    Great attitude of service and the menú is quite fine. Food quality is good and the place is clean. They take your order in advance so you must know what you are heading to. Food take some time to be served so handle your time. I highly recommend being there earlier than 11

    Not five stars because the tortilla was very crunchy. But the chicharron was very good. They make you order your machete (quesadilla) before you sit down. A good place to experience.

    CASH ONLY. Be prepared with your order because you have to order outside before you can go in and sit down. Even though they don’t rush you, that doesn’t leave much time to study the menu. The machete champion was very good. The Hawaiian was not. We also tried the huarache milanese and it was okay.

    Great service and decent quesadilla. Tried the machete taco with queso, mushroom, beans and chicharron.

    1. The host in the entrance is the rudest person I’ve met in CDMX so far. I regret not listening to my guts and leaving at that moment. 2. The food is tasteless and full of grease. I ordered a machete con tocino y bistek. The machete was soaking in oil, and had no tocino. 3. The prices are way too high for what you get, especially that the food is tasteless. 4. There are only 2 waiters for the whole place. It took them 40 minutes to get my my drink. 5. The place is full of greasy smoke. It’s not fun to sit inside. There are plenty of places around that sell machete quesadillas, I recommend going to one of the other ones.

    (Translated by Google) Good service, in these days of the pandemic few people and the stews of the machetes are very rich, the red sauce you cannot miss if you like spicy (Original) Buen servicio, en estos días de pandemia poca gente y los guisados de los machetes muy ricos, la salsa roja no te la puedes perder si te gusta lo picoso

  • 3/5 Jarret P. 5 months ago on Google
    It's a little bit of a walk. It was busy so we waited about 45 mins. We ordered 3 different machete tacos for the 6 of us. When the food eventually arrived, we only got 3 plates and no utensils. We asked for forks and knives plus 3 other plates. The food was ok, not anything to brag about. The size was huge and 3 were enough for the 6 of us. By the time we finished the restaurant was less than half but it still took a while to get our check so we could pay and leave. I think it was our waiter since the other waiter was easily taking care of the other tables faster than us. It was an experience but I wouldn't go back again with all the other options.

    I saw this place on a Youtube video and I made it my goal to visit here if I ever visited the CDMX. My goal was recently accomplished and my visit here was extremely stomach-pleasing. My first time having a two-foot long quesadilla. It was DELICIOUS. The SUPER HOT sauces were good as well. This place is off the beaten path, but I highly recommend it to ALL PEOPLE visiting the CDMX.

  • 5/5 Chuy G. 2 years ago on Google
    Best feast for ur $$. Little cost for a huge meal

  • 5/5 Baron M. 5 years ago on Google
    Bring your appetite. 3 foot long quesadillas are not easily taken down. There will be a very long wait. I went early and still waited 30 min. And if you don’t like Spicy food don’t bother with the salsas on the table. There is nothing mild about them at all

  • 5/5 Hyein P. 4 years ago on Google
    Giant portion of Machetes you can only try here. Dough was pretty thin and crispy like pizza and there were lots of toppings. It was reasonable and fair price. Should go there if you're in close location

  • 5/5 Josh S. 5 years ago on Google
    Come hungry! The machetes are 70cm long that you can fill with whatever toppings you like. With the wait in line, to sit inside and try to devour one.

  • 5/5 Lizy N. 7 years ago on Google
    If you want a taste of mexico you have to stop here. The guaraches and machetes are huge. One is more than enough for one...unless you a the appetite of a giant. Can't leave without trying the "salsa roja" the most delicious I have ever had. Warning is very spicy.

  • 5/5 LM 1 year ago on Google
    If you want to get away from the tourist trap restaurants and try something more authentic put this on your itinerary if visiting Mexico City, the Machetes and Huaraches are delicious! I sampled several ones and they were all great! Everyone in my party loved the food…just be advised cash only and the restrooms aren’t the greatest, but the food is on point!

    First time going to this restaurant. The machetes were excellent. Great taste

  • 5/5 Talice M. 9 months ago on Google
    We tried this place out while on our trip to CDMX and it was soooo filling. You have to order your food in line and once they have tables ready, they let you in. The staff was so nice as well. You cannot bring in drinks from outdoors. They had agua de horchata & jamaica for fresh waters to drink. The machete is huge and it was delicious. The sopes are also huge!!! We had the champion, the tinga de pollo, and bisteq and it was all super tasty. The green sauce was great. Highly recommend! This is a locals favorite, just so you’re aware. The bathrooms aren’t great, but the food is well worth the visit. I would encourage you to know what you want to order prior, and if with someone who is a Spanish speaker, even better. (I am mexican-American so this was no issue, but placing orders and reading the menu can be an issue if you don’t speak Spanish. Machete is a giant quesadilla, in case you read the menu and don’t understand that.)

  • 5/5 Nino S. 6 months ago on Google
    Very tasty and filling. We had a Cubano, Champion, & Suizo. Can't beat the price for what you get!
