The $4.99 happy hour Margarita was all sour mix with little, if any, tequila. The chips and salsa came out nice and hot, but was just okay.

This is not a place I would care to return to.

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Prior to my initial visit, there are two reasons why I wanted to check out MASA Taqueria Y Cantina (which I will shorthand to MASA for the remainder of this review after the first paragraph). The first reason is the name. Though plenty of Mexican restaurants in English-speaking countries, especially in the U.S., do this, the translation from Spanish-to-English for MASA made me crack a smile. MASA Taqueria Y Cantina roughly translates to DOUGH Taco Restaurant and Bar. Leave it to Mexican restaurants in English-speaking countries to use simplistic titles for their businesses knowing Spanish is romance language and will sound fantastic even if the translation is considered "mundane" or "plain." Second reason: MASA was given a recognition of gratitude from Coastline Community Church, the non-denominational Christian church located right next to them. While attending one of their services, I learned their congregation often "overflows" into MASA's parking lot, especially during events. Despite this, the owners and operators/workers at MASA are gracious about it. The pastor asked us a favor and if we could, show them some love and stop by their restaurant. And that is what I did, along with my friend Heather and kids who invited me to Coastline Community Church since that was her home church at the time. Though an address is provided, MASA is located on the Southside of Eau Gallie Blvd., just east of the bridge. They happen to be next-door neighbors with Red Crab: Juicy Seafood and Bar. For those who've lived in the area (or the Space Coast for that matter), it used to be the "weird" Mulligan's Beach House Bar & Grill (I say it was weird because all Mulligan's locations are on or a stone's throw away from the water and this one was "landlocked."). From the start, MASA utilizes a mix of classic Mexican American culture, Florida style, and splashes of simple class. Their building looks like a modernized Adobe building showcasing an outdoor patio dining area often popularized among the Florida natives during summer nights or Hurricane parties. Their namesake and logo - their take on a Dia de Los Muertos Skull - are emblazoned all in black against a light background on the side of their building, which has a full view from Eau Gallie Blvd. Inside, there is a modern approach to decor meaning simplistic wood and metal dining furniture, collage art, and neon lights spelling out simplistically catchy phrases that parody pop culture like "Say hello to my Taco friend!" We opted to sit outside since it was kinda cool despite the light moisture from the rain clouds all around us. Outside dining is not bad, but unless you are sitting at one of their outdoor dining tables and chairs, it is kind of awkward eating food from low-level outdoor couches and coffee tables. Skylar was our waitress and she was kind and attentive enough. She did take extra care of Heather since she had two young kids with her which I admire. As for food, it ranges from classic Mexican to true Mexican/Floridian fusion. I ordered their take on Chicken and Waffles which is Chicken and Churros, and the Meat Street Tacos. Heather got the Rice Bowl with House Meat (chicken). Her kids ate whatever they were served, but also got some french fries, too. Definitely need to go back with friends and attack those Mexican/Floridian fusion meals including the Taco Longboard and the Totchos (Tater Tot Nachos). A couple of side notes:, the restrooms were clean and stocked, which is good given the business of the Sunday church rush. And MASA does have official merchandise for sale. Their primary store items are t-shirts and cups, but I was able to get a free sticker for my sticker book. For my initial visit, I am giving MASA four out of five stars. Fantastic atmosphere that is a mix of traditional and modern, fantastic food in which their Florida fusion makes them stand out from the many other Mexican restaurants here in the Space Coast (or Florida for that matter as there can be way too many of them), and fantastic service overall. I also got to talk to the manager and he gave me some suggestions for my next visit. When I return, let's say a couple more times, and MASA on average is as good as this initial visit (or even better), I'll update their review to a perfect five-star score, granting them their fifth star for consistency.

We stopped at MASA's as we were commuting back home. This Mexican cuisine was tasty. The decor was…read morecozy and inviting. If you are a bulb/lighting consesuir, you will appreciate some of the incandescent bulbs and pipe structure. The food portions are rather large. two can eat from one plate. We ordered chicken fajitas and an extra side of tortillas. Stuffed to our faces. I had also ordered a steak rice bowl, without knowing the portion, got it to go :) The "uno, dos, tres" appetizer was perfect as well. Almost to say it's like a sampler of the guac, queso (paprika is added. This was different for me but it heightens the queso flavor) and salsa. If you enjoy dessert, the brownie is a must have. Served with vanilla ice cream, whip cream and chocolate/caramel like syrup. *mouth watering* Our waitress was very kind and helpful. If back in the area, we will definitely swing by again.

Came for an earlyish dinner and did not realize it was happy hour. Lots of specials on drinks and apps to choose from.

Tender and flavorful off menu option. The fajita meal was huge as expected. And we had leftovers. The meat and chicken was very flavorful and the veg was rendered enough to soften them but keep the flavor. Sweet onions and bell peppers were perfect. Do not drive by this gem of a restaurant.

We told her we love trying new things and asked for her recommendations, and she absolutely delivered. She helped us narrow everything down, and honestly, every single thing we ordered was so good.

She had no idea we were in town for a funeral, but this ended up being such a needed pick-me-up for our family. The vibe, the food, and Sofi's energy just turned our whole night around.

At the least, the menu is completely different. Claims to be "California" Mexican. Couldn't be farther from the truth. Putting broccoli, cauliflower and mushrooms in many dishes is not that. Half the menu is single order tacos of various varieties, not a bad thing in and of itself. The problem is what is missing. One burrito option on the entire menu (another instance of a "California" name on it apparently because of the inclusion of the aforementioned veggies). Otherwise there is a vague, unexplained offering of "make it a burrito". Just sparse and strange combinations of ingredients in what is available. The food we did have was ok, nothing special. Refried beans, for example, which used to be spot on CA style, are now tasteless. Guac was pedestrian. You get the picture. Service was poor. Waited 5 minutes before anybody even came to the door to seat us. Not a huge deal but a good preview of what we had in store. One server for the entire place, bar included - on a Friday evening. Maybe an effort to save expenses? Not the way to do it. The only positive is that they painted the exterior and the place is looking good. But without the food or service, best of luck. As much as I want to keep liking the place, we won't be back.

I had a huge combo plate with a taco, burrito, and enchilada all melted under (too much) cheese....everything kinda melted together which is typically my jam. It smells great upon entry, but it was quite warm with the air conditioning set low, and a bit of stickiness on the bathroom floor. The Al Pastor quesadilla had a GREAT flavor, with the beans & rice above average, chips were warm and salty and the salsa needed a little more of a chill, but had a nice kick to it. Has potential!
