The Machete is crazy actually. A full tortilla of veggies, hella cheese, and meat. Delicious with the salsa! Surf trip chicken salad was also good and fresh

I really wanted to love this spot, because it's fairly close to my neighborhood. However, the food has been more disappointing with each order. The elote I received tonight was quite literally black and burnt on all sides, and tasted like it. The packaging isn't sealed to minimize tampering during delivery and it's pretty expensive for the portions you get. I can't speak to their food in person, but for delivery- it genuinely feels like there's an overall lack of care put into their orders.
Not to mention, no authentic cantina should or does ever charge you for tortilla chips..That should be the first reason to try somewhere else. I'd recommend El Toreador on West Portal.

The KALE & WINTER SQUASH SALAD is excellent and I'm especially grateful that they make it easy to remove the bacon so it is vegetarian. The squash is expertly roasted and it'd be awesome if it was a year round menu item though sadly I imagine it won't be. Two minor tweaks I'd make: use Lacinato kale instead of curly kale. It would be so much better. And give an option to add more squash for a few. I would certainly do that.

Steak in the salad tasted horrible. Side of rice tasted like the BPA-laden plastic container it was deliverd in. Really not good, and pretty disappointing. Used to love this place

So expensive, such a big shame that the food was bland... Hated that the tortilla chips (and my taco) tasted like churros.
