I drove down to Tacoma to visit and have dinner with Angela. It's been a while since the last time I drove south of Renton. I don't even know where the good restaurants are. She suggested Masa, a Mexican Restaurant that transforms into a bar as the night goes on. We got there pretty early, about 6:30, but the restaurant was already half full. The decor was nice, it was dark and a bit on the trendier side.
The menu offered the normal Mexican fare. Although I just ate tacos for lunch, I chose to get more for dinner. I got a taco and an enchilada. Angela ordered a Surf and Turf Appetizer. Overall, I enjoyed this restaurant. It reminded me a lot of the Matador or Pesos. If I lived in Tacoma, I'd be back.

MASA SURF AND TURF
Seared Steak Tips with Prawns in a Spicy Cream Sauce. Served with Tortillas.
CARNE ASADA TACO
