Chef Johnny Hernandez is making moves. The chef has just announced via press release that he’ll be relocating El Machito to the Brooks (formerly Brooks City-Base) on the Southside.
Hernandez first opened El Machito with all the fire-roasted meats in 2014 at The Quarry and added La Gloria-esque features to the menu less than a year ago. The last day of service is Sunday, November 12, so go get that chorizo verde while you still can.
The announcement also includes details on a new La Gloria, which will make it the fourth in the city.
“We’re thrilled to bring the Johnny Hernandez brand to Brooks,” said Brooks
President & CEO Leo Gomez in the press release. “The addition of these two local, high-profile restaurants puts a spotlight on Brooks as an emerging area of San Antonio.”
The restaurants are both expected to open in the fall of 2018.
