Masa

This place is amazing. I went here when it was the Tortilla Bar in Orem. Seriously– the beef/​granny smith tacos are delicious (who would’ve thought!). They have really creative recipes and the vibe is fun. However, they are overpriced for Mexican food. I understand it’s more of a trendy, «foodie» place. Just be prepared to pay $ 11 – 13 for two tacos. But they are goooooood!

Masa is a little local place that seems to try really hard to be fancy but ends up being a little wah wah. I’d say my 2 stars could be bumped up to 2.5 but 3 felt a little high. To start, we ordered the elotes. Corn isn’t really in season but it was still really tasty. For dinner I ordered the pork and the avocado tacos. The pork was actually really good. It was juicy and flavorful. The avocado were ok. They were a little under seasoned but the avos were ripe and that’s important to me. My husband also had the pork, and he ordered the chicken. He ate them but said they were just ok. I tasted the chicken and it just tasted like bird. A weird description, I know, but that’s exactly what I tasted! No seasoning, no marinade, nothing. Just… bird. Anyway, the ambiance is nice, the décor is cute but the food is just so so.

Went because I’ve heard good things about it from co-​workers. When me and my girlfriend got there, our waitress got our drinks, gave us some more time to figure out what we wanted, came back 5 minutes later, got our order left and never returned. Sat for 40 minutes without anymore service, paid for the overpriced mediocre drink and left. Awful experience and will not be going back. We then went to Sweeto Burrito across the street and it was delicious and had our meal in minutes. I’ll be leaving Sweeto a 5 Star review now. Thanks!

I was very disappointed in Masa. We went there in November for my sisters birthday. It was extremely small and the carbonated drinks were awful. The staff tried to fix it but it did not work very well. The prices were extremely high for the little amount of food. Will not go there again

One of my favorite places to eat! You will not be disappointed. And the food is healthy! My favorite is the avocado tacos. Their guacamole is unreal, and basically everything on the menu is amazing. Don’t pass this place up, you must try!!!

Hoped our experience would be a lot better than it was based on other reviews.
I had the hanger steak tacos, and I didn’t think the flavor was all that, and I think that the «protein» (meat) as they call it, was neither seasoned or marinated that well. Not only that, the steak pieces were not tender at all, and in fact tough, hard to chew and just not that good. My wife also tried the sweet potato taco and I tried a taste of it and it was ok, but seemed like the cheese kind of overpowered the taste of the rest of the taco. I wouldn’t really recommended Masa, but I wouldn’t say don’t try it. Maybe it was just an off night for them.

Avocado Tacos — 10
Sweet Potato Tacos — 9
Hanger Steak Taco — 8.5
Chili Relleno — 8
Caso cheese dip — 7.5

I absolutely love their hanger steak tacos! They are honestly about the best thing I have ever eaten. The combination of flavors is just perfect and so different from anything else I have ever eaten. I also really like their brown rice, sounds silly but it is prepared in a different way and is just really yummy.
The only thing I would suggest is to add to the appetizer menu. They could really use more options. And get some better tortilla chips – those are little sad for such a nice restaurant.

Today I went with my family to eat at the MASA restaurant in Lindon, we always eat all organic and we were here because they have a sign outside that says ORGANIC, after eating I asked the waitress where they get the corn flour for the tortillas and she told me they buy Maseca flour. Seriously!!! This place is a pure lie, I didn’t dare to ask what oil they used to cook they make corn tortillas with Maseca flour and Maseca is not organic, is made with the worst CORN.
GMO CORN is number one in AMERICA to cause cancer, and also the flour tortillas is not organic either, I pay more to eat better and healthy and these idiots lie with their products, I no longer trust any restaurant that says organic, how the hell they give me a beef taco and tell me that is organic? thank you very much for poisoning my kids with your crappy and disgusting food, if you eat organic don’t eat here they are damn liars, It’s not healthy as they say and they just steal your money, who knows maybe nothing is organic„ I should complain to the service consumer of utah. Ooooh and I almost forgot the chips are Kirkland chips from Costco lol Go to this wedsite and educate yourself more about GMO CORN

Tried Masa for the first time and I was impressed. I always like getting modern, organic restaurants like this in Utah because it’s refreshing and unexpected here being that Utah is overrun with heavy meat and burger places.
Other reviews mentioned portion sizes being too small but I thought it was just right. Some people may want to order a side dish with their main to fill them up. Restaurants typically over do it anyway and it can be off-​putting. I’d say knowing it’s organic and homemade, paying more should be expected.
The only weird thing was that our dishes came out one by one. We had to wait about 5 – 10 minutes between each dish for the 4 of us. So each person sat and waited until the final person got their dish. Odd… they should definitely straighten that out.
Also other reviews mentioned them using Costco chips… if that’s true that’s terrible. I will order chips and salsa the next time to check it out.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the food is delicious and the décor is awesome.
We were greeted as we came in and brought to a table is the small but comfortable dining area. The waitress was very friendly and was knowledgeable about the menu.
The menu is limited but it is clear that they are focusing on quality of what they have over unneeded additional items. I had the shrimp tacos and my fiancé had the chicken tacos. Masa’s thing is that they claim to have fresh delicious food and do they ever. The toppings on the tacos were delicious and fresh and the meat was amazing. The shrimp while obviously shipped in tasted like I was eating in Puerto Peñasco and not Lindon UT.
While I would normally want a Corona or Dos Equis with this kind of food, sadly they do not serve beer or wine. They do however have a excellent selection of sodas from Mexico including one of my favorites Sangria Señoral and of course Mexican Coke. If you have never had Sangria Señoral I highly recommend it. It’s a lightly flavored grape soda that tastes nothing like what you expect when you hear the words grape soda.
All in all a delicious meal well worth a visit. One additional note, $ 12 may seem like a lot of cash to spend for two tacos. It isn’t.

I have been here several times. It’s a favorite of mine. Took my favorite man here for his first time. Heavenly. The food is the best every time!

So it took me a while to get in here because I have a picky spouse who had no intention of trying this, but we are so glad we did. I must report that it was a successful outing for both of us. He loved the hangar tacos and I absolutely loved the avocado tacos – there was sooo much flavor in both! The drinks are amazing too. Haven’t tried any appetizers or desserts yet but plan to next time.
The service was quick, servers and owner were really nice. Definitely recommend this place. A great place for a date night or girls/​guys night.

Super cute atmosphere & friendly staff. The queso is delish & good combo of flavors in the tacos. Locally sourced & organic. Def recommend.

I loved the food here! My fav was the sweet potato taco, but I loved the avocado one as well and enjoyed the bite of the hangry and one other one my hubby ordered. The fruit bowl was full of ripe fruit along with the sweetest mangoes… yum!
I don’t know why peeps are complaining about the tomatillo salsa. its the perfect compliment to the tacos. We also tried the cheese dip with plantains… oh my it was delish!
I am so glad to have this organic taco bar in my hood and will be going often!

The scene was an extended family dinner on a Friday night. So many different pallets, some much harder to please than others. Bottom line at Masa: something for everyone, and we all left happy! It’s tiny inside there, but they accommodated our large party like champs. We wanted for nothing, and were taken care of primarily by Carly who was delightful as she could be. Beautiful girl, inside and out.
It’s difficult to decide which aspect of Masa is the true shining star — the food or the service. Both were exceptional.
We did the chips and salsa for the whole party. Delicious tomatillo salsa, not the norm but really light and enjoyable. Great chips, too; just the right crispiness without too much salt or grease. Somehow all were immediately devoured, and refilled without missing a beat.
All but two of us ordered tacos — carnitas, chicken, avocado, shrimp, and their newly added taco, the sweet potato. Everything is organic, even locally sourced where possible. They had no problem with substitutions and our freaky requests. The odd people out ordered the quesadilla and the chili relleno, both of which were reportedly wonderful.
Fresh, lovely, thoughtful food is found here. We will be finding lots more of it in the future. Thank you for a lovely evening, Masa.

* I updated my rating to 1 star after the owner sent me a message calling me an F’ing Idiot. So yea. I would avoid this place…
I have a very strong opinion about trendy Utah county restaurants… This restaurant fits into this unfortunate category. More Hype then Flavor.
They push the whole organic food type agenda. I think that is a great thing if you can make the food taste good.
First off. They charge 2.00 for a bowl of chips and salsa. The chips were very familiar to me… They are Costco chips. They dump some Costco chips into a bowl and charge you 2 bucks… Not cool guys. The salsa was very bland. In my eyes they lose total credibility if they can’t even get the chips and salsa right.
The food came out very uneven to our group. My grandma waited 10 minutes after the first dish to get her food. We were basically done when she started.
I got the Beef and Carnitas tacos. The Carnitas was pretty good, and the corn tortillas were great. Use some of those and make some chips guys! The beef taco was interesting with green apple sliced up in it. I liked it, but I would have preferred more meat then apples.
We had a few desserts. The plantains were pretty tasty and the flan was meh.
There is an almost identical restaurant a few miles north of this establishment. They tout organic as well and I think they do a much better job.
Not planning on returning.

Came on a Saturday night around 5:45. Seated right away. We dealt with 2 staff members and the owner and everyone was incredibly nice and helpful. There was live music, a young 14 year old and her Dad who both had amazing voices. Small and intimate.
The owner greeted us and gave us the run down on the menu. We had been to Oteo which is extremely similar to this place except when given the two options we would absolutely return to Massa over Oteo. My reasons are as follows
1. Masa has better ambiance and live music on Saturday nights (most Saturday’s).
2. We got in and out of Masa in about 35 – 40 minutes while Oteo took well over an hour and a half, even considering Masa was more crowded.
3. Similar quality and taste of food in my opinion but my husband preferred Masa. After eating at Oteo he said he didn’t care to go back, after eating at Masa he said he liked it a lot and would go back. He lived in Mexico for some time and had some food at Masa that gave him good memories of Mexico (Elote).
All in all we enjoyed the variety. I don’t know what kind of chips they were and I don’t care if they were store bought or not, they were good. The rest of the food is clearly organic and you can taste it. We had a lot of food and tried a lot of things all for about 35 bucks. Not too pricey for me and my husband to eat a good organic meal.
We started with chips and green salsa and Elote. My husband had 3 hanger tacos and I had a pollo and an avocado taco. The owner had an extra fruit salad that he offered to us for free and boy was it amazing. We were well taken care of here and we will be returning.
*Another Unilocaler that left a review mentioned that he didn’t see any option other than to tip 20% and I can tell you that is absolutely inaccurate. You could select 10, 15, 20, 25, or «other». It was very simple and straight forward.

Great food, great intimate atmosphere with the friendliest service there is, seriously. My husband and I went to Masa tonight and lucked out with live music on Saturdays and we were really impressed with the menu! You can taste the freshness of the free range meat and organic produce! We got their house Mango Pineapple Mint drink which is incredible! The Granny salad was great too but the Hanger Steaks were the main event, amazing :)
The plantains for dessert were perfect!
All in all great for ANY occasion! We will come again!

This place was so awesome, when driving up it was a little weird to see a garage turned into a restaurant.
Food was so delicious, so much flavor, the presentation was beautiful.
Service was so spot on, always taken care of. Check out the pictures of the food. I ordered too much and had a nice leftover meal the following day.
My only complaint about this place was the live music, it was so loud I couldn’t hear my buddy speak. Little weird to have live music in such a small place with only a few tables.
When in the area I will definitely return.
