    Cold hard oily AF adobada and wilted avocado salsa
    Tess K.

    Zero stars Boy has this place gone down hill or was today just a bad night? Ordered $80 worth of food and it all went in the trash. The fries tasted like old fryer oil. The adobada was swimming in grease and tasted like it had been fried in old grease. The avocado salsa was super wilted by the time I got to my destination (10 min away) Literally everything I ordered tasted HORRIBLE! It was my kids birthday so I didn't have time to go back and ask for a refund because trust me it was inedible and if it wasn't my kids birthday I'd be back in there. I don't understand how someone who works at a restaurant would think it's ok to serve food like this. Is it because it was a takeout order and we wouldn't see it til we got to our destination? We literally had to door dash food from somewhere else because it was sooo bad. Carne asada was nothing but charred fat. Oh and did I mention everything was cold! Like super cold. I placed the order 10 Min before I arrived and it took me 10 min to get to my destination once the order was picked up. There is no way my food would be that cold in that time.

    Dear Taco Machin, Your tacos are the best! But your salsa doesn't honor your tacos properly! Provide a better salsa with real heat, cilantro and chunks of tomato instead of this watery bland mess.

    OMG!! One of the best TJ Tacos I ever had! I had the Carne Asada, Pollo Asada & Chicken tacos. I ate them so fast and was not able to take photos. Service was fast and friendly and I was dancing to the music they are playing. Definitely great vibrs.

    Probably better if you don't do delivery! Ordered Nachos Machin Cachete Burrito Cebollitas Chile Gueros Rojo y Verde salsa The nachos were so soggy that the chips were not crunchy at all. Prepared on paper so with the soggy once you get to the bottom it is truly up to you to guess if its cheese, sour cream or paper that you're about to eat. Was the most excited for cachete since it's hard to find. I added guacamole to the burrito. The Cachete itself had no flavor. Once I added onion, chile, salt, lime and both salas it was pretty good! A bit soggy but good! It's cachete you have to expect the wetness. The red salsa threw me off from just the bright color. Both Salas were just okay. My personal experience is the green had more flavor than the red. Neither were spicy at all.

    First time trying Taco Machin. We ordered 3 adobada tacos, 1 carne asada taco, Cali burrito and horchata, which cost us roughly $50, including tip. The adobada tacos tasted the best out of our order but I would say it's comparable to other taco shops with lower price point. The corn tortilla it came with was pretty good, soft but has a bit of crunch around the edges. The carne asada taco was just ok. It was a little bland for our taste. The Cali burrito was just ok. Horchata was good but we both noticed there were more people ordering Jamaica. That must be the popular drink. The inside is spacious, digital menus, and looked clean. Went here on a weeknight and was lucky to find parking right up front but I can see how it can be challenging during the busy times because it's in the same area as a fruitas, salon and paletas place. Customer service was great and food was served fairly quickly.

    I love this spot. I came here with my mom for our first visit from a recommendation and we were both so impressed. My mom tends to be a harsh critic for food she did not cook on her own, but she loved it!! The adobada and lengua here are my favorites, and the tortilla here, chefs kiss!!! The staff is always so kind and patient so it's always a great visit! The parking here is a little tight with a few spots for the corner plaza, but I've never had an issue, even on a Sunday afternoon.

    Stopped by around 7ish on a Thursday and it was somewhat busy with families sitting around. What we ordered and ratings: - carne asada taco: 5/10 it was okay - adobada tacos: 7.5/10 probably my favorite taco we ordered - tripas tacos: 7/10 pretty standard - horchata drink: 5/10 kind of watered down? Overall, we enjoyed the food and service. They were fast to give us our order shortly after ordering. They were quick to clean up tables after people left. Inside was kind of dark inside/dim lighting. I'd come back during the day to see if the food and service is consistent.

    Been wanting to try this place and made a stop by for dinner. Super mellow ambience and liked the decor and style they have going on for the restaurant. Nice taco shop in Bonita area! Customer service is great, the gal at the register was so sweet and nice, she was patient with me as I made a big order for my first time trying this place. Tried a few different tacos from Birria, carne asada, chicken, cheese, and carnitas with a side of horchata!! Loved how much guac they threw on the tacos, I would say the tortillas are different from what I normally get for tacos. Wished they had a variety of hot sauces since I love hot sauce with my tacos!! The meat was tender and the tacos had good flavor to it. Will def come back to try other items on the menu.

    Carne asada burrito

    Tried this place finally, and happy with the food. I did pick up so can't speak on service specifically. Ordered the carne asada Nachos (large) and they are great for 2 people to get full. I also ordered the carne asad burrito which was delicious. Loved the carne asada and would come back here again! Just wish the burrito was a bit bigger for the price, but that is the only complaint.

    Taco Machin tacos are the closest to Tacos el Franc that I have found on the U.S. side of the border. And that's a huge compliment in my opinion. I live close enough and I was loving the taco machin so much for a brief period I wanted to go everyday! But then... like anything good that you have too often you get particular. The food quality is inconsistent and depends on the cook that makes the taco. Once I had a taco machin where they forgot to add the beans and I only realized as I was almost finished. Another time, they added the beans after the guacamole and that was the least appetizing looking taco ever! I will see if I took a photo to share... Service is hit and miss, sometimes they will bring it out and sometimes they call you to pick it up at the counter and there were occasions where my order was mixed up when I've gone to the counter to pick up the food. Their Agua frescos are a little pricey but they are delicious. The correct amount of sweet and flavor. My favorite is the watermelon.

    Taco Machin, Tripa mulita

    Food came out fast and was incredibly fresh! We tried the tripa mulita, machin taco, cachete and asada tacos, all were excellent!

    Guacamole all over my bag and container.. so much for chips and guacamole.. I guess it's just chips this time

    2nd time I go here get food to go and get home with salsa all over my bag this time it was my guacamole.. order chips and guacamole and get home to this

    Delicious TJ style tacos that are made by hand. So flavorful and good. The first time I came the salsa was killer and so spicy. Must of been the chiles. The salsa is good and complements the meat so well. Great local spot. Everything I have gotten here lately has been so on point and delicious. Craving it now that I am writing this review. Great customer service. You order, they give you a number and bring your food to the table. Love how they have bottles of salsa, limes and radishes on the side for you to get yourself. I love limes on my tacos!

    Some of the best birria tacos I've tried. Great carne asada tacos as well. If you're craving tacos, can't go wrong with this gem.

The next morning, we went back to the place and waited for the manager to arrive. When she came, we explained our problem. She refused to help and said it wasn't her problem as she had to clean the bar. We were surprised to hear that... because aren't bars are supposed to be cleaned nightly???? The manager went inside to "look" for the phone and came back outside in less than five minutes, saying she didn't find it. My cousin is a busy woman and needs her phone to answer important calls, but the manager was very disrespectful and rude, even acting foolish with a child in her hands( (who brings a child to a bar) Finally, the manager let us into the bar, we found my cousin's phone next to the door showed it to her. I guess she took it the wrong way because she must've not looked correctly. However, the manager still told us to drop our attitude after the fact that we had found my cousins phone and we're already out the door. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL . It was almost embarrassing because why would you speak to someone who helps serve your country? In conclusion, this place gives off BAD vibes, and I DO NOT RECOMMEND GOING HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO HAVE A BAD TIME. If I could give this place negative stars I would. She made it seem like it was a chore to help us she has ZERO customer service.

    I went out of my way to come here because of the high rating on Yelp and their Department of Health…read morescore. The location appears to be a repurposed building that probably served as another type of eatery in the past. I'd guess the building dates back to at least the 80s. It is a small building that has booths and regular tables inside with a counter for ordering. Outdated interior that could use some updating. The faint smell inside reminded me of roach spray. The prices are more reasonable than other Mexican/Taqueria places and I liked that you can order plates that include a bit of guacamole and beans instead of having to order these as side dishes. There is no self serve salsa bar though. I got the carne asada plate that came with a generous portion of meat, along with rice, beans, guacamole, a few tortilla chips, a bit of grated cheese, choice of tortilla, 1/2 a lime, and a bit of red hot sauce and green medium hot sauce. The portion size was perfect and better than most places. Taste was overall good, however, I found the meat to taste a bit too salty and some of the meat was too dry from cooking to eat. I have had better carne asada elsewhere, however, these days it is hard to find so the carne asada here is better than the average these days. I recommend Graciela's if you are in the area for a cheap, quick meal. Lots of parking in a big free lot shared with other businesses.
