So I got off CalTrain at the Redwood City station and found this place facing me across the street…read more I wanted a quick small meal, so this looked like the place to go. Small and utilitarian quarters. Despite the name, chicken isn't the only meat they offer for tacos and burritos, but they also have something you don't usually see at taquerias: fried chicken. So I had some of that. Comes in a basket with french fries and a small soft roll. This was fantastically good chicken. Light - not heavy or thick - and very crisp skin, covering meat that was so tender and moist, and clearly freshly cooked. Some of the best chicken I've had lately.

They were among the best fish tacos I have had this year! The server was very kind and provided exceptional service. The ambiance was average. I took my meal as takeout.

I tried MB's Place food truck while they were at my work today, and I was honestly really…read moreimpressed! I didn't get one of their actual meals this time--I went with the açaí bowl--but it was SO good. For $16, I thought the portion size was really good, it had plenty of fruit and granola, and I definitely felt like I got my money's worth. The wait was a little over 10 minutes, but honestly, they were serving a lot of people, so it was completely understandable. They even had a sign saying the wait was worth it--and they were right! My friend ordered a fried chicken sandwich, and it looked so good that I immediately regretted not getting an actual meal too. Even just standing near the truck, the food smelled AMAZING. They had a good variety of options like burgers, fried and grilled chicken sandwiches, grilled cheese, tacos, chili, mac and cheese, and more. Overall, I had a really good first experience. The açaí bowl was delicious, the portion was worth the price, and everything else coming out of the truck looked and smelled so good. I would definitely eat here again, and next time I'm trying one of their hot meals for sure!

Spotted at South San Francisco's Concert in the Park. Passed by others eating their fried chicken…read moreand was immediately enticed by the aroma. I ordered the 10 party wings ($17) which I figured was a better bang for your buck vs the tenders and fried chicken burger I was eyeing. I also had to try their smack and cheese which was a seasoned mac and cheese ($9). Their service was amazing. I appreciated their heads up that the wait would be long everything is made to order. I also requested for a sauce and a glove and to my surprise they were more than happy to offer me both at no extra charge. I asked the cashier when to return and she said 12 minutes and appreciated how spot on they were with the estimate. Their party chicken wings were very uniquely marinated with a southern almost cajun like seasoning and was hella crispy. Glad I got to try both and support a small business but both dishes were too salty for my taste personally. Not a chili person but they're well known for it!!

Ps the ssam is actually healthy if you want a good fix without going with the fried chicken (which I always get cause that's the craving). But ssam is just grilled chicken with veggie, wrapped with pickled radish. Delish and healthy.

My favorite was the classic Bánh Mì. It really hits all the notes of a traditional Vietnamese cold-cut bánh mì; the filling is generous, and the flavor is spot on. The Pigly OG and Char Siu are both tasty takes on the traditional style. I do miss that classic crunch from the baguette, but I can't deny that the brioche bun is also really yummy and makes for a fun twist. Overall, everything was very good, and I'm so happy to have a new bánh mì spot in the Mid-Peninsula!

$15.37 w/tax. Pigly OG. Yes, its a go or a to-go…read more The food delivers. I ordered the Pigly OG, and the value is completely there. The portion size is generous and the protein is more than sufficient. ​Taste-wise, the savory meat profile has a delicious Hawaiian beef-barbecue like flavor that stands out. That is balanced out nicely by the crisp, fresh pickled carrots and veggies, which add a fantastic crunch and flavor balance. The bun is outsourced from a commercial kitchen rather than baked on-site, but it gets the job done. While something from an upscale bakery would be an amazing, over-the-top touch, this works just fine for the sandwich. ​This spot is a walk-up-to-the-to-go-window style where you ring the wifi like doorbell. There aren't tables, a place to wash your hands, or a cup of water available on-site, so plan on taking your food to-go. The parking is tight. Expect to double park. Oh, the website to order automatically adds 15% gratuity. Overall, it's a delicious, satisfying bite if you're looking for flavorful, well-priced comfort food to go.

The omelette is soft and fluffy and wraps around a fun well sautéed medley of zucchini, tomatoes, and ground beef. The hashbrown is crispy and the whole wheat toast.. is toast. Can't go wrong there. Service is fast and friendly and while the interior is plain, it still manages to be cozy. Definitely visit if you're looking for a classic american breakfast.

We were seated immediately outside (plenty of seating indoors and outdoors), and they were quick to take our orders. The fresh orange juice was nicely pulpy. I ordered the banana and chocolate chip pancakes with a side of sausage. The pancakes were large (I went for the smaller size of 2 pancakes) and had the perfect amount of fresh ripe banana and chocolate chips. With a dab of butter and pancake syrup - mmmm, so fluffy, warm, and nostalgic. The side of sausage was greasy, but a necessary side to cut down on the sweetness. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and the service was very friendly and attentive!

Was in the area at Grocery Outlet and craving pupusas. There were two trucks outside. I decided to…read moretry this one and I made the right choice! Well, I didn't try the other one, but talked to someone who said this truck is better. I ordered a pork and cheese pupusa. It had beans in it too which I liked. First bite and I thought this was the best I had. The curtido had red cabbage as well as regular and some red pepper flakes which gave it a nice lil kick. Only thing I would have like better if it was sliced through a mandolin to be more like a slaw rather than a rough chop with uneven pieces of cabbage and onion. I prefer the traditional curtido but would add red pepper flakes. The salsa was really good and everything went well together. One was enough for me, but I ordered 4 more to go so I could have some for later. Definitely will be back if I'm in the area.

Did my first order from Slow Burn Eats this past week (order by Thurs for Friday pickup). The TL;DR…read moreis that I was BLOWN away! This is legit restaurant quality food with a homemade feel. I don't even typically like barbecue and I LOVED this! Now for the long details. So I've done quite a few meal prep delivery/pickup services. The first thing I absolutely love about this one is that they will pack your food in your own containers if you want. I hate accumulating a million Tupperware and even the best services with the compostable containers get delivered in big cardboard boxes with freezer packs. This is a real win for me, as the consumer, and for the environment. Kudos! Onto the food! The menu is very enticing, with 3-4 entrees, 2-3 sides, a couple salads, and dessert, plus a juice shot and a drink. Also, they have kids meals! Love that journey for me as I hate to cook and have an 8 month old who will need real food soon lol. Hubs and I got Cajun shrimp and polenta, smoked chicken with cauliflower Mac n cheese, the burrata appetizer, the beet salad, bread pudding, corn bread, and a "hot shot" (apple, Serrano pepper, turmeric). There wasn't a single thing I didn't think was less than amazing. The beet salad - a simple salad of beets, arugula, avocado, goat cheese, tomato, and balsamic glaze - featured sweet beets with a slight crunch (not overly soft) that matched perfectly with the creaminess of the avocado, and tang of the cheese and balsamic. The burrata was a good size serving of very fresh, soft, creamy burrata balls paired with toasted acme bread. Sounds really simple right? One of the best things I've ever put in my mouth! *drool* Ok, now for the entrees. I have had shrimp and polenta in many restaurants and let me tell you. This was better. Hands down. I do not know what was in or on the shrimp. They were amazing! Cooked perfectly, no fishy taste (hate when that happens), and with a bit of spice. I could literally eat this every day. I would turn into a shrimp for this dish. My husband loves bbq and fancies himself a bit of a connoisseur. He wasn't even ready for how good that chicken was! He still can't stop talking about how juicy and flavorful it was, and wondering how they cooked it. I don't usually like BBQ-ed meats because they can be really dry. This was the opposite. Super tender, excellent flavor, and the white BBQ sauce that came with it (I drizzled it on in the pic) was out of this world! Like ranch dressing's southern cousin. Also, who would think cauliflower Mac and cheese would be delicious? But here we are. I know cauliflower can be anything these days (I mean, follow your dreams, am I right?) but that doesn't mean it should be anything (pizza crust, anyone?). This cauliflower, however, found its calling in the form of one of the best Mac and cheeses. Even had a crispy little top. You go cauliflower! The cornbread was dangerously addicting. Not too sweet, not too crumbly, perfect consistency and paired nicely with both the chicken and the shrimp dishes. Last, but absolutely in no way least, the bread pudding and hot shot. The hot shot was hot. She was fire. She was health with a side of slap in the face. That shot would cure COVID, probably (I am not a doctor), and it would definitely clear your sinuses! And the bread pudding was the perfect finish, although I note that the site says it's great for breakfast. Hey, I ain't mad at it. It's an excellent source of carbs and (probably) protein, since chocolate has milk in it, right? Anyway, it's bomb. Not overly sweet, pairs nicely with ice cream or probably a cup of coffee. 12/10 would recommend Slow Burn Eats, and writing this review has made me starving so I'm gonna go look at next week's menu! Whoo!

The salmon is always perfectly cooked and tender. With a generous portion, it's a great dinner meal. The chicken sando is fried to perfection. If you like pork tenderloin, it's tender and juicy, which is hard to do with pork. There's always something new and interesting to try also. Another plus is that the prices are very reasonable and you can get a complete meal. You will be very satisfied with your order!
