Everything was great! Even the slightly overpriced Mexican Soda Pop in a glass bottle! 🤣 Sike naw... It was cool! Everything was fresh and delicious. I'm definitely going back to get more authentic Mexican food.

Best “authentic “ Mexican food in the area. I can tell you this food is amazing! The service was amazing and food was even better. As close to my Abuela’s cooking as I can find.

I order takeout tacos from here all the time. At least a few times a week I order food from here, and it is always great. The guacamole, salsa, and tacos Mexican style are awesome. I’ve tried several of the tacos and you cannot go wrong. My favorite is probably carne asada. Great food!

First review, but I’ve actually been here quite a few times over the years now, both dining-in and taking out, and even got a few deliveries to home (back when they used to do that “in-house”)
Food is good. Not spectacular. But it’s authentic as advertised. The meat selection is good. Cooked and seasoned fairly. Sauces are ok, made in house. But…
Prices are slightly too high, especially when you consider that their “platters” are nothing more than your entree item plus a very light scoop of bland rice, an equally small portion of very loose refried beans, or… sans the beans, a pinch of shredded lettuce with diced tomatoes with a squirt of crema.
Trust me, you ain’t getting what’s in the menu pictures. And here’s where it starts….
There’s this “game playing” with the menu when ordering at the counter. I’ve asked for Tamales Polo Mole’ the last three times and keep being told “we don’t do that Tamale” though it’s right there on the menu, which has been updated at least twice in the past year to reflect price hikes. So why not remove the item?
And speaking of prices, be sure to break out your phone calculator when you order at the counter, especially on larger orders, and tally up the items alongside the waitress as she writes up the bill. Today, three of my items were overcharged at a $1 a piece, and was overcharged another 4$ for a “phantom tamale” that I never got.
And bear in mind that this was only discovered after I questioned the 6-7$
These guys also love to mix-up or mis-mash orders. I once got somebody else’s completely different order on take-out. Obviously Didn’t realize it until getting home and unboxing. But We were hungry.
So with that, I think I’ll end the relationship on a high note and “cut” ties with “Los Machetes.” Best of luck. ?
