Mama’s Hero’s

I got the «I’m on a diet» hero. Let me tell you. What a kick ass sandwich! The sandwich was hearty, tasty and perfectly seasoned. The bread is nice and fluffy and I totally had a hard time finishing just the half because it was stacked!
The service is friendly, the guys are awesome. Hopefully they will be outside of the citi building every Friday…

The guy who prepared my sandwich asked for a Unilocal review, good or bad. He was friendly and courteous and informed me that all he had left was pastrami and tuna. Not unusual for a cart to run low on inventory, as I was ordering towards the tail end of the lunch rush, but it also generally is a good sign.
Unfortunately, the pastrami sandwich I ordered was very disappointing. For starters, it was about 50% stale, untoasted bread, 25% pickles, and 10% raw onions. I’m also fairly certain that the pastrami was Boar’s Head, sliced paper thin, which essentially meant that I paid $ 10 for a sandwich I could’ve gotten for half that at any bodega. There’s nothing special about the sandwich, especially considering it was parked right next to a truck that was serving thick-​cut and non-​vacuum sealed pastrami at nearly the same price point. Was the sandwich edible? Yes. Was the staff pleasant? Yes. That’s why they’re getting two stars instead of one.

Had a great veggie sub today. Nice bread, fresh ingredients, craveable special sauce. Friendly service too. I lucked out because there was no wait – they were on Varick and King (or thereabouts). Would absolutely go back. Nom.

I’ve had the off-​menu vegetarian sandwich twice from here when the truck has been parked at FiDi and it’s really delicious. It’s hard to get a veggie sandwich that tastes a little different, substantive, and made with love, and this one is. The staff is friendly and still growing their business, too, so it’s great to support them. They were pretty quick, too, so it’s perfect for a I-​only-​have-​15-​minutes lunchbreak. Affordable, delicious, friendly, and a little different… I’ll keep going back!

Sandwich was good, reasonable — I would go back.
Wait was not long at all for my sandwich.

This truck should be renamed Mama’s ZERO’s!!! This is absolutely the worst sandwich I’ve ever paid for! My coworkers and I were looking for a delicious lunch after a long morning at work (the truck was in FiDi). Not only did we wait FOREVER for the sandwiches, my sandwich didn’t have anything that I asked for!!! I got the Mama’s Steak, and I asked to add their special sauce and jalapeño peppers, which the friendly order taker said it’s not a problem! And then guess what? I didn’t get the special sauce and the jalapeño peppers! The «steak» was super dry with very little flavor, the cheese was little to none, and the onions were RAW! Don’t put cooked onions in the description when you are going to just chop up some white onions and mix it with green peppers! AND PLEASE! It’s a freaking sandwich! It should not take more than 5 minutes to assemble one!
Negative 5 five stars!

This is a review for the Steak Cutlet on Ciabatta.
The steak was inedible (chewy as hell, couldn’t even bite into it). It was like biting into the rubber sole of a shoe.
The cheese was not melted (sandwich was cold).
The bread was stale.
This was a cold, dirty, ugly brick that I had one or two bites of before throwing out in disgust. Fortunately it was only $ 7.

We had the mamas steak and it was awesome. Soft bread and the steak was delicious. They are in fidi on Wednesdays and the menu is pretty decent.
