Macho burger is either from China or heavily influenced by Chinese KFC. Note that I mentioned KFC and yes this place is actually mostly a fried chicken place rather than a burger joint. Chinese actually don't differentiate between burger or sandwich so all chicken sandwich or fish sandwich is called a burger.
So don't expect a good burger here because even the only beef cheese burger offering here is lacking and I wouldn't recommend it at all
However if you are a fried chicken connoisseur then this is the place for you. It's very similar to the fried chicken flavors that are offered in the KFC in China (btw KFC is more popular than McDonald's in China).
The chicken are almost mostly dark meat which is the right way to do fried chicken so if you are a white meat only person then don't come here either.
Otherwise the chicken is crispy moist and flavorful. The sauce is very similar to that was offered by ABC Chicken which is another Chinese KFC clone here in the Bay Area. The mayo sauce is served on the chicken sandwich but not super heavy. I also really enjoyed the spicy wings.
Once again I didn't like the beef cheese burger but highly recommend the fried chickens offered here.
There can be a long line and you may have to wait a bit depending on what you order but they tried to be efficient and I do prefer freshly fried chicken so that's ok.
Place is not too small but parking can be a...
Read moreTried their Original Crispy Chicken Sandwich and their Spicy Chicken sandwich. Flavor was okay. Nothing special. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The Original Crispy Chicken Sandwich was juicier than the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. If I were to describe its flavors. Think of Original KFC Chicken for the Original sandwich and then the Crispy KFC Chicken for the Spicy one.
The Spicy Chicken Sandwich was not Spicy at all. It had a "kick" but barely at that. Wasn't bad, but wasn't great. We got the combo which came with fries and a drink. Right now it seems they only had one size drink and fries (Large).
The cashier I think her name was Volina? (From what the receipts say) she was friendly and helpful when asked about their menu.
We were not able to substitute the fries from the combo to any other fries (curly fries/waffle fries). They seasoned their fries with salt and pepper.
I read the reviews about other people having the runs of some sort. TBD. If it happens, I will update. Haha!
Would I come back again? Maybe if I was in the area. I would like to try their wraps and the...
Read moreThis place is close to our work and today we tried it out. It’s in a small shopping center that provides some parking spaces but most are “compact”. It may be a little trouble to find a parking spot at lunch. The restaurant is new and clean, self served, you order from a screen and pay then wait until your number called. Our cheeseburgers took about 20 minutes. Most people ordered chicken burgers, our cheeseburgers were quite juicy for $11. They do have some bacon in them, lettuce and tomatoes. The buns are soft and the meat is good, not a really big patty likes 5 guys but enough for lunch and bigger than In-n-out doubles. The fries are quite different and tasty, sprinkled with ground black pepper. Very good. We took out so didn’t get any drinks. Not bad for the price and just right for lunch. I would order one fries for 2 because they’re quite large...
