This place definitely has a vibe! I'm not a huge fan, but it was fun. It's loud and everything is REALLY close together. The food is delicious. We got tacos and chips and salsa with guacamole. The food actually has flavor, so if you think Taco Bell is full flavored.... This will be way too spicy for you. I like the assortment of salsas and the guacamole was very fresh. The chips are clearly made here and that's awesome. The tacos all tasted amazing and I can't pick which was my favorite. We will be back again, very very good food

It's small but fun! Not a huge space and the patio looks awesome if the weather is good. Just a heads up, if you have any issues with stairs then this might be a hassle for you; you have to go a set down stairs to the entrance. The vibe is very fun making it a fun catch up or a good date place. Our waitress was awesome! Always checked on us and made some really great recommendations. The chips and salsa were awesome, I loved the creamy green one! I had 3 different taco and they were all amazing! I highly recommend trying Machete out!

Service is pretty good but food is awesome. All their tacos and quesadillas I've had have been delicious and honestly reasonably priced compared to some of the other restaurants here in the Cherry Creek area, will be frequenting more often to try the rest of their menu!

I met a friend for lunch on a Sunday at Machete. She recommended we order the chips and salsa. Most of the salsas were a bit spicy for me but the chips are clearly homemade and unique, they were addictive. I ordered an Al pastor taco and Arrachera con Chile Relleno Taco. The later was so spicy I had to remove the pepper just to finish it. The Al Pastor was very flavorful. Both tacos were decent size so I was full from that. I had a skinny margarita with salt on the rim. The margarita was as expected but had a bit too much ice in the glass so when I drank it slashed a bit. I would definitely go back and highly recommended stopping in if you are in Cherry Creek and want a quick bit of Mexican food.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! We came here with 6 people and they sat us immediately! Our server was amazing! He kept our drinks full and great recommendations, too. Please note this place is not wheelchair friendly, they have over 20 stairs you have to go down because it's on the lower level, I don't know if there is an elevator somewhere I didn't see but we had a stroller and had to take the baby out to bring the stroller down with us. We shared the queso fundido and added chorizo, and that was the best decision! They give you tortillas to pull apart the cheese, the cheese was so stringy, and the chorizo was amazing! They have this awesome deal where you get 12 tacos for $57, it was perfect for us because we were gonna get 2 tacos each anyway. I chose the chorizo taco because it had mango salsa, and it was to die for! I could eat that taco every day! I also chose the pastor chicken, and the pineapple salsa was the perfect pairing. I got the fruitas margarita because I had to try thier tequila. It was perfect! It's not too sweet but yet really strong. I liked the sugar on the rim and the dried fruit added. They do not skimp on the alcohol! It was so strong that I was feeling it after only half. This place was so amazing, I highly recommend coming here!

Great place for anything that has to do with tequila or mescal or sotol. It was mid to late afternoon on Tuesday. We perspired like nobody's business at the botanical gardens nearby (it was super hot in its mid 90 degrees). We were desperate for something that'd quench our thirst. Machete was simply a perfect place for it. Whether it's a margarita or shot of tequila or mescal or sotol, you will find something on the menu as it's got some variety. I didn't eat any food though (some of our friends ordered chips and salsa and shishito which I didn't partake.) Service was prompt. This is not a super fancy place in any way but fancy appearance doesn't always guarantee the quality of the food they serve. Price wise, they are right at the point where they are not too expensive (and too cheap may not be good from time to time either.) What I had (A Day in Tulum) hit the spot. It's refreshing and easygoing at the same time. If you are looking for some beginner/basic margarita this might be what you should order. My friend's Mescal Blackberry Smash was nice and smoky. I'll probably order this one at my next visit.
