My wife and I thought we'd try the place out as it looked pretty authentic. Our food was poor however and we never went back. Sometimes a restaurateur needs to understand you might only get one chance. There was no one else in the place and this was probably the reason why I've seen more atmosphere at a wake, but... More

Ordinary Mexican restaurant - for better value, go to Zapata's. It is however, cheaper than Zapata's. More

This has got to be my favourite place to eat - the menu is huge! The margaritas are also the best in Adelaide especially the strawberry ones!! The food is always amazing - so tasty and served very hot. Can't go past this place. The prices have gone up recently but still worth it. More

This restaurant has been around for a while. Whilst its known for average semi-authentic menu, nothing much has changed over the years. If you enjoy a changing menu and dining environment then visit only once in 10 years. Would like to see a makeover of both the dining experience and the menu. Trapped in the 90's More

the food was awful, I found a hair in my guacamole, the service was terrible, we had to go and order drinks ourselves from the bar and they closed the kitchen at 9 pm, so we couldn't even have desserts! The waitress there was very rude too. The only good thing was that we didn't pay too much, but it... More

If you are used to REAL Mexican food in Mexico or in the US, be prepared for Mexican food in Australia -- which is, not great. However, Montezuma will provide a close enough alternative while not completely authentic, will satisfy your need for Mexican food temporarily (at least until your next visit to North America). More
