    Cockroach on food, I noticed as soon as they put the plate in front me there was no apology and the staff simply just took the plate back and said they could bring me a different one the manager who was casually walking by just looked at the plate and kept on not a word from him do not eat here this was the middle of the day

    Stopped by for lunch and was very pleased with my experience. The wait staff was very courteous and seated me promptly. My waiter arrived quickly and took my order while I enjoyed the chips and salsa with cheese dip that was all very good . Before I knew it my food had arrived and it was all cooked correctly and tasted very good. I ordered two beef enchiladas and got one shredded and one ground and they both were awesome! I was very happy with my trip here and will be back and would recommend it to anyone traveling through the area!

    Affordable and delicious. quick service with a smile and respectable friendly behavior. Very positive energy here and all the staff seem efficient and responsible. They played music with a live mc/vocalist which was very nice except when he sang baby shark 🤣. He is there to play music Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Thanks to my server Jason and the cooking staff for ensuring in shall return and refer.

    Googled best Mexican in Midwest City while driving thru. Monterey Jack's came up so we decided to go. It was noon yet we were seated immediately. Our waiter was attentive and polite. Ordered off lunch menu and ordered margarita and beer. The margarita was really good, not sour. He said they make by hand. Food was served quickly and was great. The salsa was tasty too. It could be best in Midwest City!

    Small but mighty! We came for my sister's birthday dinner. As a party of 16 we were able to sit in the back room with a very long table you're also other booths on the side of us and a bar behind us it is a little cramped but overall has a pretty good layout. It's off of a Main Street and they have their own parking which is great. The service was Superior although we only had one server he was very attentive and got our orders taken and food brought out quickly. The food was excellent had great flavor and tasted the way authentic Mexican should taste. The drinks were strong just the way we like them. We will most definitely be back and would recommend it again and again. It was also a guitar player that came and played a birthday song for my sister which was a treat. We appreciate the hospitality.

    Loved this place. Live music, great service and food. The relish, queso and salsa were all very good. I had the enchilada platter with a side hard beef taco. Probably one of the best taco's that I have ever had. Will definitely go back and highly recommend.

    First time customer. Absolutely a great place to eat! Service is prompt and precise. Great atmosphere, the manager oversees everyones experience and makes sure no customer is in need of anything for no more than a couple of seconds. Food and drinks were very delicious. Very generous portions of food. Will be our go to for Americanized Mexican food!

    I ordered a margarita with my meal and when the tab came my Rita was listed as “open price menu” and cost $10.99. It didn’t seem right it wasn’t a big margarita and it wasn’t a specialty drink. We paid the waiter but I asked at the front how much a margarita was. They told me there were 3sizes, small medium and large, large being $9.99. I showed them my receipt and said I was charged $11. The guy I spoke with grabbed another guy, who asked for my receipt akf took off with it. I waited for a response at the front and my waiter came over and asked my problem. I said I thought I was overcharged for my drink, he said we have all kinds of sizes small medium large extra large. The guy who took my receipt never came back with it. A few more employees asked if I needed anything, I explained. Eventually one came back with my waiter, she gave me a dollar and said this is what I was owed. My waiter kept insisting they didn’t have my ticket anymore. My margarita didn’t seem like a large, I was overcharged regardless at least a few dollars. They didn’t return my customer copy receipt and my waiter said they didn’t have the merchant copy. So it seems to me my waiter tried to rip me off some, then they took my receipt so I didn’t have proof. We have loved this place for years but I can’t believe I was overcharged for alcohol and lied to about it and my proof taken.

    Absolutely delicious food. You can get enchiladas made with corn tortillas instead of flour. Impeccable service. Restaurant was extremely clean. Waiter was friendly without being over friendly and very fast and very courteous

  • 1/5 Wanda C. 3 years ago on Google
    They double charge you and then get mad when you ask why. And throws your refund at you

  • 5/5 Lauren S. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited here recently and was impressed with the flavor of the food. I ordered a chicken and a cheese enchilada which can often be bland at some restaurants. Not here though! They were both delicious, and I enjoyed every bite. The service was great, and it's a pleasant atmosphere as well. I will definitely be returning.

  • 5/5 Samantha J. 1 year ago on Google
    It was the best Mexican food I have ever tasted!! The atmosphere was very comfortable so comfortable I didn't feel like I had to hide to eat. That was the most comfortable I have ever felt inside of a restaurant!! 10/10 would recommend to anyone who ask where a good place to eat in the city is.

  • 5/5 Timothy M. 1 year ago on Google
    Guitar man was playing the Eagles and some other well known songs while we ate. Food was terrific, server was attentive and friendly, but not overly so that he was annoying. Not too pricy, especially for what you get. We had a table of 5 and they got us right in while it was pretty busy. Great place to eat.

  • 5/5 Adam W. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Monterey Jack’s. I’d recommend it to anybody I know, even if they hated Mexican food. I’d say “Hey have you tried Monterey Jack’s?”. If they said “No.”, then I’d say your opinion doesn’t matter to me. The food is amazing. I come once a week sometimes more. I always have such amazing service, I feel like I’m getting service from Jack himself. It’s so clean here, and the atmosphere is awesome! Thank you, Jack for always Montereing.

  • 3/5 CRYBABY L. 7 months ago on Google
    First time ever being here. Went on a Sunday afternoon with the family. Food and service were great but one problem. A lot of loud and obnoxious drunks using vulgar language in a family restaurant. Told the manager we were leaving and right away he offered a more secluded table away from the drunks which was a little better.

  • 5/5 FancyStormRacing 8 months ago on Google
    Cost me and my husband $26! This place was well worth the cost. I will definitely be back. Great food

  • 2/5 Kris M. 8 months ago on Google
    Food was pretty good til they brought me sopapilla and there was a roach on it. Also the waiter did a good job til i told him of the problem and he asked if i wanted another serving

  • 4/5 Katie F. 6 months ago on Google
    The food was reasonably priced, especially the kids meal. The margs though, $9.99. They don’t taste like too much mix but overall they could use a bit more tequila. Their chips and salsa were delicious! What I don’t understand is the cheese dip. It’s like a cream of potato….Overall our experience was pretty good! We’d love to go back and try out their fajita special they do on Wednesday and Thursday. Fajitas for 2 for only $17.99. Will update if we go again!

  • 5/5 Lisa S. 5 months ago on Google
    My favorite Mexican spot! The staff here is excellent! We're regulars so we've established a relationship where we can ask the manager to surprise us with something traditional and not on the menu! Never have they failed to please. Miguel has this restaurant on point!

  • 5/5 jasmine v. 5 months ago on Google
    Greeted when entered, taken to Sylvester who was very easy going and very charismatic! He was efficient and on the go but pleasantly out of the way. Food was hot from the chips to the entree. Prices were great and portions too, my growing 14 yr old was satisfied and didn't even have room to help me. Best Monterey Jack experience to date!

    This place doesn’t disappoint. We’ve been a couple of times after Mass and I have loved everything we’ve had. The guys that wait on you are so nice. The food has been great. They even do my fajita veggies just the way I like them. It’s a busy place with live music (when we’ve been there). Glad we found a good place to go after Mass!!

  • 5/5 Gigi P. 6 months ago on Google
    The food is amazing. It is so delicious. The restaurant is clean with friendly and helpful staff. They even have a gentleman who comes in to entertain the crowd with h8s guitar and voice. He is really talented. It was a very enjoyable experience.

  • 5/5 Zella W. 3 years ago on Google
    Huge portions. Everything I've tried, and I've tried almost everything, is delicious and seasoned to perfection. Service is fast and friendly. Prices are extremely good for the amount of food served. I usually take half home.

  • 1/5 Marianne C. 3 years ago on Google
    I took my family here today for the first time. I was incredibly disappointed to walk in and see that none of the tables are distanced. Maybe a foot or 2 between tables. And I only saw one staff member wearing a mask. Will probably never go back, even after the pandemic

  • 5/5 Shara K. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jesse K. 3 years ago on Google
    Hey guys! Let me tell you about my experience here at MJ’s. I don’t know a lot of people that go to a Mexican Restaurant and get American food but all I have to do is look in the mirror and I find one (that’s me). The place is very nice but unlike everyone that I know, I don’t like Mexican Food.. yes yes.. I am different I get it. I asked my waiter, I said “ how’s the cheeseburger here?” Muffled through his mask, he says “people... order it” I say “make it a double!” Guys, this cheeseburger was so... good! I ate that burger like it was the best burger I have ever had. Order the Cheeseburger, trust me! Attention: I don’t do drugs and I am at sober mind when I wrote this!
