Checked out this spot after working out. It's a grab and go with tables outside to eat. Service was quick and efficient. They offer a selection of burritos and biscuits and beverages. I had the mamas burrito with brisket that comes with additional salsa on the side. It was flavorful and well balanced. To drink I opted for an iced chai and it was not overly sweet (which is my preference low sugar) and refreshing. If you're out for a walk or a run in the marina area check them out.

Chicken caesar wrap with paprika chips
Nemrah A.

We came on a Sunday around 1pm and it was pretty busy. The inside is very small with only the register and the kitchen. All the seats and tables provided are outside. Luckily we were able to grab a table as soon as some other people were leaving but I saw some eating in their car. It is a perfect lunch spot though if you live around the area. We got the chicken Caesar wrap alongside their strawberry lemonade. The lemonade was refreshing not overly sweet or tart. The paprika chips were also okay, the paprika not adding much flavor to your basic potato chips. The star of the show is definitely the wrap. The caesar salad was fresh in there and well seasoned with the dressing and the tortilla tasted fresh. The chicken was also very good on it but I wished they added more of it as I was only getting it here and there. Overall if you are around the area and want something light I would come try this place. I will return to try their breakfast burritos!

The lines long but they do a great job working through it and the wait for my food only took 10-15 mins. Service is 10/10. Food tho.. kinda disappointing. Been following them for a long time and was stoked to finally drop in. I got the special breakfast burrito, chicken caesar wrap and a cold brew with banana foam. The bb was fine. 'chorizo' looks like ground beef and tasted like chili. Ended up picking the meat out and everything else inside was pretty solid. The crispy tater tots are money. The caesar wrap was good but nothing special. Some more chicken and tortilla sear would've helped. If I was nearby, craving a wrap, and no line - I'd give this another shot or try the tikka. Cold brew just tasted like dirty water. The chips with the wrap were my favorite part

After seeing how viral Mama's became, I knew I eventually needed to make my way there to try out the Caesar wrap. | vibe | Arrived early around 10:30am on a Saturday and it was already a line. I would say it took about 20ish minutes to order and maybe another 20 minutes to receive our order. It was definitely a wait, but waiting with friends made time pass quickly. It's a very casual place with a few tables on the sidewalk. After receiving our order, we decided to walk to a park to enjoy our food. | food | Chicken caesar wrap (3.5/5): maybe it's bc we didn't eat it right away, but I thought it was just ok. I am a caesar salad lover so I thought the dressing ratio was perfect, but I didn't think it was worth the wait. Breakfast burrito (4/5): with the added brisket, phew! Solid bfast burrito. | tl;dr | Overall, I think the wait was a major factor for me. I think it is nice if you live in the area and come in an off day, but weekends are rough and I did not think the food was worth the wait.

Chopped chicken ceasar wraps
Hailley O.

My friend and I stopped by for lunch and ordered the chopped chicken ceasar salad wraps. It was my first time trying one, and it was delish! The wrap was pretty big and packed with fresh Caesar salad and chicken. Everything tasted fresh and it had the right amount of seasoning and dressing. I also really liked that it came with a side of chips! Our food came out within a reasonable amount of time, and there were outdoor tables available for seating. It was a bit windy when we visited, so we had to keep an eye on our food and napkins, but other than that, we had a great lunch. The wraps were so big that we even had leftovers to enjoy later!

Tried something new-- the breakfast sandwhich. It was really yummy (especially the bread) but not as good as the burrito imo. Line moves fast and orders are served pretty quick. Love this causal brunch spot!

I've been interested in trying Mama's Luncheonette, especially for the Chopped Chicken Caesar Wrap. There was a small line and the place was busy, but it didn't take too long to receive our order. The Chicken Caesar Wrap was stuffed and made for a filling meal. It was sliced in half, which I appreciated because one half was already plenty of food. It also comes with chips, which made for some added crunch on the side. Overall, I thought the wrap was delicious and the flavors were good, it definitely would be a good choice for brunch or lunch in the city.

Burrito

EDIT: this is for the Marin location Vibes are cute and diner-eque. My husband and I ordered the famous breakfast burrito with brisket. The service was quick and friendly. The food itself was good but nothing amazing. I liked that the burrito is filling. My issues were: 1. The brisket was almost flavorless, it just gets lost in the burrito which isn't what I was expecting. But I guess the $3 add on should have been a sign. 2. The burrito has a salsa in it that was spicier than I was mentally prepared for. I KNOW I have a low tolerance for spice though so this is 100% personal 3. The juices were just okay.

I grabbed the Mama's breakfast burrito with smoked brisket added to go and it was a nice and filling breakfast. I enjoyed the combo of the scrambled eggs, avocado and brisket which reminded me of a really nice beef jerky. I do wish the tater tots were a bit crispier but overall it was a nice grab and go option. The burrito itself is mild and the beef and smoked salsa added a nice kick if you want something spicier. The line can be long, especially on weekends, but it's worth the wait and it moves quickly!

Been wanting to try their famous ceasar chicken wrap. Really enjoyed it. Nothing too special really, but the ceasar itself is tasty. Refreshing meal for lunch time. Downside is there's only a few chairs. Very small inside. Good place to get food to go. Parking can also be bery hard.

I rate it an 8/10 or in this case, 4/5 stars because it's not "omg amazing" but it isn't "mid average" either. I didn't like the potato chips that were paired with the wrap tho. Kinda bland. I came for one thing and one thing only. The Caesar salad wrap. My friend and I needed to find a quick bite to eat or bring to the Giants game. We ended up wanting try this spot out after seeing high reviews on social media. The place itself is super tiny so you have to wait out in line to be called inside to order. The wrap was prepared in less than 15 minutes. The wrap portion was generous. Nice crunch factor. Wished there was some sauce to pair with it tho. I would come back to try some of their other offerings!

Chicken Caesar salad wrap with paprika fries
Angela W.

3.4 stars. I recently saw Mama's listed on some influencer's best chicken caesar wraps in SF. I have never had a chicken caesar wrap before but wanted to start my time with them off strong. I dropped by Mama's for weekend lunch and there was a line out the building, which becomes less impressive when you realize the shop itself is just a counter that leads directly into the kitchen. The line moved fairly quickly and I could see the staff inside working as a well-oiled chicken caesar wrapping machine. There are a few tables outside but my friend and I made do on some of the chairs. It was HARD to balance a wrap, the box with chips, and a drink. I started with the carrot, orange, ginger juice. I loved tasting a hint of warmth from the ginger, and the juice was well-balanced otherwise, between the tart orange and sweet carrot. For $18 you get a chicken caesar wrap and paprika fries. The wrap is a pretty decent size and the chicken is quite tender and flavorful. The caesar dressing and parm are funky and the lettuce is crisp. Turns out I don't like caesar salad as much as I'd thought, so I probably would not get this again, but I can appreciate that this was a solid wrap. Would have liked the lettuce chopped smaller, for better mouthfeel and easier eating. The chips were unfortunately so gross to me. They were quite hard and thick, and coated on both sides with a second skin of paprika. Now I consider myself a paprika lover, but even I don't like it to this extent. The chips just tasted very bitter to me, with an unpalatable texture from the sheer amount of powder on each chip. Overall my lunch at Mama's was rather whelming. I think I would be interested in trying some of their other wraps or breakfast items, but I would avoid the chips in the future.

Chopped Chicken Caesar Wrap
Karena S.

Chicken caesar wrap! I saw so many TikToks about this place and I finally got the chance to try it! I came on a Friday around 11 am and there were a few street parking available in front of the store. There are a few tables in front of their store so you can enjoy it fresh off the grill. We ordered the chicken caesar salad wrap and the total came out to be ~$20. Food: Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap (8.2/10): The caesar wrap was honestly a good size. The salad was sauced down perfectly to the point where it wasn't dripping everywhere or needed extra sauce. The lettuce was still crunchy after a 20 minute drive! The caesar dressing was very garlicky (not complaining)! I also really enjoyed the chips that it came with!

Service was great, and they were accommodating of one member of our party who had allergies.

A perfect appetizer to share with the warm pita, and each dip had its own delicious flavor. The calamari was another great starter--tasty and definitely worth ordering. For our mains, the braised beef short ribs were incredibly tender and comforting, served over creamy mashed potatoes with vegetables. We also loved the whole branzino--beautifully cooked, flavorful, and delicious with the greens and grilled lemon. Everything we tried was satisfying and full of flavor. I especially love that Lokma has that charming little neighborhood-restaurant feel where you can settle in, share a bunch of dishes, and enjoy a relaxed meal. Definitely a place I'd happily come back to!

Also, the record is absolutely stunning--I wish took photos of it! My friends and I shared the platters family style and ordered the tea leaf salad, platha and dip with chicken, ginger chili pork, chicken with fresh mint, and some coconut rice and jasmine rice. We had the tea leaf salad mixed by a staff member table-side, which was nice, and the salad itself was simply delicious. Quite possibly one of my favorite salads I've ever had because of all of the wonderful flavors that pair well with each other. The platha and dip that we ordered with shredded chicken in the dip was addicting! The chicken was beautifully tender and the dip was packed with the flavor! I was blown away by the nice texture of the platha as well! As for the main dishes, the ginger chili pork was cooked perfectly, and the ginger and chilis added a lovely flavor and punch to the dish. My favorite between the main dishes has to go to the chicken with fresh mint. I've never had a dish like this, and it made me speechless. The flavors were bursting out of this dish and the bold mint flavors made it even more tantalizing. Lastly, I only had the coconut rice, but it was perfectly cooked since it was nice and fluffy, and the coconut definitely shone through. I will certainly come back whenever I have the chance to come back to the city!

I ordered the tea leaf salad and samosa soup for myself. The samosa soup was absolutely fabulous--rich, flavorful, and so satisfying--and the tea leaf salad was lovely as well. Everything we ordered was delicious, and finding a restaurant that both I AND my kids are this excited about is always a win. We will absolutely be back. Easily a 10/10!

We've tried Halal Wings Plus a few times before throughout the years and it was always a pretty solid choice. The neighborhood is a bit shady, so beware of your surroundings and watch where you're stepping, cuz you don't wanna be stepping on sh** or b@rf! The menu is above the cashier, so you just order and pay up front and get the receipt with your order number. They'll call the number out when it's ready. I think there's roughly 8-10 tables, if you decide to dine in. ***OUR PICKS*** We ordered 20 wings with 2 flavors. LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS ~ lots of pepper flavor but the lemon did not shine. And the chicken meat inside didn't seem marinated and tasted bland. It probably would be better if they added lemon juice after it was cooked or had given us some lemons to squeeze over the chicken before we dug in. 3.5/5 MANGO HABANERO CHICKEN WINGS ~ the sauce was spicy and tangy sweet, but it doesn't seem like they marinate their wings. It's only the sauce that gives the chicken flavor. 3.5/5 The wings aren't at all crispy. And flavor was ok and could have been better. But what was off-putting was the smell of the wings after we boxed it up and took it home! It had this gamey chicken smell as if it was old chicken. At least none of us got sick, but I'll think twice about revisiting.
