San Franciscans’, though I am not a native of your city, I do have respect for a great number of the eateries this city has to offer. With the continuation of COVID-19 restrictions, I have been searching for good food, fair prices, delivery “on-time”, etc., and discovered I was only able to get one of the 3 or a combination thereof. Today, I found MAC’D, delivered by Cavier (DoorDash).
‘Michelin’ rated they are not – but they should be and I don’t mean a one-star rating! (Note: San Francisco is home to about 36 Michelin Star Restaurants, most one-star rated). I lived in SOMA and the restaurant I ordered from was located at 2127 Polk St (about a 10-minute drive from me. I ordered the Hellapeno (w/ jalapenos, roasted mushrooms and chicken) and Mac’d Wings (BBQ and Buffalo). Under special instructions, I noted that I was a fan of heat and to turn it up! They did not disappoint! The pasta was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. It was rich and creamy – smooth. The additions set it off! The meal was properly packaged to hold the heat. I shared this with a friend and really understanding what a mistake I made. The wings, as far as I’m concerned, were by far better that any wing I’ve ever had and yes, they did turn up the heat! And I’m referring to Wing Stop and Buffalo Wild Wings!
It took approximately 35 minutes from the time I placed my order until it actually arrived. I’m not sure what my expectations were BUT this I do know …. My food arrived HOT. Not warm. HOT! That in itself was worth the price of admission. The flavors and textures took me back to a period in time were pride was taken in the kitchens of restaurants as they compete for customers in the city that is known for loyalty to the only the absolute BEST. I was shocked and amazed at the same time and to think that I had all be given up on being completely satisfied conducting a transaction. Thank you, Mac’d.
This was a great experience. The quality of the food, the portions, their packaging and the price. I got a damn good meal at a fair price; delivered safely and done so with pride. If this is the service I can expect every time I place an order – trust and believe I will be ordering at least 5 days a week.
To the kitchen staff I have this to say: YOU GUYS ROCK! I have not had food this well prepared and packaged for delivery in more than 2 years! Thank you for a job well done! To the owners: You have some amazing recipes. If you ever become a rated restaurant I fear that it may push your operations beyond anything you can imagine. I am a person big on “service” and “satisfaction” both of which your place not only met but exceeded my expectations. Again, thank you.
