Where To Get Machetes In Austin

"A few blocks south of Machetes Dona Leova on North Lamar, in the parking lot of the grocery La Buena Market, is Casita Vizuet. There are a few picnic tables underneath an awning with hand-painted lettering promoting things like pambazos, gorditas, huaraches, and machetes. The machetes here are huge - they claim to be 18 inches long. We didn’t check because we were too hungry to break out a tape measure, but that sounds about right. You can get two fillings in each machete, including pastor, barbacoa, and carnitas. And just like Casita Nicole, they have huitlacoche and squash blossoms. In case you’re still hungry, the machetes come with rice, beans, salad, and guacamole." - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
