The restaurant itself was clean and cutely decorated. I had mole enchiladas with mixed vegetables. I'm not a vegetarian but I generally prefer veggies to meat. I was pleased that mix veggies was an option. The mole was the best I've ever had. Not just chocolate in chicken broth with spices but something way more complex and nuanced. Chips were generic, but the accompanying salsa was awesome-homemade with a kick on the back end. Mr. had a fairly simple burrito that he enjoyed but he says next time he plans to turn it up to something more exotic. We will definitely be back and adding this place into our regular date night rotation.

They had a great taco special for $1.35, which was a steel also got the two Timmy's plate the fish taco with corn tortillas and the Carne Asada burrito. All the food was great like a fish taco was a little bland. Got the wrong kind of salsa on it so it wasn't a ton of flavor. Portions were generous prices were very reasonable. We'll definitely be back here. Parking was simple. Only downside was the service was lacking - took a while to be acknowledged but not a deal breaker. Interior had plenty of space for eating with a couple TVs. Would recommend for good cheap Mexican!

We got to enjoy the patio but there's only one table so don't plan to enjoy outside. Kids menu has great selection and they offer milk, chocolate milk, soda and juices. They have beer and soda for adults. We enjoyed hardshell tacos with spicy pork and shredded beef, enchiladas and chips and salsa. The arbol salsa had great flavor and excellent heat. I enjoy spicy but it was very tolerable with a nice kick. I'd say 7/10 on the heat.

The steak asada tacos are my favorite -- the beef is perfectly salted and so flavorful. I also enjoyed the chicken tinga tacos, which has a tomato-based adobo sauce. The barbacoa tacos were juicy but I would've liked a little more salt. Don't miss the condiment area, where you can get lime wedges and mild, medium, and hot salsas. The mild salsa wasn't spicy at all and added nice flavor to the tacos. The medium salsa isn't that spicy if you have a spice tolerance. The hot salsa is more hot than flavorful. Food is made quickly and service is friendly.

My daughter has been here numerous times and recommended this place for tacos. We put in our order and waited for our number to be called. We grabbed our drinks and sauces while they cooked our food. We sat by the front where the high tops are looking into a glass. You can see the lady making fresh tortillas and they have the machete tacos too!! These are 1 feet taco, equivalent to 3 tacos. I will have to order it next time. Alot of people came to order takeout, otherwise the restaurant was full of patrons with their family. Restaurant is a good size, clean, and self service.

It's a bit easy to miss, so be on the lookout. There is plenty of street parking on the side streets. I am vegetarian and the staff were very thorough in sharing what options could be made for me. I ordered the cheese enchiladas. They came with rice and beans as well. It was a good amount of food! I would say the food was good but nothing amazing. I think I would have liked a bit more flavor in the enchilada sauce. That said, the folks that run this place are very kind -- I'll be back to try other dishes!!

Unassuming little place on the main street…read more An intended ICE arrest had led to a death by an ICE agent earlier today. A friend and I, rattled, decided to take his dog for a walk through their new neighborhood. We'd intended to visit Homi and other POC eateries soon. No time like the present, given current state of affairs. Grabbed an order of birria tacos and a large horchata to share before walking the two blocks back to their place to enjoy. The order took longer than expected, considering no diners or pickup orders. Was glad to see the ICE situation playing on their TV, which they were actively watching before we arrived, instead of maintaining a perfect dining environment while this tenuous situation was developing in our cities. My first time having birria tacos. Oh, I've been missing out! Definitely adding to my regular orders. Juicy, tender chunks of meat, plenty of consomé for dipping. The double taco shell with melted cheese layered in between was too much for me personally, but I could see that being very popular with the general public. The horchata was sweeter than I prefer and a tad watery for my taste. Especially given we'd found our favorite horchata in the Twin Cities yet a few weeks ago nearby. The place we recently visited remains our top favorite in the area, but this spot will see plenty of visits given its decent quality and proximity to my friends' new home.

This is located in a strip mall with tons of free parking! Walking up there were a few tables that were outside, in the shade! Inside there are a few more tables but if you have a larger group, I'd say do a pick up order! The decor here is minimal but there were a couple tvs on. Service here was wonderful! The gentleman who took my order was nice and followed up with me while I ate. The food: the Quesabirria tacos were good. Best in the twin cities? No. I like a good meaty taco, but these had some fatty bits, just not my preference. The consume, was very tasty and I liked the lime wedge and onions/cilantro on the side so I could add as much or as little as I wanted. They had 3 spicy sauces and they all had a good flavor! The churros were a great sweet treat at the end! The horchata had a good flavor! Overall my experience here was good! This is definitely worth trying if you are in the area!

I tried many of their birria dishes and, for the most part, liked what I had. Some of my favorites are the birria torta and the birria mulita, both of which had not only a good amount of meat but also cheese that were burned enough to give that crispy and the salty flavor. Oh, and having avocado in the torta was really nice. I didn't enjoy the birria ramen as much because the broth was extremely salty so it was only possible for me to eat the noodles. I thought that more noodles would be needed to neutralize the flavor. Overall I would still recommend this place, and it's good to know that they have multiple locations in various areas of the Twin Cities metro, including their Eat Street Crossing store, which has been quite popular!

Golden, crispy, stuffed to perfection, and smothered in saucy goodness--it was so good I half‑expected it to come with its own fan club. The vibe here is festive without trying too hard--bright colors, upbeat energy, and staff who make you feel like you're part of the party. Drinks are solid (the horchata is basically dessert in a glass), and the menu has enough variety that you'll want to come back just to work your way through it. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and honestly, if you leave hungry, that's on you. Bottom line: Machete isn't just serving dinner--it's serving main character energy. And that chimichanga? Out of this world, baby.
