Machete Grill Taco Factory — Restaurant in Chamblee

I’ve been here twice so far, and each time, the staff has been incredibly welcoming. The menu offers fair and affordable prices.

On my first visit, I ordered 2 chicken tacos, which were juicy, flavorful, and came with a side of chips and salsa—a nice touch. The second time, I tried the Pollo Mexicano, a grilled chicken breast served with rice, beans, and a salad. While waiting for my food, I had the pleasure of speaking with Carlos, who I assume is the owner or a partner. He was warm and enthusiastic, sharing how everything in the restaurant is made fresh, especially the salsas.

I also loved that the kitchen was designed as an open concept, allowing customers to watch their meals being prepared. That attention to freshness truly comes through in the flavors. The chicken was tender and well-seasoned, and the salsas had a vibrant, homemade taste.

I can see this place becoming one of my go-to spots and is a fantastic addition to the plaza. I wish them all the best and look forward to...

I recently tried this place out and I’m so glad I did! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in, so I was immediately impressed. The tacos were delicious—perfectly seasoned and full of flavor—and they give you sauce to go with them. Plus, they serve complimentary chips and salsa, which were super fresh and a great addition to the meal. The tacos are a great value for the price, too!

I ordered takeout, and I really appreciated that they included plasticware and napkins by default—always a plus in my book! The place was spotless when I picked up my order, and it’s located in a shopping plaza with plenty of easy parking.

I’ve been to some other taco places nearby that weren’t very friendly and had a weird vibe, so this place will definitely be my go to for tacos in the area. I’ll definitely be back to try some other menu items. Highly recommend...

Staff was extremely nice! My wife and I just moved to the area and were excited to try this place. While the staff was extremely nice, it did feel a bit chaotic in there. My wife is Mexican and I’ve been to Mexico multiple times. I hate to say this but this is not good authentic Mexican food. The pastor tacos and salsas lacked flavor. My wife got the shrimp cocktail and while it was tasty there were some things missing that you would typically get with a shrimp cocktail. Whom we assumed were the owners, while they spoke Spanish , were definitely not Mexican. Living in Chamblee means you get access to good authentic Mexican food, so it is a bit disappointing when you find a place like this charging what they are. We love tex mex, and would have rather it be a tex Mex...
