" As someone who has lived in Mexico, I can confidently say that Machaca serves some of the most authentic Mexican food I’ve had in the area. Everything from the salsas to the mole is made with skill and care. I paid a visit last week and enjoyed a beautiful plate of enchiladas verdes alongside fresh guacamole. The décor is charming, and the service was prompt and attentive. I'll be returning this weekend! " (*Curated Review*)

My only wish is that they had more vegetarian options, but the food was still fantastic overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my first experience at Machaca last week and it was excellent! The homemade tortillas were fantastic. I ordered the enchiladas, and the sauce had the perfect amount of spice. While the service was friendly, we did experience a longer wait for our food than expected. Despite that, I’m looking forward to coming back soon since the food was so good! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an incredible meal at Machaca recently! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth from the staff. The drinks were fantastic, especially the spicy margaritas. I ordered the carne asada and it was cooked to perfection. However, a small downside was the wait time for our meal. Despite that, it was certainly worth it. Highly recommend this hidden gem!
