The machetes are good, however they would be better if the had a bit more meat in them.

This place was good back when they first opened. Now they serve you strange dog meat on your machetes. It's not good when you're chewing on cartilage half the time. Stop cutting corners for profit Machetes!! Bring back the quality steak meat! đ

Too much hype for nothing they just bring you the tacos with no toppings donât even notify you that you have to go to a self serve section that isnât even marked to even give you a clue about what your getting yourself into. Like đŤ¨. I dnt recommend it and i wouldnât go back for no reason at all

Machetes was an experience I wasnât expectingâbut it completely blew me away. Hidden and unassuming, this place is a true gem serving up some of the most impressive quesadillas Iâve ever had. While the menu offers a variety of options, the real stars are their three sizes of machetesâmassive, 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 saucesâeach 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 youâre looking for a place that serves authentic, no-nonsense, flavor-packed food, Machetes is the spot. Iâll definitely be back, and next time, I might just take on the full-sized Machete!

The food is very good, the only thing is there is no parking, I had a bad experience with that, I parked on the street and when I got out my car had all the windows scratched saying
"Don't park"

The hand-made "machetes" are great. I had the witlacoche and flor de calabaza. It was not greasy and well stuffed. The place could be cleaner as the floor seemed not to have been swept in a while, especially since it was not that busy. Also, there was nobody at the front when we got there and some people even left. We called out, and then someone came out. Having said that, the food itself makes it easy to recommend.
