Montezuma's Restaurant Parkdale - Chicken Barrito

Service was very slow for a night that wasn't overly busy. The beef taco was nice and would happily…read moreorder it again and recommend it, but the chicken burrito was something else, there was barely any chicken in it - it was basically just potato and pesto on a whole plate of rice.

Is there a rule book that a lot of restaurants use that states "Mexican = tacky"? Something about…read morehanging puppets, sombreros, flags, ponchos and maracas on every blank bit of wall? I've been to Mexico, it doesn't look like this! There are plenty of Mexican places that don't do this of course, unfortunately Montezuma's isn't one of them. We came here for a friend's birthday and had a table of twelve. Our table barely even fit into the restaurant and a couple of times people had to get up out of their seats just to let people get by us. If a table near ours was being attended to by a waitress you couldn't get to your seat. Someone was going to be a little late, which seemed to annoy the staff off immensely. There were spare tables, so it wasn't like we were taking up seats by them being late, but several times they tried to come over and take their seats away, despite them only being a few minutes late. Not that there was actually comfortable space around our tables for twelve anyway... The food came out quite quickly after we ordered, and as always, Leisha T's vegetarian meal was the very last to come out. A waiter actually had to ask if she'd ordered anything! I ordered some sort of taco combination, which was quite bland...I'm fairly certain there was chicken in there somewhere, but maybe not. Leisha T had a burrito that looked slopped onto the plate, just as bland as mine and mostly overcooked. The burrito was filled with some sort of indistinguishable vegetable, beans and rice. It was served with more beans and more rice on the side. It's a "family restaurant" so I weren't expecting a five star meal, but it was still quite disappointing and we won't be hurrying back.

Terrible food, even worse service. I know that it is a…read moretex-mex place and that the food is going to be in no way authentic Mexican but even for tex-mex food it is terrible. Fish tacos are just fish fingers, everything is served with pale looking beans and bright orange rice. The service is shocking too, had to wait for a whole table of 12 to get their mains even though we ordered first because we ordered an entré? Waitresses rude and food way to overpriced. There are much better places to eat in Aspendale so save your pennies and go anywhere else.

I have to preface this review by stating that I was born and raised in the US, in Phoenix Arizona,…read morewhich is on the border of Sonora Mexico. Phoenix has an abundance of amazing Mexican restaurants, so my standards are very high when it comes to Mexican food...and sadly Nachos fails to meet those standards, as far as the food is concerned. We had the nachos for an entree, I had the fish tacos and my wife had the taco combo. Unfortunately all I can give a pass to was the rice that accompanied our mains. The rice was well prepared, tasty and authentic in flavour. I won't pile on regarding the rest, as none of it was bad per se, it just wasn't real Mexican food. I do compliment them on their variety of Mexican beer and Tequila. Do yourself a favour and pass on the Corona, only penche turistas drink Corona. Grab yourself a Pacifico, a Tecate, or better yet a Negra Modelo. If you haven't experienced authentic Mexican food before, then there's no reason you won't like Nachos Cantina. The food, atmosphere and service are all good. But if you've had real Mexican you may want to skip this place, as it will leave you wanting.
