We ate at Montezuma because of the reference from local folks. Their fajita for two were sizzling hot and had great flavor. Couldn't ask for faster service.

Pleasantly surprised by the good food in this unassuming, neighborhood Mexican restaurant. The service was great too. It's BYOB, which was a little disappointing, but it seems that's the case in other Mexican restaurants there. No matter - enjoyed it anyway.

Our food was okay...I've definitely had better Mexican food. The cheese on my spinach quesadilla tasted like a slice of white, American cheese...seriously?! I didn't eat most of itbecause of that. The rice? Where's the cumin? Bland. It's a BYOB/BYOW kinda thing and the wine glasses that were brought out to us looked dusty! There was poor lighting and the... More

This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food is some of the best Mexican I have had in PA, with dishes like you would find in a regular restaurant in Guadalajara, or Mexico City, or some other non-touristy Mexican urban center. I had a shrimp and vegetable dish that was great. My son had pork. The... More

Food is outstanding, isn't OVERLY spiced, priced right, served quickly, generous helpings, the staff courteous, and eager to make the experience memorable. Definately NOT a chain restaurant taste. Being in a college town, the alcohol-free atmosphere keeps it from being like a local bar, and relatively free from annoying and loud drunks. I believe it's a BYOB place, so it's... More

Very much enjoyed the salsa and chips at Montezuma, but have to say that my burrito was a bit on the bland side! The cheese sauce covering it was quite tasty, but the steak inside lacked any type of seasoning (which was easily solved by dumping on some of the very flavorful salsa!) Prices were pretty good, so overall just... More

This was perhaps the worst food I have ever eaten in a restaurant. Very dry, tasteless, and not even hot. No alcohol. Who ever heard of a Mexican restaurant without a margarita?! Go somewhere else. You won't be sorry.
