Review


My husband and I were looking for a place that offered a relaxed, casual atmosphere with healthy dining options, and Mother’s Market consistently meets these criteria. It holds a special place in our hearts as it was one of my mom’s favorite spots to eat. Despite dealing with numerous medical issues and food allergies, she always felt safe at Mother’s Market. Many cherished memories of having lunch and hot tea with her here flood my mind whenever I visit here.

Lunchtime can get a bit crowded, but finding a table or booth is usually not a problem, given the many seating options. The dining area is small and cozy, yet you never feel uncomfortably close to others.

The menus are thoughtfully marked, indicating which items are gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and organic—something I greatly appreciate due to my many allergies. While I did have a few questions, the waitress was incredibly kind and took the time to research everything I needed. I felt completely at ease!

I opted for the Loaded Nachos with corn chips, black beans, cheese, and sour cream—all gluten-free. You can customize the dish to make it vegan. The nachos were generously portioned and served as a satisfying and hearty snack for my lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am considering adding chicken next time for a bit of variety. The dish comes with salsa and avocado, but I had them served on the side due to my allergies to avocados and tomatoes.

My husband ordered the Chilaquiles and described it as tasty. The dish featured corn tortillas, Chile and tomatillo sauce, two sunny-side-up eggs, feta cheese, sour cream, and cilantro. He also added my portion of avocado, which I can't eat, and it looked fantastic.

For beverages, my husband chose black tea, and I opted for water. The warm black tea was a perfect choice on the overcast, cool day.

The service staff is consistently kind and friendly, making each visit a nice experience for us.
