Machetes, Quesadillas Gigantes

tatiana guevara

We bought 2 Machetes, one Pastor, one Bistec. The picture I attached is 1 machete cut in half to fit in the plate. They were both delicious. She was giving away a birria broth with the purchase of a Machete and it was AMAZING! MY KIDS, HUSBAND AND I were extremely pleased with the meal! The best way to describe it is, the taco shell feels and taste like a gordita but its loaded with all the great stuff from a loaded Taco. Beans, cheese, avocado and meat... Then you have a grilled Chile jalapeno or Serrano and cucumber on the side. This place is Great. Not to mention the kind women making the food and the Great Music that had us moving our whole visit. I totally Recommend this place! 10/10

GOD DAMN GOOD!!!! The machete is packed with meat and flavor. Fresh veggies and hella fulfilling. A must try. To go orders are well packed with plenty of sauce. Green or red, it don't matter, damn spicy. Long,long,long hella long.

These machete tacos are HUGE! I asked for a recommendation, and got the crazy machete which comes with four different types of proteins, beans, cheese & avacado. Lots of garnishes. I think my favorite protein in this one was the al pastor.

"Five Stars *but*…" Why the "but"? These machetes are at their very best right out of the window, and our experience is that a long ride home does not improve them, so belly up to the table immediately. Please, do yourself a favor: Splurge on a beverage, sit at the clean tables in an enclosed & pleasant dining patio, and enjoy Doña Leova's selection of interesting salsas on your machete(s). At this writing, a machete is about $20, but consider the size, the quality, and the cheerful attention to your dining experience. We return, getting & sharing different types of machetes, and experimenting with the salsas. And I bet you will too. (If you're in the mood for something less intimidating than a machete, try a Huarache.)

A little food truck but I love their Gordita’s and machetes. It’s a bit pricy but definitely worth it! Food is 10/10.

I went here for the first time for lunch today, I ordered 3 pollo tacos and for $3 each I thought the tacos were flavorful, good sized and filling, I also appreciated them not charging tax on my meal, I'm definitely coming back to Machetes the next time I'm in the area, they only accept cash

Great mexican food spot, they have the best machetes!!! Totally recommend it.

A GEM! Wonderful service and tastes like heaven. I will be coming back for many days to come. It’s cash only so make sure you bring your cash. I got the pastor machete and it was amazing.

Delicious machetes with fresh corn tortillas! Good price for the size ($20)- they’re huge with generous meat and cheese! Each is enough for 2 people. Comes with salsas and pickled veggies. Got the deshebrada, bistec and birria de res- all were delicious (especially the birria). Bring cash- its cash only. 💵

Best Tacos in north Austin. told my co-workers that we should check it out we all agreed this was amazing food and staff. ordered 5 machetes between us. Going to be coming back for sure. Just remember cash only. Also took us a few minutes to find them I think they moved location they are now in the parking lot of China spice 9710 N. Lamar. Going to be telling everyone about this place.

I had an amazing experience at this Mexican restaurant! The machetes were generously sized and tasted absolutely delicious. The spicy chili added a perfect kick, while the pickled onions and sauces elevated the flavors even more. The tacos were equally impressive—so flavorful and well-prepared. Beyond the food, the service was outstanding. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the music along with the overall vibe made the experience even better. My friends and I had a fantastic time, and this place has officially become our go-to late-night food spot. For parking there are a lot of spots so no need to worry about that. Highly recommended!

No joke the machete was as long as my forearm. We got 2 for 2 people thinking they were gonna be like 2 tacos each, no they lasted us 2 days, it was a LOT of food. So the price makes more sense when you think of it like that. We got a pastor and one of their combo machetes, both were good but the meat could have been seasoned better.

The machetes and consommè were good! Had an horchata too. Overall nothing special.

Great vibes, and atmosphere Tortillas were excellent for the machete. Got the machete loco and while the mix of meats was nice, it tasted bland. The horchata was too sweet.

Yesterday I took the trouble to go buy something at the place. the lady who was cooking was somewhat rude and bad-tempered He didn't want to sell what we were asking about and it was on the menu.Very bad customer service

Food truck on Dessau. Ordered a menudo and posole to go. 32 ounces was 2/3 soup 1/3 meat. Menudo had 3 bones. I paid $15 each. Not the best value or taste
