About Menu

Masalatina at 1800 W Yosemite Ave #355 in Manteca celebrates Latin American comfort food with influences from Mexico, El Salvador, Venezuela, Colombia, and San Antonio. Fresh corn masa is central to the menu, appearing in signature puffy tacos, pupusas, and arepas alongside empanadas, ceviche, loaded fries, salads, rice, beans, and desserts. The restaurant is especially known for its crispy made-to-order puffy tacos and hearty stuffed arepas.

Prices historically sat in a moderate range, with individual specialties around $5-$7 and larger plates roughly $18-$23, offering substantial portions and plenty of variety for the price. Fresh masa, grilled meats, avocado sauces, pickled onions, cotija cheese, vegetables, and bright citrus flavors give many dishes a satisfying balance of richness, freshness, crunch, and acidity.

Vegetarian choices include meat-free puffy tacos and loaded veggie fries, while salads provide lighter options. Gluten-free, vegan, and child-friendly choices have also been associated with the restaurant, though dietary requirements should always be confirmed directly. The menu works particularly well for casual lunches, dinners, family outings, and shared group meals rather than traditional breakfast. Note that current listings conflict on operating status, with the official site still active while several major directories mark Masalatina as permanently closed.

Menu Highlights

Puffy Taco Entrée Plate - Fresh corn masa is fried until airy and crisp, then filled with a choice of meat or vegetables. Its distinctive crunchy shell makes it one of Masalatina’s defining dishes.

Sinaloa-Style Puffy Taco - Crispy masa meets savory filling, cotija cheese, crema, lettuce, and lime-pickled red onion for a creamy, tangy, and refreshing finish.

Arepa Entrée Plate - Griddled white-corn cakes are stuffed generously and paired with zesty avocado guasacaca, creating a satisfying contrast between crisp edges and tender filling.

Carnitas Pupusa - Salvadoran-style corn masa combines savory pork with melted cheese, producing a soft, hearty bite with plenty of richness.

Asada Fries - Fries are piled with grilled beef, cheddar, tomato, avocado cream, sour cream, cilantro, and salsa for a bold, filling combination suited to sharing.

Fried Plantains with Black Beans - Sweet, caramelized plantains contrast beautifully with earthy black
