    Asada Burrito
    Shannon W.

    Heard a lot of good things about this place, so I finally came to give it a try. I ordered their Deluxe Trio and got the asada, adobada, and tripa. All three were very flavorful, but I did find them to be on the saltier side. Their mild salsa was delicious, though, and went really well with all of the tacos. I think some of the extra saltiness might have been from the cheese that comes with the deluxe. To confirm my theory, I ordered a regular lengua taco afterward, and it was indeed less salty. The lengua was flavorful on its own, and I actually think I might prefer their non deluxe tacos. The star of the show for me was definitely the asada burrito con todo. Everything about it was tasty. The asada was tender, and the rice and beans were seasoned really well. Everything worked together, and there wasn't one ingredient that overpowered the rest. I would definitely order the burrito again. Overall, the food had a lot of flavor. I would probably skip the Deluxe next time because of the saltiness and stick with their regular tacos, but that asada burrito is something I would come back for.

    Chicken quesadilla
    Sonali S.

    Taco Massa is usually my go to spot, so this visit was disappointing. My chicken quesadilla was nothing like it normally is. The cheese was pretty much burnt instead of being melted and gooey, so it didn't have that cheesy quesadilla consistency at all. It was dry and just wasn't enjoyable. I'm hoping this was just an off day.

    Tacomasa is super super conveniently located right between both downtown Brea parking structures- I didn't even know they existed and have breakfast burritos as well as vegetarian options! The tortilla is one of those giant fat-arse rounds able to hold a real two handed burrito. It's substantial and made with real eggs! Not from carton precracked eggs and I know this because I ate several pieces of eggshells. From those shells I know they used white shelled eggs and not brown shelled. Other than that no real complaints. It's a decent price for a meatless burrito that I couldn't finish in one sitting without going into a food coma.

    Mulita with adobada meat & 2 carne asada tacos & 1 tripa taco.
    Ash G.

    Honestly this was a somewhat disappointing experience for my hubby & I. I can see this being an attractive location for those that don't care for well seasoned food, it's in Brea so that checks out. As for this Chicana that loves her food well seasoned I found this place lacking. I got 1 asada taco & 1 mulita with adobada (pork meat) & hubby got 1 asada taco & 1 tripa taco. We both were disappointed with the lack of flavor in the meats. We also got an elote and it was more cobb than corn because the corn we ordered had very thin kernels. For the price of $5 a taco, $6 for mulita, & $7 for the corn it was disappointing overall. I gave a two star instead of 1 though because the one thing I truly enjoyed was their guayaba limon agua & the service was good & the location was clean. To mi gente out there that like well marinated, seasoned meat skip on this place, but for you that like light to no seasoned meat this is your gem.

    Tacos & Quesadilla
    Shirley W.

    We were around the area and decided to stop by here for lunch. It's a small taco shop, but plenty of patio seating. I got to try 2 carne asada tacos, and my bf got a quesadilla a lengua taco. It didn't take too long to receive our order, so service was pretty efficient. The tacos are on the more "pricier" side compared to street tacos, maybe because these are considered more gourmet or so? Although, I wouldn't really say it's not as premium. The guac that they had with the taco was pretty nice. The carne asada cuts on the taco were thicker than usual, has a smoky flavor to it which was pretty nice. Tacos were pretty standard. I tried my bf's quesadilla and it honestly tasted more like a cheese taco than a quesadilla. The proportions don't seem to be quite right for a quesadilla since there was more meat and less cheese. Overall, it was not bad. Personally, I feel like Tacomasa gives me more Americanized taco vibes. I don't really feel the authenticity here, but it's pretty decent. Nothing too special.

    Asada tacos - deluxe trio
    Jung Min L.

    Stopped by this place for lunch and ordered the deluxe trio asada tacos, and I was really impressed. It looks like they opened not too long ago, so this is a newer taco spot. The staff was extremely friendly from the moment we walked in, and the restaurant itself was very clean. What I really appreciated was that the staff allowed us to sample the different meats before ordering, which made it easier to decide since they offer several options. I ended up going with the classic asada and ordered the deluxe trio option. The portion size was huge compared to the traditional tacos. I was honestly full after about one and a half tacos, so if you're not a big eater, two tacos will definitely be enough. For most guys, I think the deluxe trio is the perfect amount. The meat was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. They also provide a sauce of your choice, and you can request a side of jalapeños, which I absolutely loved. Another thing I liked was that the cooking area is behind a glass wall, so you can watch the chefs cook live. I thought that was very transparent and reassuring. The staff was constantly cleaning and maintaining the area, which really stood out to me because a clean environment is so important when you're eating out. I really hope the quality and overall experience stay consistent. Sometimes restaurants are great when they first open, but quality can drop over time. That said, I absolutely loved this taco place and would definitely return. Amazing quality, generous portions, and very friendly staff. Love this place.

    Asada tacos and one adobada taco
    Erin H.

    I had a strange craving for tacos today and was feeling adventurous. After some quick research, the fam decided on Tacomasa in Brea. I got 2 asada tacos and everything had amazing quality and came with cilantro, guacamole, onions - everything you would get on your taco. I got the pineapple drink and it was amazing. We also got the elote, a corn on the cob with cheese and sauce on it - very good. The service was nice and the ambiance was very pleasing. Tacomasa is one of the great taco places around Brea, and my parents and I are hoping to come again.

    Chicken tacos
    P K.

    Service was great! Elote was warm and delicious. My chicken tacos were good as well. A bit more seasoning would have sealed the deal. My son loved his crispy fries. Everything was really clean and service was great. I'm giving 4 stars because I had to keep asking for napkins and salsa. I would prefer for napkins to be somewhere where I can get them myself and preferably a salsa bar. I wanted more lime but didn't want to bother them asking for things. But other than that everything was great! Great location and friendly staff

    Asada fries
    Linny P.

    Great addition to downtown Brea! There's limited street parking and a parking structure available. There used to be a long line when they first opened, but it's not too bad anymore. I came on a Saturday around 6:30 PM and there was no wait. There's some seating inside, but more outdoor seating available. I usually order the following: Taco Combo - comes with two tacos, rice and beans, and a small drink for $13.95. Totally worth it because you can choose any drink including horchata and agua frescas and get refills. Asada Fries - $14.95 comes with sour cream, Guac, cheese, and salsa. Love how crispy the fries are. Service is also good! Many places charge extra for salsa, but love how they don't do that here. Also, tacos are a little pricier but they're big. Overall, highly recommend!

    I stopped by to grab some tacos before a comedy show at The Improv. There's a free parking structure just a short walk away and the area has plenty of restaurants, stores, and a movie theater. I ordered the taco combo, which comes with 2 tacos, a small side of rice and beans, and a small drink. I went with 2 adobada tacos and a jamaica. They also offer other aguas frescas like horchata and pepino con piña. The tacos were good and hit the spot before the show! The staff was friendly and even offered samples of the meats to help me decide what to order which I appreciated!

This is more of a fast-casual setup where you order at the counter, receive a number, and your food is brought out.

Portions were generous for the price, so it felt like a great value overall. Great spot if you're in the Brea area and want something tasty without breaking the bank. I'll definitely be back to try more off the menu and recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a solid, no frills meal.
