Mama’s Hawaiian BBQ opens 4th location on E. Tanque Verde

Mamaslogo

Aloha! Just met owner/restaurateur Sam Alboy who has now opened up his 4th Mama’s Hawaiian BBQ, at 6310 E. Tanque Verde (at the intersection of Wilmot Rd., Pima Rd. and Tanque Verde, north of Speedway Blvd.).

They all serve the same  delicious  (“ono” in Hawaiian) meals such as their Big Kahuna (beef teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, and kalua pork with 2 sides), and their Korean kalbi short ribs (my favorite by far).  Their sides are white or brown rice, mac salad, house salad, french fries, mixed veggies, or desserts.

In Hawaii we eat till we are “tired”, and you can do that at Mama’s, as the portions are generous.
