Absolutely Delicious & Beautifully Presented! My family and I came in for bandeja paisa, and it was outstanding from start to finish. We had the option of choosing chicken, beef, or pork -- so of course we tried all three -- and every single plate was delicious. The presentation was gorgeous, the portions were generous, and the flavors were exactly what you hope for in authentic Colombian comfort food. To make it even better, pairing the meal with an ice‑cold Manzana Postobón and a fresh mango lemonade was perfection. The drinks alone are worth coming back for. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel welcoming and relaxed. The restaurant itself is decorated in the cutest way, with fresh Colombian roses displayed on the bar area -- such a thoughtful touch that adds to the charm. Before you sit down, you can even pick out empanadas from the case, which is such a fun and unique option. Definitely grab a few -- they're fantastic. Overall, this place is a gem. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Colombian flavors Beautifully Presented!

Exactly what I was craving and Uber Eats delivered. Sancocho de res was a generous portion with a side of rice and lime. The corn was so sweet, which was a great surprise. Chunk of beef and several nuggets of starch. I like mine spicy, so a generous splattering if Tapatio had it on point. Savory and spicy! I love this cut of pork belly for Chicharron. Slab with some scoring for three fingers of meat. read more

It was ok I guess I was expecting more but the food was ok I little over price for the type of food. The vibe of the restaurant was cool.

I love this place so much. I stumbled across this place on Uber eats and decided to try it and I've ordered so many times after that. Lol. The food here is so tasty and fresh. Today we went to pick up our food. We ordered the bandeja paisa and a baby churrasco. Wow, always a hit. Even something as simple as white rice is soooo flavorful. The meat was good, boyfriend said the chimichurri on his churrasco was great. We also had empanadas and buñuelos and they're soooo good. Their pique is amazing. Today was the first day we picked up our food and we met the owner and they were so nice. They even threw in a pan de Bono for free in our order. I recommend this place for some amazing authentic Colombian food. It's a small place but trust me the food is amazing! We will be back soon. read more

The beef soup is terrible did not have any flavor it was water down, the container where the soup was served was in a round 24 oz container. Moreover, I have order ají and it was not added but I still was charged for it. Don't recommend this place at all this was my first time trying it and my last. read more

El Machetico - This wasn't a cheap order and still missed part of my order - Colombian Near Me - Miami, Florida

ordered delivery with DOORDASH. Ordered Pan de Bono and Buñuelos for the kids, Bandeja Paisa for me and a Sancocho de Res for my mom. The food was great!! The breads soft and cheesy. The bandeja online order had me add 2 sides (eggs and rice for me) and it came separate. I thought the platter didn't have rice and egg to begin with but to my surprise, now I had 3 eggs and 2 rice!! The madero strips (so much better than the usual fat cut, were delicious! Will spread the word about Machetico Deli!! read more

Very delicious carne asada. They have soda choices from Colombia and America. They also have daily lunch specials. Everyone is very friendly and bilingual. ¡Si me gusta! read more

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! read more

Earlier Saturday morning I woke up with a craving for a buñuelos and empanadas, it had been following me all day so while I was at work I turned to Yelp to help me find a Colombian restaurant in the area. After finding El Machetico, I was so excited about trying all the antojitos but unfortunately I must be in the minority when it comes to the food here. I arrived at about 11am and the place was pretty quiet. There wasn't a menu listed anywhere that I saw and there wasn't much in the bakery case but I saw a few buñuelos, and pan de bonos. The cashier informed me they had fresh empanadas so I arrived right on time! In the end I ordered 3 buñuelos, 2 pan de bonos, and 4 empanadas. The buñuelos weren't my favorite, they were cold but I'm not a fan of the type of cheese they use, maybe they taste better fresh. The pan de bonos were delicious. They were a bit cold as well, but I popped it in the microwave when I got back to work and those were fantastic. The empanadas are supposed to be empanadas de carne but there wasn't much meat in the ones we ate, mostly potato. I know it's cost saving and all but man I was bummed about that. They were really fresh though so they were perfectly fried, steaming hot, and crunchy. I was disappointed that they didn't include the aji that normally is served with empanadas. It could've used that sharp acidic heat. Overall I'm not sure I'll come back, maybe to check out the regular menu food. I see they have glowing reviews about the food so hopefully my experience was just an off one. Maybe I caught them right after a rush or something. read more

Dear Sancocho, I'm not Colombian but the moment I sipped a spoonful of of you at El Machetico, I felt the paisa blood running through my veins. I initially burnt my tongue but ultimately decided that pain and sacrifice would be necessary in order to feed this addiction. The more I ate, the more I began to sweat profusely. Unwillingly and with a minor stint of depression, I backed off my plate several seconds to rest my palette. It was the longest 5 seconds of my life. During that brief moment though, something miraculous happened. I looked up at the TV inside the restaurant, and there he was, looking dead eye at the camera, James Rodriguez. I felt an immediate connection, a bond similar to a horn on a goats head, it's simply not coming off anytime soon. But I wasn't impressed, notably, he was playing a soccer match, and I, sitting there at El Machetico, with no actual machete in my hand but it would have been picturesque to have one. I put the focus back on my sancocho filled with papa, carrots, succulent meat, and corn. This plate kept me full for about 6 hours, but when hunger struck again, I thought of it. It still haunts my head, in a positive way. When I'm hangry, I think of it, and the hunger remains, but the anger dissipates. Why? Because this place is happiness. I will dream of you tonight, I love you. Daryl read more

Very disappointed, the empanadas were microwaved and were horrible, the patacones (Fried green plantains) were over cooked and hard as a rock. I'll never go back although the staff was very nice. read more

I love me some Colombian food, specially when its an authentic Almuerzadero like el Machetico Delicias. They have cantina for the whole week, daily lunch specials and more. I love the lentejas con arroz y maduro its delicious and under $10. They recently renovated inside and its a nice spot to have lunch. read more

This place has a great home cook taste. I get food delivered from this place all the time. I also get the Cantina, which is a fixed meal they bring to your office. If that day they are serving something something i dont eat like pork, they are more than happy to change it for me at no charge. They customize every meal to the best of their abilities. I have also tried the breakfast "calentado"amazing!!!!! its like a latin brunch lol! Anyways, i recommend this place. Give it a try! read more

Looooooove El Machetico! Every pay day, my coworkers and I get empanadas & other Colombian delicacies from El Machetico and without failure, they are to die for. I absolutely love these empanadas and they are probably some of the best Colombian empanadas in Miami. The restaurant itself is fairly small so we usually order over the phone and have them delivered. Delivery is my only concern as it takes a little long to get here so we have to order very early, yet somehow they are NEVER cold. They are perfectly warm and delicious. Thank you El Machetico for making Friday's a little better. read more

Awesome place! We order an average of 20 Colombian Meat Pies every Friday for our sales floor. The hot sauce is amazing. Thank you guys! read more

We noticed the Machetito driving through el Doral while stuck in horrible Miami traffic, after reading Daryl's Yelp review, we just had to try it, thank you Daryl! With the first bite of rice and beans, I had a vision of a little girl sitting at my grandmothers table eating on a Saturday afternoon, this place felt like home. I had such a great experience here, I will return on my next visit to Miami. Service was friendly, food was good, I am happy. read more

Este machetico no tiene filo.. Service here sucks!! Sorry! I'm Colombian and this place just lacks everything. It's lunch and they have next to nothing as far as bakery is concerned. I walked in, only 2 tables with customers but I had to essentially say "hey is anyone going to take my order?" 100% would not recommend this place, move on. Oh and by the way, in my opinion over priced for what is served. Not sure about everyone else's review but my first experience here will be my last. read more

I was working a project in the area at night when I drove passed. It was just after 6am and that OPEN sign called my name. Great service made this a 5 star choice. I am not that familiar with Columbian foods but have enjoyed the times I have had the pleasure to try it. When I talked with the gentleman here and explained what I was wanting he had no issues putting it together special for me. Nice and spicy breakfast, also got to try something new. Thanks for the great start to my day! read more

Stopped by here early morning this past Saturday. Was looking for some good breakfast food, Colombian style... I am so glad I actually did stop by! I made an order of a Buñuelo and a Pan De Bono. Ordered also a side of scrambled eggs with ham and cheese, which the girl told me came with an arepa with cheese on top and eggs on the side. The Arepa was AMAZING, and so were the eggs. It's also hard to find a good Buñuelo now a days and it was very very good. I think the only suggestion I would give is that I would've enjoyed a coffee that came from a good coffee machine. This was more of a home coffee machine, and though the coffee was nice, I think it could've been much much better. Excellent all around. read more

Great home cooked style of food, my favorite is the bistec caleño. No frills cafeteria with daily lunch specials, they serve good portions.

Great food! Awesome lunch specials too. Had the skirt steak and it was really good. Came with red beans.

This food is amazing! The food that they serve is great quality for low prices. They have options for weekly rates called "cantinas" in which you can order food for the week. Such a steal and cheaper than spending out everyday for lunch! They change the specials menu every week so you can never be bored. I truly recommend to everyone ! read more

Great Colombian home style food! From their awesome service to their delicious food, this place always makes me feel like home! I buy the weekly cantinas and always have their special for the day and it is always good. I am an active customer and they always remember me. They even know how I like my food cooked and always serve it with much delight! read more

This is the second time I visit EL MACHETICO, as it was highly recommended by a person that comes to my office. Both times I had breakfast. Service was prompt and courteous and the food was hot and delicious. Prices are very fair. I will definitely return. read more

Great place, this restaurant deserve a five stars for the service, the food and the environment

SOPA DE RES (BEEF SOUP) or SANCOCHO, I'm all about the soups, if you're looking for a good delicious SOPAA, you will be disappointed you didn't get it here ! Enjoy ! read more

Amigos and amigas from Nicaragua, Colombia and Venezuela love it here. As an Asian, I love it too. And they have super nice service as well.

Beware this place is not a restaurant it's a tiny bakery. There are no restrooms! It's more of a pick up place then a sit down place. The pictures on the menu are NOT what you get. I bought a Bandeja paisa for $14 and the portion was ridiculous it was literally half of what the picture showed, tiny , tiny not to mention it doesn't include an avocado like the picture. I'm not sure what customer service the others are talking about as there is none. You have to order your food pay and sit down. The empanada was stale, the taste of the food was ok but I can get that anywhere for the same price and double the portion. Absolutely disappointed. read more

This is the best Colombian food in the area of Doral and Miami!! Their breakfast is the traditional "Paisa" breakfast with the perfect cheese (quesito blandito) and the best huevos pericos. Their "Sancocho" is to die for!! Is a pretty decent portion, and they serve it steaming hot, which helps to bring out the flavor from the plate straight up your nose! Yummi!! Their service is exceptional, super friendly, cordial, always ready to serve you, they don't rush you and I truly feel welcome every time I go. Try this place you will not reqret it. Oh and their empanadas are delish!! read more

Bad delivery service!! The food was expensive because is too small the entree. No recommendations

The empanadas and sauce are absolutely delicious. You can't go wrong with them. The arepas were also very good. They delivered to me and the food was nice and warm. Definitely order from them. read more

this place has the bomb empanadas with the hot sauce a must try and the beef soup is out of this world

Not a real restaurant, I searched for a bakery and El machetico came up. I don't mind that is a small place but this is more like a cantina delivery spot. They had some empanadas and a couple of pandebonos out. I thought about ordering food but was told the kitchen was closed already at noon on a Saturday. I ordered the empanada...it was ok not fresh price was good. They were on a rush to close. Maybe the cantinas are really good but not for a Saturday breakfast sit down type of "bakery". read more

El Machetico is tiny hole in the wall located in the busy office/warehouse area of Doral. I wish you the best of luck in fighting traffic coming and leaving here. That being said, I did not expect such great flavor to come out of somewhere so small. Being my first visit I wanted to try a little bit of everything and ordered the scrambled eggs with tomato and onion (comes with a cheese arepa), pan de bono, cheese stick (I forget how it was spelled and don't want to butcher it), and a side of homemade salsa. The eggs were so delicious, I don't know what they used to flavor them but definitely worth a try. The arepa and cheese stick were both also savory and extremely tasty. The homemade salsa is spicy, tangy, fresh, and I could probably drink a bucket of the stuff. The only things that held this location back from getting a 5 star review is that the pan de bono is dry (I would skip it which is disappointing to say for a Colombian restaurant) and the 15% off breakfast offer on yelp is apparently only for orders over $20 which is not a big deal but would be nice if it stated it online. These are minor details and I wouldn't let them deter you from paying this place a visit! read more
