Machetes — Restaurant in Austin

Went yesterday and bought a machete with Cecina, squash flowers, and mushrooms. It was some of the best food I’ve had and it was the closest cooking style to my mother’s food (sooooo delicious). We did go during lunch hours so there was a bit of a wait but owners/staff were so attentive and the food was well worth the wait! Posted it to my IG story and about 20 friends asked me for their location!

If you’re looking for real authentic Mexican food, this is the place! Try their pineapple water, it’s so fresh with real fruit.

It is cash only so bring some cash and tip because the food & serves is worth it!

-La comida esta súper deliciosa, tanto que me recordó a la comida de mi mamá. Compre un machete de cecina, flor de calabaza y hongos. La masa del machete estaba muy bien echa y las aguas de piña también (no es agua fresca de paquete como en otros lados). Casi 20 amigos me preguntaron de adonde era mi comida por que puse un video en mi historia de Instagram

Comida muy auténtica y en el horario que fuimos hubo un poco de espera. Pero los dueños fueron muy atentos a pesar de estar ocupados.

Lleven efectivo y dejen tip por que este...

No food pun this time that’s just cheesy 🌮🧀

Highlights: •Machetes •Aguas Frescas •Huge Portions

Review: They have a very extensive menu that would satisfy any palate. I ordered a machete with half flor de calabaza (squash blossom) and the other campechano (which is a mixture of beef steak and chorizo). Both the sides had nice texture and flavors. But the star was the machete which had hints of smokiness from the charred chorizo, slight saltiness from the steak, delicious melted cheese, slight bitterness from the squash blossom and all layered on to a pan fried handmade tortilla. It was all washed down with a semi sweet and very refreshing Melon (Cantaloupe) agua fresca. Can’t wait to go back and try out their other food options.

Rating: 10/10

Finally! The best Mexican food I've found with the biggest burrito!

🌮🌯 Excellent selection of meats. Besides Mexican food, they do have burgers and Sonora hor dogs if you are looking for something different. A big difference in flavor and quality from other restaurants in the area. Favorites are the burritos and the nachos.
