Didn't go for a long time, I've been in the neighborhood for 15 years and was bummed to see Carmello's vanish.<BR/><BR/>Masa's piza wasn't great at all. Too cakey, and the sausages were very Vons - and the tomatoes in the salad weren't even up to that standard. They were the pale, tasteless, mealy kind you get in east coast markets in the middle of winter.<BR/><BR/>We Dan Koeppelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555538446900097218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-1140716795728655912006-02-23T09:46:00.000-08:002006-02-23T09:46:00.000-08:00Hello Blogger!The last time I saw anything like th...Hello Blogger!<BR/><BR/>The last time I saw anything like this was a documentary on TV but the detail on this site has been worthwhile waiting for.

The burgers are flavorful and the buns are down right delicious. The salad dressing is nice spin on a mustard vinagrette and we find the lettuce always fresh. It is great to have them in the neighborhood. The owners are super friendly. The decor is lacking but the homey neighborhood feeling makes up for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-1103848317957094492004-12-23T16:31:00.000-08:002004-12-23T16:31:00.000-08:00carmello's was a cuban and not mexican bakery, but...carmello's was a cuban and not mexican bakery, but it doesn't matter to you guys, does it, we all look alike. and masa is overpriced and not that good. bummer. i miss carmello's coffee, too. they served me some salad and it was wilted and shitty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-1101001315687972192004-11-20T17:41:00.000-08:002004-11-20T17:41:00.000-08:00I would like to try dinner at Masa, but the fact t...I would like to try dinner at Masa, but the fact that the dining room has two televisions blaring from high up on the walls is just too much. I've walked in and right back out a couple of times now, and I wish they would realize that this is no way to attract people looking for a nice meal, especially in the evening.<br /><br />GET RID OF THE TELEVISIONS!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-1094590538360300312004-09-07T13:55:00.000-07:002004-09-07T13:55:00.000-07:00I will have to try some different baked goods, but...I will have to try some different baked goods, but the first test was a miserable failure. The baguette - inedible. I think the owner knows the baker is not good on bread as he said something about what a good pastry chef he is. This 'THING' I got from them could have induced blunt force trauma on anyone with a light tap on the head.
