| - I came to Macho Radio Bar looking for a solid patio, well-made drinks, and maybe some tasty dishes to snack on.
For starters, the patio is great. It's expansive, has plenty of seating, and is shielded from the wind with tall panes of glass. The couches are comfortable, but they definitely make you sit lower than if you were to sit on a chair, so drinking and eating off of the table may not be as easy as it should be, but damned if you won't be comfortable. The only downside is that you may not get much sun while you're there, given that it's situated between two very tall condos.
Service was good - our server being quite friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, providing quick and concise answers to questions about any food or drink we brought up.
I ordered an El Diablo cocktail to start, which I found to be a tad on the weak side, bordering on too-sour, possibly washing out any hint of tequila or ginger beer. I followed it up with the Mezcal Old Fashioned, which I also found to be too weak, and was a bit too heavy on the sweetness.
Our group split a plate of guac, and I ordered a pork shoulder taco, beer battered basa taco, and pork belly taco. The guacamole was great, no complaints. All three of the tacos were quite tasty as well, but I found portions for the proteins themselves to be on the small side, which was on an already small taco.
Overall, good patio, good service, but the food and drink really weren't very good. I'd go back, but I'd probably stick to a beer and a plate of guac.
