Mama’s Kitchen

This small trailer is a great place to come and experience Austin at it’s best. They have a wide variety of menu items from bbq to seafood to a vegetarian side of the menu. They changed locations so they aren’t located at S. Congress anymore. Now they’ve set up shop at East 12^th St. about 6.5 blocks from the Interstate and about a block before Chicon St. The first time I had a Texas Cheesesteak, I was hooked. Never again will I try the small Philly. If you haven’t tried this little piece of goodness in the heart of Texas, then you should go now!

They are gone folks… Spartan Pizza took their place. I will so miss my Texas Cheese Steak! I’m giving them 5 stars ’cause it really doesn’t matter now does it.

This cute little trailer caught my eye yesterday. So, I logged into Unilocal to see what Unilocalers had to say about. What no reviews for this cute trailer right next to the popular Red Shed Tavern? So, today I decided to do some investigative reporting. I headed over on my lunch hour and overwhelmed the poor woman at the counter with a ton of questions.
So, I have to report that Mama’s Kitchen is a cute red, white and blue trailer with Mama’s Kitchen Home Of The Texas Cheese Steak hand painted on the side. They serve a variety of Texas-​style food. Starting at 6AM — 11AM they serve a huge variety of breakfast tacos priced 1.25−2.00 including an egg and brisket that sounds interesting. Until 2PM they serve lunch then reopen at 4PM and serve food till 12/​1AM depending on how busy they are — apparently they get a lot of business from The Red Shed. Forgot to ask if they serve breakfast all day; but, the other food they serve includes brisket, veggie burgers and their «famous» cheese steaks. You can call in your order and I highly suggest it if you are in a hurry or have a short lunch break.
I decided on a brisket sandwich and was really impressed — the meat was very juicy and flavorful (meaning I doubt it was very lean — I was afraid to open up my bun and look) the sauce was good and the bun was warm and yeasty. For 3.99 my sandwich was a great deal — lots of meat to bun ratio. Next time I plan on going for an early lunch to try some of their cheap breakfast tacos.
They have seating outside that is dog friendly or after 4PM you can take your food next door to The Red Shed and have a beer.
