Machetes Kitchen Takeover



We are thrilled to announce the next installment of our Kitchen Takeover series, welcoming Chef Diego Palacios, co-founder & owner of local pop-up Machetes.

 

The Mexico City street-style food pop first began in the summer of 2023, with a string of pop ups selling out all across the city. Run by husband-and-wife team Diego and McKenna Palacios, Machetes is best known for its massive oblong quesadillas made with heirloom corn masa — their tie-dye appearance is reminiscent of a summer camp T-shirt. McKenna usually leads the masa shaping process before handing the uncooked tortillas to Diego to fill and grill.

 

The duo are both industry vets, with Diego currently presiding at OK Omens and McKenna at Indonesian restaurant Gado Gado. In October 2024 Machetes began their residency at OK Omens, serving up antojitos, ceviche, handmade Choco Tacos, and more every Sunday and Monday through the winter. MWL is honored to share their cuisine with you, curating beverage pairings for each course.
