Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Masa Mama is the "hottest new taco spot in Calgary," offering delicious and unique tacos with perfectly crafted margaritas. While some find the prices high, the vibrant atmosphere and "cool ambience" make it a must-try. The attentive staff and vegan options add to the appeal, though some service kinks remain.

    Enjoyed our first visit! Had a great Margarita and we loved the tacos we tried…El Pastor, Korean Fish with gojujang, Suadero… also great guac and chips as appetizer. We’ll be back to try the rest of the menu. Glad it’s in my neighbourhood!

    The service was subpar. Took 10 min before either person at the front door acknowledged us. Took a long time to get our table even with a reservation. The waitress was inattentive in general. Drinks sat empty, plates weren’t cleared. Food did come out fast, so there is that. I was really looking forward to a trendy Mexican place in Marda Loop but this missed the mark. Sadly none of the 4 of us will be back.

    I was SO excited to try this place out.. The food was disappointing, lacked flavour which was odd since the menu made it seemed like ever hunt was very thoughtfully made.. the service wasn’t great, wasn’t awful. The space was nicely curated I’m give them that

    The Korean fish taco was unreal, calamari sauce was delicious and overall food was just very good. The margaritas were not my favourite, I like a salted margarita and I didn’t like how the salt was glued to the glass. Seating is a bit awkward, no where to put my coat/bag but the overall atmosphere is cozy and stylish.

    3/5 seems harsh… I would give it more a 3.5/5…. Wasn’t quite a 4 but not as low as a 3. We were really excited to try this place! It was just good. The quesabirria was delicious. The chorizo con papas was nice but not my favourite. The others at the table tried the Baja and Korean fish taco and they preferred the Baja. We had the chips and salsa flight and while everything was tasty, the portion was quite small. The calamari was yummy! I’m glad we tried it but it wouldn’t be my go to for Mexican in YYC.

    Good food, good service. Did not feel like a Mexican ambiance, more modern.
