Large variety of tacos. Tried the shrimp, chicken, and lobster tacos. All were very good. They’re street taco size, but they offer a big bite. I had 5 total, but was satisfied after eating 3. Took 2 home.

Good kinda tastes like it was inspired by Machete’s prison time, but the price does not. Brought a lot of salsas though which I always appreciate. Two were pretty good.

Really good tacos and the queso fundido was on point. My favorite taco of the three was the Arrachera Chile Arellano. Definitely a must have. The staff were great. Nice outside seating area while you wait.

I was stoked to try Machete T&T as I’m on the hunt for Denver’s best taco. Sadly this wasn’t it. The flavors were okay, the queso was okay, and the guacamole was not guacamoling. That’s about it. I left slightly disappointed after seeing “best tacos in Denver”, this was not it. The ambiance and music was very whitewashed, like a club that serves mid tacos. Might be a great spot to catch a game!

Tacos were fine, not great. Drinks were good. Patio is nice. Tacos are pretty over priced. But worst of all, I’m sick of businesses like this that are local chains putting an equitable pay tax on the customer. The minimum wage was raised for you to pay your employees better, not to pass it on to us. If you were a small standalone shop maybe, but you have something like 4 locations. Just reeks of greedy ownership and rubs me the wrong way.

Hands down some of the best tacos in Denver. The food is good and the service and staff are great. My only complaints are that the tacos are expensive. Not to mention you have to pay additional for rice and beans. For example, if you are dining for 2 and you get 6 tacos + rice and beans for two it’s literally $50 dollars for 2 people EXCLUDING drinks. That is EXPENSIVE for just tacos. Not to mention the owners added a 3% surcharge fee to offset Denver legally requiring higher minimum wage. Not sure how I feel about that as it feels disingenuous.

Few things I look for, nice ambience (especially something different from the everyday “box style”restaurants these days) friendly service and GOOD FOOD! If I’m going to spend top dollar on tacos they better be on point… these WERE! Great tasting and while I only had 2, they filled me up. You do have to pay for the chips and dips (4) but they’re really good! Good selection of Mexican draughts, enjoyed this dinner and time there.

100% false advertisement to have this sign out on Cinco De Mayo if you are not honoring it. Even worse when we brought it up and you didn’t remove the sign. Go to Mezcal a couple blocks down. Great food, friendlier waiters, and an actual happy hour that they are honoring even if it’s Cinco De Mayo.
