    Machete Birria
    Taylor T.

    Tacos were amazing and fully loaded! Service was immediate and as first time visitors we were informed of each item they had. The Machete is the 20" taco that is equivalent to 4 tacos. Don't worry if you want it that long, they offer hand sized tacos as well. From a food truck, can't really judge ambiance. But they are in a nice location that isn't off a main road. There is plenty of room to park so you don't have to worry about making tight turns. We wish they had some tables to eat outside but we live close-by so we have no complaints.

    Ordered from here a few times, most recently on a Saturday morning at the start of lunch. Their truck is located right by the DMV on a wide road that's easy to turn around on. Ordering process is smooth and they've been quick to prepare our orders. The tacos and machetes are all delicious, unique, and a tad on the spicy side. This will definitely be one of our regular carryout spots!

    Saw this place on TikTok, and the food is amazing! Great small business and very friendly people too.

    Soooo grateful for finding this hidden gem food truck! The most amazing tacos and machete I have ever eaten! Highly recommend stopping here & will definitely be back next visit to Denver! Thank you for your friendly service & delicious food!

    Carne asada machete

    I found this place on Instagram and I'm telling you I can't wait for it to be a restaurant. The owner definitely knows great customer service and knows how to cook some authentic Mexican food anytime I have friends or family visit Colorado I have to take them to this food truck because it is, if not one of the biggest staples of the food truck, Mecca here in Denver. I highly recommend the Carne Asada the chicken or the shrimp machetes full of flavor and big portions. It might be a little expensive for a food truck but I promise you, it's worth every penny, it's very addicting. I warned you! Please give them a try. They're located right off of Peoria and 47th and block west kitty corner from the gas station! Go check em out!

    Excellent food and incredible customer service. We drove from Granby CO to visit their food truck and it did not disappoint!

    I've tried most of the machetes but my favorites are the mushroom and birria.

Looking at taco places, I went with something close by to our location and found this hidden gem. Nestled away on a small street corner of Clay Street and 32nd Ave. parking can be scarce, but I'm sure with the right time and a little bit of walking you will find and manage your way here. Outside the restaurant, they have a small seating area which now is winter too cold to enjoy, but I'm sure in the spring and summer and fall time is super enjoyable. The inside, though a little bit tiny and no cozier than going to your mom's house and expecting a family Filled living room/Kitchen. We went down and greeted by three smiling faces. We already looked at the photos online and knew we want tacos so opted with the chicken tacos and Carne Asada taco plates. The tacos place option came with 5 tacos with up to 2 choices of meats the ratio would be 2:3 .. freshly mashed guacamole made in front of you or freshly sliced avocado.. In the pictures I listed you will find each chicken and Carne Asada options. Both slow pictures missing two tacos because we devoured them as soon as we got into the truck. Their street tacos are heavenly! Chicken option was all chicken breast super juicy grilled to perfection five tacos on a plate another two tacos missing because my husband and I devoured it. This plate came we asked it with the guacamole option instead of fresh avocado. The carne asada was just FULL of flavor and the fresh avocado slices with green tomatillo salsa SLAPPED.. the tortillas are super soft and tears from how fresh the flour tortillas were!! Definitely a place to sit and eat there to enjoy the hot food. I'm originally from SoCal and a heavily populated Latinos with amazing tacos and food.. Taqueria La Familia passed the bar high!! We can't wait to come back and try other options and will update pictures and review then!

    One of my favorite neighborhood spots. Breakfast burritos (w/ house made chorizo) are great and the…read moreguac is the best I've had in town. Owners are awesome too!

It's also very unassuming. It looks like a very small restaurant on the outside but once you are inside, you'll be shocked to see its good size dining area. This place is all about happiness. I mean seriously!! They care about their customers that get satisfied with their service and meals. And it does draw a very diverse crowd from the Hispanics to Caucasians to Asians, I mean you name it. They also get a lot of to-go orders. Some people came in, grabbed their food and went on their way for the night. My friend got the Torta Los Carboncito. This is a massive sandwich with plenty of meat inside. Since the menu has colored picofor almost each item, what caught my attention was the fish dish. There are two of them: one is trout and the other is something else (I forgot) but I got me the non-trout one. The lady asked me if I wanted the flour or corn tortillas so I went with the corn one. As soon as I got home, my late night snacking started. I only took several bites out of that whatever the huge fish. And oh my goodness, it was so delicious! Well-seasoned with very light salt. Although I mainly got it for tomorrow morning/lunch I had a hard time quit eating because of its deliciousness. Extremely welcoming staff (I even met the owner, Alex as he was dining with his family), quality food and value pricing, this place checks out for the hidden gem restaurant that's not necessarily super fancy but it's worth every penny and time. Yelping is so much fun. That is why I cannot quit my foodie-ness! What a nice discovery!
