Grabbed a same-day reservation for dinner on a Friday and had a fantastic meal here. I tried: + Pasión comiteca cocktail - perfect, my favorite of the two cocktails we ordered + Naked in bushwick cocktail - also excellent + Apricot cardamom agua Fresca - good flavor but was a little too viscous + Guacamole - perfect + Fluke Aguachile - the best thing we ate + Tuna tostada - excellent + Lamb belly barbacoa - excellent + Chocolate crémeux - yummy but was hoping for more cake! Was mostly cream Will definitely be back. 4.5 stars.

The food here felt really similar to the stuff I had in Mexico City. Huevos Rancheros - plenty of flavor from the tortillas inside and from the salsa over top. Mole Almendrado - intensely spiced, with some nice floral notes, and pretty rich. The mole doesn't come with tortillas, but I chose not to get more. I wish I had, because the mole was a bit overly intense on its own. My meal came out to about $45 with tax and tip. It's a bit on the expensive side, but the food is tasty and the restaurant has a really nice, modern ambiance.

By the time I post this review, the menu will have changed probably at least a few times over, because they're always experimenting with new ingredients and bold flavors. They are quietly revolutionizing Bushwick's food scene in ways that rival a lot of the city's most acclaimed restaurants. You may have never heard of Sobre Masa but you've likely savored their tortillas. At the core of their menu is heirloom corn and all its glorious varieties. They're passionate about educating their customers on the significance of corn and the impact on Mexican cuisine. On a technical level, their tortilla factory has mastered the art of nixtamalization, producing the most pliant, earthy and delicious tortillas you've ever seen. Their commitment to heirloom corn and care and uncompromising quality really shows in every bite. I chafe at places that charge extra for chili oil or hot sauce, but here I don't mind, because their salsa mache is so good. I wish they'd go back to selling these in jars, but they sounded pretty firm on not doing that anymore. While they do always add new things to the menu, you'll still find their stellar guacamole, creative tostadas, and flan on their menu. I just spotted their chicken liver tostado newly added to their menu, and now I feel called to return. The best part is that you can likely walk in without reservations, even on weekend nights.

Current residents of Bushwick should be overjoyed because Sobre Masa is yet another gem of an eatery in their neighborhood. My friend told me about this place over a year ago and he was raving about their amazing fish tacos. The memory of those fish tacos is what drove us to go check out Sobre Masa a few days ago. What we soon found out, was that the menu changes frequently and the fish tacos were no longer on it. This was only a slight bummer, because everything we did end up having was absolutely great! The highlights for me were their guacamole (and accompanying sauces), lamb belly barbacoa, and the passionfruit/carrot juice. The guacamole was the most seasoned and flavorful guac I've ever had. No cap, no exaggeration. Some may find it on the salty side but it never crossed that line for me. The tortilla chips were perfect and strong. They won't fold under pressure and break when you go for that scoop of green goodness. A little toum, green salsa, and either red or orange sauce for some spicy kick on that chip is the way to go. If the lamb belly is on the menu, it is a must try! Pro-tip: save some of the guac and sauced to have with your lamb belly tacos and get creative. The lamb belly is juicy, flavorful, and a perfect protein to go with their delicious tortillas. The passionfruit juice is the base agua fresca for one of their alcoholic cocktails. While it may be a little pricy to some for juice, it was so refreshing, perfectly sweet, and I enjoyed ever last drop. The restaurant just has a great vibe to it. Nice lighting, not loud or noisy, friendly staff, quick service. I was blown away and will absolutely be returning.

This is the best place to get authentic Oaxaca food in New York City! The tortillas are the best I've ever had and I've been to Mexico. Service is great, ambience was top-tier. Desert was delicious!

Overall rating: 4.6 Price: $61.38 per w/ tax & tip It's very rare for me to see fancy Mexican. So I was very excited to try this place. I got a reservation around 7, but it definitely isn't needed & a walk-in is easily attainable. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and reminds me of my time in Mexico City. This is a weird statement, but I'm obsessed with the bathroom. It's so welcoming and warm and it smells lovely. Really good job. I came with a new friend so when I saw bar seats available I immediately took them vs going for a table. While the restaurant is rich in culture, around the corner of the bar was what felt like storage or trash. Since it's a fancier place, they should consider hiding that in a closet or in the back versus next to a bar. What got me here is watching a TikTok talk about how & how long they make their corn tortillas. So when I learned happy hour is until 7pm & it includes a free steak taco, I was very excited. Unfortunately it was hard and not good. I can do simple items when the seasoning is there. But it wasn't. Extremely disappointing. Should add an avocado crema or something. We ended up only getting guacamole & the tuna tostado. The guacamole was big and a great portion. The tuna tostado was very tasty and a nice redemption. But I definitely want to come back & try other items before a fair review. Also just noting there was only one waiter and one bartender. The bartender additionally acted as a waiter and the waiter also acted as a hostess. It's a big place, so was a bit surprised they didn't have a 3rd person.

A friend and I came in for Sunday Brunch recently. The space is well decorated and feels welcoming. We were welcomed by one of the owners at our table, explaining their commitment to authentic flavors, celebration of rich heritage, and support to empowering farmers. We started off with the vanilla conchitas. Light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. For our entrees we had the chilaquiles with avocado. The chips were high quality and flavorful, while the toppings were spicy, creamy, and delicious. The Sala Macha that seems a combo of salsa and chili crisp to me, was absolutely killer. They sell it by the jar and I took one home with me! Definitely want to return and try their dinner menu!

Sobre Masa is a bit out of the way but I've been meaning to visit this location since their original location closed by the Williamsburg bridge. I had the opportunity to dine here several times and each time has been amazing! You would think the first time was a fluke, so I came by again. From December to April, they updated the menu, which I value. To me, it means they're always experimenting with new ingredients and ideas. For my most recent visit, we splurged a bit since we were celebrating an anniversary. They have a lovely window ceiling that allows for natural light to fall through. In the evening, dim lights are lit up for ambiance. We ordered roasted oysters, mole alemandrado, arrachera skirt steak, chicken liver tostada, and the chocolate cake. Roasted oysters came out first and were delicious and smoky. Mole alemandrado itself was fantastic. The broccoli rabe was nicely charred. I wish this was more of an entre. Arrachera skirt steak was done medium rare, served with tortilla. As much as I loved the steak by itself, I didn't enjoy the pairing with the tortilla as much as I thought. Compared to my last visit, I had the chicken served with polenta, and that complimented each other well. Chicken liver tostada - we were still a bit hungry so we ordered this to top of our night. I was amazed by how smoothe the pate was. This only came as one piece. As for drinks, it was a combo of alcohol and non alcoholic drinks of the Toronja, Cocktail of the day, Chinampa, No es in daiquiri, and a shot of mezcal. We sat by the bar so we got to see all our drinks being made. We had an amazing bartender who did his magic in front of us. He was knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. Lastly, we concluded with Rika's chocolate cake, which wasn't over empowering but provided the deep chocolate flavor satisfaction you needed to end the night.

The place has a casual feel to it. The service was outstanding. The food quality was great and everything was cooked perfectly. The empanada was pretty bland. The flan was incredible.

Upon entering, we were struck by the decor; very cute and felt soothing. It was quite hot near the bar as we made our way to the back, but it cooled down once we were seated. The service was decent, though our waiter seemed a bit confused when we requested separate checks and receipts. Overall, the food was delicious and far better than the desserts. I'm curious if their menu changes often, as I'd like to try other items.

Would so highly recommend trying out this spot. Felt off the beaten path for sure but definitely worth making the trek. We got the guacamole to start which was delicious. They also provided an array of salsas/sauces for the chips and tacos. The cocktails were also amazing (they have amazing tequila selection). For entrees, we got the skirt steak and carnitas which were both amazing. Personally I enjoyed the steak more but my husband thought the carnitas were phenomenal. We also got the chocolate mil hojas which was delicious. It was pretty empty when we went so we got a lot of attention from the servers and a lot of recommendations. They were so nice!

This place is located in the cut in Brooklyn. Back streets and hidden. Very cute and cozy inside. Dimly lit. Pleasurable ambiance. Our server Araseli was very knowledgeable of the menu. We just happened to stop in for happy hour which is from 5:30pm-7pm. There wasn't much of a variety of drinks to chose from on the happy hour menu. Some wine. One cocktail. And beer. We tried the cocktail. It was made with a in house fermented agave. It was just average. Totally not worth $12. The chips and guacamole was pretty good. First set of chips tasted a little stale. Second batch more fresh. We also had salsa on the side which when brought out was a little flight. They included: Salsas: White - garlic toum aioli Green - tomatillo and Serrano Red - chili Morrita Orange - chili de árbol They all were delicious! My friend ordered some wings. They were hot and I didn't really care for them. Wouldn't order them again. However, I would like to come back for dinner at some point. They have some Interesting choices on the menu.
