Mother's is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Austin. It has been around a long time, and for a very good reason.
You cannot argue with the quality of food they serve. I'm a meat-eater myself, but when I eat here, there is nothing lacking in substance and flavor. The lasagna is superb...try finding a recipe for lasagna that has pecans in it! Not out there, I looked!
The first course, a salad dressed with cashews and a talamari/soy sauce viniagrette is perfect.
Barbecued tofu is another gem. However, I can only comment on the dishes that I have tried. I understand they have vegan desserts, which can be important on a special day like a birthday, for example. Ambiance is great, and service is personal and prompt.
