The food here is excellent and the staff are incredibly friendly. The line can be long on weekend mornings as a function of the food being so yummy. So be prepared to wait a little. It’s also halal, which is rare among non-vegetarian breakfast items. So that’s a huge plus.

Finding halal food in San Francisco is always a win, and Mama’s Luncheonette is an absolute gem, especially for the Marina/Cow Hollow area. This spot is popular for a reason – everything is fresh, and tastes fire.

The breakfast burrito with brisket and the lamb wrap are my go-tos. Both are packed with flavor and perfect for a hearty start to the day. The drinks are great too – their lemonade is perfect on a sunny afternoon.

I love the neighborhood too – it’s charming, safe, and filled with cute shops and cafes. Plus, it’s just a short walk from the water, making it perfect for a scenic stroll after your meal. If you’re ever in the Marina/Cow Hollow area, stopping by Mama’s is a must. It may be popping though, so there could be a bit of a wait, but the food and vibe make it totally worth it!

Edit: I just tried the mclovin its insane oh my god.

Food is delicious but make sure you check your order! Got all the way home before realizing they gave me the wrong thing. As I was waiting, I saw two people come back because their orders were wrong too.

Service was very good but the food was so small, bland, and small most likely will never come again

Extremely mid. Chicken Cesar wrap was badly-constructed, just ok flavors. Breakfast burrito was nothing special. “Fresh” juice was them literally pouring juice out of standard store-bought brand jugs. Overall feels like lower quality food.

The place felt like a scam that relies on smart menu curation (“chicken cesar wrap AND chicken tikka wrap?!”) and shaking Parmesan cheese on top to trick people into thinking it’s “aesthetic”and, in turn, good. Go to birite instead for much better food quality/price.

Solid breakfast burrito but Celeste is on par and has much better service and a shorter wait time. So worth going to if there isn’t a long line and it isn’t Sunday (Celeste only open on Sunday)

Absolutely unbelievable! So good. Best wrap I have had in the city, ever, and the fries are top notch, top 4 in SF.

I had the pleasure of trying the brisket sandwich twice and the chicken caesar wrap. They were both huge and very delicious! Would recommend to anyone wanting something clean and fresh! Their fresh juices and coffee are also wonderful. Next up for me is that breakfast burrito with the brisket. Eagerly awaiting them to open up in Mill Valley!

Flavor is good but please can you guys cut the brisket up into bit sizes pieces so you’re not pulling huge pieces of chewy brisket out of the burrito. Will be back to check out the other breakfast burrito.

We got the Chicken Caesar burrito and mushroom wrap - both were solid but not exceptional.

Queue looked long but was only a 10 minute wait to order and then 10 min wait for food.

Union Street with turkey bacon! One of the better breakfast burritos in the city with perfectly cooked eggs and crispy hashbrowns inside.
