4 adults and a child ordering lunch, they charged us an 18% gratuity. Also they advertised Sangria on a board in the window, next to margaritas. We order the sangria it is non alcoholic and “sparkling” when we got the bill they were $9 each. Didn’t even drink them.
The food is tasty and the staff is awesome! They are always friendly and went above and beyond for a party we had when many other downtown restaurants wouldn't.
The owner took some of her time to talk to us. She was very nice and the food was excellent. Heartily recommend the Machete.
This restaurant its pricey. Parking was $3/hr. accross the place. Street meter same ($3/hr) but time limit its 20min. Place looks quaint. Food is good. They welcome you at your table with traditional chips and salsa. We ordered Fajita which normally is an open metal plate with sizzling meat(s) and mixed veggies with a flame under it accompanied by your choice of tortillas. Not so here but a hand made tortilla with meat and a few veggies, avocado is extra. Taste was good but i can't get over that I'm eating a large (9") taco. We had a Margarita ($14) each. Some days Margaritas are 2x1. Total bill was over $70 +tip.
We sat outside, if you have 3 or more people you’re not going to be comfortable as you have to shift plates all the time since tables are so small. The food was good, had chicarrones as appetizer and a toña. Not kid friendly if you’re sitting outside, there is a cigar bar next door and the smoke can get in the way. I would be back but without kids
It was so so. Not horrid but not great. We had margaritas and it seemed like just juice with minimal to no alcohol. Food seemed rather bland, not very flavorful as you find in most Mexican cuisine.
Wonderful service, good street tacos…salsa was weak
The food was delicious! We had a party of 4. 3 of us ordered the machete in different variations(steak, el pastor, fajita, special). The pastor is so good! The other order was a burrito with the roast chicken. Highly recommend the queso Blanco dip with chips. Service was fantastic and accommodating!
Awful. Gross. Super low quality. I work and eat on the square all the time. My pals and I were extremely disappointed with our first (and last) visit. Firstly they brought out complimentary chips and salsa which were so obviously store bought low quality food items. We all legit agreed that they opened up packages from the Grocery store and put them in bowls for us. So gross. They didn’t even get better quality store bought things ! Literally lowest tier. Don’t even get me started on the margaritas…. Sugary Kool aid , with no taste of alcohol whatsoever. Again, obviously a super cheap store bought mix. Tasted like diabetes in a glass. My other pal got sangria which looked like cloudy white wine. Awful. We took a couple sips and bites and got out ASAP, did not finish anything. Will not be back. Ever. Sooooo many better places. Please learn how to make a real margarita.
Horrible service and they nickel and dime you.We sat at a table for 20 minutes before the waitstaff acknowledged us. It was not even overly busy when we sat down. It was 30 minutes before they brought us water. They charged us $4.50 for chips and salsa even though this was brought to the table without request. They charged us $0.75 for a small dish of sour cream. They charged us a “mandatory” 20% gratuity when there was only four of us at the table. None of these hidden charges were disclosed ahead of time. We will not be going back.
