The service was slow and when our food finally arrived, we received two very different portion sizes of the same sandwich (Classic Torta)… The torta itself was the worst i’ve had, extremely dry, bland and not enjoyable. Nice atmosphere and the chips and queso were decent, but basically had to use the leftover queso just to get it down. Overall, Masa Luna is probably decent for cocktails but would not recommend for food.

We sat upstairs at the little bar because it was busy downstairs. What a delight! It had a great ambiance, lighting and great service. We had the chip’s and dips and the delicious tostada. I’ll be thinking of that tostada until the next time I visit! Great experience, wonderful service.

Masa Luna just crash-landed in Little Bohemia and brought the party with it. This isn’t your abuela’s tamale joint—it’s a flavor-forward fever dream with pierogies that flirt and cocktails that don’t play nice.
Let’s talk food: the pierogies were buttery little pillows of joy, like someone wrapped comfort food in a love letter. The salsa with queso? A spicy, melty masterpiece that had us double-dipping with zero shame. Shrimp taco was so light and hit the spot as we were not starving on this first visit. Tamales? We didn’t even get to them yet and we were already emotionally invested.
Now the drinks. Oh, the drinks. That espresso martini came in—bold, brash, and ready to ruin your sleep schedule. The daiquiri? Tropical, flirty, and deceptively strong. Not even close to classic. We were one sip away from calling an Uber and confessing our secrets to the bartender.
The vibe? Think cozy meets cool. Masa Luna feels like your artsy friend’s living room—if that friend also moonlights as a mixologist and knows how to throw a dinner party with pierogies and tamales on the same plate.
Final verdict: Come hungry, come thirsty, and maybe leave your car at home. Masa Luna is here to feed your soul and test your tolerance.

Place was very cool, however there is not a ton of dining space. We went on a Friday night and the upper section was closed for a private event. Luckily we snagged a table because the line kept getting longer and longer for a table. I see why it was so busy, food was good and service was phenomenal despite being busy. Was a fun place for a date, and we will be back! I would avoid the tacos, lots of good food but these were a miss.

What a lovely and vibrant place! the vegan tamales and chicharron platter were a great contrast of flavors. We also really enjoyed the dipping sauces, the atmosphere, and quality of service. Also, the tamales … The tamales felt like a warm hug, which matched the vibe from the employees.
Can’t wait to enjoy Masa Luna again with some buddies.

This is exactly what you would want for a casual place to have some food. Great drinks, great food and a real fun atmosphere. Everybody that worked there was super nice and we had a great meal and drinks. It’s brand new and you would expect there to be some bumps in the road, but there was none. The same group operates a couple of other restaurants that are always on the money and this place did not disappoint.

Masa Luna is AMAZING. The inside is stunning with a very relaxed and cozy atmosphere. There is a really neat upstairs area/bar and the main level is booths and tables with super cute decor all over!! The food was all so delicious! I had the chips and queso, vegetarian tamales, and the ice cream sandwich and it was all 10/10!!!!! I cannot wait to come back to this place and I could not recommend it more:)

The BEST tortilla chips & queso we’ve ever had. My husband and I loved this spot. We’ll be back for sure!! The food is wonderful and the service is even better. The drinks are strong, too! I love that they have gluten free + vegan menu options. My mom is GF so I’m always looking for good places to bring her when she’s in town!

Understanding its a new place and all the kinks have to be worked out within restaurant flow.
If you’re looking for a spot on 13th Street in Omaha that knows how to do cocktails and Mexican food right, Masa Luna is the place. The Paloma and margaritas were an excellent start to the nightbright, balanced, and refreshing. The habanero Paloma, in particular, was a standout: a little kick, but smooth and well-balanced so the spice never overpowered the drink.
The food didn’t disappoint either. The blue corn quesadillas were fantastic rich, cheesy, and packed with flavor. But the appetizer that stole the show was the chorizo pierogis. Absolutely to die for. Unique, hearty, and something you won’t find anywhere else.
Their salsas deserve a shoutout too. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The queso was creamy and delicious, especially when mixed with the Mama sauce and spiced salsa, which added layers of flavor without being overwhelming. All of this paired perfectly with their house-made chips, which were crisp and addictive.
The street tacos were another win well-balanced with great flavor. And the enchiladas? Killer. Instead of the traditional rolled style, they had more of a flat, lasagna-like presentation. It was a bold take, and it worked beautifully rich, layered, and absolutely delicious.
Masa Luna feels like a spot where the experience matters, from the cocktails to the salsas to the way they reimagine classics. Definitely worth a visit for well balanced and flavorful food!
