Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Masa Mama is the "hottest new taco spot in Calgary," offering delicious and unique tacos with perfectly crafted margaritas. While some find the prices high, the vibrant atmosphere and "cool ambience" make it a must-try. The attentive staff and vegan options add to the appeal, though some service kinks remain.

    The food was amazing! The music was quite loud for a restaurant. There was only one server working, so the service was a little slow and scattered. I would definitely go back.

    Unique and tasty variety of tacos, appetizers and cocktails. Attentive service. Modern location. Decent prices. Great value especially for a last minute booking on New Year’s Eve!

    The larger fish taco was really unique and tasty, but the Birria was drier than others in the city, and no salsas by default sadly. Wasn’t a bad experience but just needs ironing out and a couple twists to the menu.

    Guacamole was good. Good drinks. Pastor tacos were dry with little flavour. Fried items- calamari & fish tacos were extremely greasy.

    Great food and service. One recommendation I would make is to have coat racks or hangers so people don’t have to sit on their expensive coats on their stool.

    The room has a nice vibe, the Masa Guac and Korean Fish Taco were fantastic and the salsas were good. However, the margaritas were tasteless, the pork in the Al Pastor was dry and chewy and the beef in the Birria Taco lacked flavour. The restaurant enforces a rigid time limit for diners but the servers and kitchen haven’t been trained how to properly and politely manage that limit. After finally receiving our dessert after a long wait, our server dumped the charge machine on our table and walked away while we were still eating. It would be much kinder to customers if they were informed in advance that their table would be needed shortly. And in that case the kitchen should prioritize the orders for those tables to give diners time to finish their meals. Instead, we were rushed out the door in a way that felt very rude and frankly ruined the entire evening.

    Did not disappoint! Best tacos - unique flavours. Salsa sampler and cocktails also really good. Great service and welcoming atmosphere. Tiny venue which could be uncomfortable for some but also adds to the vibe.
