MASA in Echo Park

MASA is located in Echo Park at 1800 West Sunset Blvd., LA CA. It's very cozy inside, with old school fabrics and familiar old world objects. The servers are young and cool, excited to make sure you enjoy yourself. I ordered the thin crust 5 cheese pizza and a potato leek soup. Yum! First, they brought this little round bread that to my surprise was a little sweet. They were quick to expalin that the place used to be a Cuban Bakery. (Yes, it was a very good Cuban bakery which I miss) The appetizer bread is in honor of what used to be there. How cool is that? A delicious bread and a homage all in one bite! The potato leek soup went perfectly with the bread. Fresh cut potatoes with the skin and the leek had a subtle earthiness. The pizza kicked but!. 5 cheeses? How could you go wrong? It was topped with Asiago, Gorgonzola, Mozzarella, Parmesan and in the center there was a dip-like mound of whipped goat cheese with chipotle. I'm getting hungry just writing about it.
