I ran out of matcha powder and was craving a matcha latte so I decided to treat myself. This was not the kind of matcha I was expecting for a cafe to make. I think if you want to serve a popular drink like matcha then you should learn how to prepare it properly and use quality ingredients. I called and asked what ingredients they use and they said it was some cultivator or something idk but it seems like they use some cheap matcha powder bc the taste is not there. I ordered on DoorDash and was not able to get a refund so beware if you buy a matcha from them. When I called to let them know about the experience they just said "we're sorry about that" like not even trying to make it better lol they really dgaf. You can see in the pic that the color is a dark shade of green, if you like that kind of matcha then I guess try it for yourself to determine if you like that. On a positive note, I also ordered a quesadilla with chorizo and pickled onions and that is very good. read more

Masa y Taza - Matcha latte - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

This place was incredible. I ordered the classic breakfast burrito with pork sausage, and it was easily one of the best breakfast burritos I've had in a long time. The fresh tortilla was absolutely delicious, and the burrito was packed with sausage, eggs, potatoes, and cheese. Everything was perfectly balanced, so every bite had just the right amount of each ingredient. At $15, it was a great value considering the size and quality. I also tried the churro French toast, and it completely exceeded my expectations. It was light and fluffy on the inside, perfectly crisp on the outside, and not overly sweet. The caramel sauce paired with it perfectly. Don't skip the house-made salsas either. They were fresh, flavorful, and took the burrito to another level. On top of the amazing food, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Great service, great prices, and outstanding food. I'll definitely be back, especially to try some coffee!! read more

Came here on Sunday around 9am. Street parking. One restroom. Ordered the agua de Jamaica it was good a bit on the tangy side. The horchata iced latte with oat milk. It was ok. The burrito of chorizo was big and good. The service was friendly and attentive. All in all would come again to try other items. read more

Not for me but my partner enjoyed it. You order at the counter with plenty of places to sit inside. Parking is tricky in the area. The food came out pretty fast considering it was packed. Red chorizo burrito -- my partner really enjoyed this and would go back for it Red chorizo taco -- pure grease dripping out of the taco. Had a slightly bitter taste to it Green chorizo (chicken) taco -- I didn't finish this. I did not enjoy the texture it was all mush. Salsas we tried did have good flavor. Specifically the green salsa. Strawberry matcha was not very strong but had good flavor for a drink as a whole. read more

A Long Beach gem. It's a great spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch with amazing options for caffeine and food. The mazapán banana latte is creamy and sweet and a great way to top off any day. And the real stars of the show are the breakfast burritos and with their salsa verde. The el clásico breakfast burrito is quite honestly one of the best if not the best breakfast burritos we've ever had. There is good texture balance with egg and crispy potatoes, the homemade tortillas you cannot beat and I would happily drown in their salsa verde. It's perfection. Happy to have this spot in the LBC. read more

Tried this spot while doing laundry next door with my partner and we decided to split two of the El Ranchero burritos -- the red pork chorizo and the green chicken chorizo. The ingredients sounded amazing: eggs, potatoes, Mexican cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. Flavor-wise, both burritos actually tasted really good and the salsas were delicious too. Unfortunately, the texture kind of ruined it for us. Both burritos had the exact same very mushy texture, and after a few bites we were both over it. There were supposed to be potatoes inside, but it barely seemed like there were any. Crispy potatoes would've made a huge difference and added some texture. At $21 each, we just didn't feel like the burritos were worth the price. The real highlight of our visit was the drinks -- we got the horchata and pepino agua fresca, and both were SO good. Definitely our favorite part of the meal. Burritos: 2/5 Agua frescas: 5/5 read more

This has become my go to coffee spot, and for good reason. I come here every week because the coffee is always consistent, the customer service is genuinely 10/10, and everyone is so friendly. I'm vegan, and they always customize their breakfast burrito for me without any issues. It's seriously one of the best vegan breakfast burritos I've had. The tortillas taste fresh, the ingredients are high quality, and you can tell everything is made with care. And don't even get me started on the salsa, the green and red salsas are both incredible and take everything to the next level. It's not easy to find a place that's consistently great with both food and service, but this place nails it every time. I highly recommend checking them out! read more

This is such a wonderful new spot to grace the food scene of Long Beach. Masa Y Taza is a wonderful breakfast spot with something for everybody, and  I can't wait to tell you about it! Masa Y Taza is a fast casual breakfast cafe, where you order at the counter and food is brought out to your number. They have a wide variety of goods, from coffees, agua frescas, pastries, and some of the best breakfast burritos in the area. Let's start with your drinks. I got the horchata latte, which was perfect. The horchata was creamy, spicy, and sweet enough to balance the espresso. I do think this one is better than the one at Tierra Mia because it is less gritty. The breakfast burrito was so good! I got the Ranchero burrito with green chorizo. The chorizo is sooooo flavorful. It's chicken, but it is not dry at all. The Ranchero burrito is an upgraded option with the inclusion of sour cream and guacamole, but I actually don't think it's necessary at all. I would get their classic burrito so that you can see the proteins really shine. The eggs inside are fluffy and the beans are very flavorful. Each burrito also comes with 2 free sides of sauce, and there are like 8 to choose from. From what I've tasted, you can't go wrong. I personally loved the chipotle crema and the pickled onions, but that salsa macha is also bombbbbbb.  You CANNOT SKIP the FRENCH TOAST! I mean, why does this spot have some of the best french toast I've ever had? The bread is soaked in a delicious custard, and toasted until it's crispy on the outside, gooey in the middle, and somehow still so fluffy. Paired with the housemade caramel/cajeta, it's a breakfast bite made in heaven. I feel so lucky to have found this gem to add into my location for breakfast options in Long Beach. Try it, and you won't regret it. It's really unlike any other breakfast burrito options in the area. Go support!!!! read more

Masa y Taza is popping off in the LBC, and they're doing breakfast burritos right. We came in on a Sunday morning and waited about 25 minutes to place our order. Once we did, the food came out relatively quick. Next time I would call in my order for pickup. I went with the green chile chicken breakfast burrito. I really loved the combination of ingredients, the amount of cheese, and the fresh and chewy tortilla. You get your choice of two salsas with your order, and you don't want to miss the salsa verde. We love a salsa selection. As a non-coffee drinker I would have loved to see some tea options. How tasty would a horchata chai be?! I went with the pepino agua fresca which was nice and refreshing. read more

This is so good! Smokey chorizo I can't explain it you have to try it. I'm so glad it's distinctly different from other grab and go burritos!!!! Fresh tortilla like a warm hug! I got the chipotle crema salsa. I feel like everything is hand made and very well made. The guy behind the counter gave very good recommendations. We had dessert on top of the food we have. From food to drinks! There so much love and pride from the staff making it I'm so proud and makes me happy being a local cause of places like this. Will update when I get my dessert!!!! Ughhhh I know I will miss it once I finish breakfast. Oh and ambiance, modern, minimalist, clean, just the way I like it. Music is so my era lol. It has such a Mexico city vibe.

My partner put this spot up for breakfast this morning. It has been wildly popular, but we showed up early to beat the rush. Parking can be a challenge on Fourth Street, but sometimes (especially in the morning) you can get lucky. Just don't park behind the restaurant in the lot next to the laundry. Some signs make that pretty clear. When you walk in, it's a very nice place with plenty of table seating and a small menu to make great choices. We decided to split a El Classico breakfast burrito with bacon, eggs, potatoes, cheese all in a homemade flour burrito tortilla. She had a cup of Cafe de Olla, and it was a perfect natural. No need for cream or sugar, bringing her thoughts of home with her mother. We also shared the churro french toast that was stuffed with custard and came with gooey chocolate dip. It took be back to Spain by how good they were. We enjoyed the tortillas de Mantequilla, and again the homemade flour tortillas were amazing, sending me back to times as a kid. These were better than my grandmother's. The service was great overall, these guys do well behind the counter, and in the kitchen. We will definitely come back to try their breakfast tacos. read more

So glad I finally got to try this little spot! I've seen the line out the door so I was so excited my friend and I could get in here. I got the chorizo breakfast burrito with red sauce and chipotle sauce, and my friend got the big ranchero breakfast burrito. These are good size burritos with delicious flour tortillas similar to Sonoratown's flour tortillas. My chorizo burrito was very solid. Would definitely recommend. My friend loved her ranchero burrito, and took home like half of it. The real star was the churro French toast. I don't even like sweet breakfasts anymore but I could have that all day every day. The cinnamon and the cajeta were perfect! This is a fun casual spot, with terrible street parking lol, but it was worth it! You order at the counter, and then they bring your food to you. My friend got a cafe de olla iced latte and she loved it, and I liked my pepino juice! Will definitely bring more people to this cute breakfast spot! read more

Came here with my friend a few months ago after I learned she'd never been and it's in her neighborhood. This place is small with a few tables to dine in, but everything I tried has was great. We walked but they also have a few parking spots on the right side of the building. We got the El Chorizo Verde de Pollo (Green Chicken) and El Clásico breakfast burritos. The El Clásico was our favorite. I also got the Horchata Latte which was great. All the staff were super kind, including the owner who checked on us often and shared a bit about the business. Very kind and caring. I hope folks continue to support this place! read more

Maza y Taza feels less like a café and more like a living room for the neighborhood. I met Chef Gabriel, one of the co-owners, and he's genuinely hands-on -- passing out orders, greeting people, and taking the time to talk. Calling us "customers" doesn't really fit; it's clearly a community he's building, and as someone who lives just steps away, it feels good to be part of that. I ordered the Burrito El Clásico ($15) with bacon -- handmade Chihuahua-style flour tortilla that's fluffy with just the right crunch, packed with eggs, potatoes, and a Mexican cheese blend. Simple, comforting, and executed perfectly. Paired it with their Iced Mocha Mexicano with oat milk, a rich espresso blended with Mexican table chocolate and traditional spices -- bold, aromatic, and smooth without being overly sweet. This is the kind of place you don't just visit -- you show up for it. read more

3.5/5 Before coming here I did read some mixed reviews about the coffee but decided to try it anyways. I went with the mazapán banana latte iced with an extra shot. It was strong but the flavor wasn't there. I'd like to think it's because I did add an extra shot and maybe that changed the flavor, but idk. We also got 2 burritos, el ranchero w/red chorizo and a classic burrito w/bacon. They were both mediocre, my husband wasn't the biggest fan of it. I thought the salsa would be inside the burrito but it came separate in little small containers. He got 2, a green and red salsa, meanwhile I only got 1 chipotle salsa, barely enough for like half a burrito. Would I come back here most likely not. We did place our order for pick up cuz we were driving from about 40/50 minutes away. The guy doing the pick up orders was really nice and kept assuring me that my order I was almost done. read more

I found out about this place through Instagram! Bookmarked it since their coffee drinks look amazing and I'm always looking for new cafe spots to take hubby! He ordered the iced drip coffee and he was impressed! And that says a lot coming from a guy that thinks everything is "good"!lol I ordered the iced jamaica milk tea and it had a great balance of sweetness, tart, creamy! I'll definitely order it again! I loveee the vibrant color as well. It tasted really refreshing. I do suggest going really early to skip the peak hours. My little family and I arrived around 8:30am on a Sunday. As we sat down, the line got so long and out the door. If you have littles, I suggest not bringing your strollers. Good thing we didn't because it got super packed. Since they just opened, I'm assuming everyone's checking out what all the hype is about. My husband and I enjoyed our orders--El Ranchero burrito and La Espina taco. I loveee the way they cooked the eggs, fluffy and soft. I hate overcooked, rubbery scrambled eggs. I always order nopales and this had amazing flavor profile. Nothing was overpowering. It paired well with the crema chipotle sauce and green salsa! We'll definitely be back to try other food items. I took one star off just because parking is difficult to come by. We had to drive around twice and walked a block or two. It's expected though being on 4th St.. Welcome to Long Beach, Masa y Taza! read more

My wife's and I first time at Masa & Taza and it definitely won't be our last. The café de olla was amazing, not a lot of places can deliver an authentic taste. We also ordered a horchata latte and it was good too, although we've had a few better. The chile verde chicken chorizo burrito was delicious, the freshly made tortillas de harina are worth coming back for alone. Not to mention the salsas were also absolutely fire. What really stood out was Gabriel, the owner. Super friendly guy and very welcoming. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in his coffee shop and cares about the experience he's creating. It's always cool supporting a local spot where the owner is passionate about what they do. Great food, great coffee, great people. Looking forward to coming back. read more

1000% will be back! I was at the laundromat next door and ran over for a quick lunch while my clothes were in the dryer. The service was impeccable and quick, food was delicious, and portions were spot on. I had the breakfast bowl and an order of mini pancakes and will have enough for a second meal. You can tell it's all made by hand and with love, fresh and hot. The restaurant was also clean and comfortable with plenty of street parking nearby. There is a laundromat next door too - so you could give yourself a little treat while your clothes are in the dryer. read more

Decent spot that's close enough to walk to; if you're driving parking can be very limited and inside seating is very limited which can present a problem if dining in or trying to. Been here twice tried the chicken verde breakfast burrito, the potato, the concha, and the French toast. Tried the horchata latte too. Not bad. Food came out before the drink did so had to wait on that. Worth a try if local but between parking and limited dining space when busy it's not something to make a journey for (just my personal opinion) read more

I stopped by Masa y Taza this morning and I'm pretty sure they're still in a soft-opening phase, but first impressions were solid. From the outside, the branding immediately lets you know what you're walking into -- clean white and blue, very Mexican pottery-inspired, tasteful and intentional. You don't have to guess the vibe. Inside, the space feels modern and airy: nice tile work toward the back, open layout, lots of tables up front, with the kitchen clearly active behind the scenes. There's good energy right away -- the front line was busy with cashiers, coffee prep, and food being run out, which is always a good sign. Breakfast burrito options were plentiful and honestly all sounded good. I went with the El Chorizo Rojo burrito, but I already know I'll be back to work my way through the rest. They also have a solid coffee program going -- I tried the café de olla, and you can tell they're taking coffee seriously, not just treating it as an afterthought. There's also a small selection of baked goods; I grabbed a vanilla concha straight from the display case -- what you see is what you get, which I actually appreciate. The coffee and concha came out right away, though I did notice two things worth mentioning: there wasn't any cream or half-and-half out at the self-serve station, so I had to ask (they were happy to help), and the coffee itself wasn't quite as hot as I'd expect. Not a dealbreaker, just something they'll probably dial in as they settle into full service. Please please fix the temperature of the coffee. The burrito came out surprisingly fast. I grabbed chipotle crema and the mild rojo salsa, packed everything up, and headed a few blocks down to Junipero and Ocean to eat it by the beach -- honestly, a perfect setup. The burrito itself was legit. Big, filling, and piping hot, with a really satisfying mix of potatoes, eggs, refried beans, and chorizo. There's a light spicy kick -- enough to keep things interesting but not so much that it'll scare off people who don't like heat. I tried both sauces, and the salsa rojo was the standout for me: balanced, flavorful, and not just heat for the sake of heat. The tortilla deserves a shout-out too -- it holds everything together, tastes fresh, and elevates the whole burrito. Presentation was thoughtful: foil-wrapped, tucked into a paper box, sealed with a round branded sticker that reads Masa y Taza - Long Beach, California. Small detail, but it shows pride in what they're putting out. Overall, a really strong start. A few small kinks to iron out (coffee temp, cream station), but the food, the space, and the concept are all there. Definitely a welcome addition to the neighborhood, and absolutely worth checking out -- especially if you're into breakfast burritos and a good coffee stop near the beach. read more

Its awesome to see a place like this! You can't go wrong with fresh homemade tortillas and great coffee. We ordered for pick up. Lately the line has been out the door so it was a great idea to place an order online to avoid the wait. Service was great. They were making the latte as I arrived. It was so delicious and creamy. Everything was great about the burrito. I really did enjoy the potatoes. So next time ill have to try the potatoes with the salsa macha. The red and green salsas were not spicy and lacked a little in flavor.. but thats just my opinion. Ill definitely try the salsa macha next time. There is plenty of seating. I would go during the week as it seems pretty busy during weekends. read more

Just checked out this new little breakfast café that just opened up, and wow The homemade flour tortillas are insanely good -- soft, fresh, and honestly make the whole meal next level. The breakfast burritos are the BOMB, packed with flavor and even better because of those tortillas. The French toast is AMAZING, literally melts in your mouth. You don't even need syrup or anything on it, it's that good on its own. The sauces are a MUST-try. I didn't catch all the names, but there are about five different house-made sauces, and each one has its own bold, distinct depth of flavor. You'll want to try more than one. I'm usually not a big coffee person, but their café de la olla was really great -- smooth, flavorful, and not overpowering. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. Highly recommend for breakfast lovers! read more

I wanted to try this spot and see if it lives to the hype it receives on social media. Here's my unbiased opinion: Coffee: This was the strongest point. I got the Horchata Latte over ice and my partner got a Mexican Mocha. Both were freshly brewed and had a great blend of flavors. I would absolutely give these a try if you're planning on going. Customer Service: Staff was nice and attentive. They mistakenly got our drink order wrong and replaced it right away. They even gave us the drink they made by mistake, which I thought was nice! Food: I think this was my biggest let down. Portion sizes are average. There are a few other places in town that offer a bigger burrito for the same or lower price. I got the Chorizo Verde Burrito. The flavor combination was ok. It didn't have anything that made it stand out. Every burrito comes with two salsas. I chose Creamy Chipotle and Spicy Red Pickled Onions. The creamy chipotle tasted like straight up mayo, and the onions were just bland, no spice at all and clearly not marinated enough. Ambiance: The outside is pretty, so you'd think that the inside would match, but it's just a plain room with white walls and uncomfortable chairs. Music was fire though. Overall, I think this place has a lot of potential, especially considering how new they are. Please work on improving the flavor of salsas and food and making the dining room more vibrant to match the vibe. read more

I have truly been compelled to write my first Yelp review. So much so, that I want to give a one star rating, but the fact that they are in a soft opening, the quality of ingredients, and the transparency and kindness/apologies from their staff is commendable. We arrived to the location around 11am this past Sunday. They weren't taking phone orders so we could tell they were busy, not a problem. We drive there and the line was just barely out the door, maybe 7 parties ahead of us. Took us about 30-35 minutes to get our order in. Their menu board is pretty small and doesn't have any description of what's inside the burritos. Many questions had from patrons ahead of us, and also including us. A more detailed pamphlet menu would be very helpful/efficient here if you still want to keep the minimalistic vibe on the walls. We got a veggie breakfast burrito with the assumption that it would also have egg in it, because it's a breakfast burrito, right? WRONG no egg to be found. Just a bean burrito pretty much. And the burrito was wrapped deplorably. They kind of all were. They charge for extra salsas - I get it - but they were also OUT of all the salsas they charged us for. We're in Long Beach, we're absolute salsa fiends out here. I did overhear a staff member mentioning that chorizo burritos (main thing on the menu) were taking a long time to make because they were preparing more chorizo- they ran out of that too. We ordered a papa y salsa macha burrito which we also did not receive because they also ran out of potatoes, they offered us French toast bites instead which were kind of an outlier on their menu. They were damn near out of everything they need to even sell the items on their menu. So we had burritos with no salsa and ended up not receiving one of the burritos. The red chorizo burrito we did receive was pretty flavorful, the green chorizo was forgettable. The cafe de olla we got was actually very nice, not overly sweet. The burritos were very small for the price. One of the most expensive in the area and the size did not reflect that. I'm not saying I need a monster Tams burrito, but they simply shouldn't be that small for the price point. Burritos are expected to be hefty. They did constantly apologize for the wait and were transparent on why things were taking a while, but the experience we had was so sub par. We spent about an hour and fifteen minutes from start to finish for some to-go burritos and were left unsatisfied. Many people said they had been waiting for over an hour to get their order. The total was about $70 for the 4 burritos (only received 3) and one cafe de olla. As a culinary graduate, a cook, and long-time person of the industry as well, I can appreciate the quality of ingredients and the push to have as many scratch made components as possible and I understand the intricacies of how this kind of operation works. But I have to be honest about my experience. I do commend their staff for keeping a smile and great attitude throughout the pressure and chaos they were dealing with. I would love to return some time after their official opening next month and see how they've improved. I debated on leaving this review, but my experience did NOT reflect the yelp rating, or the glowing Long Beach post write up, and I thought people should be realistically prepared for the experience of a soft opening restaurant with a LOT of kinks. Hangry hopefuls might want to wait a few weeks/months. Oh. One last thing. If the main draw is burritos, for the love of god learn to wrap the burritos. read more
