Stopped by Macho Taco and was pleasantly surprised. The vibe is relaxed, the staff was friendly, and my food came out quick. I ordered the birria tacos, and they were flavorful, well-seasoned, and fresh. The tortillas tasted homemade and the salsa had just the right kick. Overall, it's a solid spot with good food and good portions. I'd definitely come back. read more

The girl at the counter was pleasant. The restaurant itself is kind big, there's plenty of room. But it's like someone went to a taco spot once in SoCal and then went on Amazon and searched "Mexican Stuff". There are a ton of holes in the wall that looks like someone had the intention of repairing and painting over and then just lost interest. Food? Looked really promising!! Burritos were pretty massive so I was pretty excited. They come out looking good, well prepared as far as the tortilla isn't coming apart. They did a good job putting together a burrito that wouldn't fall apart. But that's it. The rice is prepackaged, stale, fake yellow rice that has a weird, off putting flavor, I got carnitas and my wife got carne asada, neither tasted like anything at all. The carnitas ( a slow roasted pork ) honestly tasted like a pork tenderloin that had been thrown in a crock pot with zero seasoning. The bits in my burrito were grey and honestly off putting. I had really high hopes. Went out of my way because I have heard pretty decent things about this place. Saying I was underwhelmed is about as complimentary as I can be. read more

Food is really good. Service was very good and friendly. Ambiance laid back but typical with several peeps in and out to dine. Prices around $35 ish for 2 ppl. Lacked silverware for inside dining but seems to be set for to go more around 10 tables for seating. It is worth a try even more than once. Food is marked as authentic or texmex. read more

Ordered a torta. It did not have cheese listed in the ingredients. I asked for no cheese anyways. Guess what? They put cheese on it. Completely unacceptable for people with good allergies. Don't eat here read more

And place is going strong still plus they very authentic & this time I got myself a burrito bowl with carne asada protein plus had Spanish rice, onions, black beans, cilantro, corn and salsa. Pretty good regardless of what you get & extra note place has authentic Mexican soda/alcohol/spirits & so a extra bonus if you're at MGM Springfield that's a affiliate there & staff is great including making sure if you call them up your order is accurate and made correctly. Service/atmosphere is another plus again and I'm glad I came back to inform you. read more

Macho Taco - By - Tacos Near Me - Agawam, Massachusetts

"I knew a girl, she was a macho man But it's alright, I wasn't fooled for long" (Talking Heads) Macho Taco is a medium sized taqueria and Mexican restaurant that has some pretty nice specials to get you in there on Mondays ($8 Quesadillas), Tuesdays (half off on tacos), and Wednesdays ($8 burritos). We were there on a Friday, so enjoyed no such discounts, but the two of us did have a very good lunch for a little over $26 after tax. Food We were pretty impressed by the range of their menu. They have eight appetizers (think nachos, elote corn, jalapeno poppers), entrees (quesadillas, burritos, flautas, enchiladas, chimichangas), street tacos, and specialty tacos. Just about everything is under $15 (the street tacos are under $4) and the most expensive thing on the menu is a double sized Macho Burrito for $20.99. We ordered a $10.50 Chicken Quesadilla. It came on a flour tortilla and was pretty packed with cheese and chicken, plus some chopped lettuce and tomato and a small container of sour cream. Sometimes similar restaurants offer a small container of pico, salsa, guacamole, etc., but not here. The portion was good sized and half came home with us. BTW, you can upgrade your quesadilla with rice and beans for $6 if you are so inclined. Our other order was a fish taco and a calamari taco at $5.99 each. Both were served on a corn tortilla with chipotle aioli, shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, and sprinkle of queso fresco. The fish taco was very good with a good-sized portion of crispy beer battered fish inside all of that goodness. The calamari taco had bonus of a layer of melted cheese on the corn tortilla, but I was somewhat disappointed by the calamari. It was just two breaded and fried rings, and one of them was "minúsculo", if you catch my drift. But, hey for $6 it was still good. The taco fixings were excellent, and I especially liked the fresh and crisp shredded cabbage. We split a bottle of water for $2. Service There was just one young lady at the ordering counter, and she did a good job keeping the line moving and was helpful when we had some menu questions. After we ordered, she gave us a number to place on our table and the food came out in a very reasonable time. Hot sauces, napkins, and plastic silverware are self-service at the counter. When we finished our lunch, we needed a takeout box for our leftovers. There was no one at the counter, so we helped ourselves at the stack of them off to the side behind the counter. Ambience They have two dining sections at the front of the store and down the side wall beyond the counter, so there are plenty of tables and chairs to sit at. The décor is colorful yellow and orange walls, black and white checked floor tiles, with a few Lucha masks and Mexican inspired artwork and wall decorations. Conclusion The food was solid! Delicious, generously portioned and reasonably priced. If you're in the area and have a craving for Mexican food, you'll enjoy your visit. BTW, I didn't mention that parking is super easy. They're in a strip mall with plenty of spaces. PRO TIP They sell plenty of beers, including three Mexican cervezas. read more

The food was pretty good. Service was pretty decent because it was at the Big E today. Busy!!! Outside vendor so cannot rate ambiance. The customer service was POOR. I just paid $16.00 dollars for Birria Tacos and asked for foil bc I could only eat one taco. The guy server said sure. The girl covers over and lied we don't have any. Don't lie when you know you have foil or something to wrap the leftover food in. Customer service is a lost art these days. It means so much to me that I will not patronize your business again. Not at Big E nor a brick and mortar location. Thanks but no thanks. read more

Low key place with excellent food. It runs as a take out place, and you can order then sit down to dine in.

Location has ample parking. Spacious interior. Quick service. Tacos taste great! If you are super hungry the birria vampiro hit the bill just right. However, I was not too hungry so it taste very greasy to me. I held it with napkins and the grease passed through 3 ply of napkins. The other tacos had the fresh ingredients and do taste like the street tacos that I know of. read more

Excellent tacos! Flavors are on point and staff is friendly as well as helpful. The dining room is basic and very casual.

We were staying in Holyoke and decided to go check out some places for shopping, when we found this little gem. Solid 10 on the queer-o-meter. It's a low key, no frills place with a limited menu. But what they do offer is deliciousness on a tortilla! You can't go in here expecting table service and an expansive menu of fajitas and table side guacamole. You order at the counter, the woman was super nice, then sit and wait. We got shrimp tacos, chips and salsa, and a burrito bowl (vegetarian) It was perfect. Fresh ingredients and full of flavour. Cheers! read more

Used this restaurant for take out. Best and most authentic food I've had. Fresh and delicious.

The food at Macho Taco is much to be desired and leaves you with nothing but a feeling of satisfaction. The nachos with Birria are loaded with toppings and flavor. The enchilada tacos are creative, crispy, and loaded with toppings. The Birria Tacos were crispy and paired incredibly well with the consommé (but after trying the enchilada tacos in it as well I can't imagine any food that doesn't). All three items were split between two people and even though I arrived very hungry I left satisfied. If you are in the area and looking for some easy Mexican food Macho Tacos is the place to be. read more

After seeing that MGM Springfield opened a location, a group of friends and I decided to check out the original macho taco. It's located in a strip mall, a few mins away from Springfield. It's right next to a karate dojo, similar to the Netflix show "cobra Kai". It's a smaller restaurant, it offers seating for about 30 people max. The menu offers your classic grab and go Mexican staples (tacos, burritos, quesadillas, Etc). I got tacos, corn, and quesadilla for over 20 dollars. The food was ok. I expected much more after hearing all of the hype. The Birra tacos didn't blow me away like I expected. Everything was just ok at the end of the day. read more

Love this place! The birria tacos are sooo good. The corn is my favorite and the horchata is good too!!

Had Macho Taco at The Big E. Birria Tacos were good and filled with meat. It went well with the consommé. The Birria ramen on the other hand, was not good at all. Lacked flavor and had no meat. read more

The service has slowed down completely. I was told 25 minutes for a pick up order that is taking well over 45 minutes. Also the food is mediocre at best now. Definitely has gone down hill. Anyone know of any other better Mexican restaurants? read more

Very very good. Hip/trendy take on Mexican cuisine. I was a little concerned when our order of three things came out to over $40 but came to find that my husband had unknowingly ordered probably the largest burrito available in the state, if not the world. The birria tacos were very good and the consume was flavorful, the elote fries were excellent with the fresh corn and cheyene pepper, and the burrito was excellent. Absolutely would recommend - they have modified table service so you order at the counter and they will bring the food over to you. Takeout orders were popping off as well while we were there. Note that they do have modified hours during the big e, they closed at 7 instead of their normal time on Friday and I believe that goes for the whole weekend during the fair. read more

We ordered Macho Taco catering for a party and it was such a hit!! We had about 25 people. I ordered the quarter pan of chicken tacos and the 10 carne asada burritos and there was so much leftover! The chips and salsa were delicious. The burritos were a hit and I got many people asking where they were from. I also ordered the small tray of churros which were so good! I put them I. Little cups with a scoop of ice cream and topped them with the caramel sauce they provided and chocolate syrup, whip cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar! They were soo good! When I called to place the order the girl who took my order was very nice and helpful! And overall the price was great! Will definitely recommend and use again in the future. I can't wait to come in and eat there too! read more

I ordered 3 carnitas tacos. The "carnitas" were hard bits if pork so overdone that they were just bits of tasteless rinds. If I could include a video with sound to drop one of these bits on the plate I would. Place is a hard no. read more

Was expecting a lot more based on the current reviews and photos so here's my take from a non-local. First glance: the menu appears to be a bit more sit-down in vibe. Once you get inside though it feels like a to-go spot. Not quite a Mexican grocery vibe but the counter definitely leans that direction. We ordered chips + guacamole, two Cali burritos, a chicken burrito & a wet burrito. Everything took a really long time to come out (~30min). Chips were greasy and cold and needed salt. Guac was fine but needed salt and lime. Our chicken burrito was missing the chicken. The Cali burrito had a single jalapeño at the bottom; I wouldn't fear spice levels if you visit! The wet burrito was covered with what I would equate to as a canned marinara sauce; horrible would be an u understatement. The chicken was cubed and felt like it had been boiled. It had that rubbery texture that made me happy the chicken had been forgotten in the other burrito. I was only able to get down a bite or two of the wet burrito. Pricing is high for both quality of food and sizes. In total with drinks it came to over $80 for 4 people without tip. The interior is low brow, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but in this space it continues the vibe of a grab & go type of establishment. Don't get me started on the back hallway to the restrooms or the odd smell at the back of the restaurant. I'd highly recommend not visiting the restrooms while you're here and if we end up with food poisoning I most definitely won't be surprised. read more

We were visiting relatives in Connecticut and we ended up in MA for the day. We were a bit burned out on holiday food and we found this place. Restaurant is small, but has more room in the back. You order your food, are given an number and sit down and wait. The wait seemed a bit long, but we didn't mind as we were just chatting and catching up. I love Mexican food and this was outstanding. I had the Birria Vampiros, husband and I shared the Elote Fries, and he had the Wet Burrito. My Birria Vampiros were delicious, hot, fresh and melty. The dipping sauce was perfect. The elote fries were good, I think it could have used a bit more flavoring. My husband's Wet Burrito stole the show. I'd heard of a wet burrito, but just thought it meant one with sauce. This was more of a stew on top and I'm drooling now just thinking about it. This is going to be a new "must stop" every time we visit family. read more

Came here for the 3rd time today to give them a second chance. I will never return to this dump! I ordered a pork, wet burrito, I even asked for light rice. 40 minutes I waited for a pathetic tortilla, filled with rice, sprinkled with some hard pieces of pork. You guys suck! I'll make sure to spread the word. Thanks for stealing my time and money. Garbage, over priced fake Mexican food. Photo below for proof! read more

I am a Mexican food snob. S-N-O-B. I'm from San Diego so it comes with the territory. I live in CT but was making deliveries in MA. After my last one, I pulled up the GrubHub app to try something in MA since I'm not up there often. "Macho Taco." Hmmmm, OK First thing I noticed is that their California Burrito has French Fries. That is the definition of a California Burrito & no one else I've tried in CT understands that. So I ordered that & some elote en vaso (I think it was called Elotise), & a horchata. I showed up to pick up my order & the inside reminded me of home. From the pic of Zapata to the Ranchero music playing to the pic of El Santo & Blue Demon. So far, checking all the boxes. But the food? Oh HELL YEAH!!!!! The elote reminded me of long border waits (the good parts anyway), the burrito was a bit of filler but still tastes great! By far the best Mexican food I've had in my time on the East Coast. I was told that not only was my server from Los Angeles, but the owners are from SoCal too. I'll make the trip again. Fantastic! read more

Came to the casino just to try this place. I had seen it one time before and the fish tacos on the menu caught my eye. When I ordered I immediately knew it was going to be a challenge, there was a lot of confusion, or so it seems. I ordered the American taco with beef, a fish taco, guacamole and chips and a Boston lager. After about 15 minutes the order was ready and the guy working the front gave me the food. He had a bit of an attitude anyway and when I asked where my beer was he tried to say he already gave it to me. He obviously didn't so I corrected him on that. Now the food. The guac was old and brown, the chick were not fresh or very good at all. The fish on the taco was a breaded piece of fish and greasy. Everything was falling out of the American taco. I guess I should have just said it all sucked. Not good at all. And I paid $28 for that garbage too. Save your money, go elsewhere... read more

Not the same as when they started no waitresses and prices went up like everywhere else. Food was alright . All disposable silverware.

The sopes were really good. I liked the crispy part of my corn masa topped with creamy beans and refreshing lettuce. The chicken was abundant, so much you could probably make a second serving. I do recommend. The California burrito on the other hand did not have crispy fries so it was a soggy mess. Also, there was rice in the burrito... I'm sorry, what?! Did someone just want to add random ingredients... yes, yes they did. read more

My wife and I really enjoy good Mexican food - the real stuff not Chi Chi's! Nothing wrong with Tex Mex either but I love the authentic flavors and spices of the real stuff. We really liked Macho Taco! I love spicy foods - my wife likes flavor but not heat and here that was no problem! We're avoiding bread and rice carbs, so I had the Chorizo bowl, and she had the chicken bowl (I think it was called Birra which was chipotle pulled chicken) and they were both fantastic. One annoying and limiting quality of good Mexican food is when they overcook the meats or reheat meat over and over making the meat very dry. That was not a problem here my chorizo was mouthwatering, but the birra was spectacularly tender ....which is often not the case with Mexican food and made it spectacular! Another differentiator of great food of any style, and super important with Latin food is fresh veggies. These guys great house made hot sauce - it was the tastiest bowl I have had in years and that's saying a lot! Lastly - Great service - this isn't a fancy place, but despite that the counter help/ server was another differentiator - she was really nice, super friendly, and suggested great options for us both! I liked it so much I had them wrap up an EXTRA meal to go and will have it later or for lunch tomorrow! If you ever go to this area (we went there after a dog show at eastern expo) I suggest giving it a try. Wish we lived closer but when we're near we'll be back! read more
