Machete Azteca Estilo DF

I love the food, but the location is a bit sketch! The service is good and fast. I've been coming since I was a little girl

Hmmm..interesting.Well, I didn't find the taco truck I was looking for..and then I remembered that I just seen that(this) machete spot. So I stopped in..Ordered me ONE at first. Then another ONE!

Yelp community, that it will have a MACHETE!!! Picture..and not one of Danny Trejo..lol

This is my go to place to have a meal whenever I step into the Mercado de los Cielos food court. They specialize in machetes, which are best described as a long folded tortilla (you can choose between maíz and flour) filled with your meat/vegetable of choice, cheese, and a green salsa. I go for the machete de asada or bistec, both are delicious. Choose maíz! They also sell aguas frescas (my favorite is jamaica) or sodas. To the side they have extra red salsa and a guacamole-like salsa to add more flavor to your meal. They are a *little* spicy. If you don't want salsa in your food, you can go for the quesadilla filled with your protein of choice.

"GEM ALERT"This is NOT your average Mexican Restaurant they have something different to offer.This IS casual authentic style "Mexican City Mexico" style food.This is NOT a fancy place. You are only here for the food.The specialty of the house might be the namesake dish called the Machete.The Machete is a house made corn tortilla that is SO LARGE it doesn't fit on a plate and is served on a PLATTER. The humungous tortilla comes in about a dozen varieties and comes stuffed with a thick blanket of mild melted cheese and arrives folded. Some of the varieties are seldom offered at most Mexican Restaurants in the valley like the squash blossoms and the huitacoche (Mexican Truffle also called Corn Smut that is considered a delicacy)I had the Huitacoche Machete. At the time of this review it was only $7.99 so I didn't think it would be that large but it was enough to feed 2-3 people and I had to take half home after sharing some. It was very tasty, very good and generously filled. The Huitacoche was a more sweet, more textured kind less earthy kind than I ate in Mexico. It was mixed with sweet corn and was very interesting. I also had a Chicken Taco ($1.75) I knew it would be street sized because of the price. I liked that the house made double tortillas were hot and steamy and tasted just like the fresh ones from the tortilla factory in Mexico. The taco differed in flavor from a Jalisco Style Taco. It was a much milder tasting taco.Three sauces were offered to most people in the restaurant with the dishes but due to how busy they were we only got to try one sauce that had a little kick to it and it helped the taco out.My husband had the Huaraches with Chorizo. It was a giant platter that looked similar in size to the Machete but served open face and also came with lots of melty mild cheese.I warn you that the menu is written in Spanish but it's pretty easy to figure out what is what because of the pictures on the menu.On out visit the atmosphere was extremely loud. Mexican Music is blaring outside the building and inside is Mexican Television blaring and you hear both at the same time.On our visit they were very busy with non stop take out orders and every booth was filled with customers. Considering how busy they were I thought the service was very efficient and friendlier than I was expecting.This place should be on your bucket list if you like interesting food.I recommend ordering a Machete or a Huarache.Parking is easy they have their own large lot.

Food is alright and all but the servers are not that clean with everything going on. Taking cash in bare hands,to serving and touching everything and even hand serving the veggies onto the food. No gloves or anything to serve it with and not once did the hands get washed. Grabbed used salsa bottles from one dirty table and put it on the new family that walked in. Not once did they get wiped. Other server girl kept wiping and pinching her nose the entire time and grabbing limes and all with that same hand not washed or gloves worn. (Eat at own RISK) walked out and bamb got the .

I loved the tacos dorados (flautas) here, it was delicious. The service was really good

The tamarindo water it's super sour not even sweet .. food it's 1/3 its dry and there's is no refund .. taste before you buy ...

First time going to this place i ordered a huarache de asada to begin i recieved it in a pizza box which is unprofessional and for as big as the huarache was i got half of the meat on there .And the guacamole i recieved was brown

The lady seemed excited to offer us her menu and when it was time to order, she was very rude. We asked for suggestions and her response was i don't know. To top it off, she forgot about our order. 4 numbers were called before ours and she said it was a busy day. The food was very mediocre. On the colder side and not very flavorful. I waited 30 minutes for her to hand me two cokes. Extremely disappointed

I honestly think the food here is amazing. Fresh food and the customer service isn't bad either. The ice cream is expensive but I guess because it's not store bought.
