    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.

    The food was excellent. I had the salmon tacos, one of the chef's specials. I also had one of the specialty drinks for the month. Our server was very nice and came frequently to our table to ask if we needed anything. We were the last table to leave and they didn't rush us.
