Masa Mama has quickly become one of those Calgary spots that never disappoints. I’ve been multiple times now and every experience has been consistently great from the food to the service to the atmosphere.

10/10 across the board. The food, the service, and the vibe are all absolutely top tier. It’s quiet, cute, and has such a romantic atmosphere — perfect for date night.

Ordered the elote, guacamole, salsa sampler and the ceviche to start. Everything was delicious but the jalapeño salsa was especially amazing! Tried the shrimp, Korean and baja fish tacos and they were great! Light, flavourful, delicious food in a lovely space with excellent service. Will definitely be back!

We went on Valentine’s Day, so it was very busy. Regardless, the staff was great and the tacos were so good. Highly recommend the baja fish and Korean taco! The cocktails are also fantastic.

So delicious! We had the Quesabirrria - yum; rich and beefy. We also had the Ribeye Fajita - really good and fresh - the tortillas are so good. The Korean Fish Taco was yummy. Others had the Gringa, and they said it was delicious.

The menu and our selections did not disappoint! We really enjoyed the tuna starter along with the best calamari we’ve had in YYC! Each bite was a delight and presentation was outstanding. Don’t miss out on trying their Korean Fish Tacos and Tortillas Birria.
