Machete Tequila + Tacos

Great experience! Came here at noon and the place was packed and bustling with business people having lunch. Ordered a pineapple margarita with a takin rim which was delicious. The guacamole and spicy sauces were great and you can tell they make their own chips, which I appreciate. Ordered the shrimp taco & birria taco - both delicious and filling. Service was great, very accommodating and quick!

Service was good and prompt. The food came out super quickly, which was awesome. I got the guacamole, which was good. The chips are thicker, almost like pita chips, and not super salty. Additionally, the queso was thick and not super melted but good. Vegetarian tacos were reportedly good. Machete margarita was NOT good. The waitress shared it had no mix and was just lime juice, tequila, agave, and triple sec (with no premade mix), but it simply didn't taste good. She brought sprite out to add a "mixer" of sorts, but it just watered it down and didn't make it better. I don't know if we just have poor taste in margs or what, but I couldn't even stomach to drink half. Atmosphere is dark and a little spooky, but I enjoyed the vibe.

So much tequila!! This place is cute and hip. The prices are really steep tho. That's one of the downfalls. And the drinks are little and not very strong to be $17. So in that aspect I was disappointed. With the prices so high when dining out-you don't want to feel taken advantage of. The food was decent,but also very high prices. $18 for a shrimp quesadilla. The server was nice and had some great recommendations. I would still come back....and keep it to a one drink minimum!

Great tacos and even better margaritas. Grabbed a bite here on the recommendation of a friend after leaving union station. Tacos are packed full of flavorful ingredients and will definitely fill you up. Service was attentive. Dug the overall vibe of the place and would certainly return next time I find myself in Denver.

Had a quick lunch here, the vibe is very vibrance despite the dark interior. Service was very fast. I'd say the chip were the star of the show, its the type that taste less corny (if you know you know). All the salsas were really bland in my opinion. But the queso fundizo with chorizo was really good! A tastey snack size I must say. But other than that the taco as well as quesadilla was very mid. I'd recommend come for snacking and not meals.

I went for lunch with coworkers and the restaurant was busy which was expected of Union Station. The inside was a little... interesting? My 2 complaints are the chairs were wobbly and it took us 20 minutes to get the check which was a bit annoying. We got a chips and guac and a Taquiza (12 tacos in the picture) containing 2 Arrachera, 1 Campechano, 3 Al Pastor, 1 Quesabirria, 1 Tinga, 1 Pescado, 1 Camaron, 2 De La Milpa. The chips and guac were fresh and home made. I thought they were both awesome and loved the thickness and crunch of the chips paired with the creamy guac. I had the Arrachera, Quesabirria, and Campechano tacos. The Arrachera and Quesabirria were average and lacked salt but the Campechano was so good! I think the chorizo in it really brought out the flavor with the saltiness. Overall I would go again and try the Al Pastor because my coworkers said those were the best they tried.

Got into Denver on the A-train from the airport and was starving! Saw Mechete right across the street from Union Station. This is a must eat at place! The menu is large and incredible. They also have many options for those with cerrtain dietary needs (gluten free, vegan). If you like margarita's they have the best hands down! I go the cadicallac which has a topper of grand marnier. YUM. We started out with the Guacamole appetizer. This is not your little appetizer! Not only did it come with guacamole (super good) it comes with a taster of different salsas! Must start! I picked the 3 vegan tacos (one needs to be w/out cheese) and they were packed with veggies and it is so filling! MENU NOTE: my partner got the Calma Borracho. This is really a shareable and not a single meal! It is huge! and a ton of food! Eat local. Go to Machete's and grab a marg and taco's!

Delicious tacos! Came after doing a microbrew tour so we were pretty hungry. Ordered 3 tacos and they were incredibly good. The chips and salsas were all good. Guacamole was fresh. The drinks were okay, nothing crazyThe bartenders were nice and attentiveDefinitely recommend for some tacos done right in Denver.

This place has a cool vibe and the drinks were great but not cheap. Our waiter was friendly and attentive.
