Smaller place with solid Mexican fare. Downstairs bar with 2-3 tables & an upstairs section with an additional 7-8 tables(high & low tops). No longer have taco Tuesday unfortunately, but still affordable($3-$4 per taco). Tacos are street style but loaded with meat. Lively crowd between 7-8pm. Worth a look if you're in the area and in the mood for Mexican food. read more

$1 taco Tuesdays are a must. Great service and great food. It's hard to find good Mexican food in Barcelona, but Machete has you wanting to speak Spanish without a lisp read more

Great food, great service. Small restaurant that serves delicious tacos, nachos, ceviche among other dishes. Con Permisso, possibly spelled wrong (most likely) are their pork tacos #1, fish tacos, and super nachos were my go to. Their traditional ceviche is perfectly served with sweet potato and corn. read more

What an awesome surprise this place was! I was crazy looking for latin food, a break from the tapas, so I run into Machete... LOVE the food, it was soooooo good it brought happy tears of nostalgia for my Venezuelan food that I miss so much! We had the arepas for appetizers and then we order the Venezuelan burger as well as a patacón relleno, this was super yummy! The people working at the bar/restaurant were super nice and friendly. At the bar we had a caipirinha, it was to die for! If you are in Barcelona this is a place you will really enjoy! read more

Great artful take on Latin street food. Bold, incredible flavors to back it up. We had the Ceviche Limeno, super light and refreshing flavor and one of the best I have tasted in quite some time. My wife had an Aguachile Rojo, and we also ordered a couple of the tacos. They are perfectly bite sized like proper street tacos. The best ones were the Si Serás, Con Permisito Dijo Monchito and Que Paso, Que Paso Vamos Ay. Definitely some of the best tacos I have tasted in Barcelona and would easily stand the test against my favorite taco places in Mexico or California. Really friendly service and one hell of a chef in the kitchen. This place had only been open for three days at the time we arrived?! With the great attention to quality and wonderful flavors in the food here's wishing them a very successful future. Because with food like this they definitely deserve it. read more

We have eaten here twice for lunch and loved it both times. They are only open for a few hours at lunch, and service can be a little slow, but it is worth the wait. The super nachos are great, as are the tacos. The guacamole is as good as you can get without being over in that other hemisphere. The chips here are yellow corn, a little bit thicker, and I am not sure they make them in-house. But my son approves, and he is the chip connoisseur. The service is very friendly and helpful, despite limited English. The food is super fresh and delicious. Highly recommended. read more

While in the cab on the way to my hotel, an intense craving for nachos had taken over my body. As if the universe heard my plea, the cab driver stopped right in front of Machete to let us out so we could walk to our hotel. As soon as the luggage was dropped off, I pulled my fiancé back down into the direction of the restaurant. I ordered the super nachos and waited in great anticipation for them to be delivered. They were all I could imagine and more. EAT HERE! *drops mic* read more

My husband and I had lunch here today. After spending a week in a cruise and tasting delicious Italian food... I must admit we missed having some Latin food. We are from Los Ángeles, CA and are used to having Latin food and spicy food readily available to us. This was the perfect ambiance as well as taste of home. We tried three tacos from the menu and they were all the perfect Mexican flavor with a hint of infusion. Sorry I didn't get any pictures but we quickly scarfed those suckers down. Then we had the arepitas dish which also had a great tasting selection of beef and chicken to stuff them with. Perfectly fresh food and the place is definitely inviting. read more

Bitchy employees and cold food. I don't feel like I need to write anything else about this. Maybe that it's also quite overpriced.

I am writing this review as I have just finished 3 street tacos. The fish taco was very tasty. No, it was great! Then I had the skirt steak with sour cream and fresh guacamole which paired together with the other fresh ingredients made this awesome!!! Next I had the shrimp taco topped with a yogurt cream.....damn!!!! All good choices I made. My wife is having the super nachos which she is enjoying very much as I write this review. I placed an order for a chicken tostada. I cannot wait to try this next choice. read more

An otherwise perfect night besides the end. I went there with 9 of my colleagues from a social media company we all work for, meeting there for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic , one of them recommended the place since she knew a waitress (Isaura) there and recommended the place to us, we had a reservation for 9:30pm the place is an ok chill Mexican bar upfront nothing too fancy with a second floor and a back room with another bar and one restroom one very artsy but almost completely unclean with half of the floor full of urine spreading on the shoes of people Through the bar (don't drop anything there) , we were attended by two amazing waitresses Sara and Isaura , which did a flawless job both efficient and kind, the drinks were really nice loved the micheladas and margaritas cheers to the bar Upfront ! The tacos! One of the best I've tried In Barcelona cheers to the chef then at around midnight or so we all decided to go do some "perreo" and dance , the place was packed and steamy and really fun, we were all having a really good time until a mean looking girl which turned out to be a bartender there in the inner bar, aggressively yells something to my friend about a bulb? Which he goes and fixes for her and she yells at him again , "you get out of my bar!" Me and all my colleagues were surprised and did not understand what had happened, my friend said i don't understand but ok, and complied , we were all puzzle as he simply left the bar, when we asked her what had happened she simply told us off and walked away back to the bar, an otherwise amazing and perfect night eclipsed a bit by this type of situation and people that obviously should not be working with people since they do not have the minimum of people skill required to work an hospitality job, something to think about owners; if you wish that your business prospers and is not clouded by workers going on a power trip and no sense of proudness and and belonging to a place, a person that is happy and enjoys their environment and workplace does not act in this manner , since this only serves to hurt the business and in turn their on livelihood. Cheers. read more

Cool spot! Need to go back when I can sneak into the speak easy. Tacos were excellent.

What a nice hiddden gem for street tacos.. HOLY cheese balls are the pollo tacos good. the chicken was the best by far. Whatever the white sauce was, was really good. read more

Great for a late snack from the large selection of Latin street food menu! You'll find a lot of the hip, creative, local crowd here. It's a good choice for food when you come back from the beach The best of all, it has a Bombon bar adjacent to it (same owners). The staff is amazing, and you are most likely to find yourself being served by the owners in the evenings. read more

Love, love, love this small latin street food restaurant. Found them on Yelp while on vacation and their food was as good as their 5 star rating. We had the chicken, steak and pork tacos and all were amazing and very different. My favorite was the steak taco. So many flavors and textures all at once! Also had the Super Nachos which were fantastic and very different from most. We went to many high end Tapas restaurants while in Barcelona and my favorite meal was at Machete. I would even have to say it was one of my best meals ever! Mercedes is the friendly owner from Argentina and her helper / co-worker is also Mercedes! Really nice people running a family business. Do yourself a favor and try it out .. you will not be disappointed in the least! read more

Some of the best tacos I've ever had and I've had a few. They take the traditional street taco and elevate it with there own twists. The margaritas were a tad sweet but by god those tacos...We came back the very next day. I recommend the Si Serás and the Que Pasó. read more

Good spot to find some good nachos in Barcelona! My favorite nachos I've had out here by far, the tacos weren't bad but I would say a bit overpriced. The elotes were not real Mexican elotes they came a bit cold. But overall had a good experience and good service. They have an English menu. I would recommend but I've had better in town read more

Definitely get the Ceviche. Solid place, good tacos, not great, but maybe I'm spoiled by NYC tacos... The ceviche is the real star here (more later)... but the Tacos are definitely good and they bracketed a day with more than one food disappointment so this was the perfect spot and atmosphere to end a day with good inexpensive food! The skirt steak, lamb, and chicken were the best. The fish tacos were breaded and fried and detracted a bit... If i ever return, it will be for the ceviche (the one made with passion fruit juice). It really stands out, and may be among the "best in class" here or back home... also visited their "after hours" speak easy very late one night... cool but not my scene but definitely fun to enter through a secret door... gritty dive bar feel and commensurate crowd.... read more

Oh yeah! Give me more tacos please, a couple of "Elotes", a sampler of arepas and two rounds of drinks! Love this place! It has been my found treasure this summer in BCN. A great place to meet the local creative community. The staff is very nice and helpful in recommending where else to go. read more

We are from Texas so we're use to good Mexican food, the street style tacos were outstanding and my wife said the passion fruit margarita was the best margarita recommended by the bartender she's ever had (out of probably thousands, lol) Awesome staff on top of everything else read more

Place is good, popular, good Latin music, young people, food is nice, latin music and so on. Service is weak twice in 30 minutes I ve been told not that s not what you ordered and forced you into food or drinks you did not order, quite aggressively. On average, service is weak in Barcelona, but this is one of the weakest I ve seen. No biggies, the rest is fine. read more

Good tacos ..open late..chill area on gothic quarter..friendly staff..chill vibe..relaxed atmosphere..would go back when I'm in Barcelona

Food is amazing. Great service. Old rocking out vibes had us feeling like it was the early 2000s back in the states. Will never forget the nachos and the arroz chaufa! Must gets. We will definitely be back. read more

We went to machete for a late night bite and it did not disappoint. The vibe and ambiance are incredible, you feel like you are in an old school cantina. The food and drinks are amazing as well. I had the burger and my husband had the nachos. The burger was to die for! The nachos you have to be really hungry to plow down. The besos brujos drink can't be missed if you like sweet and spicy combos together. If we are lucky enough to be in Barcelona again we will definitely stop by and maybe order the tacos this time. I noticed another table getting a drink that was in a pineapple and a drink where the shot was on fire, would like to check those out too! read more

They serve amazing Tacos!!! I have traveled around for a bit a these are of the best street tacos ever. They don't have to feel any jealous of Tacos served in Mexico. Definitely 5 stars for them. They also have a variety of popular latin street food which are great as well. The Micheladas and the Margaritas are also for recommendation. Great reggae by the way as a soundtrack to the nice deco. We will be back for sure very soon!!! And for dessert a Paleta with Ron or Tequila!!!! Yeap!!!! read more

I'm often told I say "literally" too often - but literally, these were literally the best tacos I've ever had. And I love tacos - I eat them everywhere. I don't even know if it's necessary to say any more. I don't eat beef so I stuck to the shrimp, chorizo/potato, and fried fish tacos. They were so flavorful, a little spicy, and exactly what anyone would want to eat if they were hungry. If I'm ever back in Barca, I'll be making a beeline to this place. read more

This was such a good find! Who cares if it's Mexican and not Catalonian or Spanish food? It was amazing!! We had the pork tacos, beef tacos, shrimp tacos, ceviche, emanadas, and a Cuban sandwich. They were all fantastic. I highly recommend. These are better than any stret tacos I've had in California for sure. Enjoy! read more

A great little find. Better Mexican food than I've had in Mexico and certainly better than the states. The tacos are all singles. The shrimp taco had this great sauce and the chicken a tomatillo sauce with fresh guac. And very cold beer. Lots of character and worth the visit to break up the tapas eating you will do. Not the cheapest through. 50 euros for nachos, three tacos, and a few beers. read more
