My favorite restaurant in town, totally unlike any other, very unique among its Mexican food peers – by far the best cheese dip and salsa. Inexpensive, friendly staff, damn good food. The only drawback is how small the restaurant is and how crowded it can get inside, best to visit at odd times, such as 2 or 3 PM.

I grew up with Casa Montez, here in Joplin, Mo. Way back when the Montez’ familia had it. ,

For a small 1 oz cup of cheese dip is 4.75. That pricing is ridiculous. Love me some casa but the prices come on. I dip a chip in and half it’s gone already. The beef tacos are amazing and love the chicken nachos from here. Also if you charge a to go charge let the customer know on the phone. Tuesday I paid a 1$ and Thursday I paid 2$ ? For a to go charge and was not told both times. Also like why? I order to go from plenty of places and have never been charged.

The average is 4 stars and that’s what I was gonna give it when the appetizers came but when my carnitas arrived it went to a straight 5 star rating! Caritas are amazing…Chili rellano was amazing. Super great service. Definitely recommend.

I grew up here and it was always a treat to go to Casa Montez, as a kid I remember the fountain and atmosphere and as an adult I remember the margaritas and food.. I moved away and would visit every time I was in town.. then I heard that they had closed and I was disappointed to hear it.. much to my surprise when I heard that they had reopened on Main.. I was here a month ago but they were closed and today we hurried to restaurant so much that I got stopped by JPD.(he let me off with a warning, thank you officer) . and it made us 5 minutes late.. literally we walked in the door at 8:04 and she told us they would not serve us because the kitchen closes at 8.. but that I could buy their extremely expensive cheese dip, guac or salsa.. so now I’ve been there twice and turned away, there won’t be a third.. so disappointing,, this part of my childhood is done!! Good Luck Casa Montez.. you don’t need my money..

Went here for lunch with a friend to try it for the first time. She loved the salsa, I thought it was fine. I heard the cheese dip was delicious so I ordered it and it was similar (but better) to Velveeta and Rotel I make at home. It is not the white cheese dip you expect at most restaurants. It was tex-mex style. My friend didn’t like the “gritty” texture. I liked the flavor, until it got cold. I didn’t bring the leftovers home. My enchiladas were hot and fresh, rice was good. One plus is the enchiladas seemed bigger than other restaurant’s. It’s not my new favorite, but I’ve definitely had worse in the area. My friend enjoyed her chile rellenos, commenting it was better than most in the areas.

They’re not on range line anymore, they’re located on 48th and main. The food is good but their prices are high and the salsa doesn’t taste the same as it used too but I haven’t had the cheese dip since they reopened. The building is very small as well but there is a walk up window outside to order or pick up food.
