Mas Taco Bar — Restaurant in Sacramento

Amazing food experience. They have a creative take on Asian-Latino fusion. Their dishes in general are very well thought out, with nicely balanced flavors, and good execution.

Their tacos are creative and adventurous. Our favorites for the night are the pork belly, braised beef, banh mi. Their Korean chicken was tasty but I think missed the mark a little on what Korean fried chicken is. I think they need to revisit the fried chicken recipe and sauce flavor. Their butter chicken tasted like butter chicken no doubt about it. But It didn't stand out as amazing. It's just butter chicken lol.

Their Birria Ramen was off the hook! In this case the well flavor Birria makes or breaks the entire dish. This one was very well seasoned and balanced. I initially though it was a little salty. But when eaten with the ramen the dish balances out fantastically.

Guacamole is a nice appetizer and pallet cleanser. Guac is fresh, creamy, and again nicely balanced. Not to much acid or salt. The grated cheese also compliments the guac nicely.

Drinks!!! 🍹🍹🍸🍸 Drinks are amazing. Dragon berry mojito was light and refreshing. Guava peach margarita was the winner of the night. Guava and peach showcases the alcohol and not overpowering it. They use sugar on the rim which I think doesn't really do a whole lot for the drink. It's just extra sweetness. I think they could of chosen something that enhances or compliments the drink.

Service was good. Our first server was replaced and get replacement greeted our table promptly. She was helpful, attentive, and had great recommendations. At the end she got busy with a giant table. We were left waiting for about 10 minutes as they were being checked out. That's understandable I understand how hard being a server is.

We'll definitely be back to try more...

Don’t let the name fool you. It’s not just tacos. It should be called Mas Que Tacos (more than tacos). DO NOT sleep on Mas’ brunch menu. It is so well thought out and executed. I literally CAN...And WILL, even.

These are the things I’ve tried for brunch:

Blue corn pancakes with cashew syrup. YES. Think about it. It’s all this flavor and texture you never knew you needed.

Soft corn polenta with over easy eggs and braised short ribs. Dude. This polenta is so creamy and delicious. I don’t even LIKE polenta. I’ve never liked polenta. I don’t even like corn and it’s got a cameo in the polenta. I’m not going to talk about how yummy the braised shortribs are.

Chillaquiles...actually very traditional take on chillaquiles with clean flavor and texture. I never order chillaquiles because everyone does it different and it can go really wrong if you let it. But it’s right at Mas.

Breakfast Papusa. Sigh.....so good. I wanted to order it again last round but everything I’ve had is so good....I need to try something new every time.

Mas-chelada. Look. I’m a Michelada connoisseur. I know when I need to ask for more spice or lime. And I just don’t have to ask here. It’s really, really good. Like..I’d come here just for a Chelada and chips and guacamole and would be completely fine.

Side note: guacamole, chips, salsa. Lots of flavor and really fresh. The chips are whole tostada shells. For whatever reason....if it freaks you out to see chips in their original form....but you’ll eat a chicken nugget, where are your priorities in life?

Service: always attentive. Everyone seems to check on you. Servers, food runners, management. Shout-out to Ashley. ...

Mas Taco Bar delivers fusion-forward nibbles along Sacramento’s historic R Street corridor—and it does not play by the rules.

It’s complicated. Don’t let the word “taco” in the name fool you. Sure, Mas Taco will scratch that Mexican food itch, but they also sling creations inspired by everything from banh mi to butter chicken. Taco passport, anyone? ✈️🌮

From traditional starters to street food faves like grilled corn, to “burrito” bowls (the word burrito is on silent mode), to churro waffles—yes, churro waffles—Mas Taco’s got you covered from breakfast to dinner.

The Potato Taco? A hearty taco , loaded with avo, roasted poblanos, fresno garlic oil, and all the cilantro. And while I’m not usually a fake meat kinda vegetarian, the Impossible Asada? Plant-based perfection. I’d swipe right again and again. 💚

The tacos can run a bit on the small side for $4 but they are delicious and worth it.

Their drink menu? Always serving. But real talk—no margarita pitchers? A true crime. The Margaritas Gigantes try their best to compensate, but it’s just not the same. #sorrynotsorry

Service is friendly and chill, but when it gets busy (and it will), expect a little delay. With neighbors like Ace of Spades, timing your visit is key. The vibe is vibrant, modern, and built for groups—inside or out. Parking, however? A mild nightmare. Bring patience, coins, or a rideshare app.

How I break down my ⭐️ reviews: 1 - Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. 🗑️ 2 - Meh. Maybe if I’m close, and high. 😬 3 - Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. 🤷‍♀️ 4 - Hella solid. Planning my next visit. 😋 5 - Shut up! Take my money....
