeño bits that have ita nice kick. The rice was totally bland and plain, but I put on the small cup of salsa, which made it much better. The decor is cute, the service friendly, and the price was great. read more

The workers were pointing and laughing at my sister while we were eating but the food was ok

Worst "Mexican" I've had. We ordered "fajita salads" that were described as having "melted cheese." The other ingredients were swimming in some watery yellow sauce like it was a soup. It tasted awful. It was nothing like the description or any fajita salad I've had at other restaurants. I couldn't even eat half. The other two people in my group who ordered this dish felt the same and one of those two is VERY easy to please when it comes to food. Huge disappointment. read more

Yummy, solid mexican food! Has classic american offerings and more authentic. Appears to only have Margaritas one day a week, which was something of note for us out of towners. Out of what we ordered the tacos definitely stood out, while my burrito was more standard. But still, all excellent and a unique offering for Gettysburg! Definitely worth it if you're hoping for something other than the influx of generic american or brewpubs - this was unique and good! read more

**VEGAN Review** I went here because of all the positive reviews. Maybe asking for vegan food threw off the cook? I had fajitas and it was too heavily salted. The salsa was very mediocre. I didn't finish my meal. I like Mexican food, but not from here. read more

This is a dual review as my wife did not enjoy her meal but I loved mine. In the door we found the restaurant clean and very cozy. The staff was very friendly and the menu had great choices with all the favorites. We were greeted with tortilla chips and salsa which was good, not awesome but good. My wife ordered The Chimichanga Fried. She said what meat was in it had decent flavor but everything was so soggy it was, in her words, "A hot mess." The meal came with Guacamole and other stuff but it was topped with this very thin cheese sauce that just made everything soup. It didn't even look appealing. (See picture) I ordered The Steak Buritto Azteka stuffed with steak & onions topped with a Mole Sauce and sour cream (see picture) which was absolutely wonderfull. The steak was a little tough but doable but the mole sauce was incredible. We will definitely come back read more

First off the food was terrible, the guacamole was watery, the fajita vegetables wilted, and we had several flies landing on our food throughout dinner. The server asked me 5 different times in 3 minutes if I was ready to order and we had just picked up our menus. during dinner water had dripped onto my daughters shoulder and we both looked up to see a lot of the ceiling tiles had significant water damage. Montezuma used to be a favorite spot, sad to see things change this drastically read more

Use to live in Gettysburg and this was one of my favorite date night spots. Best Mexican food in the area. Big portions and the prices are decent. Had lunch here today for the first time in over 12 years. Didn't give 5 stars because they don't give you rice and beans with every dish like they use to. Still great service, still great food, still good prices. read more

We have dined here (in Gettysburg location) a couple of time before Covid and have ordered take out dinners here about a dozen times since Covid. Menu is varied, service is good, and ambiance for dining in is nice. Our favorites are the fajitas. We especially like the chicken and shrimp fajitas which are served with generous helpings of refried beans and Mexican fried rice. Prices are moderate.....the Special Montezuma for Two (Shrimp, steak, chicken and chorizo with bell peppers, tomatoes and onions) is a good deal at $33.20 I would have rated five stars if the Steak Fajitas were better....but we have found the steak to be tough, dry and over cooked. However the shrimp and chicken fajitas are excellent. Don't have any photos but will add some the next time we order take out read more

Granted I've only tried one thing on the menu but this is one of my top 5 Mexican restaurants in the US. This place is great!!! I've worked in Mexico, lived near the border for most of my life, and traveled a bunch so as a gringa, I know what I'm talking about when I say this place has amazing authentic flavor. I was shocked but delighted to find it in Gettysburg, PA. I had the Enchiladas Aztecas with both sauces. I am a lover of mole but I also think chipotle flavor is one of the best ever (as long as it's not too hot). I couldn't decide on which sauce I wanted so I asked for both. So glad I did that. I still can't decide. My father had the Enchiladas Supremas (I think that's what they were called) and enjoyed his immensely too. Looking forward to trying more dishes next time I visit. read more

I'm from Az, didn't expect yummy salsa and Mexican food in Gettysburg!! Came in Saturday at 12:30. Place was busy, but the staff took excellent care of us. Drinks stayed full! Chips/queso and salsa were great! Had the lunch fajitas and the lunch carnitas. Carnitas were cooked to perfection!! Crunchy and flavorful. The fajitas were the perfect amount! Not too much food. The meat was well seasoned and not huge pieces. The beans were very good!! Highly recommend!!! read more

We had driven by this restaurant many times and it was always packed. I checked the yelp reviews and spoke to a couple locals who recommended the food. We went on a Monday evening around 6 and like always it was packed. The parking lot is small, but there is some street parking. It is basically what you would expect walking into a Mexican restaurant. The decor is nothing special but the restaurant is clean and bigger inside than it looks. They also have some outdoor seating depending on the weather. There is no alcohol for sale but you may bring your own. We were seated quickly (I thought there would be a wait). They give each table free chips and homemade salsa which is very tasty. We ordered our drinks a coke and iced tea. For dinner I ordered the burrito Cancun with steak which was delicious. The steak was seasoned so well and just fell apart in my mouth. It also has chorizo and is topped with a tasty cheese sauce and pick de gallo with a generous amount of rice as a side. The chorizo gives a nice little kick to the burrito with the cheese sauce giving a rich smooth cooling effect. My wife ordered Enchiladas supremas and loved them. We both shared and loved every thing we ate. Our server was fantastic and very friendly while having like 10 tables at once. It's not often we go out to dinner spend $40 and get incredible food and service. If your in the area definitely stop by and get a great meal. read more

DO NOT go to this Montezumas in Gettysburg ! I ordered queso and chips to go for my family, we got home and ate a little less than half and found a bug/roach in the queso! Called and informed them and the woman on the phone was laughing when explaining to her manager(she must've thought she was on hold). They stated that they could replace it with something else lol ..Absolutely not !!!! Terrible customer service and they have BUGS in the food ! 0 STARS !! read more

A friend wanted to check out Gettysburg and later grab a bite to eat. I've been a few times, but never ate anywhere in the area so we looked to see what our options were on a Sunday night. We decided that Mexican sounded good so we headed to Montezuma. There was plenty of parking as they have their own lot. We were greeted instantly and sat at a booth that was roomy for just the two of us. My buddy wanted a margherita and learned quick they did not serve alcohol. That's no issue with me cause I don't drink, but just an FYI if you do. Our server was friendly and attentive. We always had water refills and were checked in to see if we needed anything. I ordered a shrimp burrito and a side of queso for the complimentary tortilla chips. The chips came out warm which I like. The salsa was good, although I do prefer a medium or hot option. It was very mild so if spicey isn't your thing you'll be ok. The food came out quick and was hot! I really enjoyed my shrimp burrito. Shrimp were seasoned well and I didn't find anything overpowering. I like how they add some queso atop the burrito. I requested no sour cream which they left off. That's actually a big plus cause I make that request at other places and they still put it on the plate. The portions are very big and you'll leave feeling full! Overall, I thought Montezuma was a good spot with welcoming and friendly staff. I'd return if in that part of town and I'm craving Mexican! read more

We went to Montezuma today and we had an awful experience. The waitress was nice, but the food was subpar to say the least. I ordered the cheese enchiladas with enchilada sauce and it was just a plate of lettuce (a massive amount) and cheese sopping with enchilada sauce and sour cream smeared on it. I couldn't even see the enchiladas under it. It wasn't seasoned nor proportioned well. The worst part was when we ordered the Del Mar Tacos. They were advertised as being filled with crab, shrimp, and scallops. When they brought them out, the tacos had frozen shrimp and scallops. Something was very off with the scallops. It was also filled with rubbery imitation crab meat. We even asked for the menu again to check and see if it said it was imitation crab meat, but it said it was actual crab meat. When we went up to check out, we showed the manager (?) the menu and told her that we got imitation crab meat. All she said was "okay". I said if you're going to be giving imitation crab meat and scallops like that, you should probably label it as imitation crab meat. I told her we were charge full price for crab meat. Then all she said was "okay, bye". It is what it is, but both of us felt extremely sick afterwards. If you do go which I highly recommend you don't, don't get anything with seafood. read more

Stopped in for lunch and everything looked great and I had a hard time deciding. The food was amazing, the chips were fresh and hot and the salsa had a great taste. Service was great and friendly. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because the waitress didn't write down our order and she got it wrong. It was ok because what I got was one of the items I was trying to decide between. But I dislike when they don't write down the order, too much of an option for error. My fajita salad that I ended up with was amazing, but it wasn't what I ordered. read more

This restaurant appears to have been a taco Viva or Taco Bell in a prior life. The staff understands both Spanish and English and the food has good portions as well as reasonably good taste. It seems to cater to the college crowd. I was disappointed that I could not substitute for some of the items I did not wish to eat, But my server told me he was unable to make any changes. I ask him in both Spanish and English and he answered me they same way. read more

The food came out lightning fast, and our waitress was amazing! It is BYOB if you want a drink. I would have gave this place five stars, but their vents in ceiling were dripping down condensation. Also, I think their ceiling tiles all need replaced (looked dingy) to give it a fresher place to dine. I would go back despite that one star missing! ;) read more
