Chicken burgers are So yummy
Debbie W.

Wanted to try something new and this place popped up on my search. I'm glad we gave this a try as it was surprisingly quite good. The chicken patty in our burger was very juicy and thick. We really enjoyed them. We also ordered the regular hamburger, but I would recommend sticking with the chicken burgers. Our other favorite order was the This place a self-serve location. You order on your own at a kiosk and you'll only see the staff when they bring out your order. Parking can be tricky since its located in a very busy plaza. We parked in the neighboring street and walked around. The space has a few seating areas and there are many other things located in the plaza while you wait for your food. I would recommend this to others.

Burger, Popcorn Chicken, Chicken Tender

Chicken was very crispy and juicy. Massive burger/sandwich for $10-$11 and they use brioche buns My friends and I ordered online and the food was ready when we arrived. Spicy chicken sandwich and burger, popcorn chicken highly recommended I think I wasn't used to the style of chicken tenders. I'm used to it looking like big fat pieces but it was more skinny and it comes with different flavors too Clean and there were tables to eat inside Nice atmosphere

Chicken tenders

You either order online or at a kiosk, no one is out front most of the time. There is a little of space to sit in decent seats but it'll be very hard to eat with more than 2-4 people. Pretty much everything tastes like it uses the same spice, I don't remember but that typical Chinese slightly spicy flavor. And then the other flavors are in additional. The chicken is decent and a lot - very salty and somewhat spicy Curly fries - normal, better than normal fries Normal fries - soggy, werent very good. You can't lettus wrap or remove the buns of any of the sandwiches when ordering Combo - fries and soda is $5 more Not my kind of place

Tried Macho Burger recently and was honestly impressed by the chicken sandwich. The sandwich itself was pretty simple, but the chicken was definitely the star -- super juicy, well seasoned, and had a really nice crisp on the batter. Everything came out piping hot and tasted really fresh, which always makes a difference. We forgot to grab any sauces, but the chicken was good enough to raw dog on its own. Definitely curious to come back and try the burgers next time.

Macho Crispy Chicken Sandwich

Been wanting to come back again since I first tried Macho so came here for lunch while I was in the area. They have a self ordering kiosk and I ordered the Macho Crispy Chicken Sandwich (9.99). I did dine in and they have a couple tables inside to sit at. The food was ready in about 10 minutes which is quick. The chicken sandwich was pretty good, the chicken quality is as good as the first time I ate it. But maybe because I wasn't as hungry so it didn't taste as good. The chicken patty seemed a bit less juicy than last time though. But still a pretty good chicken sandwhich although pricier than other places, it does have an Asian taste to it compared to western places. I think this is still a good spot for crispy chicken sandwich in the SGV. I think the Monterey Park location tasted better though.

Got the whole fried chicken which was super juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside (as fried chicken should be). I actually thought it tasted identical to KFC, which was a pleasant surprise. Slightly disappointing was the size of the whole chicken (which was probably about the width of my hand), but it was delicious nonetheless. Burger was good but tasted like any other burger.

Popcorn Chicken
Ashley Y.

Best popcorn chicken I've had in awhile!!! I got the regular and spicy cumin flavor. I think it was around $7 each but they give you a pretty decent amount. Regular-- just usual fried chicken, kind of savory Spicy cumin-- GOOD!! Has a spicy kick, way more fragrant, definitely worth to pay the upgrade for seasoning Also, the chicken chunks are nice and big and are still moist and juicy on the inside! Also some places are cheap where the chicken pieces are small and there's just chunks of fried batter... but not here!! Super good value for the money and the quality is great!!!

Macho Crispy Chicken Sandwich ($9.99 - Spicy Version)
Ian A.

I had a good experience at Macho Burger (San Gabriel). I ordered the Macho Crispy Chicken Sandwich ($9.99 - Spicy). It's HUGE!! Its chicken is also juicy, thick, and fresh. "TASTY!" (IMPORTANT: Cash is not accepted. Bring card or contactless payment.) I arrived at Macho Burger (San Gabriel) on Tuesday (around 1:24PM). Parking is easy because there's a big underground parking structure. The sign says, "2 Hours Customer Parking Only." Staff interaction felt nonexistent. Customers can order at two self-service kiosk or the counter. However, Staff regularly vanishes to the kitchen. It's common to see an empty room. When Staff brought the food, Staff was robotic and swiftly scampered away without speaking. The food took four minutes and 38 seconds. Good time! As mentioned, I enjoyed the Macho Crispy Chicken Sandwich ($9.99 - Spicy). Its bread bun is fluffy and buttery. The chicken is thick, hot, and juicy with a light welcomed spice. Its breading is cooked perfectly; the outer layer offered a thin, crackly crunch. The lettuce is fresh, and the sauce had a faint sweetness. I felt extremely happy as I bit into this massive sandwich. I had a dumb smile as I feasted. Regarding ambiance, Macho Burger (San Gabriel) is clean and comfortable. There's six interior tables and one tall counter. There's also a gender neutral restroom for customers. However, the music has a loud, upbeat tune. The decor is also sleek and welcoming. Overall, I had a delightful meal at Macho Burger (San Gabriel). It's one of the best chicken sandwiches that I've tasted. I left full and happy. If you love chicken, this is an easy recommendation. 4.9 out of 5

Fried Chicken Chop
Sharon H.

The cumin fried chicken chop was crispy and has a lovely crisp and for the price it's really good. My family also loves the Beijing and California wraps. Crispy chicken and saucy goodness for all reasonable prices.

XXL Fried chicken chop $11
Amy Y.

I tried a Taiwanese-style burger and snack spot that specializes in fried foods with lots of options. There are only a few tables, but the space feels open and comfortable. Ordering is very convenient thanks to their self-service kiosk. XXL Fried Chicken Chop - A huge piece of chicken seasoned with furikake. It was crispy on the outside, thin layer of chicken, and clearly made fresh. Definitely large enough to share. Overall, I recommend dining in and enjoying the fried food right away for the best taste.

Crispy chicken burger
Selene S.

Located in a busy plaza in busy San Gabriel, parking can be a challenge. Got their crispy chicken burger which is a good portion for the price. Ambiance is a few seating. You order yourself at one of two kiosks. There's a restroom at the back.

Suppose to be chicken tenders but it's all breaded no chicken  in sight.
Kevin C.

It should be illegal to serve this on their menu. Went through the whole box and found less than 4-5 of pieces of very thin chicken , the rest is just batter. Come on, Macho, u need to do better.

Elika Z.

This spot was a small little spot in SGV that really wowed me. I wasn't expecting for this place to be good but it surprised me. We got the tenders, wrap, and sandwich and I cant even pick what I like more. Everything was actually good and seasoned to perfection. I would go back again and try other things. Quick service and fresh food when we got it.

This is unfortunately the second time I have found hair cooked into/on the bread of my sandwich here. Finding hair in your food once is an oversight, but happening twice points to a serious quality control and hygiene issue in the kitchen. When I brought this to the staff's attention, their reaction was entirely unacceptable. They gave a rude, insincere apology and defensively asked, "What do you want us to do about it?" instead of proactively fixing the situation. They ultimately agreed to replace the sandwiches--likely only because other customers were nearby--but their behavior afterward was incredibly unprofessional. While waiting for the remakes, I overheard the staff talking badly about us behind our backs, claiming we were "accusing them" and that the hair didn't come from their kitchen. Instead of taking genuine accountability and ensuring food safety standards were met, the team chose to insult and gossip about paying customers. Replacing the food does not make up for treating customers with hostility and disrespect. I will not be returning, and I strongly advise management to review both their kitchen sanitation practices and staff customer service training.

Unfortunately, my first visit was a bit disappointing. I ordered the grilled beef bánh mì, which took about 18 minutes even though it wasn't busy, and it arrived cold. The bread looked amazing on the outside--golden and crisp--but the inside was incredibly dry and paper-like. It made the sandwich difficult to finish without constantly drinking water. The pâté and egg mayo were also spread so thinly that I could barely taste them. The meat was a generous portion, and there were plenty of pickled radish and fresh vegetables. The price was also very reasonable for the amount of food. However, being Vietnamese myself and having tried bánh mì in many places, this unfortunately wasn't one of my favorites. I also ordered the Vietnamese iced coffee, which was unfortunately very watered down. Even though it was freshly made, it lacked the strong coffee flavor and creamy sweetness from the condensed milk that I was expecting. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but between the cold sandwich, extremely dry bread, lack of pâté/egg mayo flavor, and watered-down coffee, the overall experience missed the mark for me. I'd consider giving it another try, but this visit didn't quite live up to the hype.

Though their sandwiches are not the fanciest sandwiches, Tito's Market make solid sandwiches. I arrived at Tito's Market with a party of 4 on a Sunday. It was around 12:30PM and a lunch line had started from the cashiers that went to the refrigerators. The line was pretty fast though and it seemed like patrons knew the gist and tables emptied out just as they finished their meals. My group ordered 4 of Tito's hot sandwiches: milanesa de res, lomo de res, and two ribeye. All large/full sizes. My group also ordered one of each of their empanades (beef, chicken and cheese) and a side order of fries. I had the lomo de res and was able to sneak a bite of each of the sandwiches. Although the sandwiches looked fairly identical, all the meats were noticeably unique. The lomo de res (filet mignon) was very tender, but I have to admit that the ribeye was my favorite from the 3. Fries breaded and a great addition to the meal. Empanadas were also very tasty. The meat was ground meat and are the doughy (rather than flakey) kind. Expect a cheese pull moment with their cheese empanada! The only quip that I have with the empanada was that they left a pretty gnarly oil stain in the bags they were packed it. I felt pretty guilty at the sight. Water is available if you ask for cups, but they also have a variety of imported drinks. As the name mentions, they have a small grocery store as well that takes up a third of their shop. Tito's market had plenty of seating when we came in. It seemed packed, but people did their due diligence, cleaned up and left after having their meal. Parking was fine although the spaces are on the smaller side (if you have a SUV or bigger.) There seemed to be plenty of parking when I visited, but there was curbside parking as well.
