As my first time having vegan Columbian food, it was one of the most flavorful vegan meals I've tasted. I will be back!! read less

They have a wide assortment if vegan options and a vegan menu even though everything is marked really well on the standard menu. If you are vegan gluten free like me they have plenty to choose from (which is rare). My first visit was during happy hour so I tried their red sangria, some roasted veggie empanadas and the encebollados. My next visit I had a full order of empanadas and the saltedos, which is very similar to the encebollados. My next trip back NYC will definatly include another stop here! read less

I had 3 weeks to left and I was looking forward to eating a heaping pile of Colombian food. Next thing I know I look at the actual menu and see that there are several vegan options. I didn't have to wait 3 weeks to get my grub on at this wonderful Morris Park restaurant And boy was I happy I didn't. As of this writing I've been there twice and this is what I've feasted on so far: their portobello mushroom burger which is a must eat, their vegan "sausage" and peppers with yuca fries which I can say I am fully obsessed with, their vegan patacon with mushrooms and assorted veggies, mushroom empanadas to die for, a vegan version of their Carrilera burger which was hearty, delicious and a definite must, vegan baked apple pie empanadas and their crazy good vegan whipped cream and strawberries. While I do look forward to chomping down on some meat dishes in a littles less than two weeks, I'm so happy I found this spot with delicious vegan dishes, great drinks and awesome drinks. read less

My husband, daughter and I just left this place and i must say that everything was great.
Our server (a female with light colored hair) was very attentive. She kept checking on us making sure everything was no less than perfect.
You sit yourself and immediately afterwards a server comes and greats you.
The drinks are strong good
We had the peach margarita and mango margaritas. The mango one was better.
We ordered empanadas, broccoli poppers,rice and black beans, maduro Rellenos.
We are both vegetarian and excited to see the menu and also to know that the server was also vegetarian.
Food hands down was the best I've had recently at any restaurant.
We will definitely be going again.
Everything was affordable as well read less

However upon calling the restaurant and speaking with the owner to air my concerns I decided to change the review. The owner is a consummate gentleman that doesn't shy away from criticism. He listened to my concerns as a consumer and I greatly appreciate that because most people aren't too adept at handling criticism. I had been to this restaurant several times prior to writing my first bad review and my experiences were always positive and even though my experience ordering out was disappointing I will continue to eat at La Masa. People make mistakes and I wish to see La Masa continue to grow and prosper. read less

Had the Campesina Burger, very well cooked the atmosphere was great, music was low enough I can have an actual conversation. My family and I came in for brunch I had the Bellini and my brother had the Cortadito, it's like a coffee with rum drink - SO GOOD!
Our server was Xena, she was super sweet and a great server, very very attentive all orders were correct, great for families, birthdays, lunch or dinner! Anything- highly recommend this place and our amazing server Xena. read less

The had a good amount of GF options and the service was good as well at the price. So happy this place is in existence in the Bronx which is not easy to find Gf options. Might be a Nee fav spot! read less

The food was amazing - my family and I had an awesome time. The music was at the right volume; along with good eating, we enjoyed good conversation without competing with the music.
The service was phenomenal, our server, Ivana was welcoming, and once she found out that it was our first time, she quickly guided us through the menu.
Along with exceptional hospitality skills, our first experience is one we'll never forget and we'll absolutely be frequent guest.
I assure you I'm not related to Ivana, met her for the first time that evening, but if you ask for her, the treatment you'll receive will be sure to impress you! read less

On my most recent visit, I ordered the cilantro lime chicken, which was a large plate of chicken, rice and beans, salad and maduros. It was so delicious I actually finished it ALL in one sitting! The service is great and the atmosphere is very laid back. read less

There are plenty options for v and veg folks and I must say the best part of it all...the food is DELICIOUS!!! Man I love this spot. Cute and welcoming...the waitress are so polite and accommodating.
Suggestions: salad #1 with their housemade raspberry vinaigrette! Black bean calentado! Vegan sweet plantain thing (can't remember the name, lol) minus the vegan cheese (well for me at least...I hate fake cheese)! Lastly, apple pie and roasted vegetable empanada!!!
Ok...may the full gut be with you! read less
