   Our first impression walking in was that it was spacious, quiet, and had a nice ambiance.  The business currently goes by 2 names.  "Machete's" is the online listing, but the sign outside the restaurant says "Amaya's"; perhaps it has multiple personalities.  The chips were thin and crispy and the salsa was good as well.  The waiters were very attentive and helpful and the food came out very quickly.
   We ordered chicken fajitas and a pork sauce dish with rice and beans.  The fajitas were plentiful, flavorful and as good if not better than a well-known tex-mex restaurant.  With a cost of around $7, it was a good meal at a good price.  The pork sauce dish was delicious!  The cubed meat pieces were extremely tender and the gravy-like sauce wasn't too bold or salty.  Even if you're not a meat-eater, you would like this dish.  I was actually wanting more meat when I had finished the meal.  There were 6 featured meals on the lunch menu which were all under $7.
   To top it all off, we used a "groupon now" that we found online, and ended up paying only $8 for both of our meals, which included two entrees, two sodas, and the tip. What a deal! If you enjoy mexican food for lunch in a quiet atmosphere, this is the perfect place for those on a budget. We will definitely go back again, and just hope they finally decide on one name!
