I bought 'Chopped Potatoes & Thick Beef with Rich Garlic Mayo' and 'Mexican Cheese Chicken'. As it is a collaboration, the wrapper is printed with Evangelion's two main heroines, Rei and Asuka.

First of all, I'll try 'Chopped Potatoes & Thick Beef with Rich Garlic Mayonnaise'.

The original bun, which is modeled after an AT field, is stuffed with a beef patty mixed with garlic mayonnaise and steak sauce, a chopped potato patty, and cheese.

It looks like this when cut in half. The chopped potato patty is crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, and goes perfectly with the garlic mayo and steak sauce, which have a strong garlic aroma. Burgers with potatoes as the main ingredient can sometimes have a monotonous taste, but the 'Chopped Potatoes & Thick Beef Rich and Delicious Garlic Mayo' has a rich flavor from the two types of sauce, and I was able to enjoy the 100% synchronized taste without getting bored until the end.

Next I had the Mexican Cheese Chicken.

The chicken patty is combined with taco meat filling, mayonnaise, cheese, and pickles.

The taco meat filling is tomato-based with a smoky flavor and a spicy kick, bringing out the umami of the chicken. In addition, the mayonnaise sauce and cheese give it a mild aftertaste, making it an addictive dish that can also be recommended for children and those who don't like spicy food.

'Zaku-Cut Potatoes & Thick Beef Rich Garlic Mayo (540 yen including tax)' and 'Mexican Cheese Chicken (490 yen including tax)' can be ordered at McDonald's stores nationwide from Monday, January 6, 2025. Also, from the same day, 'Cheese Double Teriyaki (530 yen including tax)' , a Godzilla burger that was collaborated with Godzilla in 2024, will be reprinted.
