El Machito, 7300 Jones Maltsberger, the newest concept by chef Johnny Hernandez, is open. The restaurant near The Quarry specializes in mesquite-grilled meats prepared in the traditional style of the carne asada of northern Mexico and estilo-campestre of Guadalajara, according to its website. Diners can watch meats grilling on a handcrafted asadero. Hernandez traveled to Mexico to curate the restaurant’s decor.

El Machito is open for lunch and dinner: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-midnight Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday brunch. Prices range from $11 to $15 for lunch and $25 to $28 for dinner. Visit the Facebook page or website for more information.
