I had their amazing empanadas which is what this place is known for. I had their chicken , beef , Philly cheese , guava and cheese , vegestables , and pork empanadas and literally nothing went wrong with them. My friend and I had a pitcher of margarita and it was literally bomb and worth the 30$. I just really enjoyed this place and will be going again. read less

It's a short walk from the Morris Park station on the 5. Definitely go with a group of people because you're going to want to try all the things.
I came here on my birthday for lunch as part of a day-long series of activities, and this was the highlight for everyone. We told the server that it was our first time there, and she helped us order.
The reason they have a menu that includes vegan and gluten-free items because a relative of the owner has a medical condition that required her to explore various dietary options to deal with it. So that is how they became familiar with vegan food. The menu has vegan and gluten-free items well-marked.
Empanadas - definitely get the Roasted Vegetables. It comes in a corn dough and we all agreed this was the best flavor and ordered seconds. We also tried the Mushrooms & Onions, Beef-Less Ground and Roasted Eggplant ones, which were fine, they just couldn't compare to the Roasted Vegetables.
We tried both the Patacones (green plantain base) and the Arepas (white cornmeal base). If you can only choose one, go with the Patacones. We tried both the Carrilero (beef-less ground and cheese) and the Vegan (mix greens, black beans, guiso & vegan cheese) toppings, which were both good. I'm usually not into fake meats, but I did like their beef-less ground.
Maduros Rellenos - a whole sweet plantain sliced down center and filled. We got the Beef-Less Ground & Vegan Cheese version. Excellent!
Each of those three dishes is served with a side of calentado (rice and beans).
Maizitos - an appetizer that is a big bowl of corn. It's good, but make sure you have enough people to eat it or be prepared to take some home because it's very large!
For dessert, we tried the Arroz con Leche Vegan (rice pudding). It was good. Rice pudding isn't really my thing, so I would try one of the other two vegan desserts next time (strawberries and cream or apple pie empanadas). read less

They messed up my order and I was extremely disappointed with it. 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

During this challenging time, I appreciate La Masa's business and ability to continue to provide such great service to the community.
La Masa siempre hace la entrega de comida mucho antes del tiempo anticipado. Le agradezco su gran y pronto servicio por que siempre espero mi comida con ansias. Durante este tiempo de gran dificultad a causa del COVID-19, aprecio el trabajo y la habilidad que ha tenido La Masa de proveer tan buen servicio. read less

They sat us quick and within minutes someone was asking our order. They were so quick and nice and polite. Kept asking if we needed anything throughout our time here. A tall Hispanic dark brown hair guy helped us, very nice and cute haha. The food was DELICIOUS!! Literally finger licking delicious! We all enjoyed the food even my 2yr old sometimes cranky and difficult to eat from places he doesn't know. The mango margaritas were delicious!! I felt this restaurant definitely deserved a review, first of many times I come to this restaurant. I will see you again, price is fair for all the food we ate plus it was delicious like I mentioned so worth it. Keep up the amazing job! read less

As soon as you walk in you feel like your in Colombia with their cultural Latin music. The service was excellent and food was delicious. Since I'm a vegatarian, they have various options to choose from. Highly recommended read less

I'll be frank with you, I'm not even going to pretend I know Colombian food...because I don't. As a matter of fact, this is actually the 2nd Colombian restaurant I've visited.....in my life. First one over in Queens- but this right here, is a unique breed and I'm liking it.
Really digging Masa's modern design with a mix of woods and the Greyish/Brownish flooring. What also caught my attention- are those huge metal letters against orange walls, plus their lighting, adds a soft feel. This is the kinda place where you'd want to linger just a bit and enjoy your food. Place isn't tiny and looks like you can score a seat. But it's probably best to take it to go because seating seems like it could be somewhat limited (especially at night).
Masa honors traditional Colombian cuisine such as Arepas, Empanadas, Bandeja Paisa, etc. Almost all their dishes call for a chicken, beef or pork- but, there are some, where you can substitute for Seafood. What struck a note is how they give their menu a Vegetarian and Vegan twist (love it). Large selection of Starters, Salads, Entrees, Sides and some Colombian Beverages. Mom and I got there a bit past 11:30 and Breakfast menu looked nice. She decided on a "bandeja" (tray) with steak, sausage, chicharron, Fried Egg, Arepa topped with Cheese and a Red Beans & Rice side dish.
It was hard for me to narrow down menu options- because all their Seafood, Vegetarian & Vegan options- sounded good. My Maduro Huevón in the end, was ultimate: a whole Sweet Plantain, slit from end to end, stuffed with Scrambled Eggs and topped with Colombian Cheese. That sucker was real good. The Sweet Plantain (looked broiled) had nice char, crispy where it had to and full of sweet! Also, with a mixed Rice & Beans side dish.
Masa wouldn't be complete without Dessert and their few selections sounded real good too. Not a total fan of Flan, but I was eyeing their Passion Fruit version. Turns out, they were out and instead, had a fantastic 'Berry Fool' look-alike!
Our server Ivana, was heaven-sent and had the most pleasant vibe to make our morning-afternoon memorable. I'm not a Colombian food connoisseur- but everything seemed to be spot on. I like Masa's mission in this Italian section of The BX. But don't sleep on La Masa- this is an excellent and creative Colombian spot in Morris Park. Mercy-approved! read less

Every time I come here the food and drinks do not disappoint. However, the last time I visited was amazingly even greater than usual. My server was Nicholas (**make sure to ask for him if he is working), and he is without a doubt one of the best servers I have ever had! Although the food and drinks are always spectacular, this was a level of service that I did not expect and was extremely impressed with. He was very attentive, great with suggestions, and funny. He will make the experience that much greater.
P.S. - The mojitos are really great -- would definitely recommend! read less
