We have been to the other two Machete locations over the years and this was our first outing to Colfax because it was our anniversary, and the LoDo location wasn't open to seated dining, and I believe Cherry Creek didn't have reservations later than 5pm, so we were excited to try this location. Minimal capacity, great service, social distanced from all other diners, and the food quality was exactly what we've grown to expect over the years... Perfect!

12 drinks and 13 tacos = $200. The tacos, hot salsas, margaritas, guacamole and chips are all very good here. $5-6/taco $10 drinks runs the tab up quick. I recommend the lamb, lobster, shrimp, pork and chicken. Oh, the jicama ceviche one too. All good.

Went for a quick dinner with a friend. Our server was really nice and chatted with us quite a bit. Food was delicious and came out really quickly. Very energetic in there, with loud music and a diverse crowd. Drinks are on the expensive side, usually around $11 at the cheapest but they were also very strong. Most of the menu is their selection of tacos.

We reserved a table for five, but when we got there were told they did not have enough tables that are that large so asked if we could pull up a chair to a four person table. I wish they would have offered to bring a couple of tables together. It was a busy night, and our server had his hands full so service wasn't as quick as it could have been, but the food was great and the atmosphere was fun.

I made a reservation on Open Table that was not honored by Machete Tequila. I requested a standard table in a quiet location. We were seated in the bar with a very loud speaker directly behind us. I went back to the host and asked about my reservation and asked why we were seated at a high table in the bar with a booming speaker behind us. He told me that Open Table was the problem, that Machete Tequila does not accept reservations and that we were seated in the best possible seat available-a standard seat in a more family area would have been another 45 minutes. Upon arrival, I was not informed by the host that my Open Table reservation was not being honored. The host was curt and had a take it or leave it attitude.
