“ Absolutely amazing food! We loved the machete and the tacos. So yummy! Their salsas are great as well. We couldn't figure out which one we liked best. My fiance wanted a bottle of each lol ”
“ We keep going back, the food is delicious and the service is always welcoming and friendly. Love the salsa selection. Keep up the good work! ”
“ A quaint, tasty and friendly hidden gem! The moment we walked in we were promptly greeted. Old school architecture with touches of Mexican charm abound the interior. From the chips and salsa(s) to the meal we were pleasantly surprised. Great traditional flavors, resealable prices and friendly service. A must try if you you live in the area or are nearby for any reason. ”
“ Great value and flavor. Not your ordinary Mexican place. Love that you can add eggs or grilled cactus to any order. ”
“ We have lived close to this place and were tired of driving 20 miles to our go-to place. We tried Machetes and we're so glad we did! We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door and loved the 3 salsa choices. It took a while to get out food, but there's good reason. It was fresh and delicious- and to our surprise, it didn't come out on a fiery hot "microwaved" plate. Huge portions, fresh food and friendly service. If you haven't been there, go NOW! ”
“ Great food, very friendly staff. Will be going back. ”
“ Authentic Mexican, very friendly staff and worth trying it is a small menu but great food. Highly recommended. ”
“ Great authentic food! Menu is shorter than most, but with the best items. The chips appear to be made in house, certainly not warmed chips from a bag! Our 7 year old preferred to order the two steak tacos over the kids meal. She devoured them both. I ordered the burrito which was superb. ”
