Machete Taqueria

My husband and I LOVE this place! We come here for dinner quite often, but last weekend we finally tried their breakfast. I got the breakfast burrito and it was absolutely delicious. For dinner, I really enjoyed their soup and my husband enjoys the empanadas. Not only is the food delicious, and homemade right in front of you, but it's also very reasonably priced.

First off I'm giving the ambiance of this place 5 stars The service 5 stars The food 3.8 stars Let me explain So from the outside this place looks decent. But when you walk in, everything opens up with the immediate inside a bit small, but an entire back patio that is gorgeous! As I said, the inside is a bit small but quaint and cozy, and the outside would be perfect for a nice little date night or just a nice time to relax outside. The back is gated in which is good because it's a corner lot that receives a bit of air so it protects against too much air. They have tomato plants growing in the back which adds the authentic vibes of this establishment. All in all - it's a clean, organized and vibey spot. The service was professional and to the point to which I have no complaints. The woman at the counter explained a few menu questions I had at the beginning very well and we were on our way to sit wherever we like. The food was good. I had the shrimp tacos and mom had the flautas. We both felt both plates were safe and lacking flavor. The presentation was perfect on both plates, although the flavors didn't quite compliment the presentation so that was a bummer. But that's a small fix in my opinion. On the other hand, the red and green salsas provided for guacamole and chips and the plates was probably one of the best salsas I've had in a long time. They were very bright, zesty, with a nice tang and bit of heat which was perfect. The salsas actually brought the flautas and the shrimp tacos to life which was the caveat to the whole thing. So if you're looking for a nice, inexpensive vibey little spot with good food - this place is worth a try. All in all, the only thing it's missing is a bit of love on the flavoring of the meat options The

Machete is a well kept secret!The beer is served in ice cold glasses.They make delicious fish tacos and I love the black beans. There is a small patio with good sunlight and heaters.It's a small place with mighty great flavors

Food and service are consistently good, no matter what you order. I'm not vegetarian but their squash tacos are delicious. The patio is a great place to eat.

A must try! The breakfast burritos are incredibly well priced and come with a cup of the most delicious coffee I've had so far. The back patio is lovely and serene in the mornings. Well kept, tidy and the staff is friendly and patient. I will be back again! It looks like they have a happy hour from 3-5, can't go wrong with that!

Love Machete! Everything here is delicious and people are always friendly. Beer on the patio? Yes please! Before I tell you all the good stuff, know that this isn't fast food. You order at the counter and they make it fresh. So plan in advance to spend more than half hour here. Get a beer or sangria and have some nice conversation while you wait.They specialize in seafood and I haven't had any (vegetarian). My son has gotten the ceviche. It's a generous portion and ie beautifully plated. He said it was delicious.Tacos de Papa are really good! I like that a lot of their menu lets you choose the dish and then choose your protein or main component. And they have two veggie options! I have only had the mushrooms and they're fabulous! On the torta, the flavor soaks through the bread. So good!They have breakfast that you can get all day! How great is that? The juevos revueltos (scrambled eggs with potatoes ham and cheese) is tasty. You can get standards like breakfast burrito and juevos rancheros. There's also a breakfast torta. I'm partial to the mullette, bread with black beans and cheese. Simple, delicious, and enough for two meals. They do catering too! You need to inquire with the manager. We had a taco bar and horchata at a party and got rave reviews!

My food and drinks were served incredibly fast and nice and cool inside. The gentleman who took my order was lovely and helpful. Love the ambience and turquoise wall, the food is amazing. Definitely offered new flavors for me and I will definitely return. The drinks are cold and delicious. They mostly offer beer, but I drink the sangria as you know, I love my wine and I was very satisfied.

First time here. The place was extremely clean, ambient was very nice and the food was very well made and above average. They had a large selection of food and we decided to pick all different dishes to try them out. My daughter had the tacos de papa, my son had a torta de asada, my wife the huarache and I had the shrimp burrito in addition to that we shared a machete de asada and they were all nicely plated and well made. BTW they all came with a side of our choosing and we had esquite and beans. The service was nice, there was a BD party outside in the garden and they had a DJ and were kind enough to share their Nothing bunt cake with my kids. Inside the place you could not hear a peep of the music which was also nice for the people inside. Highly recommended!

I honestly don't do many reviews, but I had to for this place. Their ceviche culichi was hands down the best I've ever had. And I've worked for multiple Mexican restaurants and even lived in San Diego for a while where all the seafood is great, but this place definitely gives them a run for their money. Excellent service and super fresh tasty food. Will be back!

You can't order tacos A La carte,only the tiny mini tacos ! I asked If I could get a machete taco or the taco papas A la carte and was told no! I have to order the platter . Then asked if I could mix a platter one machete taco with a potato taco again I was told no! Then I was told it would take 30 mins for an order ! Uh only 2 ladies ahead of me it's 1pm in the afternoon , no line of people waiting !! And no explanations! Why have a taco shop if you don't offer all of your tacos a La carte ?!!unbelievable! By the way... check out their prices so overpriced ! Wont be back !
