Update: Ed's Diner reports that Masa is taking a break for some fine tuning. I called the restaurant at 11:45 a.m. Friday and asked when it would reopen, and was told possibly by Monday.

Erik Hanberg also writes about how his reservations for Saturday were canceled.

Professional food expert Ed Murrieta shares his first impressions of Masa today over at Ed's Diner.

For what it's worth, my untrained tastebuds enjoyed the smoked pork tacos and a Pacifico. I'd go back.

Some things that stood out at the bar:

  • Most expensive margarita: $38
  • Least expensive margarita: $7
  • Foie gras nachos: $18
  • Happy hour taco: $2 (from 3 to 6 p.m., Mondays through Fridays)
  • Number of tequilas: 72
  • How bartenders reach the top shelf: Wobbly aluminum ladder
  • Condition of tile floors when they get wet: Slippery
