Huge machetes with flavorful fillings and spicy salsas
"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
"A truck singled out among the new lineup at the aforementioned sports bar spot, contributing to the revitalized strip-of-trucks energy in that location." - Erin Russell
"It’s hard to miss Machetes Doña Leova on North Lamar, what with the brightly colored, hand-painted signs proclaiming they have machetes. Doña Leova does all sorts of things, including breakfast tacos, gorditas, huaraches, quesadillas, burritos, and machetes, the oblong gordita/quesadilla hybrid made with corn masa that’s cooked on a flattop. The salsa here is spicy like it should be. photo credit: Raphael Brion" - Raphael Brion
