My friend Anna first visited masa 14 a few weeks ago and has been raaaving about how good it was. So last night Anna and I, along with our friend Diana enjoyed a happy hour there.
Of course we began with drinks!
Anna and Diana had strawberry lemonades and I had a margarita. Delish! I love tequila in the summertime. You can be sure a few more of these made their way to our table over the course of the evening 
.
masa 14 does a bunch of different small plates…which pretty much all looked amazing! We narrowed it down to four to share between us.
Serrano Ham Flatbread – goat cheese / cantaloupe / arugula / truffle / lime
Of course I browsed the menu before we went and as soon as I saw this one I knew we had to get it! Anything with truffle wins my heart automatically but truffle with goat cheese, cantaloupe and arugula!? It was heaven.
Wagyu Beef and Pork Meatballs - cotija cheese / scallion / smoked tomato yuzu sauce
The meat was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They also had a really nice kick to them. And I love spice!
Crispy crab won ton rolls - cream cheese / corn / mushroom / shiso / truffle / spicy ponzu
These were probably my absolute favorite of the evening. So many amazing flavors that worked so well together. I loved the contrast of the crispy outside and warm, melty interior.
Black cod - chipotle miso / pickled onion
Like butter! For real. As Anna said, cod is not usually one of those menu items that stands out. But this particular piece made me realize how amazing this fish can be when done right.
I cannot say enough about how good this meal was…and we only just scratched the menu’s surface! It’s rare to find somewhere where everything is amazing, you know? I think I’ll just have to go again and again and again…
Good way to start the week, no?

What an amazing start to your week! That lemonade looks so pretty too
I think I’m in love too….YUM! Definitely a great start to the week!
Food porn at its finest.
My mouth is watering! Just looking at this food is satisfying. haha
It photographs incredibly! How did you get such good light?
I was worried about that so thanks for noticing! Luckily we were sat right in the window and it was still light outside. Made me very happy!
Oh yum! I actually really enjoy cod, but you’re right- it’s never really a stand-out item.
Way to go on the ‘rita- a great summertime treat for sure!
I am going to disagree with you…this was not a good way to start the week…this was a GREAT way to start the week!
Wow…an excellent start indeed! I love little shared plates and the ham flatbread looks beyond yummy.
What a great start to the week!! How fun! And those won ton rolls look amazing!
oh my, everything looks delicious! I’d love all those plates!
What an awesome way to start the week, everything looks so good! Especially the tequila haha.
haha, my fave too…let’s be honest
I love places that offer lots of small plates like that! The won tons look best to me.
I LOVE mixed drinks in the summer, but I’m all about the gin and tonic!! Yummy
Did that strawberry lemonade have alcohol in it? Cuz I could really learn to like that. ha.
oh it sure did! vodka
