Masa Mama
Calgary / Canada / 2024
Masa Mama is a must-visit destination in Calgary’s vibrant Marda Loop, redefining the modern taqueria experience with a bold, 1970s-inspired aesthetic. Designed to blend nostalgia with contemporary sophistication, the restaurant’s interior evokes a sense of both timelessness and fresh modernity. The space features a seamless integration of rich wood paneling, custom millwork, and a warm, inviting color palette of amber, earthy greens, and ochres, which together create an effortlessly stylish and immersive atmosphere. This dynamic setting perfectly complements the innovative approach to food that Masa Mama is known for.
The design of the space is a celebration of layered textures and retro-modern appeal. Supple leather banquettes line the walls, offering both comfort and style, while geometric ceramic tiles add depth and visual intrigue to the floors and walls. Sculptural lighting fixtures create a moody, intimate ambiance that enhances the space’s warmth and inviting energy. Vintage decor pieces and stained glass accents introduce a touch of character and whimsy, while a striking abstract artwork serves as the focal point of the room, reinforcing the carefully curated aesthetic.
More than just a restaurant, Masa Mama has become a social hub where Calgary’s trendsetters, food enthusiasts, and cocktail aficionados gather to enjoy next-level tacos and craft cocktails. Whether it's for a lively night out with friends or a cozy, intimate dinner, the space offers an elevated yet laid-back vibe that encourages guests to relax and linger. With its impeccable design, thoughtful ambiance, and dynamic energy, Masa Mama is setting a new standard for dining in Calgary—one that is as visually captivating as it is delicious.
