    Pancit with whole shrimp
    Shannon G.

    So grateful I discovered Little Mama's. Whenever I'm in Round Rock, I have to swing by and get my pancit and lumpia. I always like to order in person and dine in, but get my food in to go boxes. I eat a little there and then everything is already packed up and I can take the left overs home. So much food. I can eat it again at dinner and lunch for work the next day. 12 lumpia doesn't last long. Truly is my favorite. This time when I orders pancit I got it with shrimp. I didn't know, or I should say, I didn't realize that the shrimp would be full body. Head, eyes and all. Next time I'll just get pancit plain. Nothing fancy.

    Came in to pick up my order but ended up deciding to dine in. The food did take a little while, but it was clearly made with love because everything I had was delicious. The lechon (crispy roasted pork) had the perfect crackly skin, and the pancit (stir fried noodles) was full of flavor. For dessert, I tried the ube cheesecake and the halo-halo. The ube cheesecake had great texture, though I wish the ube flavor had been a little stronger. The halo-halo (a shaved ice dessert) was the highlight for me. It reminded me a bit of Vietnamese chè ba màu (three-color dessert), especially with the sweet mix of textures and the scoop of ice cream on top. I loved the bits of jello too. It was my first time trying halo-halo and I'll definitely be back for it. The experience is more self-service than full dine-in, but I didn't mind that. You place your order at the counter and there's only a few small tables to sit at. There's a separate table with to-go boxes, napkins, and utensils so you can help yourself when needed. The staff was really nice and I liked that it was quiet and peaceful when we visited around 2 PM on a weekday. There's plenty of parking in the lot, which is always a bonus.

    4.11.25 I spent some time here a few years ago when I was in the area. This is one of those I thought I had posted a review but unfortunately I hadn't. So here goes. The owner is so kind & gracious. She is very welcoming and makes you feel like you're in her own personal kitchen. The service is beyond stellar. She made me feel like I was invited to her home each time I was there. The colors are vibrant inside and it feels very cozy. It's on the smaller side but what else do you need? The food is outstanding. Top notch. One day I was there they weren't there even though the posted hand written sign said different. That's ok, she more than made up for it the other times I visited. The food is very fresh. The flavors to me were amazing. I don't often get to indulge in the authentic Filipino food. So I was in heaven. I have enjoyed some of the best lumpia I've ever come across. Keep doing what you're doing Little Mama's. Keep doing you. It's working.

    This is my second time here and the the first time I thought they were great this time they were awesome. Only thing that changed much is the price but like what everything else in the world is expected and we want great tasting fresh lumpia made to order right there. This is a place to go to. Don't let the building exterior interior fool you. They know what they're doing here. Lots of different items on the menu to choose from. I definitely will be trying more things in the future. Give them a shot. Let me know what you think. Customer service is out of this world very friendly staff help support your local businesses

    Chicken adobo, and a side of fried rice
    Sandra K.

    We ordered a Chicken adobo, lechon kawali, sides of fried rice, and halo halo for dessert over the phone Friday afternoon and the food was ready within 20 minutes. The chicken adobo was so flavorful and tender, paired perfectly over the fried rice. The lechon kawali was a bit on the dryer side, but it was still delicious and the serving size was plentiful. The halo halo had a ton of tasty ingredients and it was large enough for two of us to share it. The prices are a bit high, but I was happy to support a small business. The establishment seems to run mainly on their to go orders, but there was a couple of tables to eat at inside the restaurant. Their sign and building could use some improvement, and their interior is not too inviting, but I'm assuming that is due to Covid, since my coworker told me they used to have a buffet and a ton of seating before the pandemic. If you don't mind that, this is the spot to get great Filipino food.

    Pancit and Spring Rolls
    Rachael Y.

    This is a small and welcoming restaurant. The individual working the front was so kind when we walked in and walked us through the menu. The portions are fantastic and the food is so tasty. My husband and I got the pancit and the spring rolls .

    You know you hit the best food when it is a hole in a wall cooked by mom. It seems like it's a mother and daughter team. So friendly. Joanna is the daughter and Nita is the mom. Comfort Filipino food. The sigsig is amazing! It is crispy pork belly, liver and fried egg. I love how they separate it from the rice. The pancit is delicious. The glass noodles are not clumped together which you know that's the best! We got the ube cheesecake as well and Halo Halo as desserts. Definitely coming back here.

    Halo Halo
    Jordan B.

    Excellent Halo Halo full of flavor. Great customer service. The staff make you feel right at home and will explain the menu you to you if it is your first time trying Filipino food.

    This review is based solely on the poor potion size. Haven't tried the food yet. Ordered Kare-Kare and Pork Adobo. The portion size of the Pork Adobo is crazy small. Maybe a 1/3 of the container full. Along with the Adobo came enough rice to feed a small army though. Need to work on portion sizes. Not sure it was worth the $$ and the drive from Georgetown

    Only half of our order shown
    Christina H.

    3 years later and Little Mamas' still as good as when I first had it, maybe even more so... As usual, had to order all the classic Filipino hits (Chicken Adobo, Lumpia, Garlic Rice, Spam Fried Rice, Skewers) and some new ones (Kare kare). Everything was spectacular, and not a single thing I would have gotten rid of or change. I had meals for days and not a single regret. The food is SOOOOOO good!! I've had the "classic hits" I've listed before, but the Kare Kare was a first. I was skeptical to try, as Kare kare typically has lord knows what (pig leg, tripe, etc), but Little Mama's uses Oxtail. Verdict? The Oxtail was incredibly tender to the bone and the stew was incredibly rich in flavor. With the addition of the Bagoong (the pink paste aka fermented shrimp), it added an extra layer of depth and flavor. WARNING: USE ONLY IN MICROSCOPIC SERVINGS If you're reading this before you come, don't be intimated or judgmental of the location or the aesthetics of the restaurant. This is the bare bones and actually reminded me of the local restaurants in Hawaii. You'll find a makeshift cashier counter made of folding tables and an old fridge, prohibited access to restrooms, and two tables with foldable chairs.

    Ginataan bilo bilo (dessert pudding)
    Charli V.

    Okay Lil mama. You are doing the damn thang! My partner, baby, and I made a trek up to round rock for this. It was busyyyy, we had an hour wait time after ordering so we whipped over to ikea to keep the baby entertained. the wait was so worth it. We ordered lechon, chicken bbq skewers, and a ginataan bilo bilo for dessert. All the seats were taken inside this cute and humble store. We decided to have a picnic in our minivan anyway bc the baby finally feel asleep. What a nice little treat everything was. The pork belly used for lechon had the perfect meat to fat ratio, it was marinated well, and fried to the best crispness. Comes with two sauces, vinegar and lechon sauce. The bbq chicken was sweet, savory, and had just a hint of char from the grill. There are 4 very generous sticks of meat. Both entrees came with regular white rice that was a good wet/dry level, (IYKYK) Everything was still good as leftovers the next day! I'll come everyday from drippin springs for that ginataan. It's delicious. My 9 month old would also agree.

    Chicken skewers and fried rice
    Brian C.

    The sisig and pandan dessert were notably delicious. The fried rice got mixed reviews from my kids who eat a ton of fried rice. I was surprised that they couldn't make chicken fried rice, so I had to order chicken skewers with veggie fried rice. It's a small joint with a small staff so you will wait a while for your food, but I would definitely come back and try more things. The dessert case is loaded with goodies, so save room!

    The cooking is good, but the portion is so small for the price you pay. It's just too much money it's disappointing.

This place happened to be just a few minutes from our hotel and I'm really glad we gave it a shot. First off, it's very mom-and-pop -- no frills, straight to the point, and focused on the food. I did think it was interesting that they also operate as a Chinese restaurant, but honestly, it's probably a smart move given the area. More ways to bring people in the door. The staff were incredibly friendly. It genuinely felt like being back in the Philippines. They were also super accommodating with our toddler, which always earns bonus points from me. We ordered the pansit, sizzling sisig, and sizzling chicken BBQ and all three were delicious. The pansit was savory and loaded with veggies and shrimp. The sisig was nicely peppery with just the right amount of spice. The sizzling chicken BBQ was such a great twist on the classic -- I might actually prefer it this way over skewers. It was easier to eat and came with extra sauce to drizzle over rice. Even though we were stuffed and already had to-go boxes, we couldn't skip halo-halo. It was the perfect ending -- refreshing, sweet, and exactly what we needed. If I lived here, I'd honestly be a regular. If you're looking for solid Filipino food in Austin, this is definitely a spot to check out.

According to Tammy, the owner, this family-owned truck serves authent ic pacific island food from Maui, Guam, Philippines, and Okinawa. It was nice talking to Tammy as she was super engaging.

While the hubs and I are still married, next time we will take a helicopter to the waterfalls in Hana. Smile. I ordered the Teriyaki & Shoyu Chicken bowl.
