Masa Mexican Grill

So. Good. I was tired and not looking forward to cooking so I pulled up Masa's website and ordered the quesabirria, which was recommended on a review I read recently, with an assortment of their salsas because I could (you can pick up to 4; I think there are at least that many more for me to try next time.) 15 minutes later I was walking out of the East Market with dinner (and at least a couple of lunches) in hand.The birria is basically a soup (my first time ordering it, okay? I wasn't sure what to expect) with big chunks of tender beef. The only spice/herb I'm sure of was bay leaf, because I had to fish one out . Whatever else is in there, it was marvelous.The quesadilla uses house made tortillas that are out of this world. Slightly crispy, full of gooey cheese, and topped with pickled red onions, diced white onions, and cilantro. All I can say is YUM.The salsas I got were the green (tangy, mild, excellent), salsa llegal (hotter than the green but still pretty mild -- I have no idea what's in there but it's delicious), chingon (dark, spicy... Oily? Not sure if I liked that one), and more pickled onions, which just made the dish. Absolutely what I needed after a long, rainy day.

First off this pace makes the BEST Guacamole I have tasted in a really long time! 10/10 highly recommend! But my compliments to the chef! Food is absolutely delicious and super fresh ingredients used every time. This is about my third time ordering from this place and am never disappointed! I just had to come in and share my review! Yum Yum YUM!

Our daughter has Celiac and this is a gluten-friendly restaurant. The owners are super nice and the food is incredible. We enjoyed the Tamales, Birria Tacos, steak tacos and chicken enchiladas. Everything was outstanding. Definitely will come back again.

The food was amazing! We had the tacos--two Barbacoa and one chorizo--and they were very good. They provided us with two hot sauces, which were delicious. We also enjoyed the hangover soup, which was fantastic. The staff were very kind and came to check on us to ask how our meal was; that was very thoughtful. East Market has a cozy atmosphere, with seating options upstairs that include an arcade. Everything was beautifully decorated for the holidays. East Market is the place to be, and you absolutely have to check out MASA!

Such a cute little shop inside of East Market! The customer service was great and the food has an authentic taste to it. I got the barbacoa tacos and they were very meaty and the tortillas were freshly made. After I placed my order, the worker gave me a buzzer to let me know when it was ready but I waited nearby and started talking to him. He was very nice and friendly. The salsas don't have a description on the menu so I asked him about a few of them and he started sharing his story and even told me the recipes they use are generational; he uses his grandmother's recipes!

Amazing tacos. We got the tacos birrias and they were delicious and fresh. They were making fresh tortillas as we stood there. The horchata was also wonderful. My only complaint is the consume could've been a bit spicier and was a little oily. Otherwise, lovely. Very friendly service.

The first bite made me speak fluent Spanish for 5 minutes. The tacos are authentic. I thought I was in southern Mexico. When I finished somehow the food made me sing the Mexico anthem. The flavor of the corn was all over southern Mexico. The green tortilla was very good. The white tastes just like hot water corn bread. Loved it. My suggestion is to get one of each or two of each. Also they have 12 different salsas. The Rico suave is great and the smokey is awesome. The chicken was my favorite however the steak was a close second. Please talk to the owner and he will explain everything to you. All the tortillas are made by hand and are corn only no flour. Also try the rice water and you can thank me later. You can eat at the bar in the bar ambiance.

Quickie pickup of our favorite Salsa Chingón. Another fave, Esquites, was around too, so we got a couple. Best street corn in the city.

Food - I got the barria tacos (traditional)...I have never had Thai dish anywhere so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was a very linear taste. That dish was a flop for me as it was very flat and lacked the complexity I thought it should have ‍. Service - great! The positive portion of my review is based off the service. The gentleman that helped me was very informative, patient and friendly! Overall, I will definitely go back and try another dish. Update soon!

I've been to Masa Mexican Grill several times and every single time is it AMAZING. The ingredients are top quality and so fresh. The salsas are the best I've ever had! Each one is unique and so flavorful! I had the Rice bowl this time and it is a hearty bowl of goodness, filled with love. If you haven't been, go to Masa Mexican Grill in the East Market right.now.
