Why it's worth it
Machete anchors the Calle Cerra nightlife strip with thoughtful cocktails that often use local produce plus a small menu of refined bar food. The crowd leans local and service-industry, so it feels like a neighborhood hang rather than a tourist trap. It’s an ideal place to start or end a Santurce bar crawl and soak up the artsy, creative energy of the area.
