Machete's Mean sandwiches

We stopped to get sandwiches to take on the airplane and now I wish we had discovered this place earlier in our trip. Absolutely delicious.

It’s been a while and I forgot just how good machetes sandwiches are. Their sandwich bread is made in house so always fresh and pillowy. Portions are generous and prices are very reasonable. It’s a refreshing change from some other places where you get less for more. Oh and you can preorder via the Chowhound app. They do offer delivery as well. It’s all take out- no indoor/outdoor seating. Staff was super nice. Parking - there’s street parking available but no guarantees. There’s a small lot on the backside of the building. I was able to park there because it was a quick pick up, but not sure if that’s official parking for machetes. But the parking attendant was cool about it.

Having been to Machete’s in Honolulu twice, I can confidently say that these are some of the best sandwiches I’ve had on island. It’s always a good sign to me when you see all the equipment front and center so you know the ingredients are fresh. It’s rare when you bite into a sandwich, that the BREAD stands out to you. But that’s exactly what I had here! Soft, fresh and hearty bread was far more of a centerpieces than expected. The meat and cheese was also excellent and tasty. Mayo and dressings were balanced well and I love shredded lettuce on my sandwiches! Staff was enthusiastic and friendly both times. Menu is not too overwhelming either. Value was very good for the island, and these are some large portions so maybe split with a friend! Will be back soon to try a new sandwich!
