"It’s hard to miss Machetes Doña Leova’s trailer on North Lamar in the parking lot of Austin Appliance Rebuilders, what with the brightly colored, hand-painted lettering proclaiming they have machetes (as well as gorditas, huaraches, quesadillas, and burritos). The machetes here are nearly enough to feed two hungry people, and come with lime, radishes, cucumber, pickled red onions, and a spicy green chile. You can get different fillings, but we’re partial to the campechano here, as well as the shrimp one that comes with poblano, onions, cheese, and avocado. They also sometimes have birria here as a special - no consome though - but a birria machete is a pretty rare sight to behold (and also a delicious thing to eat)." - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
