We came again and the food was still delicious as always. It was nice and calm in there, despiste our toddler who was a little wild lol. Our waitress Kay was very kind and attentive. I felt bad because I kept asking for things, but she was nice and ca about it. I recommend coming here. I think it was the manager who as I was walking out with my family was so nice, he greeted us when we came in and as we left. read more

Wow, disappointed Second time here. Wondering if I was lucky the first time or if today was a fluke. Based on my $100+ check, I won't be finding out... First time, food was delicious. This time, fish was undercooked Corn tortillas were cold and hard and ruined the filling . Flavor profile is awful The rice lacked salt and was mushy , too much water maybe? The white rice in my burrito was about 50% of it and had no flavor The yellow rice was like eating unflavorful mush. Overall, we wasted our appetites and money. My daughter didn't finish her meal. My husband didn't either. read more

The staff is very welcoming and positive attitude. My wife Churro Martini and I had a Peach Old Fashion. Both drinks were yummy. We started with the brisket queso, holy cow it was delicious. We shared the Cantina Crunch, extremely delicious. The crunch on the inside of flour tortilla was unexpected. Definitely worth it being a regular rotation of restaurants to visit. read more

I was very hungry one day so i decided to hit up macho taco. It was my first time there and i had no idea of what my experience would be like. The answer outstanding, my server (Tyrese) is him i mean bro was in his bag cookin up for me and the fam. And the food was pretty good. I 100% recommend Macho Taco! P.s shoutout to my boy Tyrese From Hudson read more

Got a to-go order and was really impressed. Packaged everything really nicely, even some green friendly containers. Walked right in and picked it up at the specified time no fuss. Honestly super pleased with how great everything came out and if we weren't in a rush would've loved to dine in here. The Avocado salad was a really winner. My wife had the idea to turn it into a taco with the side of tortillas and it was brilliant. The meat options are creative, I went with pork chimichurri on a burrito and really liked it. Good balance of toppings to proteins, didn't feel skimped out at all. read more

This review is for takeout only. We ordered food to-go on 7/26/23. It was ready in 25ish minutes. Unfortunately, they forgot chips and queso, but they were very pleasant when we called to get a refund on that. Here's what I had: - Guacamole ($10): Good! - Summer Salad ($14): Very fresh! Also had grilled pineapple, which was a nice surprise! - Beef Brisket Quesadilla with Side of Rice and Beans ($13 + $3): The brisket was delicioussss. We're from Atlanta and we read on the website about Chef Stephen's prior experience Fox Bros BBQ. He definitely does Fox Bros justice with the beef brisket quesadilla! The rice and beans were fine! Delicious food! I recommend! read more

Upon arriving the building looks very nice and renovated. Our server was kind and attentive and brought us chips and salsa right away. They serve a spicy and mild ish salsa. They were interesting with a charcoal taste and chips a little on the saltier side. Cheese dip is incredibly watery and dissipates on your chip once you dip it. Once we got the tacos they were pretty mid not special. Overall it's a nice chill vibe but the food is meh. Giving 3 stars because the server was great! If not it would be a 2 on food. read more

Placed order for delivery and everything was amazing. Burnt Ends Brisket Con Queso, Wings, Brisket Enchiladas, Ranch Chicken Tacos, Guacamole, and even the chips were outstanding. read more

Food was probably good but the flying gnats on the outside patio were terrible. I sent back my drink because of one landing in it. The flying bugs made it difficult to eat the food so we left without eating just half of it. Maybe they could add a fan or something outside to eliminate the issue. The extra charge for the rice and beans to make it a "plate" seemed excessive considering they were bland and not worth the extra charge. The chimichanga with the extra charge for steak was good but again we ate ate only half. read more

Great food, excellent service! Everything tasted really fresh. Everyone loved the queso. I ordered the avocado salad with grouper, which I would definitely order again. The rest of the family ordered a bunch of tacos: grouper, beef and brisket. Everything was great. We will come back the next time we are visiting. read more

Very good food! Quick service and friendly staff. Wish I could have tried more! Size of taco servings could be improved..although delicious $8 for a single taco was kinda steep. read more

Seriously, best service I have ever had!!!!! Food was delicious but ok. Chips and salsa were 10/10. I highly recommend this place. I don't think I've ever given a 5 star before but they earned it. read more

Stopped by for an early dinner at 4pm. Service was pretty spotty, we were one of the only ones in the restaurant and nobody greeted/seated us for a few minutes. Food was not great at all. Had a Baja burrito and quesadilla. The burrito had almost no guacamole and was very bland, probably the worst $15 burrito I've ever had. The quesadilla was better but still not great. The table next to us ate half their food then asked for the manager to take it back, they said "it was just not good". Pretty much sums up our experience too. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has good environment. There are only 2 tvs near the bar so if it is busy you may not be able to watch the game. read more

Wow the food was amazing! And the staff was fabulous. I'd go back just to see Rosalind. Do yourself a favor and have something with their brisket. read more

My husband and I really enjoyed the food here. I read some bad reviews but I believe they gave 1 star because they went in expecting original Mexican tacos. Maybe? Their food is original. Very different from the tacos I am used to but delish regardless. The queso dip was spicy and filling. The salsas yum! I ordered a salad and it was huge! Will definitely come back. The price for a taco can be a little in the high side. read more

While visiting Santa Rosa Beach, we tried this restaurant for the first time for lunch, but I wasn't impressed. We didn't have to stand in line to be seated. Their menu selection is quite limited. From 3-5 p.m., there is a happy hour. We began with guacamole and chips. The chips were fresh, but the guacamole was clearly canned. It wasn't fresh, which was a letdown. Then we ordered their nachos with chicken, which came with a generous portion, as shown in the photo below. Nachos, cheese, guacamole, cilantro, and sour cream are included. They tasted alright. Our chips were initially burned and overcooked, so we returned them. The next batch was better, but the nachos were extremely salty. It could have been the chicken seasoning or the salsa. I'm not sure, but I didn't care for it. I'm glad we didn't order anything else off the menu because this place didn't wow me. I don't think I'll come back here. The rest can be seen in the photos below. read more

The tacos were excellent! I really liked their salsa. Chips and salsa were complimentary. Good service. Will definitely be back.

Would definitely recommend. Lots of options that you don't get at your standard Mexican joint.

I came in town for a short work trip. This place was recommended by the hotel staff as somewhere to check out for not just fish tacos, but good tacos in general. Upon arrival, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Even the manager (maybe owner) stopped by to check how I was doing and to ask if I was enjoying my food. The complimentary salsa comes in regular and hot options (I got regular, great overall flavors and not huge chunks of onions, like I prefer). I then got the Caribbean blackened taco at the bartender's suggestion. Options are shrimp or fish (mahi mahi), I got fish. Great flavor on this as well. The second taco I ordered was the brisket burned ends Indian flatbread taco, which was also suggested by the front desk at my hotel. Great flavor on this taco, even though you may be thinking burnt ends is weird for a taco choice. Definitely order it, there is a large portion of burnt ends on it. The tacos may be a little higher than expected but for the amount of meat on these tacos, I think they're fairly priced. Excuse the Snapchat captions, but this place was too good to not include the picture. Definitely recommend if you want some cantina style Mexican food! If I come back to this area, I definitely want to visit again. read more

I have low expectations when I go to a Tex-Mex restaurant, but this place was undeniably great. We ordered the brisket queso which was delicious! Similar to a chorizo based, but sweet from the bbq sauce they cook the brisket in (per the chef who came to our table to check in on us). The Buffalocotacos were SO GOOD !!!! The shrimp was incredibly well fried and wasn't super greasy. It was delicious. We also got the chimichanga with pork belly. Super interesting mix of flavors. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area who wants to have really great Mexican food! read more

The food, drinks, and service was amazing! Michael was our waiter and he was great! Would definitely recommend this place for tacos and margaritas. read more

The staff was so nice and the food was incredible! I had the Macho Salad with grilled chicken and it was fresh and SO good. We are here for a few more days and will definitely go back. Chips and salsa are probably the best I've ever had. The restaurant itself is trendy and modern but still cozy. Outdoor seating is quite nice too. read more

The brisket nachos are my most favorite thing ever! The brisket was smoked to perfection. I also liked the Macho Margarita. Friendly staff, great service, beautiful art and a nice and big patio! read more

I really love giving good reviews especially for locals but I was so disappointed by our dinner here. We came on Valentine's Day around 6:15pm with our kids because my husband had a good lunch here in the fall and the place we typically go was crazy busy. There wasn't anyone at the front when we came in and there were 4 tables full. There was one server who was very kind and he sat us after a few minutes. We had an older woman bring us chips which were borderline stale and salsa but then we sat for 10 minutes waiting for even a water order. Our kids were crying from the salsa being hot and no one was in sight to get us drinks. The bartender was sitting at a table eating (during dinner service?) and would get up to make a drink then go back to his table to eat and sit on his phone while obviously the one server was having a hard time keeping up. We were told there was no pork belly or steak so that took out a good bit of the menu. We got quesadillas for the kids with fries (they're chips), my husband got the brisket burrito and I got the burgerdilla. The kids fries weren't cooked (we took them home to bake them in the oven), the beans in my husbands burrito were hard (not cooked) and my burger was a chorizo patty which was not stated on the menu. I really don't like chorizo at all and wouldn't have gotten it had I known. They did give us 50% off just the burrito because my husband couldn't eat it. Honestly, the whole time I kept thinking that they forgot they were supposed to be open that night or something. We even asked how long it had been open thinking that if it is under 2 years old then they still may be working on things but it's been open for 3 years. I hope we caught it on a bad night but we won't be back to find out read more

If I could give zero stars, if I could! Something has happened to this place from 18 months ago. I had the worst old-fashioned ever. My wife and I took one bite each of each of our tacos and it was a greasy mess. No flavor at all!!I We were charged full price for a meal we didn't eat and not even offered to take the tacos off of my bill. Please don't go to this restaurant! read more

Ate here previously and had good experience, but not this time. On May 28, came in for dinner at about 7:10pm and were sat immediately. Restaurant was less than 50% capacity, waited at table for 12 minutes, nobody ever greeted/served us.... There was a talented musician who went through three songs and then took a break. We decided to leave, went down the street to Redfish. read more

Wow! I mean wow! This place blew me out of the water I mean literally . The people are so kind and the food was amazing. Did not have the wait for our food for very long at all. They were always interested in refills and helping us out with anything we need. The ambiance was amazing. Great temperature inside!!! Everyone show them some love read more

We stopped here for a quick bite and they were closing early on account of the storm coming. We ordered our food to go from the bar tender. We ordered the full Macho Nachos with chicken and the steak quesadilla! They sent everything separately for the nachos so they didn't get soggy- so appreciated that! Everything was very good and very tasty! We would definitely go back!!! read more

Great Mexican Food. Nice and friendly staff. Can't wait to dine there again. Highly recommend the Elote and the macho burrito.

Five stars! Two thumbs up! The owner is lucky to have such great staff. And the food oh my God it was so good.. I had the steak burrito and the chicken quesadilla. It was too much food for me to finish it all, but I'm kind of happy to have some leftover for later. Very clean and warm inviting environment.! I'll definitely be back when I'm in this area again. read more

Food is fabulous! Everything is fresh, love the elote and the unique combinations of tacos!

Stopped in on a whim and was seriously impressed. The tacos were killer -- I had the brisket and pork belly, both were super flavorful. Queso was on point too. Chill spot, friendly staff, fast service. Felt like a perfect little beach town taco joint. Will 100% be back next time I'm in town. read more

This place blew me away. The service was top-notch from the moment we walked in--friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming. The food? Incredible. The Thigh Master tacos were honestly the best tacos I've ever had--packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and just the right amount of smoked meat. What really made the experience special was when the chef came out after our meal to personally check in and make sure we enjoyed everything. You can tell they take real pride in what they do. Between the food, the vibe, and the hospitality, this spot is an absolute must-visit. read more

Don't miss this hidden gem. The food is delicious with fresh ingredients, great atmosphere, kid friendly, and the servers are great.

The food was better than anticipated and the happy hour drink specials are some of the best I've ever seen, especially on a busy area like 30A. Service was very nice, waitress and manager both checked in regularly. Good vibes all around, nice patio deck. Would come back for sure. read more
