Sobre Masa

Great one of the best I had tried, fresh delicious all the flavors so well balanced The. Barbacoa so good The fresh tortillas everything from the appetizers to the dessert

By the time I post this review, the menu will have changed probably at least a few times over, because they're always experimenting with new ingredients and bold flavors. They are quietly revolutionizing Bushwick's food scene in ways that rival a lot of the city's most acclaimed restaurants. You may have never heard of Sobre Masa but you've likely savored their tortillas. At the core of their menu is heirloom corn and all its glorious varieties. They're passionate about educating their customers on the significance of corn and the impact on Mexican cuisine.On a technical level, their tortilla factory has mastered the art of nixtamalization, producing the most pliant, earthy and delicious tortillas you've ever seen. Their commitment to heirloom corn and care and uncompromising quality really shows in every bite. I chafe at places that charge extra for chili oil or hot sauce, but here I don't mind, because their salsa mache is so good. I wish they'd go back to selling these in jars, but they sounded pretty firm on not doing that anymore.While they do always add new things to the menu, you'll still find their stellar guacamole, creative tostadas, and flan on their menu. I just spotted their chicken liver tostado newly added to their menu, and now I feel called to return. The best part is that you can likely walk in without reservations, even on weekend nights.

Stumbled upon this place on a Saturday night, when you first enter the establishment it feels like a converted warehouse. It felt a bit off the beaten path, and the decor was lovely. The service was wonderful and attentive. We felt taken care of. The food was a solid 4/5 stars. Definitely a memorable meal, but the mocktails were overpriced, and the chicken and polenta dish was simply put...not good. The chicken tasted like boiled chicken, and I gave it to my partner to finish it because I couldn't. It was my first time trying Oaxacan polenta; I wasn't expecting the sweetness of it, but that was bearable.What was outstanding though, food wise, was the guacamole, cauliflower tacos, trout, and FLAN! Absolutely get the flan! Overall, worth trying, but in my opinion, overpriced.

The place has a casual feel to it. The service was outstanding. The food quality was great and everything was cooked perfectly. The empanada was pretty bland. The flan was incredible.

A friend and I came in for Sunday Brunch recently. The space is well decorated and feels welcoming. We were welcomed by one of the owners at our table, explaining their commitment to authentic flavors, celebration of rich heritage, and support to empowering farmers. We started off with the vanilla conchitas. Light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. For our entrees we had the chilaquiles with avocado. The chips were high quality and flavorful, while the toppings were spicy, creamy, and delicious. The Sala Macha that seems a combo of salsa and chili crisp to me, was absolutely killer. They sell it by the jar and I took one home with me!Definitely want to return and try their dinner menu!

Upon entering, we were struck by the decor; very cute and felt soothing. It was quite hot near the bar as we made our way to the back, but it cooled down once we were seated. The service was decent, though our waiter seemed a bit confused when we requested separate checks and receipts. Overall, the food was delicious and far better than the desserts. I'm curious if their menu changes often, as I'd like to try other items.

Sobre Masa is a bit out of the way but I've been meaning to visit this location since their original location closed by the Williamsburg bridge. I had the opportunity to dine here several times and each time has been amazing! You would think the first time was a fluke, so I came by again. From December to April, they updated the menu, which I value. To me, it means they're always experimenting with new ingredients and ideas. For my most recent visit, we splurged a bit since we were celebrating an anniversary. They have a lovely window ceiling that allows for natural light to fall through. In the evening, dim lights are lit up for ambiance. We ordered roasted oysters, mole alemandrado, arrachera skirt steak, chicken liver tostada, and the chocolate cake. Roasted oysters came out first and were delicious and smoky. Mole alemandrado itself was fantastic. The broccoli rabe was nicely charred. I wish this was more of an entre. Arrachera skirt steak was done medium rare, served with tortilla. As much as I loved the steak by itself, I didn't enjoy the pairing with the tortilla as much as I thought. Compared to my last visit, I had the chicken served with polenta, and that complimented each other well. Chicken liver tostada - we were still a bit hungry so we ordered this to top of our night. I was amazed by how smoothe the pate was. This only came as one piece. As for drinks, it was a combo of alcohol and non alcoholic drinks of the Toronja, Cocktail of the day, Chinampa, No es in daiquiri, and a shot of mezcal. We sat by the bar so we got to see all our drinks being made. We had an amazing bartender who did his magic in front of us. He was knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. Lastly, we concluded with Rika's chocolate cake, which wasn't over empowering but provided the deep chocolate flavor satisfaction you needed to end the night.

I just went to Sobre Masa for a group dinner. Right from the start, the vibe was a bit weird. Our reservation was for 7 people at 6:30 pm on a Sunday, but one of our friends was feeling under the weather and we didn't think she would be able to join. When we arrived 10 mins before our reservation, we let the host know it would actually be 6 of us. She gave a bit of an attitude about this but did seat us and we assumed it would be fine. After we had ordered drinks and food, the server mentioned that it was "family style" - which would have been nice to know before ordering, if true. We all got our own things for the most part except for the shared guacamole and salsas for the table. We probably should have ordered slightly more and planned to share things, but I'm not sure how feasible that would have been for our group with various dietary restrictions. However we would have appreciated the server's guidance in this regard, or even notes on the menu. Nothing actually seemed portioned or served as family style or even easily shareable.At this point, our 7th friend arrived (to our surprise also). This was about 30 mins into the reservation while we were still waiting on most of the food to come out. The host and our server both seemed exasperated. We were apologetic and asked if a seat could be added, as the restaurant was nearly empty besides us (1 4-top, 2 2-tops, and 1 at the bar) and there were plenty of seats. And of course our table had originally been set for 7 so we figured it wouldn't put them out terribly. They acted like it was a terrible inconvenience but did reluctantly give her a chair and a place setting. The guacamole, chips, and salsa were great. As well, we really enjoyed the cocktails and non alcoholic grapefruit cocktail. The huevos rancheros, milpa salad, shrimp dish, wings, trout, and chilaquiles were all tried by the group, and we enjoyed everything. Of course, the tortillas are very good and we got a few side orders (2 tortillas per order) for the table. Towards the end of the meal, one of my friends went to the restroom and overheard the staff speaking negatively about our table and our friend for coming late/ not ordering more (she only got an order of chips, which is admittedly weird, but the rest of our group more than made up for her with food and alcohol.)Overall, the staff was unfriendly and continually gave the impression that we were something of a burden. $350 later we were left hungry and uncomfortable with how the staff behaved. This might be a better choice for date night- the food and drinks are great and the interior is super cute. I wanted to love this place, but I wouldn't go back.

This place is located in the cut in Brooklyn. Back streets and hidden. Very cute and cozy inside. Dimly lit. Pleasurable ambiance. Our server Araseli was very knowledgeable of the menu. We just happened to stop in for happy hour which is from 5:30pm-7pm. There wasn't much of a variety of drinks to chose from on the happy hour menu. Some wine. One cocktail. And beer. We tried the cocktail. It was made with a in house fermented agave. It was just average. Totally not worth $12. The chips and guacamole was pretty good. First set of chips tasted a little stale. Second batch more fresh. We also had salsa on the side which when brought out was a little flight. They included:Salsas:White - garlic toum aioliGreen - tomatillo and SerranoRed - chili MorritaOrange - chili de árbol They all were delicious! My friend ordered some wings. They were hot and I didn't really care for them. Wouldn't order them again. However, I would like to come back for dinner at some point. They have some Interesting choices on the menu.

I found this place on the recent Eater's list and it sure did not disappoint. It's super convenient to get to if you live by the L train as it was on the same block as the Morgan L train station. I've never been in this neighborhood before. It's on the quieter and emptier side.We came on a Friday night at around 6:30pm and unintentionally but fortunately landed on happy hour. Happy hour included cheaper eats, but not drinks.The restaurant was decorated with art made by the owner. Apparently a lot of the material was from Mexico! We really liked the guacamole and the house salsas. The whipped garlic was good on everything. The queso was interesting in a light tomato sauce. The wings were ok, doused in a mole sauce. I didn't think the wings were anything to write home about. We shared the skirt steak which was perfectly cooked and seasoned with grilled leeks and onions and fresh cilantro. We were so full but still wanted to try the tres leche.The ambiance was so nice. I appreciated that it wasn't too loud or busy. And given how well the food was done, I would definitely come again to try the other options on the menu.
