I understand why this place gets so many great reviews. Located in the Shallowford shopping plaza with Publix near the highway. Plenty of parking. Seating: even though seating is limited, you can sit at the bar or at a table. Staff: superb. Very pleasant. Food: came out rather quickly. I had the chicken fajitas. Went during lunch time. And it was $10.99. Great portion. I love when an establishment charges differently between lunch and dinner. Taste was good. Wasnt salty of overly flavored. Decent portion size. Menu: is typical. Checkout: contactless Decor: nice, clean and several TVs. I will be back to try other menu items. read more

So happy to have tried this new Taco spot. I'd say these were tasty. We tried three typed: Asada (Steak), Chicken, and Chochinita (Pulld Pork) My favorite was the Chicken Taco. Others preferred the Chochinita-- I was told that's the most popular one too. They were tasty tacos and seemed authentic! I was not a fan of the flavors of the Asada Taco. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I'd go back if I was in the mood for fast, easy Tacos one night. read more

Many thanks to whoever made this recommendation, because I instantly fell in love with Machete. The food was outstanding, and service was impeccable. Staff her worked hard enough to warrant white-glove service. They spared no effort to make sure we were well taken care of. Did I mention the food? There's a lot more than tacos going on here. My wife had the enchiladas rojas. Absolutely delicious combination of beef and their red sauce was outstanding. Staff was able to accommodate her desire to avoid anything too spicy. She loved that dish. I had the pollo con champiñones. Good ol' chicken with mushrooms. Delicious. And the portion was huge. Totally hit the spot. Machete is in a strip mall, but the inside is very clean, well-appointed, and comfortable. You can sit at the bar if you like. You might find me there. read more

Food was good...not great, but good. Freshly prepared. Reasonable portions--not small but definitely not oversized either. Biggest plus--the staff was VERY friendly and helpful. They didn't have a lot to offer my vegetarian wife on the menu (basically three entrees and two starters) but were willing to customize whatever we wanted. The service was actually good enough I think it could have made up for bad food if that's what we were serving! Ambiance was quaint. About 9 tables. Nothing special but clean and friendly. read more

The staff made the evening so much more than expected. We were actually having a bite near there and saw a glowing Yelp review so we decided to forgo entrees at one of other favorite spots and check this place ou and boy were we glad we did! We suggest you take a leap of faith and have a bite in a strip mall - you will be pleasantly suprised :) read more

Great addition to the neighborhood! Chicken fajitas were well-seasoned with tasty onions and green bell peppers. Fresh pico, refried beans with cheese, and moist corn tortillas were great compliments to the fajitas. Vegetarian enchiladas had fresh vegetables, and we modified to have with a red sauce. Fish taco was fresh tasting and came with cabbage slaw and mild green salsa and spicy red salsa. Elote came coated with Parmesan cheese and spices. We will be coming back soon! read more

My order: 1 fish taco 1 asada taco 1 steak quesadilla w/ rice and salad also come with pico and sour cream My take: The only 2 items I enjoyed were the fish taco and the rice. The steak quesadilla tasted like it had kraft yellow cheese on it. It was so bad, no lie. The asada taco was dry...like really really dry. I was highly disappointed because the reviews said this place was authentic. I've had gas station Mexican food better than this place. Maybe it is in a gas station idk I ordered via uber eats. 2/5 stars. I wouldn't order again. read more

I only recently found this gem of a restaurant. It's a cozy place so get there early for lunch, but, if you don't, you will find the wait is worth it. The food is exceptional, the owner is hands on, the service staff doesn't miss anything. The prices are very normal, especially in these times. My friend and I went for a taco Tuesday and we definitely were not disappointed. We will be back. Please support this neighborhood restaurant! read more

Great service, food was fresh and hot. House made chips were crispy with just the right amount of salt. Salsa had a light smoky/chipotle flavor and I would drink it out of the bowl! read more

I was driving by and noticed their Machete sign, so swung around to give it a try. The spot is new and we were instantly greeted by the Owner or maybe Manager. He gave us a run down of the place. We ordered a few different tacos - chicken, fish, shrimp, and pork. They were all prepped with obviously fresh ingredients and had a great crunch! I will for sure be back as Carlos has great plans for this spot. Check them out! read more

Pleasant surprise. Had tortilla soup and enchiladas verde split with my spouse. Great conversation with the owner who is from Cozumel. Look forward to trying Taco Tuesday and chilaquiles. Will be back soon. Service was great and place had a nice friendly vibe to it. read more

Amazing food. I think this is my favorite inside the permitter. Great flavor and reasonable prices

My husband and I enjoy the fish tacos, street corn, and especially the chips and salsas! Friendly and fast service.

We were skeptical at first, because the restaurant name didn't sound like the food would be authentic, but we were greeted with friendly faces and were offered a sit-in deal. It just happened to be Tuesday, so we got the Taco Tuesday specials ($2.50/taco), but you only get the deal if you dine in. The music was genuinely enjoyable and the place looked clean and welcoming! 100% recommend this spot! We had the JUICIEST elotes (street corn) we've literally ever had (I mean juice squirted all over my boyfriend's face ) It was a delightful and unexpected, and spontaneous experience. Give them a try, you won't regret it! read more

Great staff and the food was really good. Nice sized portions at a reasonable price. Glad to have them as an addition to the neighborhood! Will definitely be back! read more

I am so excited to find a great Taco spot so close to home! The tacos were authentic, everything is fresh and the price is right! The staff were really great also! Looking forward to my next visit!!! read more

I have been here a few times and this is our newest favorite Mexican place in the area. Fantastic tacos, guacamole, and quesabirria. The service is prompt, friendly, and the cost is reasonable. Highly recommend giving Machete a try. read more

A much needed addition to this Shallowford Rd shopping center! Tacos were flavorful and reasonably priced. Service was quick and friendly. I will definitely look forward to exploring the rest of the menu. Loved the shrimp taco and the salsa verde that they serve with the tacos. read more

We really enjoyed our meal. The service was attentive. I had a chicken taco and a pork one, others had quesabria tacos and pollo Mexicano. Tacos were delicious. We also got $5 margaritas on the rocks. Definitely a repeat! read more

Awesome and authentic. So good and so fresh. We weren't expecting something this good, but we were pleasantly surprised. This will be a regular place for us. read more

Placed a mobile order via Yelp and the corn was so dry! I find it hard to believe the corn was prepared the same day, not a drop of juice in it and it had begun to shrivel up badly. Tacos were dry as well! The week before my order it was perfect...which is why I placed a group order and invited my colleagues to try it as well. The food was not good at all this visit and I really felt bad for wasting my co-workers money. I could tell they were as 'underwhelmed' as I was. It was a huge difference from the week before. I was really excited to have this restaurant in the neighborhood, I live 5 mins away but I won't be going back. We threw almost all of it in the trash except for a few bites and we only ate that bc we were all starving. It's sad that this spot would sell products that aren't fresh...you lost what would have been loyal customers. See the pic below, we spent $67!!! read more

The best tacos in the area!!! Amazing customer service, I go here every week. It never disappoints. Their queso is delicious

Limited menu. Food is average, not worth the price. Our server had sweat dripping from his forehead and chin and huge sweat soaked armpits. GROSS. read more

Carlos and his staff was great! Customer service was top tier. Frozen marg was great and the tacos were delicious.

Our new favorite Mexican restaurant! My husband and I have been here several times, and the food is always very fresh and very tasty. I love that there are so many unique dishes to try and not just the same offerings you find at every other Mexican restaurant. Great service and extremely friendly staff, too! read more

Great customer service, food was really good and the restaurant was clean and nice. We will be back to try some more items !

Great new neighborhood eatery at Shallowford Publix shopping center. Owner/Chef greeted us and explained unique story of duplicating his brothers 20 year experience at Cazumel. All fresh ingredients go into creating foods from scratch at the restaurant. Magical ambiance and heavenly creations. read more

BEWARE!! this place is right down the street from where I live and when I ordered carry out, the guy added a $5.00 charge to the carry out bill. WHAT?? I walk in and say hey, there must be something wrong because the math on my bill does not add up. The guy then proceeds to shove the receipt in front of me, and says, yeah,, its thirty dollars..like there it is, so pay it. My response, is why? What is that for? The reply was, "well, we ARE a DINE IN ESTABLISHMENT and we promote THAT.." In other words NOT what you are doing. My response was, "well, its not a very big dining area in here, there are not that many tables. I should have turned and walked out, but I am not that mean. He says "It's normal now to add that.. because that is what places are doing now.. I was BEYOND LIVID.. and told him that I WOULD NOT BE BACK, and to enjoy the five dollars. I was excited to have a taco place right by the house and I am disappointed beyond belief. read more

This place is delightful! The staff are so friendly, the owner came out to chat, everyone was exceptionally cool. Food is very authentic --often your typical taco joint--and very very good. Cannot recommend highly enough. read more
