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!

Out front. cold brew with oat milk, pb, and banana foam.

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

Caesar salad wrap

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

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!

Chopped Chicken Caesar Wrap

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!

Here i am again, asking myself the same thousand dollar question, would I come back again?…read moreAbsolutely yes! "Say yes to the rest" will be my new slogan, "rest", short for restaurant Ok, here are the reasons: Food - 5 stars: order quite a few things. Steak and eggs. Steak was perfectly cooked and sofr and seasoned. It was also already sliced, which was super nice. Since I ordered to go. The eggs, the potatoes, the toast. Everything was Absolutely delicious. Avocado toast, was very delightful. Omelet was vary savory and delicious. And waffle was very good. Everything had flavor and the portions were generous. The presentation was nice, even in to-go containers. Prices - 4 stars: prices were just right, considering the cost of food. Steak and eggs was $30, but again, good portions and you can taste the quality. I always say, if your prices are up there, it better be worth it. And the prices were not high, just right, but they show for it. Facility and staff - 5 stars: obviously if you're eating at this place is because you're staying around locally, parking can be a challenge but jot impossible. Facility is very clean, nice and presentable and staff members are very nice. Only one suggestion to either owner or business manager. Find containers with perforations on the lids for it's me like steak and potatoes so that bread and potatoes don't become soggy with the moisture. Dont take my word for it, come give them a try, I dont think you'll be disappointed

Damnnn this place is so good. I hardly visit SF so I asked Chat for a recommendation for my…read morebirthday brunch and it recommended Lapisara and how thankful am I! I made a reservation through Yelp but it seemed like they don't really check yelp for that so I would recommend to call for a table. Luckily, we showed up 30 mins early and there was a corner table near the kitchen available for my party of 5. I had the smoked salmon toast because I'm a basic bitch but whatever it was really yummy with a nice fresh half of avocado, salmon, capers.. all the fixings. The only issue about it was the two giant patty sized slices of red onion was intense. I only ate one ring of it because that's all it needed but I guess it's better for the option of more than too little? Idk not that serious. It came with a side salad that looked undressed but whatever magical dressing they put on it.. hello I need the recipe!! Peach Bellini pitcher was yummy and the brut was acceptable. My party of 5, including 2 brunch fiends and two fabulous locals, said they all really liked the food. If I'm in the area I would definitely come again! What we ordered: Chai latte Mocha Regular latte Peach Bellini liter Smoked salmon toast Smoked salmon cruffle (croissant smashed in a waffle iron) with an added poach egg Holy Chili bomb basil omelette Thai panang omelette Meat lovers omelette The restaurant is cute with a beautiful natural light. I just wish we had a better table but again, it was acceptable. We did metered parking 2 blocks away for $6 for 2.5 hours.

The Plow- husband was very happy with this. 9/10 Mochi cake- 8/10 BLT- 6/10 - needs way more bacon and lots More mayo. They have indoor and outdoor seating and reserve outdoor for those with dogs.

Came on a Tuesday morning & the wait wasn't too bad for a party of 2. It was my bf bday and we ordered mimosas, we got ID and the waiter noticed it was his bday and said happy bday. We didn't expect a candle to come with his breakfast plate and it did & was so thoughtful & cute. I ordered the plow which has: two eggs, two lemon ricotta pancakes + plow potatoes with choice of house made pork sausage patties, bacon, or chicken apple sausage link. I went with the bacon and it did not disappoint The lemon ricotta pancakes were the star of the show so soft & yummy. My bf ordered the steak & eggs which has: hanger steak, chermoula, two eggs, simple green salad & buttered toast. We both grubbed & can't wait to be back to try the rest of the menu.
