    We stopped at Taqueria Machetes on Sunday before driving back to Houston from Fredericksburg. First things first--the guacamole was amazing. We kept going back to the salsa bar for more because it was that good. This is not a full-service restaurant. You walk in, order at the counter, get a buzzer, grab your food, eat, and head out--very casual and straightforward. Definitely more of a quick stop than a sit-down dining experience. I ordered the chorizo breakfast taco, and it was tasty and huge. Honestly, I should've just ordered one taco because it was very filling. The barbacoa taco, however, was not for me. The meat was very fatty and still had connective tissue, which wasn't visually appealing, so I didn't eat it and ended up giving it away. Overall, the guacamole and chorizo taco were the highlights for me. If you're stopping through and want something quick before hitting the road, it's worth checking out--just be mindful of what you order.

    10/10, so glad we found this place while walking in downtown Fredericksburg! Everything we got was amazing! Loved my burrito with that avocado crema sauce. The corn was so good. My hubby loved his tacos, the lengua was his fave. The owner and staff were all super nice and it definitely feels like a family owned business. Will definitely return on our next visit to Fredericksburg.

    This place is legit. The salsa bar is immaculate and very generous with several options including aguamole (& guacamole!) along with some spicy traditional salsas and a pico de gallo. They have a well stocked bar with several choices of Mexican spirits and cervezas. I really enjoyed my birria torta and my colleague got some sort of nacho looking plate: but it looked huge and he said the pastor was delicious. The service was friendly and we will definitely return when back in Fredericksburg. It's awesome that they have a proper taqueria that's so accessible right on the main drag in walking distance to everything. It's definitely in the style of some Mexico City taquerias I've visited: with the tiles, clean kitchen, and streamlined atmosphere.

    Michelada was good

    Man this place did not disappoint came from Dallas to visit and sightsee and found this gem and boy it was amazing. The food was fresh and hot. But the salsas were freaking amazing. The staff was great very friendly and polite. The ambiance was great great Spanish music playing loud enough to enjoy and low enough to talk. Great place a good place to come and eat.

    Awesome watermelon jalapeño margaritas and breakfast tacos. Friendly counter service. Tantalizing salsa bar. Good spot to take a rest and enjoy some legit tacos.

    Chorizo Taco

    This place was exactly what I wanted from a small taco spot on Main Street. As you walk in you instantly know what you're getting. A high quality, juicy, flavorful masterpiece. The chairs were comfortable, the walls were decorated with paintings and lights. And best of all nothing was sticky! The staff were kind and very thoughtful when ordering, they were patient when I was tho king what to order. And finally the food, the best part of the whole experience. I ordered a Chorizo Taco, and when I say this is one of, but not the best tacos I've ever eaten. The juice of the meat was just oozing out of the taco giving it a nice flavorful texture to the meat. My only gripe with this restaurant is that I didn't get more. Overall this place deserves its 5 stars, and I want to go back already!

    The breakfast tacos weren't my favorite (too much egg), but the street taco options for lunch and dinner made up for it.

    I genuinely wanted to like Nurys on Main. I really did. Hope springs eternal, especially in…read moreFredericksburg, where good food is usually a sure bet. Unfortunately, this experience felt less like a restaurant opening and more like a dress rehearsal no one stopped. First problem: location confusion. We went to what turned out to be their second spot--which, crucially, was not called Nurys on the sign. Same ownership, new space, old identity crisis. Walking in felt like entering a building that hadn't yet decided what it wanted to be when it grew up. The lingering aroma? A strange duet of fish, antiseptic, and industrial cleaning agents. Not hunger-inducing. More "urgent care with a fryer." There was no one there, which made sense--it was between brunch and lunch--but somehow the wait for food felt disproportionately long for what arrived. What arrived, sadly, was mediocrity wearing a Tex-Mex costume. They seemed to be aiming for Tex-Mex but landed somewhere closer to Tex-Flex--stretching flavors thin until they snapped. The barbacoa was fatty in a way that suggested less "slow-cooked tradition" and more "glistening regret." It didn't taste authentic, or even especially intentional. Just heavy. The guacamole--perhaps the most unforgivable offense--was bad. Guacamole is avocados, salt, lime, and love. That's it. This had none of the above. The waitstaff wasn't rude, exactly--just possessed by the clear energy of people who would prefer you to finish quickly so they could resume their real lives. Hospitality should feel like an invitation, not a countdown. Now, maybe the original Nurys is wonderful. I hope it is. But if that's the case, why open a second location only to phone it in? Expansion should mean excellence multiplied, not care divided. There are too many good places in Fredericksburg doing things right to settle for something half-hearted. This one wasn't terrible--it was worse. It was forgettable. And that's the real disappointment.

    I didn't care for it. We were a large party and sat immediately, which was nice, and the restaurant…read morewas calm and nearly empty for a Sunday but honestly, there's a reason it was so dead. Right away, the service felt off. Our waitress didn't even ask if we wanted drinks before jumping straight to, "Are you ready to order food?" Then she disappeared for long periods, even though we were basically her only table besides one other couple. The food was extremely underwhelming -- basic, barely warm, and nothing memorable. On top of that, there were so many flies inside that we were nonstop swatting them away. And to make matters worse, there was a bug in my drink when it was served to me. That was pretty much the final straw. Overall, a very forgettable and disappointing experience. We probably won't come again, and I would not recommend it.

I love the set up of the main dining room. I'm always a fan when you can see the kitchen preparing the dishes from your table. Hill and vine pairs their excellent food with some amazing local wines. We tried the William Chris to pair with the pork chop (which was excellent). We started the meal out with the mahi ceviche. What a flavor bomb! Highly recommend. Service was perfect. Attentive, but not overly so. I always think the price is very fair considering the quality of ingredients and the care put into the dishes. Will be back for sure when in the hill country.

    The place so good we went twice in one day…read more Our first visit for lunch was wonderful, eating out every meal on vacation is hard for us so I wanted something lighter midday. We had Kristen as our server, she was so attentive and sweet. To start we tried the sweet cornbread, lavender mint lemonade, and regular lemonade. The lavender mint lemonade was one of the best drinks I've had in a while. For our meals he had the BLTA with fries and I had the avocado and lime salad with tri tip steak. Absolutely stellar food, quality ingredients and great flavors. We had leftovers for sure, lol, something to eat on the drive back to DFW the next day. For dinner, we sat outside and had Jess as our server. She was also really nice, she had quite a few tables and still managed to give us plenty of attention. We had carnitas nachos and the ground beef soup. The carnitas nachos are... unnecessarily large. lol Luckily the soup bowl was very small so I was able to help the boyfriend with some nachos. But my small effort was not enough and he tapped out of the nachos at the halfway mark. Highly recommend the nachos if you have four friends with you. =D This was a great restaurant with a lovely outdoor space. If we lived in Fredericksburg, I could easily see us making this a monthly hang out on Friday nights. If you have the chance, make sure to get in with Kristen or Jess, you won't be disappointed.
