EL MACHETICO – Mexican
El Macheticos original outpost sits at 9674 NW 25th Street in Doral, flagship of a small South Florida Colombian chain. The kitchen builds its reputation on generous, shareable classics: Bandeja Paisa piled with beans and rice, Sancocho Machetico, a three-foot chicharron meant for the table, trio de tostones, and mondongo alongside picada platters and empanadas. Presentation gets real attention, dishes arrive dressed up rather than dumped on a plate. Delivery runs free within five miles, and daily specials start at 13 dollars. Diners keep returning for the portion sizes and the sense that this is Colombia by way of Doral.
