Every taco starts with a corn tortilla, hand-pressed daily, and finished with house-made salsas. Add a serious selection of tequila, mezcal, and potent margaritas, and you've got Machete.

Tacos. Tequila. No apologies.

Our Story

A cook pressing masa into tortillas in the Machete kitchen — Masa, pressed by hand01

Trays of fresh corn tortillas and roasted chiles at Machete — Corn & blue corn, daily02

Since day one

Hand-pressed.Every damn day.

Non-GMO masa, pressed to order. Corn cultivation traces back to the Pueblo tribes of the American Southwest as early as the 1200s — one of the oldest ingredients in Mexican cooking. At Machete, that tradition shows up in every taco on the menu.

Take them home by the dozen — corn, blue corn, poblano, hibiscus or squid ink.

Pick some up

The original. Non-GMO masa, pressed and thrown on the comal to order.
