Sobre Masa, translated from Spanish as "About Masa," is a nod to "sobremesa," the conversations shared over the table after a meal. "Masa" translates to corn dough, embodying our commitment to sparking discussions about the significance of corn and its impact on Mexican cuisine and culture. We strive to inspire these conversations during your visit to our restaurant or while enjoying our products.

Sobre Masa was founded with the purpose of promoting the land, farmers, and seeds of Mexico. As Mexican chefs in NYC, we encountered a problem: the lack of quality tortillas. In our quest to perfect the tortilla, we delved into the social and economic impact of heirloom corn. Sobre Masa was born from our desire to share the stories behind the diversity of Mexican corn and the dedication of those who grow it. We believe that working with heirloom seeds will not only produce the best tortillas but also restore the authentic flavors of Mexico.

Extending far beyond merely serving exceptional Mexican cuisine, Sobre Masa’s mission is to be a resounding voice of Mexico, celebrating its rich and diverse culture through the art of food.

We strive to preserve and share the ancient traditions that have shaped Mexican culinary heritage. We believe in adding value to Mexican cuisine by sourcing the finest ingredients, creating authentic recipes, and embracing the vibrant flavors that make our dishes exceptional. We take joy in seeing people come together, enjoy good food, and leave with smiles on their faces. At the heart of Sobre Masa, we are passionate about creating a corn culture. We are committed to educating, inspiring, and nurturing a love for corn in all its glorious forms, from tortillas to tamales, and beyond. We are a community where the traditions of Mexico come to life in New York City.
