Listen, I came to Machete Cocina Mexicana in Woodbury with decent expectations... and then the…read morechimichanga showed up like Beyoncé crashing karaoke night. Golden, crispy, stuffed to perfection, and smothered in saucy goodness--it was so good I half‑expected it to come with its own fan club. The vibe here is festive without trying too hard--bright colors, upbeat energy, and staff who make you feel like you're part of the party. Drinks are solid (the horchata is basically dessert in a glass), and the menu has enough variety that you'll want to come back just to work your way through it. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and honestly, if you leave hungry, that's on you. Bottom line: Machete isn't just serving dinner--it's serving main character energy. And that chimichanga? Out of this world, baby.

Customer service is great they talk though the menu with questions of all kinds even down to the amount of spice used in case you're sensitive. I enjoy dining in the layout is beautiful and comfortable. I love that they're so many locals that support this business most dine in and are friendly. The food comes out in a decent amount of time I have no complaints there!! My favorite is Taco Tuesday $2.50 per taco you cannot beat and they're sooo good, the green sauce is my favorite with a side of lime. My last item I gotta shout of is the Rice milk dang is it yummy!! The best I've had in MN hands down. I will continue to visit and bring friends!

The decor is pretty neat inside. Round tables with bulky chairs and window seating as well…read more Not a sit down restaurant with a server if that's what you're looking for. I would consider this a fast food joint like Chipotle. The food was really bland. I got the steak taco and when they scoop the steak they had to drain the water out? To me it seems like they cook their meat and leave it soak in something to keep it from being dry. By doing this it also lost all flavor if they seasoned their steak. Unfortunately, it wasn't worth it and I won't be going back.

The Birria (beef) was greasy but I like it that way *Forgot to take a pic- we were too hungry and couldn't wait* Also ordered 2 tacos à la cart. So good! One bean with lettuce and cheese (my go to), one pulled pork with lettuce, cheese and salsa verde on the side Had a bday dessert - Sopapillas- basically fried donuts with sauces on top. Delicious! Big serving so it's great for a group to share Great friendly service! Bar or dining area- both have TV's Casual restaurant Parking lot- plenty of parking

Typical Mexican chain restaurant that unfortunately fell short. We went for a late lunch and there…read morewere only 2 tables occupied. There was one server who saw us walk in but still went into the kitchen and made us wait too long to be seated without a greeting of any kind. During our visit the server would disappear for long periods. The other table spilled their water and needed napkins and couldn't find the server to get assistance. The menu has good lunch options and a fair mix of traditional options. I ordered the green chile pozole and that was the one redeeming quality of the visit as it was quite tasty and filling. However, my husband's crunchy tacos came to the table completely soggy on one side like they had sat on the plate in a puddle of juice for too long. And the chips they brought to the table with the salsa had been fried in old oil and the flavor was quite off-putting.

The workers have always been nice, the portions are always good, and the food taste good! I personally prefer Qdoba over Chipotle because quac and queso are not extra.

A couple of us placed our orders online, and we were told they would be ready by 11:55 AM. When we arrived, our orders weren't even ready. One of the ladies with us had never been to QDOBA before, so she decided to order her food in person. She actually received her food before the online orders that had already been placed! There was a shorter Hispanic woman working behind the counter who didn't smile or seem very welcoming. She was extremely skimpy with the food, and I had to ask multiple times for more rice and other ingredients in my bowl. She was also very slow preparing the food. If you're coming here on your lunch break, be prepared to spend quite a bit of time waiting. The other gentleman working there didn't seem to know what was going on either. Overall, the service was disappointing, and the food was even worse. Everything we received was extremely dry and just didn't taste good. For us, this was definitely a first-and-last experience with QDOBA. If you're looking for a quick lunch, I would personally choose Chipotle instead. In my experience, the service is faster and the food is much better. Unfortunately, QDOBA was a huge disappointment for us.
