Sobre Masa has carved out a special place in Brooklyn’s food scene, nestled in that industrial pocket of Bushwick on Harrison Place. This Michelin-recognized Mexican spot isn’t just another taco joint – it’s a love letter to authentic Mexican cuisine with a particular focus on house-made masa that’ll make you question every tortilla you’ve eaten before.

The space itself strikes that perfect balance between rustic warmth and industrial cool, with exposed brick walls and natural light flooding through the windows. Grab a seat at the bar and watch as they press fresh tortillas right before your eyes – a hypnotic process that’s worth the visit alone.

Their tacos are the real draw – especially the al pastor with its perfect balance of smoky-sweet pork and pineapple. The tlayudas (think Mexican pizza) are a revelation, and the corn-forward tetelas are packed with flavor. Don’t sleep on their drinks program either – their mezcal selection is seriously impressive, and the house margaritas use fresh-squeezed juice that makes all the difference.

What makes Sobre Masa special isn’t just the food, though – it’s the genuine hospitality that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into someone’s home in Oaxaca rather than a restaurant in Brooklyn. Come hungry and prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about Mexican cuisine.
