Bustling Union Station taco-and-tequila spot with creative, flavorful tacos and strong drinks; lively scene and happy hour shine, but noise, service inconsistency, and occasional cleanliness complaints warrant caution.
Machete Tequila + Tacos delivers competitive quality with strong food quality highlighted by handmade tortillas and creative tacos, plus exceptional setting appeal at Union Station with lively patio energy. However, inconsistent execution across visits and isolated but concerning food safety reports prevent a higher grade, making this a solid neighborhood destination rather than a premier dining establishment.
One caveat: Noise can be high; indoor conversation is hard during peak hours
