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.

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

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.

Been here once as recommended by my nephew and bragging about how good their fried chicken is. And he was really telling the truth, their chicken is top notch! Came here one night and ordered their popcorn chicken, their XXL chicken chop, they were so good! crunchy, and yet maintained the tenderness of the meat! Seasoning is very addicting. Love the seaweed seasoning. Got a bit of a spicy kick with it! got to try the cartilage too, flavor is there but its just that there is nothing to eat in that stick, lol! Also I ordered the truffle burger as recommended too. Now this is a big disappointment! The Patty is overcooked and hard, flavor is there but for the price that i paid for it is not worth it. The bread that they use is too dry and falls apart when you bite into it. I would have given this place 4-5 stars if not for that burger. If evr I will come back, it's because of their chicken, nothing more.

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.

Crispy Chicken Sandwich
Kristina M.

Parking: The lot is adjacent to the Hilton Hotel and can get really busy with the shared businesses in this plaza. However, there is abundant underground parking. Ambiance: Friendly service. Ordering was easy on your own through a kiosk. We came during a weekday lunch rush and waited about 10 minutes for our food. The space itself is clean. I was surprised by the rose gold food tray, wooden panels on the wall, and mid-modern century chairs. While waiting, I noticed a lot of people coming in to pick up orders to-go. Food: The chicken sandwich reminded me of a fast food chicken sandwich - crispy chicken, iceberg lettuce, and heavily slathered mayo. However, the quality and taste exceeded a fast food's standard. The chicken was gargantuan, wonderfully crispy, well-seasoned, and so juicy. The bread was buttery and soft. It was such a satisfyingly delicious chicken sandwich. The regular fries were salt and peppered. The curly fries were addicting. They only had ketchup (free) and dried seasonings (extra fee). I wished there was a ranch dressing to go with the addicting curly fries! But that is just fast food-eating, 'ol American me. Conclusion: This is a restaurant that knows how to treat their fried chicken! If you appreciate fried chicken sandwiches, this is the place for you. I will absolutely be craving it and returning!

Kept it simple with a spicy chicken sandwich! Loved the bun, sauce and breading. This was loaded with spicy flavor! The marinade penetrated deep and I love that they opted for a chicken thigh piece over breast. Not bad, Macho. Also had a few curly fries and found them nicely seasoned as well. Will be back to try more items but the price is quite steep compared to other chicken spots.

Fish sandwich
Lisa N.

We visited this spot in the plaza next to where Tsujita used to be. Parking on a weekday night was easy, though I'm not sure how weekends are. We saw reviews saying the wait could be 30 minutes, so we called ahead and were surprised when they told us our food would be ready in 10 minutes. Sure enough, everything was ready when we arrived. The restaurant itself is very small. My son even asked why it was so tiny. The tables comfortably fit one person, maybe two at most, so we had to push two tables together just for our family of three. I wouldn't say it's family-friendly--definitely more suited for solo diners. Now the food: surprisingly good. We ordered the classic crispy chicken sandwich. The fried chicken was juicy, well-brined, and perfectly fried. It wasn't as thick as the photos on Yelp, so maybe they've downsized a bit due to inflation, but the flavor was solid. I wasn't completely full, so I probably could've eaten two. FYI, the brioche bread is very airy and fluffy that it flattens really easily, making the sandwich smaller than expected. The Brimage bread is and made in house because we saw bags and bags on trays out in the open. But the brioche bread is so damn good. The popcorn chicken was spicier than expected. We ordered by phone and didn't know it was spicy, so my little one couldn't eat it. We also tried the fried fish sandwich. I'd give it 3.5 stars. It didn't really taste like fish, but the sauce and brioche bread made it enjoyable. I wanted to try their shrimp sandwich (the one that's often sold out) so I might return for that next time. Overall, the food was good, but I wouldn't dine in again because the space is so small and not ideal for groups. We ordered, ate, and left; during the whole time, no other customers came in, though quite a few people peeked inside out of curiosity. One last thing: our sandwich was $9.99, not $13 like Yelp lists. I'd come back for the food, but definitely for takeout.

Popcorn Chicken
Andy T.

Many chicken sandwiches places have been in popping up over the year. I finally decided to give Macho Burger a try to see how it compares to its competitors. I made a takeout order on a food app and picked it up around 5:30pm. For my order, I got the spicy chicken sandwiches places and a side order of the popcorn chicken. I appreciated that they stapled the bag, so nothing was rolling around when I was driving. My initial impression was that it smelled really good. The popcorn chicken was crispy, spicy, and juicy in the middle. There's no sauce that comes with it, but honestly it had a lot of flavor by itself. They gave a lot of pieces, but I honestly got a bit tired of it. As for the spicy chicken sandwich, it tasted okay. In my opinion, it tasted slightly spicy, but a bit sweet. The crispness was similar to the popcorn chicken. Overall, I thought the food was okay. In terms of value, the popcorn chicken is worth it, especially if you are sharing it.

Kenneth L.

01/31/2025 Ordered a crispy chicken sandwich and popcorn chicken from Macho Burger it's so yummy and juicy a bit pricey compared to Popeyes. Popeyes doesn't have any popcorn chicken just the chicken sandwich and fried chicken.

Susan G.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place! Didn't have high expectations but it came out to be pretty delicious. I tried their Macho crispy chicken sandwich and their black pepper cheeseburger. Both were pretty good. Their curly fries were spectacular! I am looking forward to coming back soon!

I went on a Bahn Mi food crawl consisting of seven different shops. Saigon Bakery and Sandwiches…read morewas my first stop. Great friendly and efficient staff. Even 45 mins before closing, there were still many customers coming in to buy sandwiches and other goods. All patrons except me appeared to be Vietnamese which is a good indication that this is a beloved and reliable local shop. I got the Saigon Special. The sandwich was loaded and had a good amount of pate. The bread which is baked in house was crisp, yet still soft on the inside.

The total for everything plus tax came out to $25.91. These were the items I got: Banh Mi Cha Lua w/ paté: Not the worst cha lua w/ pate I had. It was pretty standard. The bread was super crumbly and became difficult to keep together at some point. 3/5 Banh Mi Ga: Shredded chicken sandwich...also wasn't bad. Rather traditional tasting and it wasn't dry. Bread didn't fall apart, which was nice. 3.5/5 stars Goi Cuon: The OG summer roll was pretty fresh. Shrimp wasn't fishy and the pork slice wasn't overly tough. The dipping sauce was a little too thick for my liking, but it was still edible. 3.5/5 stars Paté Sol: Ground chicken & woodear mushrooms baked in puff pastry. It's ok, but not the best I've had. 3/5 stars Even though the yelp page says it's cash-only, they do take credit cards now, but the purchase needs to be $15+ Free parking is available on site.

Plus, when you have cheese, the juice from the meat, and other sauce in it, Mayo is just confusing and unnecessary. The sandwich itself tasted good, but it was a lot of bread for the meat and toppings served. I would've appreciated having some of the bread hollowed out. But if you like lots of bread, then this is your jam. Price is decent for this day and age, and it was a big sandwich. I might come back and try the patty melt. I love Patty melts

The passion fruit drink was super bright sweet fragrant and fruity with crunchy passion fruit seeds and chewy rainbow jellies at the bottom. The homemade yogurt was the perfect creamy consistency, tangy, tart, and actually really yummy. Lowkey thought it was like coconut pudding or almond jello at first but it's yogurt. As usual super thoughtful banh mi packaging to make sure nothing gets soggy. And both had light crisp airy bread with plenty of fresh crunchy veggies, rich mayo and pate and plenty of meats. The special one had savory flavorful pork belly, crunchy pig ear, and bouncy Viet deli meats. My grandma's favorite type of banh mis are the specials and she thought this one was really good.

Once you walk in you can smell the sausage roll and meat pies being made fresh! They have a general menu of what flavors they have for the day or week not sure.

They do ask if you like them to warm it up for you in case you are eating it on the spot. I said no and took it home to put in the air fryer. I can't wait to go back and try other things they have.

Hubby got the Classic Aussie sandwich and the bread pudding, while my son and I got the Beef Pho meat pies and Popcorn Pork meat pie rolls. The beef pho meat pie definitely had the pho flavors and aromatics. This was absolutely delicious! The Popcorn Pork was good, not as aromatic as the pho pie. The flavor was lacking on the Taiwanese popcorn chicken basil flavor that it claimed. It reminded me more of a Vietnamese meat pie (pate chaud), which is peppery with a smoother texture that this one did not have, but it was still flavorful. The bread pudding was good but the texture was more dense reminding me of a banana bread loaf. I didn't care for the dollop of yogurt on top, which took away from the flavor of the bread pudding itself. Hubby said the Classic Aussie was good but was expensive for the size of the sandwich (small burger size). Hubby got the Long Black coffee which was good, but sadly my iced matcha latte was lacking in the matcha flavor. It was very pale in color and tasted mostly of milk. Service was quick and friendly. I will come back for the meats and try the other flavors of the meat pies next time.

It is good. It is the same price at the beef version but understandly so. The chicken meat was grilled tenderly, and the slice of ham it came with added the saltynesss the sandwich needed. Simple but effective. Also chilies adds great flavor too. You can ask for it on the side to adjust spiciness to your preference. Capicollo, one of the cold sandwich, was fine but nothing to write home about. Atlas or wings ($11.99/lb) here remind me of the ones I used to get when I was younger... I like how the spicy version is still deed fried and not saucy. (Personally prefer dry rubs.) The heat can creep up to u after a few. But not all wings are created equally, might end with with some tiny more battered ones along with regulars.

Got some cheese empanadas, chicken wings & French fries. What do that to me was the cheese and vanilla, very cheesy and savory!
