Masa | Mexican Street Food — Restaurant in Farmington

MASA used to be great when they first opened. We'd been here a lot, but not lately (not since the ownership change) and boy were we disappointed in the changes. We spent $98 last night to feed our family of 7 and threw away over half of the food. The food either had zero flavor at all or was so salty that it burnt your tongue when you tried to eat it.

They completely forgot our two orders of mexican rice, so we can't comment on those. Before we start, the pork tacos and quesadillas used to be a hot item here for our family - super flavorful... not today.

Steak nachos - queso was good, the steak was like beef jerky (way overcooked)

Pork quesadilla - made it's way to the garbage. Meat too salty to eat. The only flavor was salt and spicy.

Soy al pastor tacos - couldn't tell you because even though we ordered them, they said they didn't have soy (not sure if this was just that day or at all anymore) but these became pork tacos because we thought that was a safe option for our family...

Pork tacos - filled with meat, hardly any toppings. Meat again too salty to eat. All four of these got tossed after a couple bites of one.

Bean tacos - again, too much salt. The beans looked completely dried out and old. Went to the trash.

Mushroom taco - this was "new"-ish here so we decided to try it. It was literally just sliced burnt mushrooms in a soft taco shell. No seasoning at all.

Chips and salsa - these were the only thing not super changed.

Cheese quesadillas - no complaints from the kids... so they must have been at least alright.

All that to say... we completely wasted our money coming here and won't be back. Wish they were still owned by the Azar brothers because the food used to be SO much better. It has definitely gone down hill since the...

I have tried Masa twice now and have had bad experiences both times. The first time, I decided to try them when they had a BOGO burrito deal. I got 2 California burritos with beans and added white onions and salsa verde. The beans were SO salty and awful tasting that I couldn't even take more than a couple bites. The onions and salsa were nowhere in sight (paid extra for them), and I literally ended up just trying to eat the tortilla of one because I was hungry and had spent money on it. I went again today (Cinco de Mayo) and figured it would be busy, so I did an online order for just a to-go frozen margarita. I got there and there was a long line with no separate line for online orders. So I waited in this line just to get told that all the frozen margarita machines weren't ready. I replaced my margarita with a MASA lemonada - which was cheaper, but no refund of the difference was offered - and proceeded to wait almost 30 minutes for my drink to get made. After watching one round of drinks get made, and another drink order was taken, I finally asked where mine was. Eventually I got it, but from getting there to receiving the drink it was almost 45 minutes. Even more unfortunate, I got home and the drink was absolutely disgusting. 0/10 do not recommend and I will not be giving...

Their food keeps you coming back. ●■●■●■●■●■●■●■●■●■●■●■● 🥛 Agua de Jamaica: I soon learned this "Jamaican flower tea" is strong-brewed Hibiscus with a deep red-purple. 🥛 Auga de Horchata: A very sweet, milky, cinnamon drink served cold. Perfect for a sweet-tooth! I would love a hot version for the colder months.. 🌮 Tacos: small, fits-in-the-hand style, very flavorful no matter which protein choice. 🌮 Tostada: If you want something crunchy, pick the tostada! It works likes it's own plate, and the cheese they have is delicious! 🌮 Ceviche: It may have been an off day, but the fish did not taste fresh, unfortunately. 🌮 Mexican Steet Corn: My only other complaint is the taste of the mexican street corn. It has a strong taste, which is a plus! But the corn texture suggests it was overcooked/sitting out for too long. 🌮 On another note, the guac and beans are savory! ●■●■●■●■●■●■●■●■●■●■●■● Overall, most of the food at Masa is perfect. For the usual tacos and tostadas that Mexican food serves, it's wonderful! There is only some work needed on their ceviche really. Will be back again some...
