Visited around 4pm for Happy hour food & drinks. They were very accommodating for our party of 10. Our server Kay was very attentive! The food was really good, and with happy hour prices it was completely worth it! Delicious, thank you 🙂

This review is for takeout only. We ordered food to-go on 7/26/23. It was ready in 25ish minutes. Unfortunately, they forgot chips and queso, but they were very pleasant when we called to get a refund on that.

Excellent flavor. Finally a restaurant where they aren’t afraid to add flavor to their food! Good portions. The salsa is great. Will definitely return in the future. We’re so glad we stopped here. Fabulous Service.

This was our first time visiting. They have happy hour specials which were great!! I had the macho burrito with smoked chicken. It was really great! My son had the brisket taco and he loved it. They had a chocolate dessert on the menu but they didn’t have it to serve, which was disappointing. We will definitely be back!!

Absolutely amazing food! Macho Taco is a must stop if you’re looking for a restaurant to visit alone or with family and friends. I was off one day and wanted to eat somewhere with good energy and good food and knew I wanted to go back to Macho Taco. I had eaten there once before and knew I wanted to go back sooner than later and I’m glad I chose sooner. I ordered the Smothered Enchiladas and… oh my where they smothered and delicious. Crispy and full of flavor with a smokey flavor. Comes with three and I ate them all! Not a traditional restaurant in all the good ways. Both of their inside and outside seating will make you enjoy your visit even more!

We started off with the Fried Lobster Bites. Our first time having lobster fried and I’m for it! Macho Margarita was delicious. Tacos are definitely bang for your buck – loaded with meat! The Smoked Pork Chimichurri was my favorite! Thank you for the fantastic guest service! Located conveniently on Hwy. 98 in SRB if you want to avoid Highway 30A crowds. Giving this review 4 stars for now because we dined in a second time and the children’s taco was extremely tough to eat – chewy, dry & stringy meat.

What an unsuspecting but amazing spot. We stopped in for a casual lunch with no expectations and were absolutely blown away! The service was excellent and every recommendation was spot on. Spicy margaritas and street tacos (esp. steak umami taco and cool ranch) were the best I have ever had. Even the kids meals, salsa and black beans were absolutely packed with flavor. Outstanding food, colorful artwork, kid-friendly and fun vibe. 10 out of 10 recommend!
