  • “From the fresh ingredients to the warm handmade tortillas, Masa has genuinely captured the essence of Mexican cuisine without all the gimmicks. My favorite items so far are the carnitas tacos, corn and bean salad, and the Salsa Ilegal.”

  • "I’m not from Columbus but every time I go back I’ll be stopping here. I came to Masa hoping to taste some good Mexican food. I was wrong, I got some great Mexican food! This place is great, the food was perfect, the salsa was amazing and the horchata was a sweet touch. I definitely recommend it. Also meeting Ivan the owner at the shop you can tell he care about his food and the people who try it. He’ll even ask you what you like and not like before making tweaks and recommendations. Great guy, great food, great experience overall."

  • "Tried out East Market for the first time tonight, specifically interested in getting Masa. Owner was extremely friendly, offering us a freshly made blue corn tortilla to try. My black bean and corn quesadillas were excellent and my husband enjoyed his vegan tacos. Everything was fresh and very flavorful. Especially appreciated the offer of samples of all the salsas so we know what we want for next time. Hope this place makes it, it was great!"

    Kate Burgener

  • "My first visit to Masa was an absolute treat. We ordered the Tacos de Birria with consommé, as well as the Tacos de Barbacoa and Pastor, and I can confidently say they were a 10/10. The handmade tortillas were a standout, generously filled with flavorful birria, and I particularly appreciated that they made my tacos a bit crispier upon request. The consommé added a tasty touch to the meal. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. They not only took our orders but also made a point to check on us throughout the meal, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a great dining experience."

Salsa Más Chingón.
Salsa Más Chingón.

Smokey, dark, and sultry, this salsa is the ultimate in bold. Medium spice, it adds salty depth to everything. The biggest in flavor, it is El Más Chingón.

Salsa Roja
Salsa Roja

The red salsa is an original take on classic. Round notes of Guajillo chili smooth the spice into the throat, creating a deep warmth with notes of chile de arbol to keep the fire burning.

Pickled habanero onions

Salsa Ilegal

Medium to hot, with warmth and depth of flavor - but not just from spice level.

Salsa Verde

This fresh, citrusy salsa is crisp with a forward picant. The spice of the vibrant green seranos speak of summer days and lush gardens.
