But the real shocker was the $5 mexican glass bottle coke.
Thats outrageous, no other place I have been to charges that much. $4 would already be a lot to pay for it. My nearby convenience store sells them for $2.99. The most they should be charging for it is $3.50 which would be closer to the competition.
They did throw in some free chips with salsa because I said it was my firs time there, the salsa tasted great!
The food is freshly made, with quality ingredients, and priced a bit high. But it is not Mexican food. Once we flipped our mental switch and realized we were eating Americanized dishes with Mexican names, we enjoyed our meal just fine. At first, though, we were pretty puzzled. For example, Masa pairs watered-down sour cream with their fried plantains instead of the more traditional crema. This isn’t a bad combo, but it isn’t a standard Mexican pairing. Likewise, the spices in many of the familiar Mexican dishes are just…off. Essentials are missing well beyond the lack of asiento and savory chili peppers.
If you think of Masa Mexicano as a New England attempt to prepare Mexican dishes that look and sound like Oaxacan cuisine — but don’t taste anything like them because of what New Englanders consider “healthier” ingredients and “creatively customized” recipes that are simplified in unimpressive ways — you’ll get past the lackluster, noisy, cafeteria-like space and the lack of table service.
Lastly, despite that lack of service (and expectation that you bus your own table), the minimum tip recommendation on their POS app is still 18%. Combined with the high prices on the menu, let’s hope Masa pays their employees really, really well.
Taken altogether, we probably won’t eat there again.
