Masa Mama has been serving up bold, house-made tortillas and inventive tacos in Marda Loop since last fall.
Born from the Con Mi Taco pop-up, this taqueria blends tradition with creativity, featuring dishes like the Korean Fish Taco and the indulgent Mac Mama.
Masa Mama
Masa Mama, Calgary’s latest taqueria that recently set down roots in Marda Loop, is the brainchild of Andrew Ocasion, Mikko Tamarra and Nick Suche. What began as a weekend pop-up during the pandemic, formally known as Con Mi Taco, has now blossomed into a fusion of traditional and creative taco options. The name “Masa,” which refers to the dough used for fresh tortillas, reflects the team’s commitment to quality—eschewing store-bought tortillas for the labour-intensive, authentic process. The menu highlights Masa Guac, Korean Fish Taco and Aguachile Negro, blending cultures with ingredients like gochujang and maple syrup. One of many standouts for us was the Mac Mama, a beef and bacon patty with mac sauce that was fabulous. With a modern, intimate and laid-back design by Mera Studio Architects, Masa Mama is an approachable culinary gem.
