    A long view of our booth and the entrance door from inside the eatery.

    Coming to Foley after many years in Tucson, AZ we can say with confidence we KNOW good mexican food. We were pleasantly surprised by this quaint spot just of Miflin by the Glenlakes golf course. We dropped in for an early lunch and were both surprised AND overfed by the staff. They have daily lunch specials which we opted in for but the full menu is varied and offers many favorites we have enjoyed in the past. This day we opted in for the Taco Salad (spouse said it was one of the best she has had) and I went for the Tostada, enchilada (chicken) rice and beans. The volume of food was a 10, taste a 9 and the chips and salsa given to us at the front end were tops. No complaints, clean environment, great waitstaff, reasonable prices, nice menu options and a hidden gem for sure. If you are in the area, suggest you drop in and give the spot a try. No question we WILL be back !!

    Update: The owners contacted me about my experience and were extremely helpful and apologetic. Based off of other reviews my visit must be an anomaly and I'd be open to trying Machos again. Their customer service is top notch and they really seem to care about their customers. ---------------- The owners and employees are very nice, the restaurant is clean with an open feel to it, and the quality of the ingredients used can be seen. Unfortunately, things go down hill from there. Every item has the same seasoning on it and it's used in excess making it so you can't distinguish between each plate. The beans were cold and didn't have any seasoning, whereas the rice is overcooked and obliterated with their seasoning of choice which is also on every meat available. This was a disappointing experience after seeing high reviews. It was an expensive meal when you can't eat anything because it's over seasoned and highly salty. We ordered multiple meals and they all tasted the same because of the seasoning. They were over seasoned and extremely salty. And that's saying something because salt isn't something that normally bothers us. Ironically, there was no salt on the warm tortilla chips. We ordered the carne asada quesadilla plate, the arroz Texas plate, and the Al pastor street fries which were also drowning in raw onion and cilantro.

    After looking for three years for an restaurant in and around the Foley area that provides an authentic Mexican meal, we finally found it at Macho Taco Bar & Grill. Being a pescatarian, having options is a deal breaker. Scanning the menu, I found the perfect lunch item. I ordered the shrimp quesadilla. It delivered!! My only complaint was that I ordered beans and rice and when the plate was put in front of me, I noticed the quesadilla was placed by the refried beans. This caused the quesadilla to be very messy when I attempted to eat it due to the beans juice soaking through the bottom side . But, the food, the guacamole we ordered , the fresh chips and salsa ( brought to the table in a small carafe with two container for each guest to fill) - all were delicious !!

    Macho Taco Today I finally was able to give MACHO TACO a try. First things first, I went for chips and queso, but let me tell you about the salsa Oh my goodness it was so good, the limy salty flavor was addicting of course. I've never had restaurant salsa like that. I sat and ate my chips, queso and salsa, and enjoyed a large margarita, while the lunch crowd started. The atmosphere was nice fun and colorful. All of the waitstaff were very attentive and super nice. I ordered the lunch special chicken chimichanga, and another margarita ok yeah they were GOOD My lunch plate was bigger than I expected, I ate about half and had to take the rest home. You guessed it... gonna have me a Macho breakfast tomorrow 5 stars from me! I'll be back soon!

    My family has visited Gelato Joe's for many years. The first time we went the food, service, and…read moreatmosphere was incredible. We were welcomed like family. Over the years we have seen a steady decline in the upkeep of the restaurant, the service staff checking on customers and the food quality. The one item that has gone up exponentially is the cost of everything on the menu. We have continued to spend money here out of some false sense of nostalgia in hopes to see this place rebound. The picture I have included is a broken dish our food was served in. Luckily it was noticed before anyone in our party cut their hands on the protruding shards. The only reason I am giving this review 3 stars is because the live music performance by The Heat at the time we stopped in kept us there. I highly recommend looking them up and planning a night out to see them.

I selected the strawberry salad which was also terrific. Our family loved this place. For dessert, they had a dozen plus flavors of gelatos and pastries. We also tried their cannolis. There was one chocolate dipped cannoli left and I fully believe no cannoli should be left alone. If you've never had a chocolate dipped cannoli in your life, you'll experience the same life changed moment I went through after taking my first bite. If you're in Foley or nearby, this is the place to eat at if you're in the mood for Italian food. It was worth every penny we spent.

It's in a small shopping center that has lots of dining/dessert options. I only managed to make it about 45 minutes before close, so parking was easy and it wasn't busy. It smelled nice inside and looked clean. They offer a lot of different gelato desserts; the main draw I think is the twister cone, which is a baked cone that seems to be a donut-like pastry. This looked really good, but I was still too full from dinner to want anything quite that large. Service was a bit of a mixed bag. Two employees were there; one was a friendly young man who was clearly new as the other employee was teaching him how to ring up orders; the other was a surly older woman who seemed annoyed that I'd stopped in. I'm somewhat sympathetic since I did come in a little close to COB, but I don't think ~45 minutes is too unreasonable. I asked if they could make one of their signature cones in a cup instead and they agreed. I got the tiramisu variety, which is tiramisu and coffee gelato with coffee syrup and a ladyfinger. It was made in a reasonable time and I was rung up and headed out to my car to bring it back to eat at my hotel. The price was a little high but the portion was absolutely massive. You could easily split this treat. I certainly was unable to finish it. Overall, I thought it was only okay. The texture of the gelato was lovely, but the flavors were just kind of muted. I thought it should've been a bit sweeter, but not because the coffee was too strong; indeed, the coffee flavor was also just sort of light and unobtrusive. The syrup had an artificial taste that I wasn't crazy about and I was relieved when I'd eaten down past it to just spoonfuls of gelato. Lastly, the ladyfinger was sadly very stale, and even an attempt at ice cream rehydration didn't help it much. If I were to return, I'd definitely try one of the twister cones and would probably opt for a different flavor. Curiosity sated, for now!

They are only open for dinner which starts at 3pm and then depending on the day they close at 8pm or 9pm. When I arrived right at 3pm they already were jam packed but I fortunately was able to grab a table two days in a row after failing to get a table multiple times when I showed up around 5pm and 6pm. The owners are originally from New Orleans so that immediately let me know I was going to be in for some good food. I sampled soup, pasta, pizza, a sandwich and their dessert. I was happy with all of the food and only have a minor issue with the pizza as it is more of a thick crust and I prefer thinner crust pizza. The service was attentive and took good care of me. They also offer specials which they will post on Facebook sometimes. Overall I like this place but having to arrive so early to get a table throws my dining schedule off.
