This is probably the best Mexican on the Gold Coast (though the competition is basically…read moreMontezumas/Aztecs). The chef has actually *been* to Mexico, and the food is great and seems quite authentic. The steak is huge and tasty, the share platters are probably too much for one person, but if you try really hard.... The decor isn't as overtly and insensitively Mexi-themed as other restaurants -- no sombreros or 'señor/señorita' toilet doors, but there's no escaping the fact that you're above a pretty average pub. The music has an occasional Mexican tune thrown in, but is mostly inoffensively middle of the road. This restaurant is a hidden gem, and worth finding.

In my never ending search for authentic mexican food in Australia, my wife & I decided to give C.M…read more a try. Being Mexican American I have very high expectations in the so called "mexican dishes" I've come across while visiting and unfortunately Oz has let me down once again. I ordered the nachos & my wife ordered the chicken burrito with rice/beans. My guacamole was brown & the nachos were dry. I mentioned to the waitress that my guac was brown & she explained that due to the mixing of salsa & black pepper, it turns color. I knew that was bull crap because no matter the method you prepare it, it should always be green & vibrant. My wife's burrito was boring & lacked the essentials to constitute it as a burrito (I.e. beans, sour cream, pico de gallo, guac etc). Well after $71 later we walked out of there very disappointed. I still have faith though that I will find a decent mexican restaurant.

But because I have a soft spot for nachos, I of course had to try it. The verdict? Not bad at all, quite good in fact. I ordered something call 'Rodeo Rainbow Dip' simply because it sounded fun. Really tasty combination of a number of dips including guacamole, chili con carne, cheese and few other things, served with corn chips. I also had a Quesadilla, which is basically a pancake stuffed with fillings. Not too bad, it was little too much pancake and not enough fillings. It was really tasty though. So in summary, excellent entrée, average main but fantastic service and I would go back.

Had a cocktail (strawberry daiquiri) was tasty, and started with the Aztec fries which were the bomb! I had the fajita, they were a bit stingy on the toppings. Ran out of lettuce by my third taco, and no pico de gallo which I find odd. I had the BBQ option and it tasted like the meat was cooked in plain BBQ sauce, which was sickly sweet and a bit overwhelming. Might try the other flavour next time, or I might try the tacos instead. My husband had the chicken burrito which he said was good. Staff were attentive, and they have several vegan options including dessert which is fantastic! I didn't get to try the vegan dessert as I was too full, but next time. Will go again but probably won't get the fajita again. Extensive menu, so lots of options. Parking was a bit of an issue but we drove around the carpark until we found one. I don't know why other Yelp reviewers were really unhappy here, it definitely wasn't bad, they could just improve a little.

It's a good idea to book a table as this Montes gets booked up. They also provide takeaway which I often go for. The only downside with takeaway is that any menu item that comes with a salad, they make you pay for a separate side salad as well as they don't provide salad with there meals!?! They need to jump on the internet and fix up there takeaway menu. The staff seem nice. I've only dined in once and it took 40 minutes for them just to take our order which was very disappointing. They do all the favourites like enchiladas, burritos, tacos, taquitos, tostadas, nachos and more! A lot of people say these establishments are proper Mexican but this is the Mexican I know and love and it's pretty good!
