Modelos Sports Cantina

Cheap prices, tv’s at pretty much every angle. Nice views and plenty of seating, usually have no wait time. Drinks come stiff from the start.

on my recent trip to Louisiana, I decided to make a pit stop for the San Antonio Spurs NBA game. I called ahead of time to make sure the game would be televised. someone on the line was unable to even answer the question when they appeared to ask a member of Mgmt. They said " yes" the game would be on and to come on in. I decided against my better judgement to go to the establishment. Of course when I arrived and asked for the game to be put on they looked at me with a blank stare. I told them I called at which point they acted even more confused. In the mean time I ordered a Michelada, which was the worst I have ever had by the way. no Ice , no olives very poorly prepared. as they tried to sort out which channel the game was, I ordered some food. The food was warm but very basic at best. nothing to be amazed by for an establishment that has above average prices. I really wish the place was better than expected. To end the story the game was never found, and the GM was no where in site for the bartender to get help with finding the channel. I would stay away if I were you!

Service was good. Ribeye bites were chewy. Appetizers were better. Atmosphere is good overall.

After reading the reviews and found very few to include details on the food-most were about friendly service lol We decided to try it hoping that there was more to this place than the bartender and servers…. Luckily, there was! The atmosphere and esthetic is that of upscale Texas cantina with large sports bar tvs. The service was fast and efficient. I didn’t find our server exceptionally friendly but attentive. We ordered fried pickles and jalapeños and cocktails to start. He ordered wings with onion rings and i got street tacos. The food was good. Not exceptional but certainly not bad. However, I was disappointed at the presentation of the street tacos -See pics- and worried that it would not taste good. It was tortillas with chunks of chicken. The cilantro and onion were served separately in plastic condiment cups, along with tomatillo salsa. There was thought in the plating…it was a wooden board but the presentation was poor. If I saw a pic of this on the reviews or menu, I would NOT order it. Nothing about it looked appealing. However, the flavor in the chicken was there and they were good when I put it together. The wings and fried pickles and jalapeños were typical pub style food. There could have been another dipping sauce option for the jalapeños, ranch was the only offering. While we wouldn’t avoid this restaurant, there wasn’t much to pull us back outside of football season. Looks like it could be a fun place to hang out for late night drinks though.

Modelos is the place to go. It was absolutely fantastic food. The green sauce is the best I've had! The tacos and fajitas were outstanding. The service was great. The manager David is an awesome guy. He came over and introduced himself to us and gave us great hospitality! Definitely will go back for more.

My first experience at this location was excellent. Since this was my first time here, I let my server, Faith, order my food for me. She did a good job. She had ordered me the Pollo Loco. If you ever stop in Beaumont, you should try it out!

Tonight I ended up at the new sports bar Modelos in Beaumont Texas. It's a new place and it's locally owned. I'm a huge fan of supporting locally owned restaurants and pubs so I made a stop. The first beer was my go to Shiner Bock but my second was Ghost the Machine. This is one bad boy with a whopping 8.5% ABV. It's a double IPA with a citrus flavor that will make you smack your lips saying "Dam that taste like grapefruit. Appetizer - Shrimp Ceviche I love ceviche and this was on point. Served fresh with a side of chips and Valentina hot sauce. Just scoop some up, top it with Valentina and enjoy. Main Course - Taco Platter 10 Tacos. 2 of each flavor. Carne Asada, Barbacoa, Chicken, Pastor & Carnitas. Holy Toledo's Batman hold on to your cape cause this is one heck of a ride. Flavor town here we come. Dress it up with onions, cilantro, with fresh squeeze lime and top those boys with some salsa verde. This was perfect. Flavor was on point, tender and juicy. Jordan at the bar was very attentive. I got to sample a few beers and I gave her my opinion then she found a great beer to enjoy. The Ghost Machine. Warren made a visit to see what I enjoyed on the taco platter. We had a great conversation and he was very professional. My overall experience was amazing. Great service, cold beer with some amazing food. Thank you guys for opening an amazing place. I will be returning.

Service was great. I waitress was on point! Unfortunately when I got home and my daughter started eating my leftovers she found a giant piece of plastic in my charro beans. So that was disappointing. Outside of that food was ok for a mostly drinking atmosphere. Drinks were ok. Not much to choose from as far as mixed drinks but there is plenty of beer.

Can't rate the food because we never got served. Not a beer or anything sat there for 15 and not a single person came to the table and the 3 dingdongs at the front desk couldn't have cared less. Bummer. But the table they sat us at was also dirty and the silverware roll had something nasty on it. So if what we see out front is that crappy, imagine what condition the kitchen is in.

I'm not a sports bar kinda guy. But then, Modelos is not a sports bar kinda place. Modelos is BIG, partially because everything's bigger in Texas. Big room with a tall ceiling, big seating capacity, large number of TV screens, including a VERY big screen on the freeway side of the room. And yes, sports on the TVs, but the cantina doesn't feel like a bar. Emphasis is on the food, not the drinks. And the food is mostly Mexican food, not much American bar food. The selection is smaller than what you'd get at Elena's or Casa Ole. On the other hand, this is a place to come with your buddies to hang out after work, whether to watch the game or not, and have some food on the side. I was trying to decide between the super burrito and fajitas. Reyse told me that the burrito is the most popular. I went with the beef fajitas. And they were good. The beef was pretty tender, and had a strong taste to it. Put the beef, sauteed onions & peppers, and rice & beans into the tortilla, and you're good to go. The quality is up there with most Mexican restaurants. As for Reyse, she was good, professional, and friendly. I went to Modelos its first year in operation, for an early lunch. As I was leaving, a lot more people were coming in. I wonder what it's like when a big game is on, like Texas v. Oklahoma, or the Astros trying to get into the playoffs, it's probably filled with people. With the high ceilings, I think that it might get loud but not uncomfortably loud. Modelos appears to be a hit in Beaumont. Yeah, even if you don't like sports, it's worth going to Modelos to get some high-quality south-of-the-border grub at a normal price. Go on over to get this party started.

Outstanding lunch menu with large portions. Cold beer, great service. I'm from Houston and was just passing through Beaumont, but will be sure to stop again in the future. My buddy was with me and he concurs.

We had a to go order the food was super minimal for 14.99 and no chips or salsa come with it. It tasted good but

Food is Sysco quality at best, no love or drive put into it. It's a sports bar yet on a Monday night there's shitty music playing where as there is multiple playoff games on, yet the the shitty manager who's more concerned touching the girls won't play a games audio. The staff is inattentive at best, and yet there's 2 bartenders. I mean ur a sports bar,right? As an owner.....I mean, seriously? Maybe it's why u have more staff than customers in the building.

Good quality bar fare food. Plenty of TV's and plenty tables for sports viewing. Friendly wait staff as well. If you like wings, burgers, cold beer and scantily clad waitresses... This is your place!

AWESOME place.! Probably 30 beers on tap 29 degrees with excellent food! Been there four times with a different menu item each time and they were delicious. The staff is dressed similar to a hooter or twin peaks attire. Sports bar with Tv's everywhere. Food was served in a timely fashion and great tasting! Can't wait to return and try a different dish.

Stop in with friends at first I thought this was a Mexican Hooter/Twin Peaks. But the menu is diverse and the service and food were outstanding. Trista did a Fantastic job even though the kitchen was slammed. Great Addition to the Restaurant seen in Beaumont, Texas.

Modelos is a 4.5 star sports bar with 2 star service. I am new to the Beaumont area and stopped by Modelos for a beer and some food . I sat at the bar on a Thursday which was not unusually busy. The atmosphere and the mixed crowd gave this local sport bar the allure a small town needs. Unfortunately, the servers are too busy on their phones or chatting away amongst themselves instead of focusing on the customers. This vibrant bar is always lively but the inability to read the room is killing the servers. They either don't care or are too self absorbed to care about the clientele they are serving. Tonight was the worse night yet... came in for dinner and I ended up eating with nothing to drink because the server was too busy on her phone. Regardless of the service, I am respectful of the profession and I generously tip. Tonight was the first time I've walked out of a bar upset and without leaving a tip. I hope management pay a little more attention to how the servers treat their customers.

I absolutely love this place!! Always cold beer, good tv screens, great happy hour before 6pm and good Modern Spanish music. Definitely my spot!

Relatively good service. The mixed drinks are good and the beer is cold. I have yet to try the entrees. I wasn't impressed with the chips and queso.

Walked in and sat at the bar, no waitress came to ask us what we wanted to drink. Had to flag a waitress down in order to get a beer she came back with a beer and menu waited 30-45 minutes and they didn't ask us if we were going to order some food. Really bad customer service would not recommend.

Lunch special Pollo Loco was awesome. Nice place, great staff and price is reasonable
