    Review from a Houstonian foodie. The restaurant has been a community staple for many, many decades. While they maintained the same location, they have expanded their seating. Ambiance is casual. You walk-in and place your order at the counter and seat yourself. The process works. The counter staff and wait staff is efficient, friendly, and professional. Montelongo's offers Mexican food with some TexMex influences. You will find your choice is dishes fresh and made to order. Today, we had menudo (stew light dish with hominy, beef tripe, spices, and red chile) served with warm corn tortillas and onions and lemons on side. The dish was seasoned perfectly and tripe cooked just right ( not under or over). They offer a medium or large bowl. Depending on how hungry you are will determine which size. We went with the medium to control our portions. Next time you are in Lubbock stop by to explore for yourself. Happy eating foodies!

    Jose P. took me here a few months ago it was good but I prefer lunch or dinner from here. Celeste always asked for Carne Picada. I would just eat whatever Jose Rosales brought home to my mom. The tamales are really good & you know I want to know the recipe for the chile.

    My family enjoys the restaurant, but the music in the back room is too LOUD! First and last time we'll ever sit back there. Difficult to hear each other and enjoy our meals. Food is great, though.
