Really unfortunate meal - just a sloppy, bizarrely seasoned mess. Lovely server, cool ambience and gorgeous decor. Really disappointing food.

The staff was very nice and the space is cute though tight. I’ve seen and heard a lot of hype around this place online but to be honest I was underwhelmed. The tuna was my favourite out of everything ordered - nice flavour and placed well. The scallop ceviche was average to me (didn’t have the most flavour compared to other ceviches I’ve had) and the sesame cracker was wayyyy too hard - felt like I was going to chip a tooth. The fish taco on the corn tortilla fell apart immediately when picked up (it was the first taco eaten) - ended up fork and knife-ing it. The soft shell taco tasted a little greasy to me, and the shrimp taco was just fine. Overall I would describe my experience as mid.

Masa Mama is the hottest new taco spot in Calgary, hands down. Great experience. Service was on point, the space is really cool and the food & beverage stole the show. It’s a must try, and I’ll definitely be back.

The food overall was OK. Masa Guac really over priced for portion size and taste (bland needed some spice). Really enjoyed eggplant taco. Tofu & pastor tacos nothing special. Wine by the glass over priced…$15 for 3-4 oz. Grilled romaine salad a bit over dressed but do recommend. Service was good

The guacamole with salsa macha and tacos were excellent, especially the tortillas (duck fat flour tortillas & corn both incredibly flavorful). I’d return to try more of those. My friend & I shared the churros for dessert and were a bit disappointed by how thin & crunchy they were. That said, the server took it off the bill, which was appreciated. The restaurant is small but it’s a great atmosphere with an organized, calm team in the mostly open kitchen.

Con mi Taco was our fave spot so we are so happy to have Masa Mama giving us those great tacos again. All of the tacos we had were delicious.
