Pros: Salsa Tacos Cons: Margaritas Chips (stale) Enchiladas (I think cat food has more flavor) Ambiance

Great tacos and even better margaritas. Grabbed a bite here on the recommendation of a friend after leaving union station. Tacos are packed full of flavorful ingredients and will definitely fill you up. Service was attentive. Dug the overall vibe of the place and would certainly return next time I find myself in Denver.

Had a quick lunch here, the vibe is very vibrance despite the dark interior. Service was very fast. I'd say the chip were the star of the show, its the type that taste less corny (if you know you know). All the salsas were really bland in my opinion. But the queso fundizo with chorizo was really good! A tastey snack size I must say. But other than that the taco as well as quesadilla was very mid. I'd recommend come for snacking and not meals.

Got into Denver on the A-train from the airport and was starving! Saw Mechete right across the street from Union Station. This is a must eat at place! The menu is large and incredible. They also have many options for those with cerrtain dietary needs (gluten free, vegan). If you like margarita's they have the best hands down! I go the cadicallac which has a topper of grand marnier. YUM. We started out with the Guacamole appetizer. This is not your little appetizer! Not only did it come with guacamole (super good) it comes with a taster of different salsas! Must start! I picked the 3 vegan tacos (one needs to be w/out cheese) and they were packed with veggies and it is so filling! MENU NOTE: my partner got the Calma Borracho. This is really a shareable and not a single meal! It is huge! and a ton of food! Eat local. Go to Machete's and grab a marg and taco's!

Great experience! Came here at noon and the place was packed and bustling with business people having lunch. Ordered a pineapple margarita with a takin rim which was delicious. The guacamole and spicy sauces were great and you can tell they make their own chips, which I appreciate. Ordered the shrimp taco birria taco both delicious and filling. Service was great, very accommodating and quick!
