SINCE 2005
Opened in 2005, Masa is a contemporary homage to the tradition of Mexican cuisine. As the first

murals, and a glowing, back-lit bar. Situated on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis,Masa caters to
today’s urban, food-savvy crowd. Dedicated to preserving the art of Mexican cuisine,Masa maintains an
ongoing relationship with one of the foremost authorities on Mexican cooking, internationally
acclaimed Mexican chef, Patricia Quintana.
