Moctezuma Restaurant

Nice little spot to get a quick meal. Only Mexican restaurant in town that doesn’t taste like cafeteria food. The burritos are huge, even the regular one. Tacos are great too. I usually only go here for lunch which has a limited menu. My favorite meat is the spicy pork but they’re all good. Never been disappointed here.

Perhaps it is because I am from California. I wasn’t terribly impressed with this place. It IS decent but just not out of this world amazing… I know Junction City doesn’t have many options and so I am sure it fills a need there and if I lived there I am sure I would visit. We tried this location, however, based on an advertisement and coupon we purchased (like a Groupon type thing) and drove over from Eugene.
I am used to Taco Shop type places having numerous options. Honestly this one has a very limited amount of food options, HOWEVER they do have the basics. Tacos, burritos, nachos etc.
I didn’t find the same problems as others did with menu items being out as they had everything listed (although a very limited menu).
We were told that the smothered burrito was not hot and that neither the red nor green sauces were hot. The owner (EXTREMELY nice and the main reason that they received three stars) told us that neither was an enchilada sauce but neither was hot… I LOVE hot food but my mom ordered one since it was not going to be hot and she wanted it smothered. Let me tell you the verde/​green sauce was HOT and it grew hotter and hotter. Definitely get sour cream with this.
My dad had the enchiladas. The plate wasn’t huge but it was enough for a meal without leftovers. His plate was empty so it couldn’t have been too bad. I got the carne asada nachos (large and it was a good portion) — honestly they were very good.
Overall I felt the pricing was a bit high (again I am from San Diego so the taco shops here are some of the most affordable food in town).
The restroom was EXTREMELY clean and obviously well maintained. The «owners» (I think) were extremely nice and it is obviously a family operation (as most taco shops are). The kitchen is pretty large so maybe one day they will expand their selection.
I liked this location — just be careful of the sauce «heat» if you don’t like hot food. The menu is limited so only want the basics when visiting and you will be fine.
