Macario

This place is awesome!!! We went today and the staff are so nice and welcoming. If it’s your first time, they give you a sample of their bread (made at a nearby bakery just for them) and sauce (which is so freaking good). My husband and I split one of the lonches bañados as per the staff’s suggestion, and thank goodness we did because it’s enormous (the pic shows 1/2 of the sandwich). It’s kind of like an enchilada but with delicious sourdough-like bread instead of tortillas. It was so delicious. Chips and guac were also great. Huge portions at very affordable prices, and such a unique meal that you can’t get at other Mexican restaurants. I highly recommend.

This is a new casual spot that’s worth a try! Basically, it’s a sandwich so saucy you need to eat with a spoon! Only 3 sandwiches on the menu but it’s quality over quantity here and they’re all incredible and the portions are humongous. The sauce - a family recipe from Guadalajara - is so flavorful, with just a touch of spice. Somehow it was perfect for both my husband who loves spice, and me who’s terrified of it. It was delicious. They also have quesadillas and the best guac in town. The owner and staff are all incredibly helpful and friendly (shout out to Paola and Diana!). The owner mentioned they’ve been open just under a month and have more plans for hosting the works of local artists on their walls. This place has the makings of becoming a neighborhood gem.

Macario serves an authentic style lonche (sandwich) specifically from Guadalajara, Jalisco, MX. The bread is delicious and crunchy, the shredded pork is juicy, but the smokey tomato sauce is key! Bañado means “bathed” so be prepared to drench your lonche into some delicious sauce. If it gets a little soggy just know that’s a feature of the signature style, not a bug. If you like cheese, make sure to try a lonche prensado or ask them to add Panela to your lonche! It’s one of México’s most popular cheeses. And as you enjoy your food make sure to enjoy the posters and decor hanging up calling back to Mexico’s golden age of cinema. Some posters are of the titular masterpiece Macario from 1960!

We got the el macario with pulled pork and guacamole - both were delicious!! We will absolutely be returning and highly recommend. The staff here are so friendly, just overall a wonderful vibe and dining experience.

Some of the best lonches I’ve ever had!! The sauce, the flavor, the portions. To top it all off, the staff are super nice and gave us free samples to try since it was our first time! Amazing spot that I’ll be recommending to everyone.
