    Located within Armature works, at the far right end of the food hall. The service was quick considering it was Saturday lunch hour. I ordered the Birria tacos, which comes with your choice of mild, medium or hot sauce. I choose mild, then after asked if they can put some hot on the side as I wanted to give 1 of the tacos to my husband to try with the hotter sauce. They added $2 to the bill, which I politely had them remove immediately. Wasn't happy about that up charge. Anyhow, I was recommended that this place would beat my favorite Birria taco spot in Brandon, so welcome to a showdown. The 3 Birria tacos here for $16, is $1 more expensive than my fav spot. The tacos are smaller here, less meat and cheese, and had a tortilla deep fried aspect that wasn't too shabby. Gave it a nice crunch. However you kinda lose sight of that with the oily broth and taco meat. The flavor was good, I didn't even taste the mild sauce, the birria broth was also flavorful but a bit too greasy IMO, and the side of salsa condiment (included) was the only thing I would say was amazing. Overall it IS a good birria taco but doesn't come close to topping LCT (acronym). The overall ambiance is food hall, always well kept and plenty of seating. So to answer the magic question if I would return or not, yes I would but only if I was at the food hall already. They are a good Birria taco and better than many other places.

    Muchachas truly stands out when it comes to the delivery of a great tasting and reliable meal as it stands to the surrounding competition at Armature Works - that latter statement doesn't come lightly as there are some big heavy-hitters when it comes to great food. Their Quesatacos slaps like none other, producing a passionate re-imagination of the traditional birria tacos. The fusion of the cheese, onions, and cilantros along with the birria meat which is then sandwiched between the fried tortilla stack is a wonder within itself. A small bowl of birria dip is paired with these tacos to create an amazing dish like none other. Each bite captures the flavor of the "au jus"-style dip, the tenderness of the meat, and the crunchiness of the tortilla. Along with the flavors, the quesataco truly gives the foodie an around-the-world experience in one dish. ...and oh yes, their other menu items, which I am sure are great options as well. On approach, Muchachas almost takes on a Chipotle vibe when it comes to their assembly line. However, the wait is worth it while each of their staff members are incredibly pleasant and friendly which makes the entire transaction great. All-in-all, Muchachas is truly a staple of the Armature Works complex. I highly recommend Muchachas as your option to go with as you will not be disappointed!

    Counter service with great places to eat inside and out

    The quesa-tacos are the specialty and were very good. They were a bit more greasy that I would like but that must come from a bit of bushy use when they cook them on the grill. Gotta say though .... It's worth the indulgence and they were VG! Staff was super nice

    The birria tacos were excellent. Very meaty & cheesy. The service is quick. The line goes by very fast. They give you a buzzer to alert you when your order is ready. Lots of people working back there, however, appears very efficient service. They let you know they have napkins & plasticware. Counter area is clean & gives you clear view of the soft drinks they serve.

    Birthday tacos on a Tuesday 2/4/25

    There's a reason the line is crazy at peak hours! I went twice while I was in town even though there were plenty of restaurants in Tampa I wanted to try out. The quesabirria tacos might just be the best I've ever had. I loved them so much. Super messy, super good. If you aren't familiar with Armature Works, (muchachas is inside) it's a food hall (home town equivalent Reno Public Market) but this one sits on the water of Tampa Bay, there is a ton of seating inside and out but it still gets busy as this is also near the riverwalk. It looked like a lot of people in front of me were ordering like you would at Chipotle where they make it right there and you get it at the end immediately, mine I had to wait for a minute to be cooked. Would 10/10 recommend.

    Burrito
    Remi W.

    We ordered through uber eats. We had the queso, guac, a burrito, and 3 tacos. Our food was okay. It wasn't bad by any means but I would never recommend it to someone or tell them they needed to go here. The queso and guac portions were quite small and there were not enough chips either. Not a bad experience but no reason to go back.

    Skylar W.

    Pretty good burrito bowl! Staff was super friendly. I got ground pork, rice, peppers & onions, cotija, and a lime cream sauce. It was delicious and a very standard portion of food. I like that I could just go through the line and choose my toppings.

    Birria walking taco
    Ebonie C.

    If you haven't tried a walking taco, then this is the best place to try for the first time. Their hefty portions make this dish shareable with a friend! There's so many toppings like fresh guac, beans, cojita cheese and more! I was kinda worried about the crushed Doritos but it actually pairs great with the whole meal! I can't wait to visit again and try their other offerings. Service was quick despite the long line and it's housed inside of a food hall with lots of seating inside or outside in the beautiful weather

    Nachos

    We ordered Birria nachos with a plethora of toppings. The nachos were fresh, birria seasoned well, and the guacamole was just perfectly smooth. The man working at the counter gave me exceptional service, was incredibly kind and was very patient with my incompetence. The ambiance was really nice, I loved the vibe. When I visit Tampa again I'm def coming back..

    Great service, delicious tacos and really yummy salsa. You really can't go wrong here!!!

    Muchachas Build Your Own Bowl
    Maura C.

    With so many different food options available inside of Armature Works, it can sometimes feel a little chaotic to know what type of food you want. On this day in particular, I wanted something that was fast and fresh. I came across Muchachas, and it not only looked delicious, but I love places where you can build your own bowls. I chose a rice base with chicken, roasted corn, pico de gallo, guac, cheese, and just a drizzle of avocado crema, which was highly recommended to me by the staff member preparing my bowl (and it was a great choice, might I add). The portion size was great and definitely sharable or can even be saved for lunch the next day. The rice was restocked right before I ordered, so my bowl was extra hot. The guac was delicious and very fresh tasting, which paired well with the other flavors in my bowl. The next time I have Muchachas I would love to try their queso. There was a small line, but it moved quickly and the service was great. I would definitely recommend this spot for a quick and yummy meal.

    Big Ole Burrito
    Edward M.

    Inside of the popular Armature Works near the Riverwalk. I don't think I've ever walked into this place, and it has not been crowded. It was my first time trying this place. The line moved fast, and putting together this monster burrito was even faster. You have your choices like you would at Qdoba or Moe's. Make it as big or small as you want. They have a good selection of soft drinks. If you care to have something a bit stronger, there are several bars inside. Lastly, seating is a premium, especially on the weekends. The best thing is, if you're able, find a seat first and have someone hold it for you. It can also be a bit loud inside. Outside is a good choice too as they sometimes have live music. But again, seating is a premium. Overall, it was a tasty creation and very filling. Go there if you have a big appetite.

    Brittany S.

    Yes yes and yes! The BEST walking taco I've ever had. For $16, it feeds two perfectly. They allow you to pick exactly what you want in it which is perfect for those with dietary restrictions. We got the birra steak and it was bomb! So tasteful and craveable.

    Loved the upscale Mexican atmosphere of this restaurant. The decor was very nice throughout…read more Depending on your mood, there were many places to dine in the restaurant, from the lounge areas to the main dining room. All was inviting, and a great way to remove yourself from the very busy atmosphere of the Marriott lobby which was crowded. We sat at the bar since we loved to be surrounded by the activity of the place. We started off with their special spicy margarita and ceviche. Loved that it was more Peruvian style, and not the tomato based one. More my preference of the lime taste. Then for dinner my husband had the strip steak, and I had the chicken fajitas. Both were flavorable, especially the sides, especially the corn cake type side, that were served with the strip steak. Both were seasoned well. My husband's flank steak, though delicious, was overcooked. The bar tender was attentive and answered all our questions about the menu, and provided some great suggestion including which entrees were most popular and also her favorites. Definitely will come back. Will also order the carne asada again but make sure to tell the server to cook the steak more medium rare than medium.

Horrible horrible horrible!!!!

    I made an OpenTable reservation for 7 pm thinking it would be busy on a Friday night, but the…read morerestaurant was basically empty. Despite the lack of a crowd the service was still slow! We were sat at a high top table and it took almost 20 minutes before our waiter came to the table. Another hostess actually came by with waters and apologized for the wait before our waiter came to take our order. My partner and I ordered the table side guac, 3 street tacos, and a steak enchilada. We also ordered a Pacifico beer and my partner got a passion fruit iced margarita (slushee). When the waiter brought the drinks it was a completely different margarita. My partner ordered the drink with tajin and the other margarita came out with salt. That was the first giveaway that this was about to be a bad experience. The table side guac was disappointing. I'd had it 4 years prior and was excited but it just didn't live up to how I remember it. He gave us the option for mild medium and spicy - we chose medium but it had no spice in it at all. We had to ask for more salt because it wasn't salty enough. The avocados were not ripe, and he didn't use any lime juice. And finally, towards the end of the meal I was chewing and part of the avocado peel was still in the guac. Quite an unpleasant surprise. The steak enchilada was okay. The steak was a little tough and I think the cheese on the enchilada was melted mozzarella - it was similar to pizza...as an enchilada... My partner thought the street tacos were okay but for the price point of $25, probably not worth the cost. All entrees come with beans and white rice - I needed to add salt to mine, but it was fine. The table seated behind us was very close to us and we could hear their entire conversation. The guy specifically said "I never eat the side of rice and beans here because it's not very good". The service was okay. Our waiter was very low energy and rather muted for an early Friday night. It's possible he had a long shift or a long day, so I'm willing to cut him some slack, but in the service industry, I think I'd appreciate a positive attitude. This dude clearly did not want to be on the clock. Finally, the restaurant didn't notify OpenTable that I arrived for my reservation so now I have to explain to OpenTable that I did actually attend and I wasn't a "no-show" for the reservation. Bit of a waste of my time. I came because I heard Westshore is closing and was hoping for a fun date night with my partner. I'm glad to know I'll never be going back and I probably shouldn't have tipped 20%.
