Mas Taco Bar

I've tried the one in Fair oaks absolutely no good but I will say that the one in downtown Sacramento is phenomenal. Service was impeccable we put an order in for tacos & 2 minutes they were at our table. Not the best pozole but definitely not the worst. And the Churro Sunday was phenomenal I was not expecting that at all it was really good. It's very loud in this restaurant but why not everybody's having a good time.

Mas Taco Bar delivers fusion-forward nibbles along Sacramento’s historic R Street corridor—and it does not play by the rules. It’s complicated. Don’t let the word “taco” in the name fool you. Sure, Mas Taco will scratch that Mexican food itch, but they also sling creations inspired by everything from banh mi to butter chicken. Taco passport, anyone? ✈️🌮 From traditional starters to street food faves like grilled corn, to “burrito” bowls (the word burrito is on silent mode), to churro waffles—yes, churro waffles—Mas Taco’s got you covered from breakfast to dinner. The Potato Taco? A hearty taco , loaded with avo, roasted poblanos, fresno garlic oil, and all the cilantro. And while I’m not usually a fake meat kinda vegetarian, the Impossible Asada? Plant-based perfection. I’d swipe right again and again. 💚 The tacos can run a bit on the small side for $4 but they are delicious and worth it. Their drink menu? Always serving. But real talk—no margarita pitchers? A true crime. The Margaritas Gigantes try their best to compensate, but it’s just not the same. #sorrynotsorry Service is friendly and chill, but when it gets busy (and it will), expect a little delay. With neighbors like Ace of Spades, timing your visit is key. The vibe is vibrant, modern, and built for groups—inside or out. Parking, however? A mild nightmare. Bring patience, coins, or a rideshare app. How I break down my ⭐️ reviews: 1 - Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. 🗑️ 2 - Meh. Maybe if I’m close, and high. 😬 3 - Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. 🤷‍♀️ 4 - Hella solid. Planning my next visit. 😋 5 - Shut up! Take my money. Om Nom Nom. 🔥

Dec 2024: The tacos were not traditionally made, but I enjoyed the creative fusion of different add-ons that made them unique. The fries were quite delicious and definitely a highlight. The Michelada, however, was a bit too intense for my taste, with its spiciness and bitterness being slightly overpowering. Overall, I wouldn’t mind coming back to explore more of the menu and try different items!

Mas Taco Bar is a great spot with a unique and interesting taco selection. Each taco is around $4 and, while they’re on the smaller side, they’re packed with flavor—8 tacos were the perfect amount for me. The covered outdoor seating is ideal if you’re bringing kids along, and the restaurant has clean restrooms. Our waitress was wonderful, especially with the kids, helping them navigate their orders with patience and friendliness, which I really appreciated. There’s a good selection for kids too, with quesadillas, guac, chips, and fries. Highly recommend, especially if you’re dining with family!

I’ve been to the Mas Taco Bar twice and the food is decent, brunch would be my favorite compared to lunch. For the price of one taco it’s doable, the coffees are the best part. The service is okay both times we were forgotten about and there isn’t too many servers available. The seating outside feels great when it’s not too hot out.

Great selection of tacos, good selection of beers on tap, lively atmosphere, good location, decent prices, and fast, pleasant service. What's not to like? Recommend the potato and the ribeye tacos. Guacamole is good, too. Lots of fun choices - experiment & enjoy!

Mas Taco is definitely underrated, probably because there are so many really great food spots on R street already, but that's part of what makes this place great. They have delicious yet affordable tacos (and burrito bowls), also great for brunch and they're almost never crowded. If you're looking for somewhere with plenty of room at the bar or some nice outdoor seating with great tacos and cocktails, come here for sure 👌🏽

Good place to get a bite and a drink. Good atmosphere and nice staff. I had the pozole which I had been craving, it was not the best but it wasn’t bad. My favorite taco was the braised short rib taco. The al pastor was okay, good flavor but didn’t really taste like al pastor. Overall good flavor and good drinks.

zane was so sweet and helpful! very quick and informative. i will be back just for him!

Mas Taco Bar is one of those places I keep coming back to whenever I'm craving something fresh and flavorful. The elote is always a must (I get it off the cob). The drunken chicken tacos are my favorite taco on the menu, though any taco I've had here is good. It's the kind of spot where you end up ordering a little bit of everything just because it all looks too good to pass up. The vibe is casual, making it perfect for a laid-back lunch or an easy dinner with friends. Their margaritas are the perfect pairing for the tacos, and the staff always keep things moving quickly, even when it's busy. It's the kind of place where you can hang out for a while, share a few plates, and just enjoy the good energy.

Mas Taco Bar was a great find! We ended up here after wanting to eat at a different nearby restaurant but were disappointed to find out they were only serving brunch. Luckily, Mas Taco Bar serves both brunch and their regular taco menu on Saturdays! We got a selection of 6 tacos to enjoy. The braised short rib and ribeye steak taco were hands down our favorite. The crispy Thai beef was also amazing but a bit on the spicy side. The butter chicken taco was clever, but I'd probably skip it next time along with the Baja fish as it was just slightly under seasoned. The service here is mostly good, but it is seat yourself so I imagine sometimes it may take some time for someone to notice you if they are busy. Food did come out very quickly after ordering! The location is great with a beautiful indoor and patio space. We sat outside and it was a perfect day for lunch on the patio. I really loved Mas Tacos and although I'm not in Sacramento often, I do want to keep it in mind for future visits. There were a few bites here I know I'll be thinking about for a while!

We came on a late night to get some tacos since the other local taco restaurant has an INSANE line. The wait time for here was equally as long :( we waited about a little more than half an hour on their *text* wait line. I thought the tacos were very tasty but just very expensive. The flavor almost made up for the price but the price is just too much. Therefore, I cannot give this establishment a 5 star review, even though their flavor is there. You most likely won't be leaving for under $40 for a couples night out. TLDR/Bottom line: pretty good tacos but crazy prices

Came here for happy hour and we were so impressed! Great deals for HH for drinks and food. We had a wonderful server, there is great ambiance, and the food was great! We will definitely be back.

The margaritas are definitely made for two and the tacos are so flavorful and yummy. Definitely worth a try! Love how cute it looks inside!

Mas Taco Bar was recommended to me by a Sacramento Local, so I decided to give it a shot. First and foremost, This is a fusion taco bar, so don't expect authentic street style tacos here. We were on a mission and ordered a couple of them for a taste test. From favorite to my least favorite- *Korean Fried Chicken Taco- 4/5 The Bao bun was so soft, chicken was crispy and not greasy and the kimchi bought the whole taco together *Banh Mi Shrimp Taco -3.5/5 Wrapped in a Bao Bun, the elements of a Banh Mi definitely through. I wish it had more shrimp *Battered Fish Taco-3/5 Light & Crispy. Refreshing for a nice hot summer day. *Indian Butter Chicken- 2/5 Although I liked the idea behind this taco, it was my least favorite. To me the flavor profile was not giving Indian Butter chicken as it should have. The naan bread was a nice touch. Service was not great. But I would definitely give this place another try, more preferably on a busy day.

Was in the area with my cousin and wanted some tacos. It was slow for a Monday night. There was a sign that said: please seat yourself. So we grabbed ourselves some menus and picked a table. An old friend from high school was bartending so that was cool. There weren't many dining, about 3 servers running the show. We ordered right away and our food came out quick. We got a variety of tacos: al pastor, birria, shrimp banh mi, Baja fish, short rib and pork belly. I didn't have the al pastor or birria, but the others were delicious! Surprisingly I really enjoyed the shrimp banh mi inspired taco that came on a bao bun. Second fave was the Baja fish, as it had a creamy, tasty sauce. Overall, we got about 10 tacos and the guac/chips for around $70 tax and tip included. Our waters weren't refilled and it was tricky trying to get the server's attention, but we survived - no biggie. I'd definitely come back for taco tues!

We came here for the $3 tacos and $6 margaritas and they did not disappoint! I got the braised short rib and Korean fried chicken tacos and both were so yummy! The braised short rib was my favorite, the quality was amazing. We ordered the raspberry and lychee margaritas and while I didn't taste raspberries or lychee, the drink was really strong and did its job to get us tipsy! The service wasn't the best because it's kinda slow even when there aren't a lot of people around. The ambiance is fun and loud, cute for a casual place to catch up with friends.

Who wouldn't like more taco's? Well that is what Mas Taco Bar is all about! I have come in for lunch and dinner throughout the week and there is usually a spot at the bar for me. They also have extensive outdoor seating and tables inside. The decor is decidedly 'new Mexican' contemporary and bright. Service is always quick and friendly, and they usually have all the major sports games on. I really like the potato taco, it has just enough spice and that avocado cuts through it very well. Perfectly balanced bites. The beer chicken one was tasty too, but way too wet for the tortilla. I am slowly exploring the other options, there are many available and my appetite is small. The mocktails are pretty good too, but very sweet. Solid tacos at reasonable prices available at Mas Taco Bar.

Came here for the second time with my boyfriend for happy hour before our concert at Ace of Spades. We got there around 5:50PM, but luckily happy hour doesn't end until 6:05PM per our server! You HAVE to get the mas fries! So delicious and such a good deal when it is 1/2 off starters for happy hour. We've tried almost all of the tacos at this point, but our personal favorites were the crispy thai beef, fried fish, al pastor, and braised short rib. I also enjoyed the other tacos such as the birria, banh mi shrimp, Korean fried chicken, and Baja fish, but they weren't good enough to reorder next time in my opinion. We also ordered the peach and guava margarita and it was strong! Honestly I would not get this again. I preferred their chipotle mango margarita more from my previous visit. Lastly, service was very quick and accommodating. I didn't catch her name but she was very kind to keep checking up on us. We had a good experience trying all the cool fusion combos, we will be back again next time we're in the area.

I love how creative the tacos can be! Get the PORK BELLY TACO, you will thank me later! Don't forget to ask about the secret taco, it does change! The chips are full tostadas which is interesting but salted so well! The margaritas are amazing. Be careful around the 32 oz glass. Watermelon and mint is very refreshing. Fun environment for groups!

Overall: 3/5 Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Came here late night after Ace of Spades. Honestly, the food was really not that great. I will say the Pork Belly was tasty. Not super great, but it was solid. The Al Pastor Bowl was a miss. I didn't even eat half of it. The service was polite, not very attentive though. Great scenery, vibes and decor though. I'd eat the pork belly tacos again and try something else. I like the place, just think the food could use a little more authentic taste, my Al Pastor Bowl tasted like some who puts raisins in their potato salad made it lol. But I will give them another try

Mas Taco bar is a great spot for a dinner with friends! They have a stacked and unique menu, like their butter chicken taco and potato taco. Their chips and guac is one of my fave appetizers from Mas. Everything is very photogenic as well, great for pics! As far as flavor, the tacos don't pack too much of a punch. They taste great, but some of them may benefit from a nice sauce or salsa. Their marg menu is impressive. The watermelon basil is probably my favorite of the margs. Each time I have dined here, the service wasn't the most uplifting and welcoming. I understand because they are usually pretty busy. However, the service is usually quick and the food tastes fresh! This spot has an amazing outdoor patio, with heaters and picnic tables. Great summer vibes live here! There is street parking around the location, some free parking too. Overall, a great spot if you are looking for a fun dining experience with friends!

Very disappointed today...we ordered guacamole, salsa, and chips. Chet charged us for the guacamole and then again for salsa. I don't get it...there are squeezed bottles of salsa on the table and you charge extra for salsa??? I asked the server and was told yes they charge separate. This place is across the street from office, will think twice about going here...really felt ripped off.

Came to Mas Tacos as it was recommended by a local friend. We sat outside as we had our doxie with us. The restaurant is located right across from Ace of Spades. The food was delicious! Definitely would've been a 5 star review if we had better service. I tried going inside to let a waiter know we were out there but nobody came to me. We had to ask someone who was cleaning outside if they could come take our order.

Every time I come I fall more in love with this place!! Ambiance: Casual but classy It's self seating, it's a clean restaurant, also has clean bathrooms. Went in around 2pm on a Friday, the energy was definitely calm before the weekend storm. Music had a house groove or alternative rock thing going. Met the owner Daniel, really nice gentleman and took care of us, thank you Daniel! Decided to try different menu items this time because why not!? And it didn't disappoint. Drinks: Water 1. Watermelon Basil specialty Margarita - DELICIOUS- I would pay $12 for this because it's made with love. The flavor was great, comes with watermelon cubes and a basil leaf as garnish. The drink also comes with a sugar rimmed glass, nice touch. 2. Peach & guava specialty margarita - came with a lemon slice and a gummy peach ring as garnish, my husband loved that. (He's big on fruit candy) this drink also made with love. *Looking forward to trying out their other specialty margaritas here. Food: Appetizer - grilled corn on the cob (on or off the cob is a choice, we chose off the cob) This was tasty, the corn was cooked well, there was enough mayo and cheese to corn ratio and was enough to share for 2 as a starter Entrees: Drunken chicken bowl - the chicken is tender and has a mild flavor. The way it pulls apart reminds me of chicken being slow cooked for hours. Comes over white rice cilantro peppers and pickled onions. If you want some more heat then take a bite of the jalapeños that come with it! Fried chicken bowl made to order like the pork belly bowl (this is not on the menu but thank you for accommodating my fried chicken craving!) - the chicken was tossed in a sweet red sauce, the bowl came with pickled onions white rice/cilantro, and bell peppers. There is a nice combination of crunchy, savory, soft, tangy, fresh, sweet and then don't forget the punch of heat that is justtt right. (Definitely needed a drink to wash down the heat though. It burned so good lol) Dessert: Churro Sundae - it was our first time trying this dish and it was yummy! The churro comes fried in this spiral laid flat on the plate, 2 scoops of ice cream with whip and a cherry are on top and there's chocolate and caramel drizzled on the plate. The churro is crispy on the outside and as you get closer to the center it starts to get softer as it's soaked in some of the ice cream while you work on the edges. Our daughter loved it! Service: Our server was really sweet and everyone who came by our table was friendly. The food came out pretty quickly, at the time we were seated there were about 4 other tables sat and a few people at the bar. Will definitely be back!

For some reason yelp wont let me edit my previous review... so here's the rest... Battered fish taco ($3.15 during happy hour) was surprisingly full of fish, not all batter. Pork belly taco ($4.65) comes with about 4-5 chunks of pork which is lovely, but that single corn tortilla had a hard time doing its job under all that weight. The Birria taco ($4.95) came with 2 tortillas and held up nicely to the dipping sauce. Flavor was good.

I've always had great experiences at Mas Taco Bar! Seat yourself style seating, parking can be painful but location is prime in downtown. The over style of the restaurant is so cute, low lighting very decorative. I also appreciate they have an "outdoor" kinda seating, not really outdoors but inside with a view of the outside. They have a great and affordable happy hour, appetizers are absolutely delicious. I always do chips and guacamole or chips and salsa. Tried the habanero balls this time and got the corn on the cob, requesting it off the cob to make it easier to eat. All so delicious and so affordable too! The tacos are a little pricey but they are always super good. I really recommend the Korean fried chicken, Al pastor, and the bahn mi! Sooo yummy! Drinks are great here too, love the margaritas! Service can be hit or miss, I've gone with great service before but then have also had poor service too. I think it depends on how busy the place can get but the food does always come out quickly.

Food is still good just as before! But the better thing is their Friday and Saturday Night late night happy hour from 9pm-12pm for 6$ margaritas and 3$ tacos cause that is really good deal for late night eats and drinks. Lol you can even go drink next door at Snug after to continue the fun!

My friend and I can around 8pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. We got seat right away as well as our orders. We ordered the horchata espresso martini and the season special, Santa's Lil Secret. I recommend both. They were delicious. I ordered the Pork Belly Bowl, which was a pretty basic dish. The ambiance was cute and festive! WARNING: They do add an 18% service charge on your bill already! Always ask for a itemized receipt to verify. I didn't check and left an additional 18% tip.

If you like tacos, you'll like this place. It's not your traditional Mexican tacos but a variety of creative flavors and choices regarding meat and cultural styles. I had the pork belly and oyster taco. The vibe was very lively and waiter was petty attentive. I will definitely go back to try some of the other taco options!

We stumbled across this little spot while we were attending a concert at Ace of Spades. It's the perfect place to pop into for a quick cocktail and a little something to eat. My husband and I shared the mas fries and a couple street tacos. The tacos were small, but generously filled. They were quite tasty. The mad fries were definitely a shareable dish. Perfect for two people. The fries were nice and crispy so the topping s didn't make them soggy. Our server was great too!

Never, for the love of God, order the "potato taco". If you do they will bring you hungry man vegatable sides on a taco shell. IMO, do yourself a favor and go to Taco Bell for a much better experience.

I came here with my best friend, she loves the Baja fish tacos. Of course everyone is always friendly, I'm not sure if it's the owner or the manager but he seated us and took our drink orders and our initial order for appetizers. I got a mocktail and yes it was freaking wonderful!!!! My mocktail was better than the alcohol version. I got the watermelon basil margarita and it was so refreshing!!!!! Now I will say the service was slower than usual but hey we can't be perfect all the time, so I'll charge it to their head and not their heart. For starters I got the guac and the corn in the cob, except I did get mine off the cob, it was wonderful per usual. I tried something different this time, I got the fried oyster taco, braised short rib on a laughing bun, and the steak and egg taco and of course my friend got the Baja fish taco. Let me start off and say the steak and egg taco is no longer in the menu, but I was compelled to get this taco after I read reviews about it, it is definitely a must try!!! Steak was seasoned and juicy, I did expect it to be seasoned a little differently but still pretty good. The oyster taco was just okay, it lacked a little flavor compared to the other tacos sadly. The braised short rib on the laughing bun was pretty good, the meat was tender and delicious and I like the laughing bun. And the star of the show the Baja fish never disappoints, it's flavorful and speaks for itself, so just get it and thank me later, or not. Oh and last but not least I got the churro, they weren't the prettiest but it was an okay treat. It tasted like a churro and they had carmel and chocolate sauce.

Yes, yes, yes! I tried this place for the first time before I went to a concert across the street and it was so good. There's a close by parking garage which is perfect, so after you're done eating, you don't have to walk toooo far lol. I ordered Indian butter chicken tacos and elote, it was all so so good! I cannot wait to go back and try some new options! : oohdearfoodie

Alexis is the best server! Great vibes and awesome service! Good food and a great happy hour as well.

Mas Taco is the place to go if you would like to understand how it feels to be invisible. Grab a table and wait for ages without any acknowledgment and decide to abandon the place after no sign of help. This has happened three times. When you do get lucky, the food is pretty good.

Ordered spicy Caesar salad and it was very tasty and not too spicy. Loved the crunch. Staff was ok but when I first arrived I had to wait awhile to be acknowledged by the bartender to pick up my order. Thought that was a bit rude. I get he might've been busy but a simple I'll be right with you would've been nice

All their tacos are to die for but the Korean one is probably one of my favorite. The service is always quick and efficient and you can't go wrong with a $5 margarita on Tuesdays!

I enjoy Mas tacos. I love how they have unique tacos and parking is easy. I also love their happy hour, Monday thru Friday 3-6 ! Good place to meet with friends for drinks and tacos. I like their pork belly, short rib and oyster tacos.

Love such a variety of tacos! You can always find your food mood with so many choices. My husband cannot get enough of the Banh Mi Shrimp taco and ends up ordering more every time. I am partial to the Drunken Chicken taco which is also excellent as a bowl with brown rice and peppers. Service here has always been spot on and friendly. You get your food quickly and can count on plenty of check backs. With a casual urban vibe that sports plenty of indoor/outdoor seating and great prices you can't go wrong here.

I'm a bit tough when it comes to taco since I'm from southern Cali, have lived in Miami, been to Mexico many times. First I like the location, it's fun to sit outside, the service was good, cocktail not sure because I just had tequila soda, tacos they have many different flavors of tacos but their tortilla is just plain store bought tortilla (the most boring one) not house made, my fav is usually el pastor but it wasn't all great here, banh mi shrimp taco the server recommended was ok, everything was just ok, not bad but not great.

I love that this place will call anything a taco. Chinese bao with meat? That's a taco. Also, this is home to the laziest chips and salsa this side of the Rio Grande. They are just tostada rounds that you break pieces off of. Honestly, I didn't respect much of this place. They own Firestone and Iron Horse and those are middling as well. I shan't be back.

Hadn't been here in a while and decided to try a few new tacos. I ordered the potato and Korean chicken, which was very good. My husband had the Birria tacos. He also ordered the guacamole and Elote both were very good our server. Sammy was very friendly. You were a little bummed because we got there way before six for happy hour. We're not seated until after six so we did not get happy hour prices. The restaurant is cute And has a bar.

This is our favorite location to visit in Sacramento, came in for a lunch date. The ambiance was very mello, I ordered a battered fish taco it was very good and the fish was a good portion, I also ordered a birria taco and it was very tasty. My husband really enjoyed the Bahn mi shrimp taco which was a fusion taco. He accompanied it with a modelo draft which was cold and hit the spot! The service was quick, the server was super nice and the prices were amazing.

I went last Taco Tuesday to Mas Taco in Downtown Sac. We were immediately greeted by the bartender as we walked in and she informed us of their special. Two tacos and a margarita for $15.00! What a deal!! They have a variety of tacos and margaritas along with other food items! It's a great first date or hanging with the friends type of environment!

Okay came to this place on a whim on a Friday night and was heading out since my friend hadn't arrived and asked for the check I order ONE drink for $12 first the drink didn't arrive with the garnishments that were listed on the menu so I wasn't sure I had the right drink. No biggie... the lady said they don't add them in the evening, weird but okay. This is what really left a bad taste in my mouth. After asking to be checked out my server returned with the card scanner left it on the table and it read $15.40 with the various tip amounts. Confused the menu pricing may have been different than what I was charged since there's no way tax was that much I flagged the server over and asked hey was there $3+ added for tax?? Seriously confused if I was overcharged by accident. Her response oh I can get you a receipt this is where I started to get a bit annoyed cause girl YOU know why my bill is so high and are playing dumb. She returns with the itemized bill and I see tan 18% service charge. Let's be clear I was going to tip 20% so confused I asked wait what's the service charge her response oh um it's for the staff front and back. So did you guys automatically add gratuity? Listen it's not that deep but 1. I'm not about to tip on top of the tip for legit mediocre service and 2. I don't like that she tried to play dumb knowing that there was an added gratuity already on the ticket. I'm all for tipping service workers especially when you are dining in but I absolutely hate that this place tried to slide the charge on the bill without saying anything as that came across as real scammer vibes.

Wish I could give it a 0.Waited for a table and all the workers just watched and looked over but didn't walk over to help. Place doesn't close for 2 hours and a bunch of empty tables so not sure what the issue is

Food was good however the restaurant is still charging an 18% service charge after July 1, 20204 prohibiting restaurants from doing so in the state of California.

This is my go to spot when we visit downtown Sac. The late night happy hour is worth it!

Tacos were mediocre at best. Don't feel the need to return. Plus, parking can be a nightmare on busy days.

Great place to hang out with friends and grab a few drinks! Banh mi shrimp tacos 5/5- the best taco out of all of their options. They use a bao bun instead of a tortilla. The shrimp is crispy and flavorful. I can eat like 3 of these! Birria Taco- 2/5 the taco shell was not good. It was like crispy and stale tasting. Did not taste like the typical corn tortilla shells used. The consume was not flavorful, tasted watery and lacking flavor. Secret taco- 2/5 the soft shell crab was crispy! But the sauce they used killed the taco. It was way too sweet! I tried to put their hot sauces to hopefully make it taste better but the sweetness was too much. Goblet margarita drink -5/5, big bowl/cup, great to share with a friend or two! Or drink it yourself!

Wanted to get tacos for dinner and this place popped up on yelp. The place is super cute, very casual and not busy on a Monday evening We sat anywhere we wanted and then the waitress came over. I am a vegetarian and so finding GOOD taco places for my fiancé and myself are tough bc he's picky and usually the very authentic taco trucks do not make vegetarian tacos. I had the impossible asada and 2 mushroom. I thought they were good. My fiancé had the drunken chicken, fish and regular asada which he said were okay and average. The margarita was good and I liked the guac. I wish the chips were cut though. Not sure if I would go back since I'd like to try other taco places that weren't this expensive (we paid $70 for the two of us).

We came in with a party of 12. The food that was brought was all mixed up and some food was missing. Service took forever to come and help so we just dealt with what we had. We got the bill, and the bill was all wrong. Food was ok. Probably not coming back.

Quick outing on my way to the airport to meet up with an old friend. Great drinks and easy and delicious tacos! I wish I had had more time to savor everything. Also, probably great to visit in spring when you can sit outdoors and soak up some sun.

Took my friend from outa town and was served by a girl name Von. She so nice and sweet and I can't wait to come back and bring my friend when she's there again.

I've visited the R street location of Mas Taco Bar at least five times now. If you enjoy an adult bevy, Margarita Monday is the best day to visit when they have $6 specialty Margs all day. The top shelf Marg is a little more $ and def worth the upgrade... my favorite is the Chipotle Mango - delish! I usually get one of the monthly 'secret' tacos and one of the classics when I visit. Last month, the secret taco was soft shell crab on a corn tortilla, topped with Asian BBQ sauce, diced tomato, shredded lettuce, and spicy aioli. The crab was good but you could barely taste b/c there was too much sauce on it. I am guessing this was a case of an accidental heavy hand in the kitchen. My favorite classic tacos are the: Pork Al Pastor - seasoned pork, pineapple salsa, cilantro. Banh Mi Shrimp - pickled carrots, jalapeño, Asian bbq sauce, laughing bun, cilantro. Battered Fish spicy avocado crema, cabbage, cilantro I also highly, HIGHLY, recommend the Habanero Fire Balls starter - jalapeños, cream cheese, bacon, pepperjack cheese fried up to perfection. Starters are half off 3-6 pm Mon-Fri. A steal!! The vibe inside is super chill, I usually belly up to the bar for happy hour. The bartenders are nice and service is attentive, they take good care of you. Plentiful outside seating too. I wish R St was still closed to traffic, that was one silver lining of the pandemic.

Friendly and fun staff! Drinks were refreshing and tasty. They could've used a little more lovin with the portion size for protein and veggies to make a fuller tacos, but twas' simple and had good flavor. Decor was warm and inviting. No reso needed on a Tuesday night. I'd recommend getting there early as last call for food is at 8:30pm.
