    One pastor taco and one crane asada taco.
    Liv Y.

    First off, please be aware that they only accept cash (there is a Wells Fargo atm a few blocks down the road). $16 for a birria machete seems overpriced to me especially because there was little cheese and the texture resembled more of a soggy quesadilla. Definitely not worth the price. We also ordered two tacos. I started eating one and after the first bite noticed a strange mark on the tortilla. It turned out that the heat of the caused somehow loosened the ink on the blue checkered paper the tacos were wrapped in. The ink transferring to the tortilla didn't affect the flavor but I doubt most people would be ok with eating ink. The beef was meh. Not bad but nothing exciting. Absolutely would not order tacos from this place again and most definitely not worth the $3 they charged for each taco. If you want great tacos, I highly recommend (tacos de suadero) Tacos El Charly food truck half a mile down the road. Lastly, they gave us two salsas. A red one that was medium hot - tasted a lot like enchilada sauce. The other salsa was extremely hot (which is fine with me) but I'm not a big fan of creamy green salsas as they seem more Tex-Mex (judging from what I've had in Mexico City, Puebla and every other place I've ever had green salsa at... and it's in the hundreds). It's as if it had more crema/sour cream than avocado. I'll be keeping an eye out for other places that offer machetes. In the mean time if you want to try their machetes, go with a friend and split one. Although I find the price to be too high for a food truck (unless it's a lobster roll) , the portion is good for two people.

    On the search for some birria tacos, I stumbled upon Machetes "Doña Leova". I had never had a machete but when I saw that they had a BIRRIA MACHETE on the menu I had to try it for myself. My boyfriend and I ended up ordering a birria machete and a tinga de pollo gordita. First, the birria machete was so delicious, flavorful and HUGE. The birria was nice and seasoned, without being too salty (which happens quite frequent with birria). Came with some yummy green salsa, red salsa, cebolla curtidas (my favorite) and radishes!!! Wow it felt like I was back home in MX. The gordita was really good, the chicken tinga was very flavorful and i appreciated that the gordita texture wasn't to thick (personal preference). It is a little pricy but the quality and the amount of meat they stuff in them makes up for it!! Will definitely be coming back to try their other items!

    This $8 Pastor Burrito was filled with meat! It was an interesting touch having the vegetables on the side to eat as you please. I'll definitely stop by again to try out the other items. Cash only

    Look how much meat. full.

    See all
