Heirloom corn tortillas, mezcal cocktails, Oaxacan dishes, & pastries
"A Brooklyn Mexican restaurant serving as a partner for the multi‑course, Oaxaca‑centered dinner series." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A tortilla shop serving tacos on colorful heirloom grain tortillas made in-house, highlighted as a shop that makes tortillas on colorful heirloom grain and serves tacos that reflect that craft." - Eater Staff
"A house‑nixtamalized operation that honors heirloom corn, delivering deeply flavored, traditionally made masa that elevates tortillas and other corn-based staples." - Caroline Hatchett
"Heirloom corn is revered at this Bushwick restaurant, where chef-owners and husband-and-wife Zack and Diana Wangeman nixtamalize, mill, and knead heritage Mexican corn into beautiful, soft tortillas in house. The tightly edited menu gives equal playing time to those tortillas in a variety of ways while also showcasing Chef Zack's fine dining chops. Traditional dishes range from carnitas to ceviche, while creative dishes like chicken liver tostadas with candied kumquats or wagyu tongue empanadas are boundary pushing in the very best way. Lamb belly barbacoa served with a fresh green chepicha salsa is a simple but satisfying meal. The vibrant, beautifully spiced salsas like avocado-lime, garlicy tuom, chile de arbol, and chile morita are deserve commercial bottling." - Michelin Inspector
"Williamsburg heirloom corn emporium, Sobre Masa, opened a tortilleria in Bushwick this week by the Morgan Avenue L train station. On top of serving a slew of tacos and cocktails, the space will also function as a tortilla factory, a grocery store with Mexican specialty items, and a cafe in the morning focusing on Oaxacan coffee and pastries. A fun fact: we smelled corn while writing this caption." - hannah albertine
