"Was craving Colombian food when I discovered El Machetico. My boyfriend and I came by around 4 on a weekday. This hole in the wall was relatively packed with customers some dining in and some taking food to go. We grabbed a menu at the front and skimmed over it. I knew I wanted a Bandeja Paisa $13.99 so we ordered that to share. Being extremely hungry, we made the mistake of ordering other things as well thinking that would not be enough which in fact it was. We also got a pan de bono, empanada, an extra chorizo, and the soup of the day which was lentils. OH MAN! The previous reviews were correct in that all the food here has a home style taste! The bandeja was delicious, an appropriate size, and smoky in flavor fresh off the grill. The extra chorizo was huge and not really necessary for us to order especially since I didn't realize that the tasty beans that came with the bandeja would be served in a massive soup bowl. The lentils were on point and the arepa perfect. The only thing I did not like while here was their pan de bono and empanada but that was because they had been sitting out all day and not fresh.....understandable since they were closing soon. My boyfriends parents work in the area in which I will definitely be recommending this place for their lunch break and now only wish I worked as close!"
