    Fantastic food, some really awesome food, and I eat a lot of tacos from many places. Lots of seniors dining here. They kill the vibe a bit but also make me feel younger in comparison.

    The food and drinks are simply outstanding. There’s a good variety of tacos and quite a bit of creativity infused in every food item, same goes for cocktails. In the past few times I’ve visited the restaurant, the servers were inattentive, but today was exceptional. Our female server was actively checking on us and made sure we had everything we needed.

    Masa Mama was an exciting night out, with excellent cocktails - especially the margaritas, and delicious food. We sat at the bar, so were able to have a comfortable conversation, but it is definitely on the louder side. We left very full, but very happy. We will be back for more Tamarind Margaritas and incredible tacos.

    The food was amazing! The music was quite loud for a restaurant. There was only one server working, so the service was a little slow and scattered. I would definitely go back.

    The larger fish taco was really unique and tasty, but the Birria was drier than others in the city, and no salsas by default sadly. Wasn’t a bad experience but just needs ironing out and a couple twists to the menu.

    Guacamole was good. Good drinks. Pastor tacos were dry with little flavour. Fried items- calamari & fish tacos were extremely greasy.

    Great food and service. One recommendation I would make is to have coat racks or hangers so people don’t have to sit on their expensive coats on their stool.
