((Disclaimer: I do not usually leave bad reviews unless it's a bad experience, I worked as a line cook and server so I understand the struggle))My partner and I recently moved to Chambersburg, and wanted to celebrate our 4 year anniversary by having some authentic Mexican food. Our coworkers have talked about how good the food at Montezuma Mexican Restaurant is, and to say we were more than happy to try it would be an understatement. Sadly, our overall experience there was mediocre at best.When we first walked in to the restaurant, we were very happy with the way the food smelled, the music playing felt very nice and have a home-y feel to it, and the decorations looked very pretty and we were loving it. Our host took us to our booth and we could not wait to eat as we hadn't eaten anything since noon. Our server brought our drinks and we actually enjoyed them, so we thought it would be the start of something great, unfortunately, it wasn't.When we received our tortilla chips and salsa, a smell of old oil was present but we just assumed they had been cooked recently, and proceeded to snack until we ordered. The tortilla chips tasted old as if they had been sitting on the hot plate until they were served to us, and the salsa tasted bland and watered down. I understand not everyone enjoys spicy food but there was almost no taste to it at all. We excused it as being complimentary and moved on to the food.My partner and I got the Burritos Azteca (one with cheese sauce, and the other with chipotle sauce as my partner doesn't like chipotle or mole), and ordered guac and refried beans on the side. The steak inside the burritos tasted bland and unseasoned, the chipotle sauce felt as if it was burnt, and it didn't feel spicy, which again, not everyone is a fan of so it gets a pass but I was expecting a bit of a kick at least. The rice tasted as if it was boxed Spanish rice with no seasoning and the refried beans tasted as if they were "Old El Paso" canned refried beans. The guac was my least favorite of all, there was not a hint of salt to be found anywhere and it just tasted of onion.We tried using salt and pepper and that did not help. My food was very disappointing and I could not eat more than one bite of it. My partner's burrito tasted better than mine because of the cheese sauce but the bar was very low to begin with. I don't usually send food back, I'm the type to tough it out and just eat it or box it up and throw it out but we did not feel comfortable paying for a meal we didn't eat. We did however feel fully comfortable paying for everything we had eaten and did not have an issue with that.Sending the food back was actually surprising not only to me and my partner but also the servers. Because when our server came to check on us and we explained we did not enjoy the food and felt bad we were even complaining, our server left and never came back out. Other servers in the back were eye-ing us which made us uncomfortable and it wasn't until about half an hour later when our host had came to check on us and asked if we needed boxes to go that we explained the situation to him as well.Our host left and came back and apologized for the inconvenience and offered us a 10% discount of our meal as I had eaten "half of my burrito" so they couldn't take it off. Usually we would just agree, bite the bullet and leave but again, I took a literal bite out of everything and did not touch it again. We had to speak up again about how uncomfortable we were paying for it and it wasn't until I explained everything that was wrong in detail for the 4th time that our host offered to take my food off the receipt.Overall it was not an enjoyable experience especially for our 4 year anniversary. We were saddened by the situation and don't think we will be coming back to eat here.P.S. in the pictures attached are the "half eaten burrito" and the food we ate.Thank you for coming to my xTED Talk.Bye-bye.

The cheese dip was awesome at the Lincoln Way Montezuma, I just wish I could get the white dip that I used to get in Virginia Mexican restaurants. Anyhow, the food was great and the staff was even better.
