    I've visited Taco Masa along with two other locations, and to be honest, this one was the best of the three. The staff were incredibly friendly especially the cashier who took my order. She walked me through the menu with such patience, and even though I was there around 9 p.m. on a Saturday, it wasn't overly crowded, just a steady stream of customers. I had tacos and corn on the cob (Elote) , and both were fresh and full of flavor. But the real highlight was the agua Fresca. It's $3.50 with free refills! I tried the watermelon, cucumber and lemon which was definitely my favorite. I wasn't a fan of the guava. The staff were also on top of cleaning tables often, and while the restroom was overall clean, it did need some serious flooring work. just a hardware issue, not the staff. The location is on a busier street in downtown Brea, so parking is a bit tricky. Be careful as some spots have a 20-minute limit, but if you drive just a bit further, you can find longer parking. Prices were decent, tho not cheap, but fair, especially for the quality. All in all, the standout was definitely the staff, so hardworking and attentive. I'll be coming back for sure!

    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.

    I called this location to place a phone order as I was driving there so I didn't have to wait so long for my phone. A female answered and politely asked if I can be placed on hold while she helps others so I said okay. I continued to drive there and arrived before she came back on the phone. The restaurant had about 6 customers in it all seated and no one in line. I went in line and ordered my phone as I continued to hold just to see how long it would take for her to come back on. I took a screen shot at 10 minutes but she didn't come back on until the 12th minute. I understand if they're busy, but they weren't so I don't understand! I know they would prefer it if I order online because they charge more for some reason! I'm on to your tricks tacosmasa!!!! You're not the only taco spot in town!!!!

    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.

    Really good experience. Their place has a simple menu, and I appreciate how hard they try to present the hole in the wall type of atmosphere in an area like Brea. The service is solid and they walked the singular asada taco up to my table, which was nice. The taco itself was so good. For around $5 I got a pretty hefty taco with a ton of meat. Had a good mix of flavors. I'd definitely come back for a larger order.

    Craving a breakfast burrito and got the adobada supreme. Flavor was so good but not sure if there was sour cream. Restaurant was clean and service was good

    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.

    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

    Excellent service in a very nice location in downtown Brea the restaurant is very bright with friendly staff. Ordered burrito and nopal tacos! Very rare and really good.

    jamaica

    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!

    Asada tacos
    Katherine C.

    Food was amazing. The asada tacos were great and the guacamole was perfect. They are decently sized and very filling. Service was great and quick. A great place to stop by and grab food quickly.

    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!

    Back at it again for another restaurant review!…read more Location: good location. Kind of hard to see from the street because it's tucked away in a plaza. Plenty parking spaces. Interior of the Restaurant: cool small spot. Although it's a bit small, it's clean and well put together. Workers: Soo far everyone's friendly and helpful. Food: Excellent. I don't know about you guys, but I think one of the most important recipe to good Mexican food is the flavor of the meat. If the meat tastes good then everything else will fall into place. Their meat tastes phenomenal . Oh I love their sauces too :)

All through Mother's Day during visits with kids and my baby grandkids. Finally better today-Wed May 13th 2026. I usually never text bad reviews but I felt this is pretty legit. Maybe need to wash lettuce better or something, I don't know. For many years we've gone through a drive through in La Habra to buy tacos somewhat like these and never got sick. Going to stick to that place for close by street tacos.

They also have a large covered outdoor patio with ceiling fans. I had the taco and enchilada combo ($14), with a carne asada taco (+$1) and a shrimp enchilada (+$3.50) with green sauce. The plate also comes with rice and pinto or black beans. You order at the register, and your food is delivered to your table. The enchilada was great, filled with perfectly grilled shrimp, and a nice layer of gooey cheese on top. There was extra cheese on the plate above and below the enchilada which made it even better. The green sauce was great and had a very mild heat. They don't skimp on the tacos here. Two flour tortillas hold a ton of flavorful carne asada and it is topped with lettuce and pico de gallo. They have a great salsa bar, and I always enjoy the salsa verde and some lime wedges with my tacos. The rice is light and fluffy, and I drench it with salsa verde. I usually don't care much for beans. The last time I had lunch here, the pinto beans were very watery and bland. This time, they were much better and I ate almost all of them. There was a lot of extra green sauce from the enchilada on the plate which helped. The woman at the ordering register was very friendly and wished me a great day. The gentleman who delivered my food and cleared my table was also very pleasant.

Not quite authentic Mexican but not American style either as it didn't have that fish taco sauce they always put on it. This was somewhere in between. I like the small menu as it only has fish tacos and burritos and shrimp and beef and chicken. They also had bowls too. I guess this would fall under fast casual but the food did take a little time to come out. It looks like they're doing everything right. No complaints here. I will be back.

I went for the premium meats like Arrachera (outside skirt steak) and Costilla (chopped beef ribs). Both meats were flavorful, cooked well, and piled generously on the tortillas. I ordered the rice-and-beans side, and both were delicious, especially when adding more ingredients from the salsa bar. Highlights: - Flavorful, mesquite-grilled meats and plenty of offerings on the menu - The variety of salsas and condiments bar is solid - Taco Tuesday deals - Indoor and outdoor seating - Chill atmosphere and pleasant decor - A few TVs to watch sports - A few more locations in the OC The staff was kind, and the service was efficient. We got our dine-in order within 5-10 mins. The dining area and salsa bar were clean and tidy. We arrived around 1 pm, so we missed most of the lunch crowd. Price-wise, it's a bit on the premium side, but it's still a nice treat once in a while. They also add a small fee for card payments, so I prefer to pay with cash when I can. 4.5/5 Rating overall.
