Over dit restaurant
El Machito is the third dining concept from acclaimed chef, Johnny Hernandez. A celebration of all things meat, El Machito specializes in mesquite-grilled meats prepared in the traditional style of the carne asada of northern Mexico and estilo-campestre of Guadalajara. Influenced by the history, technique and artistry of the parrilleros (grill chefs) of Mexico, Chef Hernandez has created a dining experience that brings this unique grilling style to American diners.
The heart of El Machito is without a doubt the handcrafted asadero. The open fire mesquite grill is framed by a wooden altar providing a window for diners to admire the skills of the specially trained grill chefs that masterfully control the heat to prepare every variety of mesquite grilled meat imaginable for diners. Specialties include beef, poultry, seafood, select heritage pork, Mexican sausages prepared by hand in-house, and the chef’s signature dish - locally sourced cabrito asado.
