Machismo expands its burrito reach; Andorra first, Center City next

Filed Under: Openings

Machismo, rolling 'ritos at 4330 Main Street in Manayunk since 2007, has opened its second area location, at 8500 Henry Avenue in the Andorra Shopping Center (267-385-6602). It's about twice the size of the Manayunk shop; they do business 11 to 9 seven days a week, and they deliver. Owner Will Caton, who's been actively hunting for additional real estate in both Center City and West Chester (he has three Machismo locations in Virginia, plus another in southern Florida), is now offering Machismo as a franchise option. He's also looking to move his concept further into Philly sooner rather than later Caton tells Meal Ticket he's planning on signing a lease for a space in The Shops at Liberty Place. Ink's not on paper yet, but the plan is to open up this shop by October.

Center City please, followed by NoLibs & South Philly... their burritos are fantastic as are their wide selection of hot sauces in-store.

The beef was still mooing in the taco. The Adobe Cafe still rules here in Manayunk. They serve real Mexican food not buffet style dorm food
