Machete Mexican Ancestral Food offers an authentic Mexican dining experience with real ancestral ingredients, such as black corn and criollo corn. The dishes are full of flavor, not greasy or sugary. Located on Main Street, just a couple blocks north of the Main Street Skytrain station, there is free parking available. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for those seeking an authentic Mexican taste.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, providing excellent service. Guests have enjoyed the “machete” signature dish, which is a machete-sized quesadilla, with options like chicken and beef, both praised for their flavor. The Tapatio Machete features a very flavorful braised beef shank, while the Pollito highlights a milder chicken flavor with delicious Oaxaca cheese. The menu offers a variety of options, including appetizers, drinks, mains, and desserts, ensuring there is something for everyone to try. All the corn tortillas are handmade, adding to the freshness of the food. There are also a variety of seating options and a private party room in the back, making it a perfect place for gatherings.
Guests have noted that the elotes are so good, with plenty of cheese, and the unique corn used makes them tasty. The portions are perfect and everything tastes homemade and made with love. While service can be a bit slow at times due to limited staff, the food arrives quickly once ordered. Overall, this spot proves that Mexican food can be both delicious and nourishing, hitting all the marks for those wanting to enjoy authentic flavors while staying healthy.
