" From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly staff, and the food was amazing! I tried the combination machete, and it was not only delicious but beautifully presented. There was a comfortable atmosphere, and I loved how fresh the ingredients tasted. I am definitely making this a regular stop whenever I'm nearby! " (*Curated Review*)

" Judging by the other reviews, I had very high expectations. While the food was good, it didn't surpass my expectations. The portion sizes were generous, and the flavors authentic, but I found the service to be missing that extra warmth that makes a meal special. Don’t get me wrong, I would definitely eat there again, but I think they can use a little more attention on customer engagement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here for the birria and wow, I was blown away! The flavors were authentic and transported me back to Mexico. My only complaint would be that it was a bit busy, so I had to wait longer than expected, but the food was definitely worth it. I’ve already told several friends they need to check this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the authenticity of these machetes! Each bite filled with real flavors from traditional recipes. The portion sizes were huge! I can’t recommend it more; the machined taco scene in Austin really began with this food truck. Be sure to ask for their spicy salsa as well—it elevates the entire meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food but questionable hygiene practices. Although I enjoyed my meal, I noticed a lack of gloves worn by some staff while preparing food, which made me uneasy. The host was friendly and the atmosphere was lively! It's a shame, because the delicious flavors of the machetes overshadowed the concerns about cleanliness. Just hoping they improve on that, as I would love to return for the amazing food. " (*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*)
