Masa & Agave is a speakeasy-style cantina hidden below stairs at the historic Hotel Ivy in Downtown Minneapolis. Worshipped as the Aztec gods of fertility and long life, venerated for their powers of sustenance, corn masa and agave have been central to Mexican culture and cuisine since ancient times. Using authentic flavors and techniques, we prepare corn masa starters and Mexico City-style tacos that celebrate Mexico’s bustling cantinas. Our collection of agave spirits pays homage to the jimadores and mezcaleros who have labored over their craft for generations. Gather for a copita or two, or try one of our Margaritas – Tradicionale, Tamarindo, Passionfruit y mas! Salud!
