If you want a casual atmosphere that features delicious food to stuff your belly then Sobre Masa is where you should go. I love their salsas and the guacomole was some of the best I have ever had, The pork shank was delicious, juicy, tender. As well as the chicken polenta. The service was very attentive and the food came out quickly. Overall, I have already told friends about it and I will be going back.
