Mas Cafe — Restaurant in Seattle

Since covid era, I’ve been riding my bike on 34th St to avoid the crowded parts of Burke Gilman. And so I saw this cafe for the first time recently! I moved here from Phoenix so I’m always happy to see more latino-owned businesses. I was even happier to learn they have breakfast burritos and street tacos.

The space is cozy and cute. I love the tiny bar seating on the side patio. Would be very romantic if not for the active construction zone :/.

I stepped in and ordered a cortado and a bacon breakfast burrito. The prices are very reasonable! The coffee drink was very quick. I would say perfectly adequate espresso drinks. About on par with starbucks, which is to say, perfectly fine for something that is not a specialty coffee shop.

The breakfast burrito also came quickly! (I saw some women who were waiting a while for what must have been a more labor intensive order).

Ok now the important, 5-star part of the review. This breakfast burrito was essentially perfect. The ideal proportion of ingredients. The tortilla was delightfully flaky but not fragile. The pico de gallo tasted fresh and excellent. The bacon, crispy and bite size. Mixture of salsa and eggs kept it wonderfully moist. The red potatoes were a nice touch, and just enough to add texture but not act as an artificial filler (you know what i’m talking about). This burrito was the ideal size! I don’t want a breakfast burrito to decimate my appetite for the rest of the day.

I know the construction is a nuisance. it’s still worth your while to make your way over to Mas Cafe for a breakfast burrito. I’ll make a point to try the street tacos and quesadillas soon!

Update: 02/2021

Went and got 4 tacos. Al pastor and carne asada.

gotta say, they are pretty great. and inexpensive. at least as good as any other seattle street tacos I’ve had!...

called on the phone to cancel an order because no quote time was given when i ordered the food- which usually means it will be made asap, not in 20-30 minutes like it quoted AFTER i placed the order- i was told my order did not show up and i couldn't cancel it. i called again 5 minutes later to cancel again because the order updated to "food is being prepared" and suddenly my food is made and i can no longer cancel the order i was told was not put in, 5 minutes ago.

my food did not update to ready for pick up till over 10 minutes later, which made me think they were lying about the food being made already. i was told i would have to contact doordash since the food was already made if i wanted a refund.

i did not order through doordash, and did not have their customer support on hand, even if i did, they don't do refunds once the food is made. the food that should have never gotten made in the first place since i called before the order even came in apparently, and for some reason they cant make a note to cancel it when it did show up in their system like i had requested. so instead of canceling they magically had it too far made to cancel within 5 minutes of me calling back, but not ready to be picked up till over 10 later.

First off, this place has the BEST breakfast sandwiches I've ever had in my life. I have traveled around Europe and the US, and this place really hits my taste buds in the most perfect way.

Really great quality ingredients, homemade "red sauce" which is a delicious tomato based reduction sauce. It just adds the most amazing deep flavor. Carmelized onions, egg, crispy bacon, cilantro, cheese, softly toasted bread.... My lordy. They have so many options for breakfast, lunch, pressed juice, and coffee at an affordable price. I can't wait to come back and try more. I'll be dreaming of this sandwich.

In addition to the quality of food, I was delivered wonderful and joyful customer service as soon as I walked in! She made me feel welcome, and like she actually wanted me to be there. As I waited for my items to be made, she greeted the following customers BY NAME! Such a sweet little greeter.

My coffee was amazing, not too sweet like other places I've been to in the area. It seems like they focus on the coffee being the main event, it's the tasting focal point, with the other flavors and milk being the complimentary background. (In a good way)😊

Thank you for the great food and drinks!! This is definitely being saved as...
