    Catfish meal and 3 piece white meat meal
    Monique J.

    Food was so delicious ! I was shocked because I'm usually very picky when it comes to soul food but the chicken was crispy and seasoned perfectly. I love that they use elbow noodles for the Mac and cheese. Had great favor. Red beans and rice was so bomb and we loved everything else we ordered. The location was playing oldies when we arrived to pick up our food, made us want to stay and enjoy the vibes. Only thing I'd say to improve on is the cashier. She was rude. Not sure if she was having a bad day but she definitely rolled her eyes a few times and just gave off a very unwelcoming impression. Other than that, we are sold on the food

    chicken wings and waffles
    Flora H.

    The "Not Your Mamas Kitchen" food truck came to my office today, and it's definitely not MY Mama's kitchen, I can say that much. For $13 I got fried chicken and waffles. Note that the chicken is just wings and drumsticks (no breast or thigh) which wasn't what I was expecting, but worked out just fine. They have a couple of different options for sauces - "lemon pepper" or "hot honey" - and I went for the hot honey and kind of wish that I had done it dry. Not that the hot sauce wasn't good, but the fried chicken itself was so good that it didn't really need an extra sauce and I found the sauce to be distracting. The waffles were definitely too fried and greasy for me, crispy and not fluffy at all, so next time I'd probably opt for a side instead. But, all in all, definitely a fan!

    Party Wings w/Yans $12

    I've visited this truck a few times when they are in DTLA. I've ordered the fish & chicken wings. The fish uses more of a corn meal coating than a batter. It was seasoned well and tasted good. I've also ordered the chicken wings, but I made the mistake of getting it sauced up with a honey hot sauce. I was not a big fan of this. The honey with Rooster hot sauce does not go well together IMO. It was a little too tangy for me. It would have been better with tabasco. The chicken was crispy and tasted like it was cooked in lard. Next time, I'll just get them plain or maybe lemon pepper. Their rice & gravy is a little bland, so keep some salt close by. The yams was good and not too sweet. Just keep in mind that they fry everything to order, so it could be a long wait when busy. I wished they had an app where I could order before hand to do a pickup.

    Catfish, Red beans & Rice, Mac n Cheese
    Sophia L.

    3.5 stars - Let me start by saying the catfish was one of the best I've tasted, light, crispy and flavorful. The Redbeans were tasty too, just a tad bit dry for my taste. Huge disappointment with the Mac n cheese, it tasted bland like krafts. Very surprised that 2 items can be so good and a big fail on the Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese is just as important as the potato salad for black people. Those two just have to be on point lol. I will definitely be back for the catfish

    Turkey chop with mac n cheese and yams $15
    Michelle B.

    Not bad but not fantastic Turkey chop perfectly cooked should have used a bit more seasoning. Yams perfect mac and cheese disappointed they were tasteless. I wanted to love it.

    This restaurant is well known for its Southern Soul Food cooking. The menu changes often, but you can be sure to get a very fresh and tasty soul food meal. Not Yo Mama's Restaurant southern style home cooking taste just like Yo Mama's Sunday dinner. Not Yo Mama's offers it all so be sure to unbuckle you top pants button before sitting down at the table. The turkey chops and fish are delicious, as well as the home style southern side dishes. On any given day you'll find this restaurant packed with locals and visitors alike.

    I ordered the Fried Chicken lunch with dark meat with a side of greens and macaroni and cheese. The girl at the front was very nice and helped us order. The food is bomb dot com. Nothing was too fatty or salty, perfect seasoning. I'll be back for sure.

    Great food and prices support an honest business. Customer service is excellent! Family owned with food made from scratch. No where can you go and get fish or chicken without having a grease feast here you can!

    The food was great. Our service was fast and EXTREMELY friendly. I like the menu..it's short and straight to the point. The mac n cheese was amazing. Everything was made to order. Free drink refills. Good cornbread as a complementary appetizer. Nautica was our server, she was such a doll.

    Still dreaming of their wings!!! Support blacked owned businesses!!
    Summer J.

    Five stars!! Once you walk in you are immediately presented with Black love and black pride! As it should be! Very welcoming and at home, the lemonade took me back to a time in my childhood that I miss and the batter on the chicken is a mixture all their own!! We're still dreaming of the wings!!! We got the lemon pepper and honey hot!! They did NOT disappoint!! Can't wait for our next visit! #supportblackowned #buybrown #unity

    I read through the reviews here and both the 1-star and 5-star reviews are correct to me. So let's…read morego through the top good things and too bad things. The good: The churro flavors are unique and coated in delicious sweet sauces of your choice. I tried the Nutella almond coating and they were pretty generous with the flavoring, I left very satisfied with the churro itself. It was made fresh to order. The ambiance is pretty cute, they put in effort to make the area feel safe, especially since sometimes the place they post out is in a dark alley behind a warehouse in the middle of nowhere. The service is good and friendly, I read many reviews saying otherwise so perhaps this isn't true all the time, but it was the one time we went. The eh: The wait time complaints did ring true to me, we got there at 9 pm and there was no line in front of us, it still took them about 15 minutes to get us our mini churro and ice cream. However, it's a food truck, this kind of wait time is expected and I did get a fresh and hot churro so it wasn't for nothing. If you want something fast, you probably shouldn't go to a food truck. The prices also leave something to be desired, $10 for a small ice cream and a 5 inch churro is pretty high. Again, however, I allow that because it's a food truck prices will be higher. I can't find any place near this area that does better churros, so I'm willing to pay the extra once in a while for a better experience. My girlfriend loved that it's a "speakeasy", meaning you have to join their exclusive instagram club to get "drops" on where they'll be that night. I see many complaints about them not being at a location and suspect this is why. I personally don't like this (I'm lazy), but since my girlfriend does, I call it a wash. The bad: The ice cream isn't worth it. If I ever come back here, I'd rather bring my own ice cream, even if I look like a crazy man clutching my tub of breyers sitting around on a street. Their ice cream is either vanilla or cookies and cream, and it's a piddly amount with no toppings. Just skip it, there are plenty of great ice cream places, you're here for the churro. It'll save you a few dollars probably. The area (at least when we visited) leaves a lot to be desired as I hinted at earlier. It was in a parking lot in a dead business center with fences, the entrance to the parking lot was a narrow alley 2 minutes away from the truck itself. The only reason I was able and willing to find that entrance was because the truck (probably knowing it's hard to find) was posted very visibly against a fence with welcoming fairy lights, so I took a little extra time looking for the entrance. I hope they can find a better location to post up at. In the end, I may come back only because they do make good churros, but I think it's more because they lack good competition than anything else. Perhaps I haven't looked hard enough for an alternative.

    Website states they are open 10pm on Saturday. Yelp states they are open till 12:30. Yet we drove…read more30min it's 11:30 and they are no where to be found. Please update your hours or if this business is even open?

While we were there, we learned that they will be closing down soon. Their last day is 6/28/2026. If you love chicken, come give them a try before they close down. The great thing about this place is they have over 30 different flavors to choose from. We ordered the: - Saigon 22 Herbs & Spices Wings and Chicken Tenders Combo - Tandoori Flavor Wings and Chicken Tenders Combo - Cajun and Jamaican Jerk Flavored Wings All the Combos came with one side and a drink. Didn't have to wait long before the friendly owner brought out our foods. Service was quick and the restaurant is nice and clean. Wow, the wings and tenders are bigger than most chicken places we've been to. All the four flavors we tried were very tasty. The portions were so big, we ended up taking the rest of them home. Overall, we enjoyed eating here. It is just unfortunate that they will be closing at the end of the month.
