Destination Brunch: MASA – South End

MASA is definitely one of the highlights of Boston’s South End. With a Southwestern influence, everything on their menu is fresh and full of flavor. MASA has a specious dining area as well as a vibrant bar scene with an extensive cocktail menu. The ambience is fun and the staff is very attentive. By far, MASA is my favorite place for brunch in the city. Their brunch is not only delicious but they have the BEST DEAL in town! Every weekend, in addition to the full brunch menu, MASA offers the Brunch Fiesta. For only $7.95 you get two-course brunch, complimentary coffee or tea and homemade corn breads.
   



MASA starts you off with a basket of homemade breads. The bread basket contains different types of delicious corn breads accompanied with a trio of spreads: butter with honey and molasses, chipotle cranberry, and jalapeno apricot.
Fresh Fruits with Granola and Yogurt





For the first course, my two favorites are the Fresh Fruits with granola and yogurt and the Caramelized Plantain Empanada. 



Caramelized Plantain Empanada






The empanada has a flakey yet doughy crust and is stuffed with plantains. It comes with a sweet maple sauce that gives it a perfect sweet taste.


For the second course, my favorites are the Huevos Rancheros and the Santa Fe Style Eggs Benedict. 
Huevos Rancheros


The Huevos Rancheros includes, black beans on the bottom, then some homemade soft tortillas, 2 eggs and on top, some cotija cheese and salsa.  










The Santa Fe Style Eggs Benedict includes, two poached eggs on top of two freshly baked biscuit and avocado all smothered in a deliciously spicy hollandaise sauce. Accompanied with Pico de Gallo salsa and sautéed potatoes.
