    Can’t beat the happy hour pricing and tacos are great. Service awesome. Get a good local beer on tap, and offer happy hour prices on it as well and I would be even happier.

    We went for lunch so it was quieter than it would be later. We had the quesabirra, guacamole and chips, and the elote corn. It was all very tasty and delicious! Our server was excellent. I can recommend Masa Mama.

    We dine here sporadically as it's a local joint Lucky for us, it is also the best damn taco joint in the city. Steps from my front door I can acquire the best in fusion taco fare. The Korean fish taco is a winner and the chef's special is ALWAYS worth trying. The chicken tinga and pork chicharron are amazing. If you aren't worried about enjoying your food too much. Good luck. Get out there and eat some good food.
