Not coming here again. The hochata tastes old and gross, and the asada is recooked meat with extra seasoning. The meat is falling apart. Also, why do I have to put my toppings?? Never coming here again. Said it twice.

Arrive 1 pm, upon entering, you noticed it is very quiet and nobody is at the front. But sooner or later, someone does come out to attend you.
You have to order at the cashier and they give you the food. The extra ingredients are out, unpacked, open air for anyone to grab, even for mosquitos and flies. (I only found mosquitos on said day I attended)
Some tables looked dirty, and others looked fairly clean. I chose the closest one to me, but I don’t think they wiped the table down.
When I received my order, it was a very large plate. I forgot a machete was that large. But I still ate it all. I was very full afterwards.
Food was good.
Atmosphere felt very lonely and dry, that not even the cashier wanted to be there.
Service was rather quick compared to other Mexican restaurants I have gone to.
I was recommended the Pastor meat, which I think was relatively good. Some extra fatty meats here and there, but overall good.

Machetes was an experience I wasn’t expecting—but it completely blew me away. Hidden and unassuming, this place is a true gem serving up some of the most impressive quesadillas I’ve ever had. While the menu offers a variety of options, the real stars are their three sizes of machetes—massive, flavor-packed quesadillas that steal the show. You can choose from The Machete, The Machete Jr., and The Machete Baby, each one filled with your choice of protein and topped to perfection. The toughest decision? Picking just one!
I went with the Machete Jr. with carne asada, and even that felt massive when it landed on my table. A long, freshly made tortilla wrapped around perfectly grilled steak, stuffed to the brim with flavor. But what truly took it over the top was loading it up with every topping available, pickled onions, fresh cilantro, and all three of their house-made hot sauces.
The first bite was out of this world. The tortilla, warm and slightly charred, had that unmistakable homemade texture that held everything together beautifully. The carne asada was tender, juicy, and packed with smoky, savory goodness. The pickled onions added a tangy bite, balancing the richness of the meat, while the cilantro brought in freshness. Then came the sauces—each one delivering a different level of spice and depth, from a smooth heat to an intense, lingering burn that kept me going back for more.
Every element fused together into something unforgettable. The textures, the bold flavors, the heat, it was all just next-level. If you’re looking for a place that serves authentic, no-nonsense, flavor-packed food, Machetes is the spot. I’ll definitely be back, and next time, I might just take on the full-sized Machete!

Dirty tables, expensive tacos, and the menu is so confusing. My tacos had recooked meat. Some of it tasted like powder. Oh and you have to put the toppings on the food, even tho thats super gross. The place was cold since they don’t have a vestibule, so every time someone comes in you get hit by cold air. I just don’t understand the point of paying 4$ and some cents on top on a tip just for them to make you dress the food. The people who work there are sweet, but the recooked meat was just disrespectful. Not coming back.

Small place but good amount of tables. Great service and everything is cooked fresh. Great selection of salsa at the self serve station. Beware it can be very spicy. The quesadillas are very large and filling for an amazing price. My favorite spot for quesadillas!! Free Wifi.

I never leave bad reviews, but this was ridiculous. This was our first time and will be our last time here. I ordered a burrito dinner with beans and rice, and when i called about my side missing she stated the rice was IN MY burrito! The rice was added to my burrito and charged for $3.63 for the side of rice. The reciept does state an ORDER of rice. Maybe if they got off their airpod they would be able to concentrate better on the client’s order. Terrible service.

This place is nice well organized but it needs more space. The staff is nice and they are there to help you. The prices are okay not to expensive nor too cheap. Sometimes the place is packed but you can still manage to move around. There are many drink options. Sometimes the staff leaves to the back and idk what they do, but they come back every 5 minutes.
