This is a great place to eat. Lots of locals and everyone else go there. The salsa does have a bite to it. If you like mild just ask they mild as well. They don't serve alcohol. It's a great place to take the family.

My husband had a stuffed burrito . It’s carne guisada. He loved it. Great coffee! Pancakes two thumbs up!! We enjoy the food all the time!!! Their hot sauce is so hot and tasty!!

I've always liked eating at this place. Love it more when the whole family gets together. It was family night and Rudy was awesome at accommodating us in the back room. We are a big family and sometimes we get separated but we were all seating together. Thanks alot for your service everyone treated us very well.

Hands down best Mexican food in town! Hottest hot sauce and best tasting as well - this place is always packed - customer service is always the best. Me and my family will keep coming back. If you haven’t tried Montelongo’s you’re missing out!

Hands down the best Tex-Mex in Lubbock! Their smothered burrito is the best I’ve ever had. It has a delicious pork filling, a tender, favorable wrap, and a lovely, generous melted cheese topping. There is a slightly acidic, tart undercurrent which I find delicious. It’s also featured as a discount lunch special with a drink one day a week (I’m not saying what day, lol). The refried beans and Spanish rice are good too. Their chili rellenos are excellent, as are the chicken enchiladas. On Fridays they have Pozole, with hominy, which is so good! The chips are kind of a course, corn type which I really like. The salsa is pretty hot for Lubbock, but matches the cuisine perfectly. Place is always busy at lunch but you never have to wait long to be seated. I think management has made a successful effort to improve service lately; always competent and friendly. I highly recommend Montelongo’s Mexican Restaurant.

The best tasting mexican food! Great service. Update from 6 years ago. I came here again and it didn't even come close to being as good as it was when the last time I was here. I think someone else cooked today that has no business in the kitchen.

Tommy Shelton

Our family were there Friday the 29 of January. We were enjoying our meal until this group of people were seated at the table by us. The problem were not the people but there dog. It was not a service dog which would have been fine. The dog was constantly shaking it self off we love animals but there's a place and time for everything. Dog should not have been let inn the restaurant.

GREAT food! Chips, salsa and guacamole were all very good. Barbacoa tacos were absolutely delicious. The night we went, there was a singer performing while we ate and it provided a very lively atmosphere. Will definitely be going again!

Nancy Reyes, agent

The food was delicious! The only thing that I was not pleased with was the salsa. It was extremely hot. I love to enjoy chips and salsa while I wait for my meal, but we were unable to since we all burned our tongue with the first taste. Other than that, we all enjoyed our meals and the service.

The prices are reasonable and the customer service amazing. As we were eating we were checked on constantly and our drink never even got half way empty! As soon as the chips and salsa are gone they ask if you want more. Our food came out hot and exactly like we ordered. It is like homemade food without making it! We got very full on the portions. My family goes at least 2-5 times a month.

Nice Mexican food, but their chips were extremely hard, easy to break your teeth. Besides that everything was good.

C
Candi Timmons

Came in for some to go food (feeding 8 people). We bought 3 lbs of barbacoa, a medium menudo and a medium queso. The lady at the register was really nice and any staff that passed us had a smile! Food came out in less than 10 mins. Everything was great and I have to give credit where credit is due, we are hot sauce snobs and they most definitely passed the taste and heat test 🥵🤌🏽🔥 !!

This little place pumps out some big-time food! They have arguably some of the best hot sauce in town. The plates are extremely affordable and full. This is the perfect place for a quick bite with associates or to bring the family for a hearty treat that won't break the bank!

J
Jessie flores

For real Mexican food this is the place go. Nothing better then authentic Mexican food with some good old mexican music playing in the background. The service was excellent. Every 5 to 10 minutes they would ask if everything was good and if we needed anything. Thanks guys

Mary Renouf

We were so hungry after our flight that we ordered tacos, nachos, burrito meal and sopapillas and it was all amazing. The price was really a good value for the quality and amount of food. They make the best salsa!!! The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Still craving it!

veronica torres

I am usually very leery about going to Mexican restaurants due to how authentic their food is. I was very pleased with the food and the service. The food was amazing and the service was exceptional!!! These employees went above and beyond to make sure that every single customer in that restaurant was very satisfied. I would absolutely go back. In fact we even decided to order food to take home after our meal. I would just like to say that you could tell these employees really took their job to heart. I loved this place!

snowtez1962

The food was amazing. I got a chance to meet the owner and told him the food reminded me of my mom's cooking. It was so good we got some to go after eating at the restaurant. For good authentic mexican food, this place is a must stop.

Kerry “KC” C

This place is always very consistent and good as we have been coming here a long time. Although my family and I did have a weird experience when they had a mariachi band playing. Not good in a small space with no carpet. I felt like the horns were playing directly in my ear. Their food taste fresh and homemade. Good mom and pop place!

krista wealick

This place is I honestly think the next Mexican food I have ever had (except in Mexico...)! It was a fluke that we found this place, but we are certainly glad we did! It was started by the grandmother and passed down through generations. The food is excellent! (Watch out of you don’t like spicy salsa.... they do have a mild one upon request) But the food is amazing! The staff is so friendly!!! Not one single complaint about this restaurant!!!

R
Ryan Robinson

If you’re looking for real Mexican food, this is the place. Delicious food and great service. Robert is a great guy and super down to earth. Always takes good care of us and the salsa is spicy and tamales are on point. Coming back for that Carne Guisada!! lol

B
Ben Emmert-Aronson

This place is awesome! The staff were super friendly and on the ball, made me feel welcomed and cared for even though I'm just passing through. The chips are some of the best I've had, and the atmosphere feels like everyone's family. The table next to me pulled me right into their conversation. Grandma was saying "You couldn't pay me to get a tattoo! I saw this Navy man with a big destroyer across his chest, 30 years later that ship was sinking!" Love it!

Alejandro Ramos

Authentic mexican food extremely affordable great quilty and flavor. Literally 3 to 4 different waiters mangers waitresses constantly asking if we needed anything but not to the point you couldn't enjoy the food or the live mariachis will go back again and again

Use to eat here often years ago was back in Lubbock visiting and stop by food still just as good as it was 20 years ago. You fools that gave it bad reviews probably think that Uncle Julio's down there by the mall is great and yes I are there as well and it's trash food worse excuse for Mexican food ever...Montalongos best in Lubbock

F
Faye's Bourbon and Bad Decisions

Montelongo's remains one of Lubbock's best Mexican restaurants for a reason. I've been eating here for over a decade and the ingredients have always been good, the salsa consistently the right kind of hot, and the tamales something that goes home with me each time I visit. When you do things right you don't have to make a lot of changes. I'm thankful for the delicious consistency here.

This is a little local Mexican Food restaurant. It has been in Lubbock for many years. The food is good. The best plate is the #25. It has an enchilada, taco, chalupa, rice, and beans. They also have good breakfast burritos. They serve caldo and menudo. On Friday nights they have live music. It is a great place to bring the family and enjoy a meal together.

For a Lubbock Legend l, this place does not disappoint. From the greeting at the door, the welcome attitude at the register, to the smell of scratch made food, this place is amazing! The carne guisada reminded me of getting home after a long day of work and settling down with something comfortable. The best word to sum up my experience is Sabor, flavor to the core! You gotta visit and enjoy! Amazing experience! And you gotta love the waitresses checking on you to make sure your meal is it's best.

I haven’t been here in a while but felt like a meal from my child hood. My crispy taco , enchilada with beans and rice were on point . I’m usually a breakfast guy at this restaurant but mom and I decided to get an early dinner.. I asked for a crispy taco , beef enchilada , rice and beans .. I like that they do not over spice the food because I like adding salsa , salt and pepper on my own to make my meal how I like it. The restaurant was clean and atmosphere was calm and relaxing.. this place has been consistently good over the years. I’m giving 5 stars because it was a great experience from food to service. I could not find anything wrong with the visit.. the salsa was hotter than I remember but really good.. over the years if something was wrong they worked with me to make it right .. the cost for a dinner for 2 was 10 dollars less than the lunch we had earlier in the day at another local spot. So the value was on point too .. this place is not Ruth Chris so don’t set that expectation.. this is a mom and pop type Hispanic restaurant that makes good food no more no less

Be prepared for a different set-up. Go in, order and pay. Then, they give you a number to wait for your table. It was very busy when we went but the wait wasn't very long. Food came out almost immediately and was hot and delicious! Very much a family-run and family-friendly establishment.

Always decent food But please update your online menu prices. While I do like the occasional surprises; a pretty lady jumping out of a cake, and extra wing in my order or a bartender adding a free drink, I really don't like to be charged 33% higher that what is on the menu.

L
Laura Pedraza

Today was our first time at Montelongo's. The food was good and so was the overall price. I had a good waitress, except a second waitress came over and was a little rude. She should of stayed away from our table. But I enjoyed lunch out with the family, and will go again!

C
Christopher Halbrooks

A Lubbock classic. This restaurant fills up quickly for lunch so get here early. The food is great, the chips are thicker than I'd like but there are several dipping options. Definitely a good place for traditional Mexican food when in Lubbock.

R
Rodney Ringler

The food was GREAT! Taco and Tostada shells never got soggy and stayed crisp. Chili Reyano was the best I ever had. Chicken enchilada, generous and flavorful. Beans and rice perfect!

G
Gerene Wallace-Gordon

Just have to say good food but not the exceptionally great food it used to be. It used to be amazing a few years ago and the hot sauce was very unique and hot. The seasoning has changed. Definitely not the same as it used to be. We used to eat there often in the past. Especially when Texas Instruments was still in Lubbock. It's just not the same but it's still good. Just not the wow, tell everyone how great. I miss the old style yummy that it used to have. I'm sure with the passing of the old generation things change but I'm sad it's not as it used to be. I will still eat there but will miss the yummy that it used to be.

Some of the best, authentic Mexican food in town. The enchiladas are cheesy, the tacos are delicious, and the hot sauce is the homemade type you wish you could replicate.

Mary Benton

After this visit we are looking forward to working our way through the menu. We started with Item 1, the enchilada plate. Loved my cheese enchilada plate. The chicken in chicken enchiladas was a little dry. The hot sauce was too hot and I asked for a milder version. We combined the two and achieved the perfect heat level. The service was too notch and we loved the music. FYI - As we were leaving we saw that dine in closes at 6:00 pm.

I found this place by shear accident on Google maps. It carries a 4.3 rating as of the time I am writing this. The food was really good, and the atmosphere felt authentic. But what made this place for me was the staff. They were oh so polite and constantly checking on us. And.... and they even held the door for my wife. Now I ordered a 2 beef taco plate with rice and beans, and my wife ordered the guacamole salad. I will most definitely return.

The food is usually good here. I ordered breakfast eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon and beans. Every thing was delicious except for the watery beans. I LITERALLY poured them off my plate into a bowl. I had to go get my own napkins because waiter was busy and came to our table once after we ordered. I had to ask another waitress for a refill. Not going back.

A
Alfonso del Granado

The order taker at the front is generally not interested and uninformative, but the dining area staff are just wonderful. The food is passable, does not stand out either as good or bad, it’s just food. I do wish there was a better selection of taco meats, such as tongue, tripe, cesina, etc. — the selection is actually quite limited and the dishes all taste roughly the same, regardless of preparation.

A
Alex Luera

This place has been out of control since COVID. Hours were not adjusted back to normal and prices have gone through the roof. They nickel and dime you on every single thing and even charge for cilantro/onion regardless of if you have purchased an entree or not. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else like Chelo’s or Jalisco’s for better food and better prices.

W
Wade Shrecengost

Great service! Food was okay with seemingly smaller portions than normal. Sweet tea seemed weak, even with no ice. I would go back, but only after the dining room reopens.

This was hard giving a 3 star rating to. The service and atmosphere was awesome. My drink didn’t ever go empty, and they continuously check on you and make sure you’re alright and don’t need anything else. It’s a lively enough place, people were talking and laughing. The food just really isn’t the best. It’s alright if youre looking for a quick bite. But you’re not getting authentic flavorful food. I’m going back to try something else but I had the chicken enchiladas and they were mid at best. The rice and beans also weren’t that good and the salsa was ehh. I’m hoping I just got a bad plate and my next order is better

My 1st time here. I disliked that u have to stand in line to order your food and then go sit down. It took a good while before the food came out. I ordered huevo Ranchero and menudo... it was ok. The sauce on the eggs sucked and the beans had no flavor. The menudo was ok. 3 out of 5 stars for me.

It’s kind of cafeteria style you order when you get in then they bring the food and drinks to you. We found that the salsa was either extremely spicy or very plain nothing in between. I had number 9 …

I had to edit my review because I have had several bad experiences here and we probably won't be eating here anymore. We decided to try them again after a bad experience and a few months had passed. We went back today and they literally forgot our order. After 30 minutes had passed and other customers, after us, were getting their food, my husband asked, how much longer. She went to go check, came back and asked to see the reciept. Then went back and then came back to tell us, they were working on it. Still took about 10 minutes to get the food. Meanwhile the owner didn't even want to come near us, he knows my husband. Then they actually try to say they have to go in order and I told her, if that was true then why were other people getting their food before us, that ordered after us. It was not busy, we paid almost $40 for 2 of us, and again making excuses for their mistake. If you go here, I hope you have a better experience then we have had.

Food was meh. Chile relleno didn't sit well with the person who ordered it. The enchilada plate was like it was covered with Velveeta! The fajitas were ok. The meat was tasty, but it was very greasy and there was some weirdness in the veggies. Refried beans were ok as was rice. Salsa had a good flavor and the right amount of heat.

M
Monica Carrizales

Not once did a waiter come to ask if we needed anything. (Mental note to self 🤦🏻‍♀️don’t pay for food and add a tip beforehand) we ate then I had to find someone for a refill on my drink. I asked for salsa as well. Lady comes back with salsa and my drinks. My mom decided to just take her food home and asked for a Togo box. Lady snatched my salsa back and told me we couldn’t take salsa home. MAAM I’m a paying customer. First off she was taking her food home and I want my salsa for my food that I’m STILL eating. Please give my salsa back. She finally gave it back and said we still can’t put the salsa in our Togo box. No words lol the way she went about that was rude. Food was good but drink your drinks SLOWLY or go search for a waiter. And I guess don’t ask for more salsa 🤦🏻‍♀️😂🙄

Desirae S

Hadn’t eaten here in years! Decided on here because I wanted authentic Mexican breakfast. This choice was a flop. We had huevos rancheros with a side of ham. the ranchero sauce tasted like a can of diced tomatoes. Nothing had any flavor aside from the ham. I had to salt everything & that still hardly helped. The tortillas were almost transparent (I’m not exaggerating). The young lady who tended to us was sweet. The tea is about the only good take away from our visit.

R
Ruben Gonzales

This food used to be good. Customer service from the owner sucks he always sides with his employees. He lets dogs in the environment but still wears a mask. To me every customer counts and he lost one. Making me wait 30 min for my meal then another 5 min for my drinks because a young kid that works there likes flirting with the female employees

M
Mr Escamilla

The quality of food has gone down since at least the year 2000. Every year when I come back to visit, I'm hoping it would have changed but it hasn't. I will however say the staff is extremely friendly, it's fair pricing, and you get decent sized portions. Call ahead for take out orders, as they get busy during prime lunch hours.

I have been eating at this local favorite since my college days in 1983. My review is this, they charge one dollar for water. I just came to Lubbock to visit and I heard this and I thought surely t…

I don’t like that the make there own hours on Sunday. It could be open till 3 one day or 1:30 the next. Or next time it will be carry out only. We all like the cowboys but closing just to satisfied the manager to have his own party. I just stop going there and find another restaurants to eat.

Someone suggested we try this place for the Menudo. Boy, I don't know what they were thinking 🤔. It had no flavor and the caldo was so clear. I should've taken a picture, but it wasn't worth it. We decided to take it to go and had to stop and buy some Menudo Mix to fix it at home. We also ordered some barbacoa. It was a very good portion for the pound and price, but greasy. So far, Aranda's has the best Menudo in Lubbock, Texas.

The chips we got were stale. I ordered a smothered burrito & it was covered with weird goopy cheese. The tortilla was a soggy mess. The beans were from a can and the rice was obviously instant. The only good thing was the salsa. Such a disappointment!

3rd time my pickup order was wrong. I keep asking for one chicken enchilada plate and one cheese enchilada plate and I keep getting beef for some reason.....it's frustrating. This place used to taste really good when I was younger, but now the barbacoa is way to greasy and fatty, tortillas are soggy, and the rice is so bland there is no point in putting it into my body. I've tried looking away for several things because I've liked this place for so long, however, things just don't taste as great as they used to. One customer lost.

September 29th 2023..I’ve never been to a restaurant in all my years where your the first ones there party of two and served last after 6 tables. All we ordered was smothered burrito, enchilada plate, tamales, and a Quesadilla. A ticket of about 70 dollars and this how we were treated. I feel because it was a Black male with a Mexican female

I'm sorry but how long has lubbock kept this restaurant in business. And they have the audacity to charge $4.32 for a 32 oz fountain drink. Lubbock you're getting taken advantage of. I'll never be back.

This place used to be awesome but now I won't waste my time or money trying to eat here. They require a mask even if you are exempt and will not provide 1 for you unless you want to purchase it. I have a family of 7 meaning it's my 5 kids my husband and I and made a reservation for 7 and they refused to let us push the 2 tables together so that we could sit together as a family just like we do when eating at home. The worst part was that it was the owner that did all of this not he staff. His grandmother founded the place and now he's giving it a bad name and making it no longer a family place or where you feel welcome. If you want good food and service go to the Caboose on Ave Q.

Great place heard. I tried it today and man the menudo had an off fishy taste to it I barely took 1 bite and had to toss it I’ve tried many menudo places and not one has tasted like this. I never write reviews but this one I had to and I am honest the barbocoa was absolutely amazing 10/10 me and my family enjoyed it and had a great price for one pound

Highly disappointed. Ordered a barbacoa plate and asked if I could substitute rice and beans for eggs and was told that was okay. To my surprise, I was charged $4 for two eggs. I didn't make a big deal about it, hoping the food would compensate for the price. When my food arrived, the barbacoa was dry and reheated and had absolutely no flavor. None. The chips were stale and smelt like they had been from days before. I was extremely dissatisfied. My family of 4 spent $81 and left the majority of the food on the plate.

The same pictures in the place from many many many years ago. That place went down a lot. I told my company next time I'll cook breakfast at the house. I ordered my eggs over medium well got em they were cooked hard asked for corn tortillas got flour waitress never asked if we wanted a refill or nothing. I hate to say it but it sucked. Was not nearworth my $40 for 3 people and breakfast at that. How much are those eggs and beans really? Plus we drank water

Probably one of the worst places for Mexican food in Lubbock do not eat here don’t waste your time. Standing in line. Parking is terrible service and food is terrible. They won’t even correct their mistakes rude unfriendly employees so many other great places for Mexican in Lubbock, but not here.

I got 3 tacos and they were the nastiest tacos I have ever eaten. The first thing I asked them when I walked in was did they have any green sauce and he proceeded to tell me yes when they didn’t. Tacos has 0 flavor just tasted like oil. When I got my tacos there was nothing but meat on it no onions, cilantro or cheese. It was an overall 1 out of 10 only because their queso is decent.

Do not go by websites prices, called to confirm they said they are subject to change. However I was shocked that the food we ordered was exactly double the price of their online price. I went to pick up the food and asked if they could split the payment being that its a restaurant and that's a common thing. The people at the front couldn't figure it out and ended up charging my card 3 times and still charged me more than the original price. I brought this up and was told it was my fault because i asked them to split the payment. RUDE!!! Horrible service. Should differently train the guy at the front on how to use his on register. Food was horrible quality tiny tamales and a lot of fat in the barbacoa.

Me and my husband have been eating at montelongo's for a long time and never had no problem up until today after eating shortly after we both got sick what's the dealio Montes

This is an absolute atrocity of a restaurant. Rice was under seasoned, beans were under seasoned, barbacoa tasted like it had been boiled in dirt water and was 90% fat. I normally do not leave these kinds of reviews but I felt the need to warn anyone who was thinking of coming here please go somewhere, anywhere else! I think there's a taco bell down the street that has better food. I will give places a second and even a third chance but this is the first time that after the first three bites I knew we would never be back. I have absolutely no idea why the food tasted the way it did, you would think that what the food was lacking at least the service would make up for, well that was not the case either.

The food is decent. A real disappointment they close early. Especially during peak hours. They’re such in a rush to get home and leave, but they forget that we are the paying customers that make a business running.

Price vs quality certainly don’t align, $10 per burrito is absurd. Large drink is a medium drink, also employees hanging out with friends in the curb pick up instead of serving their customers.

Absolutely Disgusting remarks made by the “owner” of this restaurant. Would take my business elsewhere.

The food does not taste the same like the old owner was there.

I had not been in a long time. And I was surprised to learn that the food has went Downhill. First of all the prices are a little high for unseasoned bland food. I got My Son a bean burrito $6.99 for a tortilla and some unseasoned beans. I myself got the taco plate once again unseasoned meat. The taco meat had no flavor. The beans were bland.. at $11.99 I should’ve went to Taco Bell. The only thing that was remotely edible was the CALDO. Definitely will not be going back..

Why do yall close early on Sundays?? 1pm can't even make a pick up order because they cut the phones at noon I guess yall will be closing down soon. Used to be my favorite now I can't even pick up an order

The food is fantastic, one of mine and my husband's favorite places to eat. However, I was just on "hold" for 27 minutes. That was the second time. First time was 8 minutes and I wasn't actually on hold either time. They just answered the phone and placed it in their pocket. I sat and listened to countless others order as well as staff laughing and joking around the whole time. I kept thinking he would surely take my order right after this, right? The first time i hung up and called again but the line kept chiming busy. Then finally I get through as my husband and I are already getting the kids ready to just go order in person. This is the time I was on hold for 27 minutes before they hung up on me. I was trying to be patient and understanding but to get such poor service from one of my favorite places is truly disappointing.

It was my first time eating at this restaurant. I’d always heard their ads on the radio, so I finally decided to give it a try. I was craving a good breakfast that morning and ordered a barbacoa burrito. I’m not sure if the issue was because we ordered to-go or if the food just isn’t great in general, but what I got was the most tasteless meal I’ve ever had. The same went for my friend’s plate of enchiladas. Even after adding salt and salsa, it still wasn’t enjoyable. I love seeing my people doing their thing, but unfortunately, the food just wasn’t worth it.

I went here several years ago and experienced racism. I was the 3 rd person to arrive with my family 3 children ages 12, 10 and 6 ay 1130 AM. The place filled up fast it was a Saturday. No waitresses came by our table till 1245 to take our order. We were the only white people in the place. My children wanted to leave, but I keep saying they will come shortly. We were starred at the whole time by many of the other customers. When all of the others had been served and 90 percent had left, then they took our order. You could tell by the way we were approached that they did not want to serve us. I know how others feel when they say that they experienced racism!!!! I will never forget it, but I do forgive their actions. So yes racism does exist in Lubbock, Texas. Don't go there if you want to be treated with disrespect. I did not think that Lubbock had such a place, but it does. We are all equal in the eyes of God. Treat others like you want to be Treated. You own a business, be kind to all no matter what color someone's skin is and treat every one fairly. Just a suggestion!
