My absolute favorite spot in town for authentic Filipino food! Everything is cooked & made with love by the cutest kindest Filipino grandparents ever.
When I lived in the area (2017-2020) I would stop in at least once every week, some times twice or even 3 times. When the “quarenteen” happened they had to close the inner diner area and went to take out only through a side window. I moved mid 2020 and dont come by as often as I would like to. Honestly its been a year or 2 since my last visit.
As soon as I walked up to the window today “Ma” recognised me and asked how I had been. It was nice to catch up. It was also a bit sad to see that the inner dining area still wasnt open, but that home made food made my day so much better.

It was my first time there and it was really delicious hot and fresh. The Pancit, chicken adobo and chicken Kaldereta (I I had never had this) were absolutely delicious. I will definitely be going back, nice portion sizes as well.

Reasonable price and portion size, I ordered a bunch of random stuff, and i dont remember what everything was pictured. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with lumpia, some things i liked more than others. If you want to be adventurous, try this mom stop. They dont do dine-in only pick up. there’s only 3 parking spots. i hope the owners see this so they can add descriptions to the menu items i asked what do many things were lol

I’m not sure why I don’t visit Mama Lu’s more often. Could it be because it’s tucked away on St Johns Bluff, making it easy to overlook? Possibly. Is the parking situation a bit challenging? Definitely.
But let me tell you, the effort is absolutely worth it for some of the best Filipino cuisine in the city. I found myself swerving into Mama Lu’s cramped parking lot just for a quick bite. I ordered chicken adobo and dinuguan with white rice. The chicken adobo is insanely delicious. Their dinuguan, typically a savory stew made with pork offal, was made with chunks of pork instead, and the gravy was rich, thick, slightly sweet, and utterly delightful.
If you’re on the hunt for fantastic Filipino food, don’t hesitate to give Mama Lu’s a try.

Great food and very decent price. Very fresh. Only take aways at this location. And they are closed on Tuesdays.
We tried their house special fried rice and Bihon. Bihon was really superb. And good quantity.
Lumbia and Chicken wings were good too.

My favorite place to get Filipino chicken adobo. The lumpia and pancit are delicious as well. Call ahead and order for pick up. You can also select from the already prepared dishes and create a combo plate with two entrees and a side. Wonderful service, great prices, delicious Filipino food and definitely worth the trip for carryout. I’ll definitely be back with my family.

Take out only but the wait is brief. Best Halo Halo in the area with lots of toppings. Diniguan was very well seasoned too

Local Philippines restaurant. One woman operation. I have been trying to get lumpia here for over 2 months. She was always out. Finally got some yesterday. It was pretty good. She uses sweet and sour sauce. The pancit wasn’t very good. Plain. Can’t find any really good Philippines Food in Jacksonville. I would eat here again just to try other things in menu.

The customer service was very good. I tried the veggie pancit and veggie eggroll they were both good but my only suggestion would be a little more seasoning to it but I enjoy the freshness of my meal I would probably give them another try and I would recommend.
