Machete Tequila + Tacos Reviews List

Machete Tequila + Tacos

We brought a new vibe to Cherry Creek North. Machete’s menu infuses classic Mexico City cantina fare with regional specialties and street food favorites such as tacos, quesadillas and ceviches. With an emphasis on the bold flavors and robust palate of Mexican cuisine, Machete uses the freshest ingredients to prepare every delightful meal. Machete also has one of the largest tequila menus in Denver and incredibly potent margaritas. Come on down for some street-style tacos and quesadillas, huaraches, alambres, authentic salsas, fundidos, fine tequilas, freshly-juiced margaritas and Denver’s first private tequila cage.

"Amazing taco selection. Our group got the 12 tacos for one price and tried out a few different kinds. The best was the chicken mole taco. Terrific flavors. The grilled halibut tacos were delicious too. The pork tacos came highly recommended but weren't as good."

"Machete is a restaurant I always try to get to when I am visiting Denver. The margarita's are strong and delicious and the tacos are fantastic. They have a wide variety of tacos and it is hard to pick a favorite or even to narrow down which ones to order. I tend to fall back on the mole taco or the pork taco with baked apples, but they are all so good. They are quite filling though, so while the 20 taco platter sounds awesome for four people, it is difficult to eat them all, even though you will make every effort to do so."

"I'm not a big Mexican food fan, but enjoyed this novel restaurant and its mini-sized tacos. Many inventive combinations -- including chicken with great mole sauce. The tripe tacos were a bit greasy. Margaritas are sized just the opposite of the tacos -- very generous, and potent. One is definitely enough. Noise level here was extremely high, on a week night -- can only imagine the weekend. Still, if you're seeking a lively place with a different twist on Mexican, this is the place."
