Macho Tacos

First of all, please do not ask the stupid question "How is it compared to L.A?" Obviously, there is no comparison because we are out here in TAIPEI. But if you want a quick fix and a delicious bite to eat, please do yourself a favor and come to Macho Tacos.


The Yanji location is a bit small so grab seats while you can or just hover over the other customers and make them feel uncomfortable so they leave (just kidding..). I've been frequenting to Machos over the years and their menu keeps expanding and the food improves every single time I go. They have tacos (hard shell and soft), quesadillas, burritos, chimichangas, burrito bowls, California fries, jalapeno poppers, etc. they even have churros and horchatas, yum! The great thing is they have ground taco meat, carne asada, chicken, carnitas, fish and even tofu for a vegetarian option.
 
I went for Taco Tuesdays (my favorite day during the week) $39NT for tacos, excluding fish (which are so fucking delicious, FYI). But my fat ass also got an order of California Fries with carne asada. They weren't stingy with any of the fixings and there was steak with my fries in every bite. This is my absolute favorite thing that they have on the menu, this is A MUST ORDER, TRUST ME.

I ordered the taco meat tacos which reminded me of Taco Bell or Del Taco, which isn't a bad thing. I'm not ashamed, I love mexican fast food, so when they added this on the menu I was super excited #fatgirlproblems. They also offer jalapeno cheese aka nacho cheese, that bright yellow gooey goodness, I basically dipped everything in the cheese. The jalapeno poppers were delicious and filled with creamy cheese, a bit spicy for some so be careful! But if you like spice, this is perfect for you. The churros are quite addicting, fried, crispy, and dusted with the right amount of cinnamon and sugar. I had 2 orders of this and I kept wanting more. Damn this sweet tooth of mine! 
Everything at Machos is good and they will listen when you want to substitute or add anything in your order. The staff there understand English, so ordering will not be a problem for non Chinese speakers (they're really nice too!). The prices are great for the quality of food and portions that you are getting. If you're fat like me, just order everything and eat it by yourself #foreveralone.  But if you have friends, go and order everything-buffet style.
