Recommended by a Mexican yard worker. Having lived in Houston Texas, we've had broad exposure to Mexican and TexMex. Have dined in Mexican restaurants in Mexico, Guadalajara, Cholula. Stateside, Del Rio, San Antonio TX. Expectations were high. Dropped by for some takeout. Chile Rellenos. Two peppers. Enough for the two of us of to share. Nice. As familiar as can be. Spicey but not too much kick. We kept thinking and talking, "This tastes pretty good. we have to go back". read more

Food is good. Sauce's super spicy though don't be like me pouring all of them into my taco and now my lip's burning...

Came to eat here with my girlfriend on New Year. the food was 10/10 Didn't get the Cashier /waitress name but she was wonderful as well... we ordered the burrito which was full of flavor and enough to save for later. Also Some tamales with the chips and salsa. Definitely will be back again. Shoutout to the chef ! read more

Very expensive. We ordered pick up: a chicken quesadilla, steak nachos, and a vegetarian dish. The steak nachos came wrong but we didn't bring anything up again because they left out a part of our order when we came to pick up. The food is alright, nothing to complain about. Not spicy, but some flavor. Probably won't come back due to the prices and the difficulties we had with the order. read more

Great authentic food, fast service, super underrated spot! Didnt have high hopes for the area but was pleasantly surprised

I came here for a quick lunch and it was sooo good. The nachos were wonderful w homemade chips, a delish bean sauce, some cheese and hot salsas. Loved this!!! I ordered cheese enchiladas that came w a choice of sauce - and I went w the red sauce. Also came w beans, rice, and a little salad w guac on top. The meal was great and we were the only non spanish speakers in there so you know this place is legit. The cooler was stalked w Jaritos of all flavors too. Def will be back. read more

A plain but delightful little Mexican place in Glenolden. Dining room is pleasantly decorated and bright. Food was delicious -- I got a semita (sesame seed bun) sandwich so huge I couldn't finish it, and took half home. The guy at the table next to me asked what I got because he was starving and wanted something huge! My kid got nachos with cheese, which as you can see in pic also included a ton of avocado and veggies. The restaurant fried the tortillas for nachos after we ordered, so they were fresh and hot and crisp! Service was polite and fast. Will definitely return again. read more

Was craving some tacos in Delco so tried out this quaint little spot. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The tacos were good but could've used a bit more seasoning. The homemade salsa verde was good, but the red salsa (not pictured) tasted like it was from the jar. Other than that I enjoyed and will return despite it being a little pricey. read more

I fall in love with this restaurant more & more each time I'm here. I want to say the restaurant has new owners. That is just my thought, I could be wrong. The menu slightly changed & the taste in food is beyond good. It is YUMMILICIOUS!! Today my husband & I stopped here around 330PM, was not crowded but soon got busy after we ordered. We ordered Nachos Rancheros & Chicken Chimichanga. Nachos Rancheros - it was a very generous plate of nachos. I don't think I could have finished it by myself. Thank goodness my husband was there to save the day. We both devoured the nachos. The steak was nicely seasoned & the onions were not raw. Major plus for me! It was topped w/lettuce, tomatoes, slices of avocado & sour cream. I could eat this everyday. Chicken Chimichanga - it was filled w/shredded chicken in some kind of delicious red sauce, wrapped, deep fried then topped w/this magical jalapeño cheese sauce served w/a side of rice & salad. OMG! I'm telling you, the cheese sauce MADE the plate. Don't let it fool you. They probably put some kind of drug in it, I don't know. I know it's good when I close my eyes, smile & do my yummy dance. W.O.W! Try it, you won't be disappointed. My husband & I were full after finishing the nachos but we had to try the chimichanga. We cut about 1/3 of it & tried. Wished we would have tried it right when it got to the table still piping hot. Our eyes were more hungry than our appetite. We brought the rest of the chimichanga home. We have ordered to-go many many times but this is probably our 3rd or 4th time eating in. Our waiter today was so nice, fast & clean. After we finished our plate of nachos he came right away to clear the table preparing for our next entree. Aside from today..we always order on TACO TUESDAYS! $1 tacos, can't beat that! Before, the $1 tacos on Tuesdays were a little smaller than regular sized tacos. But now, they are just as big. Love the carne asada! Nicely seasoned with little bits of charred pineapple. YUM!! read more

Numerous visits this summer of 2019. What an incredible addition to this part of Delaware County. I am moving out of the county in two weeks but trust me I will return often to visit and eat. First let me talk about the service : its attentive, friendly accurate and quick. The two different servers I've had over approximately six visits this summer have always had a smile on their face and something pleasant to say. People like that when they dine out. They like to know that their business is appreciated. I love how it's decorated very simply with approximately 5 tables, 3 booths and Mexican paper decorations overhead. It's a bright and cheery place to have a fine meal. I tried too many things here the last four months and I am remiss in not remember omg exactly why I consumed but trust me when I say myself and my dining partners never went away hungry and we always went away happy. Congrats to the owner on the success of your wonderful restaurant read more

Our meal was delicious, from the chips and salsa to start to the tamales we had as a appetizer, to the tacos to the huaraches.

Delicious authentic Mexican food is not easy to come by in Pennsylvania but this place is a gem! Had tamales & enchiladas verdes, everything was delicious! Friendly staff, clean restaurant, local. A great option on your way to or from the Philly Airport ! I'll be back. read more

In from out of state and was looking for a place to have a long lunch before heading to the airport. It's not what I was expecting...but that's a good thing. If you want a "traditional" mexican restaurant with a hundred tables, drink refills, and unlimited chips with canned salsa, this isn't for you. There's only about 5 tables and most people were taking out. But the food was really good. Guac was fresh and good. My quesadilla had a homemade tortilla - that's 4 stars right there. Excellent neighborhood restaurant. My Uber driver to the airport knew about it and goes there a couple of times a month. So recommended by me...and a local. read more

Food was amazing ! Came out fresh fast and tasteful!! The woman was so sweet and polite and made suggestions that turned out great! Definitely get that authentic Hispanic vibe from this place! Hope to see you there check them out! The parking lot is small but it's plenty of street parking around the area! read more

It is a restaurant so food is the most important, it was delicious. Good size portions. Ordered steak nachos and burrito a La Mexicans. Both were quite fresh and tasty. I picked up food so didn't get "served" but I will say for me, being greeted and someone being friendly goes a long way to how I feel about a place. Never like being treated indifferently. A better greeting would have given another star. Again, went for the meal and it was delicious but customer service goes a long way for me so I may not go back. The restaurant itself was completely empty so I may have come at an odd time. Cute inside. Nothing fancy but definitely colorful. read more

Best Mexican food in Delco. Just try to prove me wrong! Excellent service. Authentic and delicious food. We take out mostly bit the eat-in atmosphere is great. Don't forget the tres leches for desert. read more

This is an adorable, comfortable restaurant with delicious authentic Mexican food. There were four of us. We shared nachos which were some of the best I ever had. I had the street tacos (4 in the dish) - shrimp and al pastor which had chopped pineapple in it. The fajitas were good for sharing, but also was good for a single dinner. They are is not a bar so we brought our own margaritas. We were given margarita glasses with ice and lime. Service was great! We will definitely be back. It took us about 15 minutes from the south end of Ocean City to get here. My sister and brother-in-law came from Ventnor and it took them about 30 minutes. read more

I think this is probably a 4-star restaurant, but considering the location, I'm giving 5-stars. This is the best Mexican food I've found in DelCo so far. I got to try the carnitas burrito, rice and beans, and chorizo potato quesadilla. Everything was delicious. Beware the green sauce - it's not guacamole and is very spicy. I actually appreciated all the salsas and spicy touches here. I like things hot and I feel as if lots of places skimp on the spice for fear of offending patrons' tastebuds. I will absolutely be returning. read more

Probably the best/ most authentic Mexican restaurant in the area. We ordered takeout and the portions were quite generous but a tad salty for my taste. The woman at the counter was kind, even though it seemed a bit busy because it was lunch time. The inside reminded me a lot of Mexico, and very homey. We'll definitely give them another chance. Apparently they have $1 taco Tuesday! read more

I moved from San Diego to the local area a few months ago... so let's say I'm a Mexican food snob. I've only ordered to-go a handful of times, but I must say - they serve the best tacos I've had so far in the Delaware county area. I've ordered al pastor & carne asada tacos the last few times. Their carne asada was a bit dry the first time I ordered it, but good flavors. Al pastor was amazing! I tried ordering guacamole the last 5 times around 4 PM... and always sold out!!!! Oh, and their horchata is great! Overall, great tacos. However, it's a bit pricey compared to what I am used to, so I have to knock down a star. read more

Their steak tacos are very full and tasty. Additionally, the nachos were some of the best we ever had.

The food is so genuinely good! The wait staff is also so amazing! I love the aesthetic of the restaurant, it's so cute!

Solid Mexican joint. I love that they put refried beans and queso fresco on the the fresh made tortillas chips. The portions are of a good size and everything was made fresh to order. I got the fajitas texanas and was very pleased with my decision. I have only been here once but this seems like the place to get Mexican food in the area. read more

The general consensus in my family was not bad, but we've had better. They put out decent food. My wife got fajitas. I got several different tacos. Everything was good, and we left full. But we each can name places where we've had better fajitas and tacos respectively. I will say this. Dessert was absolutely banging! Churros and ice cream will win my heart any time. read more

Ordered Alambres norteños and what I got was disgusting. It was made with hot dogs instead of the sausage and steak that was written on the menu. I actually ordered this once before and it was delicious when made with the actual meat. But today they used hots dogs instead! read more

I am so happy to find authentic Mexican food in the area. While there are a few restaurants in the area (Delaware County) there are only a handful that can be called truly Mexican. The service was friendly and helpful, the ambiance is that of many small restaurants in the area "not a lot of space" but good enough to sit down and enjoy your meal, BUT the food... the FOOD.... try the artisan salsas, they come with your chips. The chips are topped with refried beans, and they're tasty! The have natural drinks (aguas) on the day we visited they had mango, and tamarind both were delicious. And while we will visit a few more times, I already have a favorite plate... try the Chile's Rellenos! read more

Nice use of this building which used to house various failing pizza places .... half dozen tables or so wasn't too crowded for lunch, had the Burrito a la Mexicana which had a great presentation, definitely more of a platter knife and fork dish not an American hand held burrito. Lots of flavor and the salsa was just right .... it was the recommended dish by the server .... came with free chips and dips .... I'd def go back to try other dishes read more

Los Machetes Authentic Mexican Restaurant - Burrito a la Mexicana off the Menu ... Tasty and great looking dish - Mexican Near Me - Prospect Park, Pennsylvania

Everything was extremely flavorful. We definitely enjoyed what we received. Wife ordered the burrito de pollo, I had the alambre Norteno, we all ordered a few tamales to try, and my kids were supposed to get the Carne Asada. My kids had to eat from my wife's and my meal. I guess they misheard what I said on the phone (it was very loud there), so they didn't get anything at all when we came back home and unpacked everything. We did not call back to order again (they didn't charge us for the item), as they were extremely packed. A few recommendation to the shop owner: Update the menu and post better versions on their Facebook or website. We went to yelp and their FB and it was difficult to find which one was the right menu. The FB menu was very blurry. Also, when we ordered, apparently there were more tamales stated than the menu. And to repeat back to order. We would have caught that they were missing my kids entire dish if they just repeated everything we told them. Besides that, I thought the food was great. read more

By far, the most authentic, delicious Mexican food I have had since moving to Philly! Los Machetes is AMAZING! On Friday night, we went out of our comfort zone and ordered take out. We tried the Cemitas, which was a crusty sesame bread with beans, grilled onions, chipotle pepper, avocado, cilantro, tomato, Osaxaca cheese, and ham. The hostess recommended we add breaded chicken too! I have never enjoyed Mexican so much! If I could predict the future, I would predict we become regulars at Los Machetes. read more

It was ok. Not as tasty as expected. Waitress was nice enough. Felt like a fast food place. Disappointing after reading other reviews.
