Montagues Tex Mex Restaurant in Worthing

Great food! Great atmosphere! Highly recommended!

Lovely friendly service but the food was very basic with minimal effort.

Im so sorry its took me so long to write this review, but I knew once I started writing, the accolades I give this place would not even mirror the experience we actually had. I dont get away that often, and this break really meant the world to me, My partner could not sing its praises enough and I had to push them out of my mind and go with no expectations. From being greeted and seated to the menu choice, and the service it was way more than I ever imagined Sonya was a great host , sorry if i butchered your name Sonya your presence made the whole experience so lovely and special, I was really pleased with the service we received and how friendly the staff were. I was so glad that we booked as I would have been disappointed if we didnt get a table. We do plan to return as I have a piece of my heart left behind for Worthing, a beautiful place for beautiful people and views to match,

Simply Superb! Great Atmosphere. Amazing food (and cocktails). We went in on the off chance on a Wednesday evening. One large party, buy they happily invited us in. Some of the best Tex Mex I've had outside of Texas and Mexico. Attention to detail was spot on, and they'll happily set the heat level to your requirements. Just be sure to tell them if you struggle with chillies. Thank you both for a fantastic night, (our first date in over a year). Long may you continue x

Food was perfect in both presentation and taste! Sizzling hot plates that kept your food warm as you build your fajitas, so that was really fun. The blonde front of house team member (didn’t catch her name) was welcoming and chatty the for our whole visit. Friendly service makes all different so Thankyou, we would recommend.

Ordered delivery, got a Chicken Fajita wrap meal and a Beef chilli Burrito meal, not really impressed. Wrap had barely anything in it and Burrito was mostly rice. Both sets of chips that came with the meal where damp and cheap thick cut ones. Not impressed for £23 roughly.

The Mexican food here was absolutely authentic and excellent service was amazing too and the prices were great. Really highly recommend this place.

Love this place. Il keep goin back.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat. Lovely friendly staff and some really tasty food. We ordered a selection of starters and the taco's, which were all really tasty.

Very quiet food average unfortunately

Can't speak for the food but called at 7pm to ask if they had any tables available for 8pm on a Saturday night, told they were fully booked (dodgy conversation heard in the background between staff - 'just tell them it's late notice'). Cycled past at 7.30 pm the same night and the place was entirely empty except what appeared to be staff on a table chatting. Either the staff will be responsible for driving this business into the ground or this place is highly suspect....

Have been twice now. Both time the food has been amazing. It’s a nice cozy restaurant. With a Mexican theme in and out. The host is friendly and polite believe she was the manger. There was a group of six. Never had to ask for anything, gave us enough time between courses. The place is very clean. The menu is great I wanted everything. Would definitely recommend it.

Was welcomed by a friendly helpful waitress which was the only positive experience. I ordered the full rack of ribs and my wife chicken fajitas( after 15 minutes of waiting she was told they had no peppers to stuff). The ribs were full of fat (see picture). It advertised homemade coleslaw but tasted like cheap vinegary coleslaw bought from a supermarket. When I asked she said it was homemade so was hard to make it taste so cheap. The guacamole also tasted like a cheap version from the supermarket. We explained to the waitress our complaints. She apologised several times. When payment came a different server came so we assumed there would be another apology and even a reduction. There was nothing. The place was also very cold so we both keep our coats on. Such a shame. Never posted such a negative review. Hope they choose to improve.

went here for valentines and the food was amazing and came out very fast, our waitress was more than polite and overall super lovely. Would definitely come again and will recommend others to come :)

Nice place for Mexican food🌶🌶🌶. Texas burgers were not the best i eat, but definitely top 5, porc meat almost melting in the mouth.

Haven’t been here for years, Still the same top grub, great service and atmosphere. It’s just off the seafront easy to find I ‘ll be back.

Had a takeaway from here, the food came quick, loved the vegetable burrito but was disappointed with the chips, they could have had a parika seasoning to give it that Mexican twist and have salsa & guacamole on the side, the good thing with takeaways is you can add these at home!

Not been here for about 8 years. The food was good but not as good as back before. We did have a fun night but there wasn't many people in for a Saturday night. I had the hallomi fajitas a bit dry and wouldnt have those again. Last time they had the cheese and dips in a tortilla Wraps basket, this time it was just on a plate

First time in there ..had a great meal..best Mexican I've had for ages ..nice people good atmosphere and very authentic decoration ...will definitely go back again ..

Very lovely server and had a good meal which everyone enjoyed, it is a small owned restaurant, the restaurant was actually quite cold and people on our table and on other tables kept their coats on due to this. There is a lot of stuff on the walls and it is bordering too much. Nice place to visit and good food.

I love this place great food and service always have a good time there

Great food and such friendly service.

Food was excellent! Had the Texas platter for 2 and the meat literally fell off the bone when eating, so full we couldn't actually finish the meal despite not wanting to leave it. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. We strongly recommend.

Food was delicious, portions were great. Staff were friendly and kind. Thank you!

Came here after me, my dad, and my brother couldn’t decide on a place to eat and I’m so glad we did! The waitress was absolutely lovely and so accommodating to us, the food was absolutely incredible, full of flavour. Our waitress was so lovely and offered me an alternative quesadilla as I’m vegetarian, taking time to make sure it was to my liking, and it tasted stunning. She provided high energy/vibes on a cold and rainy night which I couldn’t be more thankful for. The portions were also very large which matched perfectly with the price! All and all I give this place an easy 10/10 if not more and I really can’t wait till I can go again! Highly highly recommend!! :)) *For reference the picture is the veggie quesadilla and the dish behind it is the tacos my dad got :)

Really nice little Mexican restaurant. Does also do a selection of burgers etc. Food isn't the best quality but fairly priced. Cocktails are overpriced for what they are. All in all a nice little restaurant.

This place is great. We've been twice. Food is food. Very good. Very friendly people. Definitely go back

Fantastic food and lovely service

I had an incredible experience at this place. Firstly, I was impressed by the exceptional staff who were not only nice and friendly but also incredibly attentive throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delightful, with every dish bursting with amazing flavors and the portion sizes were prefect. Moreover, the pricing was extremely reasonable considering the high-quality dining experience. In fact, my group and I indulged in multiple drinks, a tantalizing starter, a satisfying main course, and a mouthwatering dessert, which we really didn't need but sounded too nice to pass up, all for just under £40 each. This place truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect, leaving me thoroughly satisfied and eager to return.

Visited here several times whilst working away. The food is fantastic along with the service and lovely atmosphere. Would recommend anyone come here

A trip down memory lane didn't disappoint.Great food and service at a very competitive price

Looking for Mexican food can be quite hard in England. I myself am of Mexican descent and come from the states and know what real Mexican food looks and tastes like. This is the closest I have got in a long time since moving here. Other restaurants in Worthing really batter what I expect to be authentic Mexican food but Tex Mex was quite on point. Cheers

Lovely food, artful decor, friendly service.

I came here for a celebration with my brother. We love the food, and have been before and always very tasty. The service is ok. Atmosphere and decor interesting and we like the music being played - 70s disco.

We enjoyed a great evening here, fantastic service, so friendly and we loved the food. My friends shared a meat feast which was huge. There were lots of veggie options as well, I had the halloumi fajita which was great. The meals are well priced and I can recommend the margaritas. We will most definitely be going back.

Hi guys. Booked a table for 23\3 at 6pm. Showed up and place was closed. Not a phone call or email to let us know. Very disappointed in the customer service, considering the table was booked for a very important reason.

Wow! The food, the decor, the overall atmosphere, was all amazing! It was clearly busy being a Friday night, but the ladies kept us completely informed regarding the wait for food. And it was well worth it! Simple things like the salsa were clearly hand-made and fresh. We were really impressed by the whole evening

What a wonderful restaurant. We were recommended Montagues through some friends of ours and I am so glad that we went. The food was amazing, I had chicken fajitas and my husband had the jambalaya. Both dishes were freshly cooked and so full of flavour. The staff were just as wonderful, very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend, We are already planning our next visit :)

We love Mexican food and this restaurant did not disappoint. The staff members were really attentive and due to a large party made it known that the food would take a while (which we accepted as we were not in a rush - quite happy to sit and chat). When the food arrived it was plentiful, freshly cooked and piping hot and quicker than first predicted. I would recommend you try this restaurant. It also wasn't overly expensive.

I came here for my birthday meal. The staff made sure I had a great time! The food was also amazing! Definitely the best mexican around !

A very lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. We were given a warm welcome and the food was delicious. I highly recommend and will definitely we coming back.

We enjoyed our meal here so much the other evening that we wanted to leave a review. The food is freshly prepared and delicious and served with a smile. Customers are made to feel very welcome. The owners also seem keen to give good value for money and don’t take their customers for granted

So incredibly average. There’s a reason you pay £12 for a main. The vibe is good tho! All is well if you like rice burritos

Nice restaurant. Would definitely recommend to others.

Had the most delicious meal here with my husband. Staff were so lovely and the food was also great. Whenever we get a babysitter, its the place we go to. Even tho a bit of a drive from where we live but so worth it.

This used to be a favourite of mine but since the change of ownership the quality of the food has dropped off a cliff. Cash only now aswell which is suspect to say the least. Unfortunately in it's current form I will not be visiting this once legendary establishment again.

We have visited previously a few times before, a quite smallish place with a dozen or so tables of 4 not cramped at all, we went for a midweek meal for my wife's birthday, it was very quiet as expected but that was nice as we had good music to listen to, ordered starters nachos and a few other bits, then mains chicken fajitas and veggie chilli chimichanga, on a previous visit we had mentioned how we loved churos and chocolate dipping sauce, and now they have them on the menu to, great evening fantastic food and brilliant service, highly recommended, and booking for a Christmas works do to, 😄👍

Honestly a bit odd. Cash only, which is especially irksome when you’re divvying up the bill amongst a large party. I ordered a vegetarian chilli burrito. Not a particularly hard thing to do right, especially as Mexican food lends itself well to vegetarian options. The first thing I noticed, aside from the lack of any beans or rice in the burrito (thus negating the chilli, or indeed the burrito part) was there were carrots in it. I’ve been in mexican restaurants where they’ve served carrot. Pickled and thinly sliced as part of a garnish or side salad though. After this I even googled whether I was just being an uncultured hick, but nope this just doesn’t seem to be a thing. Especially in this case, as it looked and tasted like tinned baby carrots. Mixed in with equally mushy normally sliced carrots. Oh and peas, you can’t forget the peas. All of this slathered in some kind of mystery tomato sauce that was only on nodding acquaintances with actual chilli sauce. This cost around £12.50, which was faintly ridiculous given a competently made butrito costs a pound or two less in La Choza, down the road in Brighton. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

A group of us went for a birthday dinner. We were served by two ladies who were very friendly. The food was amazing!! Will definitely be going back. Booked via Facebook which was easy and given a heads up it’s cash only, which for me was the only downside. But it won’t put me off going back. Great night!

Great food and service in this atmospheric little place. We've been going back for over 16 years now! It only takes cash at the moment so bear that in mind when booking.

Full menu, we all had a different style and all meals were freshly made and delicious. Portions are good and flavours authentic. Staff were friendly and made you feel very welcome

Beautiful food! Lovely service. Can’t fault it here. Such a wide selection on the menu, you just want to tuck into abit of everything!

Extremely flexible with our timings and a friendly welcome. The food was fabulous and well priced. The best Mexican meatballs have had. My husbands ribs and wings were also superb.

I came here for my birthday on Tuesday and the food came out steaming hot, the Waitress was really friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. I will definitely come back again.

I came here with family to celebrate my 65th birthday, and very pleased we did! Good choices for vegetarians, and I had a burrito. I shall want to return before my next birthday. Paying with cash only wasn't a problem.

I did check reviews prior going. Was not disappointed, Food was excellent just what you would expect from a Mexican. Service was quick and very friendly. Take no notice of earlier reviews about either cash only or difficulty contacting by phone. Although it is cash...

Great food . Would've rathered not to have collect

Awful. Food was completely inedible and when the staff were told, we were met with attitude. Do not eat here and do not waste your money.

We were invited to a 21st birthday party here catering for 14 of us and it was brilliant. The staff were absolutely delightful, so incredibly pleasant and welcoming. Food was great, generous portions and very tasty. Had a great birthday cake which the lovely staff...

Visited last night for my daughter's 21st birthday party. A brilliant night with excellent food and service. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was top quality with all 14 of us enjoying the food. Highly recommend.

Lovely food, good customer service and friendly. Good vegetarian options and worth while going. Lovely themed decor, making it feel you are in Mexico. Nice atmosphere with good music. One of the best restaurants in Worthing. Booking is essential as it's not huge but worth trying last minute. Been returning for years and quality each visit, never had cause to complain.

Let me start by saying it takes a lot for me to leave a review I can’t believe how bad the food was I had the soggiest bruito that had no rice and full of spring onion and just wet chicken that had no flavour (I couldn’t eat it ) the service was poor when I raised these issues the owner/manager Made it seem as if I’m going crazy I refused to pay and then he started bartering with me telling me that other places are a lot more expensive I’d rather pay more for good food Should of went to the curry house next door

Very disappointed. Ordered the Texan meal for 2 and the ribs tasted like they had been heated up, no flavour what so ever, tasted so cheap But I must say Everything else was lovely. When I addressed this to the waitress (which I think was the owner)she automatically made out it was my fault and I’m the only person to have made a complaint and that she’s so shocked. No Thankyou or goodbye when we was leaving the restaurant. Customer service is just so fake. Staff talk about you if you make a complaint about the food found it very awkward. Waste of money.

Not as good as it used to be. Food was not good and staff can’t deal with complaint and just say we have never had complaint before couldn’t wait to leave and never going back

Can never get through on the phone. Need shutting down

Great food but very slow service. No mention of cash only! The sign came out once I waved my company credit card! They told me that they get a lot of that from business people staying in the hotels. Duh!!! Take card payments then!!! Not...

We have tried on multiple occasions to eat here but it’s impossible! Friday evening (6pm) there was a sign in the window “bookings only, cash only”. Nobody in the restaurant. I’d tried calling earlier in the day to book but no answer. Thought it might...

Great food, but, since last autumn we've tried endless times to get through on the phone but to no avail, we've now sadly given up and gone elsewhere. It's such a same as we loved this place, but there's no point if we can't make...

Just had a takeaway from Tex Mex via Uber Eats, have to say it tasted amazing!

Took the loved one out for a meal. Once a year treat. Very nice

Great quality food, portion size, timely service, and price. Thank you

Totally recommend Tex Mex. 10 of us had a meal the eve before our wedding. We could not have been looked after any better and the food was delicious.

Fantastic little place. Staff were friendly and courteous, food was excellent and decently priced. We were really welcomed and the service was great. Thoroughly recommend and will be going there again.

Excellent good food good staff will definitely be going back

Came to TexMex for dinner this evening with my partner and two friends. The food was excellent with such a large choice on the menu and large portions! The service and staff were really prompt and friendly. Will definitely be returning and recommending to friends...

Just had a takeaway, the best food I've eaten for ages, well done! We'll definitely be back for more. The portions are big but hard to stop eating so pace yourself!

Ordered though uber eats. My jumbalya was so salty I couldn't eat it. When I called to complain no one answered me. I bought £46 worth of food. The rest was fine but mine was so salty it was uneditable.

The food was fab, hot and reasonable price thanks for making my son's birthday a great success, Montagues Tex Mex.

Massively recommend this - really good. My brothers partner grew up in Mexico and is a massive critic. She absolutely loved it. Very authentic. Chief clearly cares a lot about the food s/he makes. So impressed. If you’re reading this I for sure suggest you try it

Had tex mex as a takeaway delivery. Really good food, quick and hot

Fantastic food lovely friendly staff definitely worth a visit

Very nice quality and good food they're very friendly and the price is lovely😊

Lovely family restaurant amazing food abs excellent service! We’ve just moved back to the area and so glad to see the restaurant is as good as ever. They are doing delivery during lockdown which is brilliant! Really enjoyed our lunch today thank you x

Had a lovely meal here to celebrate grand-daughters birthday. Everyone’s food was delicious, restaurant was clean and waitress was lovely. Will definitely be returning.

Great atmosphere and good portions. Came here with my friends after work for dinner was very pleased with the food

Not good atmosphere, seen waitresses being sexually approached by the waiter, and i could tell they were uncomfortable. It’s obvious the owner is being unprofessional towards his staff.

I was a solo person looking for a meal. Despite the place being practically empty, a big deal was made that they might not have room. I was offered a table in the very back by the kitchen, under a blaring speaker, playing awful music....

Excellent food and very friendly service.

Excellent food and great service!

I had to come back to Tex Mex after my delicious meal at Christmas. I brought my hubby along this time as I had been raving about the place ever since. I am glad to say the food, service, food and drink options are still...

What a nasty little place - service was ok until i didn't eat my horrible food - then they wanted me out . Saturday lunchtime so very quiet . Decor is nice but chef didnt wear whites , just his clothes , bad sign ....

The food was well presented and was excellent. The staff was very helpful and very friendly. My wife and I have been meaning for a while to eat here and I'm just disappointed we left it so long.

Enjoyed the food and good service

Good portions, food came quick and it was delicious. The place has a good atmosphere. Will defiantly be coming back again

We had a fantastic night at Tex Mex last night celebrating our works Xmas Party. The staff were amazing and so helpful with all of our different meal options. If you have any allergies or vegan / vegetarian requirements they are brilliant, they even have a separate menu for this. My colleague has a gluten Allergy and the waitress / owner was great at suggesting options suitable and even mixed and matched a dish for her so that she could enjoy everything she wanted. All of our food was delicious (huge portions) and everyone left the restaurant with happy tummy’s. The cocktails are pretty good too. I have just seen a very negative review below and not one to Normally comment on someone else’s review, I was shocked and appalled to see what she has written and couldn’t disagree more! Firstly who is she to comment on someone else’s children and them playing nicely on their game machines and what time they are awake... this is a restaurant after all and children are welcome in all restaurant’s. What a grumpy lady aye, even tex mex have great music playing so hardly a problem them being there! To then make a comment about being English so there is not a culture differences... is she saying if the waitress hadn’t of been English then she wouldn’t have understood her because of being a different culture? Very racist and offensive in my opinion!! Anyway don’t listen to that clearly false review, the lady was clearly having a bad day to insult other people’s kids and cultures, we were a large group booking (14 of us) and the night could not have gone any better. Excellent food, excellent service and excellent atmosphere. Five stars all round! I will definitely be returning with my husband and “kids” :-)

Allergies beware! Ordered chicken but it tasted strongly of prawn/ fish and the owner insulted us when we queried it! The service was slow- took 30 mins to take out order and then 40 mins for the starter to arrive. The starters were fine. However, the main course, (we were given the incorrect mains at first), which was supposed to be chicken in white wine sauce with vegetables and rice, tasted overwhelmingly of fish/prawns and was dripping in an orange oily sauce. (Fish and prawns disgust me- and my father is highly allergic to it- had he had this dish it would have made him very, very ill) Initially I thought it was the sour cream making it taste fishy- so I stopped using it, and then went to taste some sweetcorn. It was so disgusting- being very oily and tasting strongly of fish rather than sweetcorn, that I was nearly sick and had to discreetly spit it into my napkin. At this point I asked my husband to taste it and he agreed it tasted incredibly fishy. We told the waitress who took it away and the owner (who didn't introduce herself or explain who she was) asked us if we would like something else. The trouble was that I felt so sick as I never eat prawn or fish that I couldn't face eating anything else and I didn't trust what I might get either. So I politely declined. I asked the owner to try the food as she refused to acknowledge that it was fishy.The owner began arguing with us about whether it tasted of fish or not and basically called us liars. (which we are not- we are both working professionals who don't normally get any trouble when eating out) She was rude, passive aggressive and interrupted me, raised her voice and refused to admit that the food wasn't right. There were only 2 other customers in there (Saturday night- maybe that should have told us something?) and she asked them to shout across and tell us how their food was! How inappropriate! She is also English so it wasn't that there was a culture difference which caused a misunderstanding. She also refused to take the cost of the (Disgusting) uneaten dish off the bill. I told her I'd never been so insulted and she just didn't care; She Just kept insisting black was white, if you now what I mean. Eventually she took the one dish off the bill after we told her we would not pay for that item. My husband has also come home feeling unwell after eating there. We will never eat there again and would be concerned for people who are vegetarian, vegan or have allergies as our food (chicken & vegetables) definitely tasted strongly of fish/prawns. (p.s If you look at my other reviews you will see that I usually leave 5 star reviews-I've never left a one star one.) Show less

The service was slow- took 30 mins to take out order and then 40 mins for the starter to arrive. There were two young children in there playing sonic the hedgehog very loudly on a tablet, who should have been in bed. (9.30pm) The starters were fine. However, the main course, (we were given the incorrect mains at first), which was supposed to be chicken in white wine sauce with vegetables and rice, tasted overwhelmingly of fish/prawns and was dripping in an orange oily sauce.
