If you're ever stuck living out by the San Francisco Airport (perhaps you just moved to the area, can't find an apartment, and are living in the cheapest hotel you could find), there are several food options to explore. First off, there is an In N' Out Burger, which has been previously discussed on this blog and already certified as awesome. Another option for food is L&L's Hawaiian Barbeque. This is a chain that originated from Hawaii, offering the mainland fast food Hawaiian style. The portions are gigantic, the flavors are original, and the price is cheap. I like the Chicken Katsu, which is their version of breaded, deep-fried chicken. The breading is crispy, it avoids being too greasy, and the sweet dipping sauce it comes with is yummy. And you get a side of rice with it, which is probably way better than french fries. Although the other side every meal comes with is a macaroni salad that's pretty heavy on the mayonnaise. Another place nearby is Tortillas, which my boyfriend has proclaimed as having the best (and largest) burritos he has ever eaten. You can get them normal or "super-sized." They have a lot of great meat options, like carne asada, chorizo, shredded pork, spicy chicken, and barbecola. I had the taco salad, which was a fairly generous portion size as well. The spicy salsa is basically diced up jalapenos with pico de gallo. I've only been living on the West Coast since last Friday and I already love that even the fast food is authentic Mexican and spice level is nothing to laugh about! Both of the restaurants in this post are chains, but in my opinion bring a whole new flavor profile to "fast food."
