Outstanding cocktails. I didn't eat but the food did look amazing. I can speak to the margs and they were excellent.

Justin the bartender is amazing. Great service and super kind and fun Food was great and music on point. Ask for Justin at the bar. Can't miss him. read more

Me, wearing a skirt and super-femmy hair style: Excuse me, where is the bathroom? Waiter: It's at the end of the hallway and then turn to your left. Me: Thank you. The hallway: [is totally straight, with the men's room on the left and the ladies' on the right] Me, annoyed at being visibly trans: Ah. Anyway, the food was okay, I guess. Chicken tinga was okay, al pastor was dry and not terribly flavorful. Everything needed a touch more salt. read more

I went to the Cherry Creek location with my husband. I loved their tacos in all their varieties! My favorites were the al pastor and the shrimp tacos. Dana served us and recommended them, and I loved them! My husband also loved the margaritas. I will definitely be back. The place, Dana service, and the atmosphere are all perfect. read more

Stopped in to grab some lunch and I picked a pretty good day because it wasn't crowded at all. The staff was really friendly and at the time I visited, mask were required and social distant rules were in effect. I started with a margarita and the chips and salsa... which was amazing but one of the salsa dips were hot... it had my head sweating like crazy but I love spicy food so I was there for the punishment. For my main lunch, I went with the local favorites...Arrichera, Al Pastor and I wanted the Langosta but they were out. So I went with the Bacalao Al Pastor. While I had my mouth set on that lobster taco... I wasn't disappointed in the tacos at all. I will certainly be back becuase I want to try the Langosta. I thoroughly enjoyed the staff as they continued to check on me and to make sure if I needed another drink or just anything in general. Kudos to the staff and the bartender because that Margarita was on point! I highly recommend you give them a try and if you do, tell'em Drew sent ya! Y'all be Easy! Drew read more

What a cool place. Went with several colleagues from work for dinner. We ordered the chips, salsa and guacamole for the table. The four salsas that they served with the chips were very good and fresh. The 3 tacos that I ordered were excelente. I also ordered the side of rice and beans. The we're good but lacked flavor and definitely not worth $10. Our server was very good and very helpful with the menu and selection. read more

I was excited to try out their patio for dinner on a recent nice day, but unfortunately they didn't seem to want us to. We got seated by the host and then ignored for the next 25 minutes before we finally gave up. The patio was busy, but no one acknowledged us - even to bring water or take drink orders - despite servers walking behind us every couple of minutes. A weird, rude experience. read more

Tacos were flavorful and good portions of ingredients, chips and salas were good, and the margaritas were LARGE and delicious. Hit the spot and would go back. read more

This is one of the staple neighborhood tacos spots you can add to your list. It's casual with an upscale flare. There's a variety of tacos on your menu (including all the ones you'd typically predict and more that will catch you by surprise). Everytime I've visited, I've had good service. The tacos are yum and the margs are strong. The tacos are small street tacos which makes it perfect for a happy hour snack or stack up to create a full meal. read more

The Manager wouldn't help Our table was so tightly arranged that two members of our party physically couldn't pull their chairs out to sit down. When we asked the manager if the table could be shifted slightly to make room, we were met with a flat-out refusal: "We don't move tables." No attempt to find a solution, no concern for our comfort--just an unhelpful and dismissive attitude. Our only option was to leave without ordering. Pathetic! read more

Best tacos I've had in a while . Proper corn tortillas , massive amounts of filling and bursting with flavor . Definitely a great spot to stop with friends since they have a great selection of tacos and it would be fine to try and share a bunch of them . Lost star is for wonky tables and too-cramped inside seating. Also I don't recommend the guacamole or the salsas. Guac needed more seasoning and had an processed ice cream scoop quality . Salsa seemed a little less fresca and more quesa (and not in a good way) . Took away from the fresh and vibrant flavors that make Mexican food delightful. But definitely some for the tacos . read more

We were having a crappy day, so happy hour was in order. We had a great time here drowning our sorrows. The skinny marg was awesome, and the $5 pineapple shot was also tasty. In addition, we enjoyed $3 tacos and some guac, salsa, and chips. I would definitely return. read more

We had a great dinner at Machete! Veronica, our server, was the best!! We had great service, food and drinks! Highly recommend if you go to Machete to ask for Veronica read more

Machete has always been fairly pedestrian when it comes to food; it's saving grace being the drinks and service. Unfortunately, the bald guy who is bartending there (might be the bar manager, I'm unsure) is just an ass. Really poor experience with him-- very short, unhelpful, and sarcastic. Also, the bar top was a complete disgusting mess and I had to ask for a wet towel, to which he gave me, to clean it up myself. Do better bud. You're there to serve. read more

Finally had the opportunity to try this place out. Had 3 tacos, veggie, chicken, & carnitas. They were all flavorful but the carnitas were the best. Even though these are the size of street tacos they are hearty which was awesome. Once you order from here, be sure to walk over to Cerebral brewing after. read more

Horrible place! No hostess to sit us down. Waited and waited and nobody showed up. We sat ourselves, waitress had to be called to put our orders in. Summer, the waitress, didn't come one time to check on us if everything was ok. She had to be called to pay the bill. Ah! in a very hot day she didn't even bring a glass of water. Food very mediocre! Will NEVER come back! read more

The bartender, Justin, has been AMAZING for us this visit! He has been so attentive and listened to what we had going on! Thank you Justin for all you do! read more

Was not impressed with their customer service at all. So much so that I decided not to eat. I was with some older people that needed to stay to take their pills with food and could not wait for another table at a different restaurant. The server was very rude, made me feel like I was doing them a favor by coming to eat there. We could not have separate checks, even though we were at separate tables, because they add 15% gratuity to large groups. And the cherry on the cake? They would not let my mom keep a menu to peruse and order something later. It's such a little thing but my final straw. I hope yall have a better experience than I did. read more

This place is great! I moved here a month ago from San Antonio and my first goal was to find good tacos and Machete Tequila + Tacos delivers every time! It's a real chill place, the bartenders are friendly, and the tacos (and variety) taste amazing! I've found my local taco place read more

Amazing tacos and nice patio experience. I would recommend the salsa and the Al pastor tacos.

I came here on my 1st day in Denver for lunch. The weather was nice so we sat on the patio outside. Which it's always awesome to sit outside when the weather is nice, but we got sat at a bar, and the bar table was slightly slanted, so slightly inconvenient to eat on when you think the plate is going to slide off the table. There was 3 of us, so we decided on splitting the 12 taco plate for $49 deal (+$1 up-charge for the premium tacos) We got: - chips & salsa - al pastor taco - basic carne asada taco - lobster taco - carnitas taco I wish this place had free chips and salsa! But sadly not, we paid for the chips but they were the fresh made kind, so that was good. They had a variety of 4 salsas and all were pretty good, none were overly spicy. I enjoyed the al pastor taco with the pineapple in it. I think I liked it better than the carne asada one. Overall, tacos ranged from $5-7/each, so the best deal was def getting the platter and splitting it. I would say it is on the pricey side for tacos though. But they were tasty and they didn't skimp on the meat. read more

Spectacular taco spot! My fiancé and I have come a couple times now and their tacos do not disappoint. He got the Arrachera & I got the Pescado. DELICIOUS! Note, since it's COVID times- you must wear a face mask to enter. They are great about wearing masks themselves, provide hand sanitizer & clean tables in between seating guests. Can't wait to come again (: read more

I've been here a few times and their tacos are delicious. So are their drinks! The drink and taco menu is pretty extensive, so there's a lot to choose from. The interior has dimmer lighting but you're still able to see. However I wish it was just slightly brighter. Or you can just sit outside. Which I enjoy doing. The bar has outdoor seating. read more

The tacos are absolutely amazing! The chips and salsa are divine, the ambience is really nice, they always have great music playing. The staff is really nice too. It's always a nice experience. read more

Would recommend. They have really good tacos and I thoroughly enjoyed their birria tacos to be more exact. I will be stopping by again if I'm ever in the area. read more

Our bartender Justin was amazing! Best spicy Rico and service was top notch! Food is soooo good!

From the entrance - the host gave an attitude of misery, followed by sitting at the bar, the gentleman gave a bulldog face attitude! I myself, normally tell my employees if they don't want to work; take the fucken day off to recalibrate! The place was not even busy, and man, would I come back, absolutely fucken not! I'll stick to the downtown location! Oh, the food is great, but this time around it sat out before it got to me, and it was cold...... take your money elsewhere! This comes from a person that's been coming to this place for years..... miserable dinner experience this time around. read more

A lot of my friends have mentioned machete as being their go-to for tacos. I finally got around to trying it today, and I have a few thoughts. For starters, their drinks are STRONG. This is good because they are pricey as well. I think my margarita was 13 dollars? But again, with how strong it is you really wouldn't have more than 2. At least I wouldn't! This location was a bit small and cramped inside, but it had a fun vibe. We were placed at a small table right in the corner next to a speaker that played music for the restaurant, so it was suuuppperrr loud. On to the food - it was pretty good! The Queso fundido was my favorite. Server with chips, salsa, and tortillas. 10/10 on that. The tacos were just okay. My partner and I were not blown away. I lately, I've been on a hunt for my favorite birria tacos, and these were my least favorite. My husband had a barbacoa and Al pastor taco - he thought they were delicious! We got a side of rice as well and it did not disappoint. Overall, I'd recommend this spot. There are a ton of menu items to try. I think I may visit one of their other locations next time, though! read more

Cozy spot in Cherry Creek with outdoor seating - perfect for a sunny day! We didn't make it during happy hour but the deals looked great and we'll definitely be back! the guac came out cold and was smooth vs chunky/textured. the chips were piping hot and tasted very fresh. we also enjoyed the 4 different salsas and sauces that came with it! Al Pastor - my partner's fave, the pineapple was diced into small pieces so it wasn't too overpowering Quesabirria - cheese lovers, this one is for you! Arrachera Con Chile Relleno - comes with it's own mini chile stuffed with cheese! a ton of food for a tiny taco Lengua - my personal fave, a classic Barbacoa - the most tender meat out of all the ones we ordered I only wish we had more space in our stomachs for more tacos! They all came piled high with meat and toppings, you won't be disappointed! read more

The food will not disappoint . We ordered four different tacos, lengua, langostino, fish, costillo. And a chili rellanos. The Costello was so good I had to order another one. We order chips and they came with 4 salsas. Food was served very fast for a busy Saturday. We ordered margaritas and beers. We are from California and when my husband suggested Mexican food for the second time I thought no way. Glad we made it here, kinda got lost on our scooters, lol read more

The drinks were amazing!!! Super Vibey environment! Perfect place for date night and/or ladies night! Our server/Bartender Kerina was amazing, Lobster taco was amwesome, just a tad too much sauce(it was DROWNED in aioli) overall great experience & would revisit!!! Cons: Prices were a little on the high side...but let's be honest we are in Denver *The wait time on the bar. (Our drinks came out same as our food although, we ordered our drink 15 minuted before our food) *The ceviche was mad confusing/not my favorite or even close* plus, Not nearly enough Jicama chips. We requested more chips twice and they were never delivered ) read more

Every single taco was filled with amazing flavors. You will see pictures: al pastor, poc-chuc, Cordero, pollo rostizado, Langosta, and a special that I can't remember. I remember liking the pollo the least and enjoyed the poc-chuc. Honestly can't go wrong with of the options Service while seated outside was horrrrrendous!! We could not get our server to place our orders or close our tab for the longest time. read more

I love restaurants/Bars below street level. They just seem more authentic, have some grit. This place does not disappoint, damn goods Marg and Tacos, great servers too. The Arrachera Con Chile Relleno is amazing, cut some relleno and put it in the taco (is on the side) so good Pastor? Oh yeah. Cochinita Pibil is a close second. So juicy and flavorful. Tried the Tinga and enjoyed that as well. The surprise hit? Betabel. Wow. Roasted Beets/ Avocado-Habanero Puree/ Garbanzo BEans/ Hibiscus Tortilla. I am not a vegetarian and will order that every time. Try it. Really. Why not 5 stars? Acoustics. Concrete floor and metal ceiling. Walls are hard surface and glass behind the bar. Need some absorption. All sound is reflected over and over. Sit outside if you can. read more

Underwhelming and loud. I was struck by how flavorless everything was. 4 salsas? Flavorless. Beef and pork tacos were a greasy mess. Fish tacos tasted like one should remember they are in Colorado and not order them. Skip the place unless you wanted to drink the beer and yell at people near you (who still won't hear you). Don't bother. Good service. read more
