Best falafel I've eaten since leaving the San Fernando Valley.  Not surprising, since the family that owns this place used to operate a falafel place there.

Probably the best food you'll ever get in a gas station.  They're quite nice, too.

Good sandwich spot in a gas station quickie mart? Yeah, it's true.

I'd seen the sign for Mommy's falafel a few times but was in a hurry to fill up and go. Today I made time to go in and I'm glad I did. The falafel was great. They served it soft taco style instead of stuffed inside the pita. I also ordered one of the pastrami sandwiches for my co-pilot and snuck a bite. It was a grease bomb but delicious.

Both sandwiches were kind of sloppy so I wouldn't recommend trying to eat them in the car. Overall a solid sandwich spot if your way out westside headed to the coast or fern ditch.

Eugene is not a great place to get pastrami sandwiches (or sandwiches at all, really), so it was nice to find this place. This place is tucked away in a gas station, far away from most of Eugene's restaurants. Mommy's pastrami sandwiches are amazing. The falafel is pretty good, but I'd go for the pastrami. They are really greasy, but that's part of their charm. Get all the toppings. You will leave full. You will leave with that greasy-feeling in your stomach, wondering if you need to run a few miles to appease the diet gods.  But you will leave happy if you like hot pastrami sandwiches. Give it a shot.
