Stylish speakeasy-style Mexican spot with excellent cocktails, good-but-uneven food, lively dark ambiance, and service that ranges from warm to occasionally slow.
Masa & Agave Cantina delivers a genuinely compelling speakeasy experience anchored by exceptional setting appeal and strong cocktail and tequila expertise. However, inconsistent food quality—ranging from excellent birria to under-seasoned sides—combined with slow bar service during peak hours and modest portions at premium prices prevent a higher grade. Best approached as a cocktail and ambiance destination rather than a full dining experience.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive ($16-$28 mains; $20 taco trio) which may surprise casual diners
