" I really wanted to love this place based on all I heard, but I left feeling disappointed. The food was okay at best—nothing to rave about. The service was slow, and I had to wait far too long for my order. The machete I got was underseasoned, and I just didn’t feel like it had that authentic Mexican flair I was hoping for. The location and setup are cute, but without good food and service to back it up, I don’t think I'll be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The final decision for me was the machete I got, which came with an array of toppings making it visually striking. The taste was equally impressive! While the place could use a bit of an upgrade in terms of seating arrangements, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and felt satisfied with what I spent for the meal. Cannot recommend them enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was skeptical about how authentic the food would be at a food truck, but this place is truly impressive! My machete was enormous, and the variety of flavors was absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly; they helped me pick the right toppings and salsas. Only complaint was the parking situation—hard to find a spot, but definitely worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was such a treat, but I must say, the food took a while to come out. However, when it did, it was really worth the wait! The machete I ordered was so full of meat, I couldn't believe it. Very delicious and filling! I reckon their service can improve at busy times, but the quality of the food speaks volumes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Double thumbs up for Machetes 'Doña Leova'! Everything I tried was scrumptious and well-prepared. The staff were cheerful and attentive, ensuring my experience was top-notch. I found the ambiance to be delightful—a perfect spot to enjoy great food with friends. I will definitely be returning for another flavorful machete soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to visit Machetes 'Doña Leova' recently, and I must say, the hype is real! The machetes are massive—seriously, I could barely finish one! I tried the al pastor and it blew me away with its rich flavor. The staff were friendly, helping me choose the right salsa, which added the perfect kick. I can't wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" A must-visit for anyone who craves authentic Mexican food! The machetes are the size of your plate, filled with delightful ingredients. The vibrant atmosphere, mixed with friendly staff, made my visit enjoyable. I will absolutely return here—such great food! " (*Curated Review*)
