    Masa is really just an everyday Mexican restaurant, albeit one in a nicely polished room with some splashy cocktails. At lunch you can get $2 tacos just like the ones served in authentic mercados. Read more

    Contemporary Mexican food from award-winning D'Amico family. A local hot-spot; margaritas to die for; oodles of fresh options; refined dining. Order any specials they feature!

    Tasty "New?" Mexican dished. Solid cocktails. Sunday night's date night special is not to be missed. 3 courses and a bottle of wine for fifty bucks!

    Entree was very nice too but unless you are allergic to sugar, you should try their desserts. Crepes con cajeta is delicious and churros is just indescribable!

    Great drinks--especially mescal margarita.. Chicken was well-prepared. Service great until large group came in. All the servers dropped everything to get that sorted. Overall though was very good.

    The 3 for $10 lunch special is a great sampling of menu options served quickly and goes great with the Ginger-Infused Limeade. If you are wearing dark pants, ask for black napkins--they are on-hand a

    Light lunch- The limeade infused with a Ginger = amazing, Mango Salad with grilled shrimp added = sublime. Also recommend the guacamole.

    3-for-$10 lunch special is a steal. Pork Torta, Tortilla Soup and Guac is the way to go.
