What a fantastic spot. Everything is fresh and the portions are above average size. Can’t wait to come back!
Awesome giant quesadilla, and you can pick two fillings in one quesadilla.
I love a giant cheesy meal :) the tortillas are corn and the fillings are delicious.
My husband and I loved the food at this place. Very clean and fast service.
These steak tacos were too crunchy due to 50% of the meat being charred. There is room for improvement.

“Sorry but have the reason why I order this is for the amazing fresh toppings”
I got Here one hour before they close but meat was cold they are in the hurry for closing the place that the service is not good cold food bad service !!!
Nasty rancid horchata. It tasted really bad and 4 dollars for a medium horchata.

I am from Mexico City and from California to New York and from Mississippi to Wisconsin is hard to find Real Mexican food, in Chicago every “ Mexican restaurant thinks that lettuce cheese and sour cream has to be in every single plate , disgusting. Machetes with out the lettuce sour cream and cheese. Will make a perfect plate. That took me to my hometown. Fresh made from scratch, authentic flavors and delicious.

“Absolutely delicious food.”
Absolutely delicious food. We ordered our favorite of two machetes quisobirrias and one junior. They even gave us a free sample of fried chicken and it was awesome. The taste may be authentic but the music and atmosphere is modernized which is a clever mix of culture and nationality 🇲🇽🇺🇸

“I got the machete asada here for dinner.”
I got the machete asada here for dinner. What a great spot and good choice the portions were huge couldn’t finish. It had to take a box to go. They also have a sauce bar you can choose any sauce you like and they have extra onions on there feels like more lettuce and a bunch of other stuff at the sauce bar, highly recommend this place the food was really good and the portion is huge for the price definitely will be back next time I’m in the area. Thank you.

“I ordered the machete with asada & pastor.”
I ordered the machete with asada & pastor. It arrived plain and I must have given a very confused look because that’s when the staff told me that I had to walk up to the bar area and add my own stuff. I actually liked that concept. Only problem was that it was a small area and only 1 person can go at a time; if it was busy, I would probably find it annoying. Food was not bad. I liked their horchata too.

Big open-face quesadillas with an open bar full of sides and sauces. Lots of different meat choices. I'll be coming again to try them all.
