    Chicken tacos
    Monica R.

    Best Taco Tuesday ever!!! Loves their happy hour every!! Drinks ROCK too!! Mucho Gracias!!

    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.

    Patacón relleno con cochino! This was a fried plantain filled with pork. Yummy!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Super nachos.

    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*

    My wife and I about to enjoy tacos.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    The Si Serás and Que Pasó tacos were incredible.
    Micah K.

    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.

    The super Nachos are a MUST have!
    Mariah P.

    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

    See all

    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.
