    Random spice jars where the cashier wont tell me what they taste like. These are the only spices available in the entire restaurant.
    Lei G.

    Terrible service. There were 3 open containers of random spices at the front counter. I asked the cashier what they were in English and he just shrugs and waves his hands at it. I asked again in Chinese and he says "I can't describe it. Just try it." Just absolutely terrible service. Food is only ok and so I don't know where they get the idea they can treat their customer experience so poorly. Won't be surprised if this place is closed sooner from just how poor the store front experience is.

    Pretty pleasantly surprised with Macho Burger. I had seen it open and was curious about it for the longest time. A fried chicken and chicken burger shop... what was its differentiating factor? And it's called Macho Burger... why? Such a strange choice in name. Then, I found it served the 'Chinese' style fried chicken sandwich that I love from McDonald's and KfCs in China. Crispy, juicy, and made with chicken thigh. Still, I had pretty low expectations, and I would say this place exceeded them. Bun was fresh, meat was juicy, lots of fresh cut lettuce and mayo with a sweet honey butter (this part was unexpected as I don't think the ones in China have this). The only complaint is the spicy sauce or seasoning is a mystery orange sauce injected in the meat. It reminds me of the mystery orange sauce injected Krispy Krunchy Chicken if anyone has had that. The orange color really freaks me out. Pretty sure in China, the spice and seasoning does not come from a mystery orange sauce. Overall, enjoyed it. It's a large burger, and the price reflects it. A little over $10 for one.

    In love with this restaurant!! Let's start with parking... street parking! Staff were very kind and welcoming Love the location in San Mateo great Indoor and Outdoor seating very clean and open. The food is delicious it's the closest that I've gotten to KFC chicken in Asia if you know you know!! It's here! So yummy and perfect no sauce needed but ketchup complements it! Over all 5 stars check it out !!!

    We returned again and again! The wings are so addicting and perfect for parties and / or Game Day! The crunch of the batter and the taste are pretty good. The popcorn chicken is also very well-priced and customizable! It is tempting to get more than one order. The feast combos are also perfect for parties as it is a lot of food! If you dine in, there are free refills on drinks! The ordering kiosk and the spacious ordering area are also nice. It can be completely contactless.

    Popcorn Chicken and Curly Fries
    Merry K.

    Popcorn chicken. $5.99. Great Value. Very tasty and meaty. We added the spicy cumin powder. That was a great addition. Usually, this kind of powder tastes really salty and MSG-ey. This one is not. We sprinkled our own Carolina Reaper chili powder and now it's perfect. Dont bother with the macho sauce. It's really BBQ sauce but Asian version

    overall: 4/5 spicy macho chicken sandwich combo: 5/5, got it togo and the chicken burger was still crispy! fries are okay when fresh popcorn chicken: 4/5, crunchy! wish it had more flavor in the chicken? but i guess that's why they give the little seasoning dust wait was a little long but overall would order first and just walk around the area while waiting.

    Spicy Macho Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    Meiyi Y.

    The spicy burger was quite yummy. The chicken was crispy and the sauce paired well. The orleans chicken wings had flavorful skin. The leg and thigh was slightly dry but the extra spicy whole leg and thigh was juicier. The spicy chicken wings were my favorite as they were tender and well marinated.

    11. Tender Beef Wrap
    Helena L.

    We came around 11:15 am and still had empty tables but there isn't that many to accommodate groups bigger than 2. I wanted to try the tender beef wrap the most but probably will be sticking with the fried chicken options from here. More on the spicy side and too wet/sauce in the wrap for me. Chicken cartilage was also just ok since it had a little piece of chicken meat and then the cartilage for the skewer. Star of the show was fried chicken sandwich which was well cooked and crispy. Get it with seasoning - seaweed and the mustard sauce was my favorite! Macho sauce is similar to in n out sauce. Onion rings and curly fries also still crispy but needs either sauce or seasoning. Would come back to try their popcorn chicken and some other items

    Popcorn Chicken with Macho BBQ seasoning!
    Helen L.

    You order through a Kiosk and they'll call your number when the order is ready. I got the popcorn chicken with the Macho BBQ seasoning. The chicken had this airy crunch to it, so it didn't feel heavy at all. The chicken itself was pretty tender and juicy. The Macho BBQ seasoning has a slight kick it.

    My husband and I saw this place next to our hotel in san Gabriel and regretted not trying it. So excited to see it here at home! We stopped by on a weeknight and it was pretty empty inside. Lots of DoorDash but we were the only ones eating there. We ordered the macho burger and pepper beef burger and both agreed that it was like an in n out burger on steroids. Similar sauce and same fresh veggies but the burger patty was 2-3x thicker, juicier, softer, and had onions mixed in the patty. It was also not oily feeling at all and my bun stayed intact and never got soggy. We were very impressed and ranked it at the top of our burger list. Haven't tried any of their chicken options but we loved the burger.

    Macho Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    Alan L.

    Their specialty fried chicken burger was pretty good, but all the other items we got was a bit disappointing. The popcorn chicken felt like a lot more batter than chicken was used, and the chicken wrap wasn't too great - the tortilla was dry and didn't go too well with the chicken. Furthermore, it was pretty pricey to what amounts to some fast food. Would not recommend visiting

    04. Orleans Grilled Chicken Sandwich
    Shih Fa K.

    Just tried this Chinese burger place. I ordered an Orlean Grilled Chicken Sando. It was a little small and basic for what I paid for it. The service was good; I requested for it to be cut in half, and they followed through on that. Some seating indoors and a few outdoors. Order is through a kiosk.

    Great food and good community partner! My son is hanging posters for his local middle school musical performance and this store graciously allowed us to hang a poster. THANK YOU! Plus the popcorn chicken and spicy wings are fantastic! All local parents should come support this community-friendly restaurant!

I debated heading to Curry Up Now for my fave - deconstructed samosa - but checked to see what decent food was closest & here I came. Man, am I glad I did! Amazing burger with halal bacon. Menu runs from beef burgers to chicken sandwiches & a vegan burger. Everything was freshly made to order. Restaurant was clean, modern & vibe was friendly & positive.

The Good We shared a patty melt with onion rings. The burger was cooked to perfection. It was juicy and flavorful. The grilled onions were perfect, the bread was toasted exactly right, and the grilled onions made it exceptional. The onion rings were crispy and flavorful. The ranch dressing for dipping was yummy. My wife is a Diet Coke aficionado, but they don't carry it. She gave the Salaam Cola a try and was blown away, saying it was better than Diet Coke. I tried it and don't think I could distinguish it from Diet Coke in a blind taste test. I got the berry hibiscus tea which was exactly what I needed on a warm day. The Bad The juicy, saucy burger was so good that we each needed more than one napkin each. It was that good. Total minor point. Summary You need to get in here to try them out. It was our first visit and will definitely not be our last. Support this local business because these are the kind, passionate, life giving business owners that put out exceptional products all of us should support.

I've never had that experience with any other fry but without fail, if I eat super duper garlic fries, I will have a bad night of sleep lol. I always order the mini burger with grilled onions and jalapenos. I used to get the regular burger but that always ended up being way too much meat. Highly recommend adding an egg if you want to splurge, they cook it so well and it tastes delicious with the burger. Also love the pickles but have noticed some inconsistency in flavor every time I go. Sometimes it's just salty, other times more vinegary and sweet. I typically order on the kiosk so I don't interact with the workers much, but service is prompt and friendly, they're definitely not dilly-dallying back there. I also find Super Duper restaurants pretty relaxing and welcoming overall, something about the open, clean space. Also love that everything they use is compostable!

This time I tried their chili BBQ and asked for it to be extra seasoned. I wasn't sure if they were actually extra seasoned though, tbh. And while the fries were piping hot and fresh, they fell short on the crispiness. They were just hot and soft? I've also gotten the seaweed flavor before, and I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm just not too fond of their seasonings for some reason.

    Cool fries, potato guys…read more If you haven't guessed, they specialize in fries. They took over C Food Crush, which used to be San Mateo's only cajun boil place. It's a little odd for a french fry place to have a spacious area, as there's an entire seating area upstairs (so great for hangouts). There's also tables outside, but no seating on the first floor. They also do burgers and other fried snacks. Wish they still had soft serve, but it's discontinued. For their made-to-order crispy fries, you pick either regular or large, the style of fries, and then the flavor/seasoning. Just pick whatever you like best; you can do half and half flavors. Cajun is solid, similar to the cajun fries at any seafood boil place. Seaweed pepper salt is exactly like the Calbee seaweed potato chips - subtly sweet and umami. The garlic + parm flavor was a bit too thick and strong on the parm for me. Large is definitely worth sharing, though you can share regular, too, if you're okay with snack portions. They stack the fries high in the cup! Their chicken sandwich tastes like an upgraded McChicken, and their other fried items are just okay. I'd go here exclusively for the fries unless you want to junk out, as the prices are pretty reasonable. Because items are made to order, it will take at least 5 minutes to get your order unless you're the only customer, so don't expect fast food speed.
