After introducing Boston to his unique brand of innovative Southwestern cuisine chef-owner Philip Aviles has partnered with his longtime general manager Mohamad El Zein to bring his signature flavor and style to the ‘burbs with the 2009 opening of Masa Southwest Bar & Grill in Woburn. A welcome addition to the neighborhood, the restaurant, just like its South End sister, offers a menu of contemporary cuisine, joining the flavors and cooking styles of the Southwest with local New England ingredients.
Diners can settle in the warm and inviting dining room, with its Spain-inspired mahogany accents and rustic handmade light fixtures, or perch at the bar for tapas and cocktails from the full bar which boasts one of the largest selections of tequilas around. With an award-winning wine list and inventive cocktails (like the infamous Masarita or the smoked jalapeno margarita), the Woburn outpost is bound to become a neighborhood nightlife destination.

A native of El Salvador, chef Jose Cardoza was drawn to cooking as a means to express himself, "I feel like an artist, but I don't know how to paint or make sculptures but I do know how to cook," he says.
With a culinary degree from the Central America Institute of Technology, Cardoza decided to come to the Northeast to finish his education at the Cambridge Culinary School in 2003. He then went on to hone his talent working in a wide range of establishments in the Greater Boston area, including The Palm Restaurant, East Coast Grill and Eastern Standard.
Cardoza brings his own unique interpretation to Masa's innovative Southwestern cuisine and enjoys using different peppers and other flavors to spice up his food. He also loves to put a twist on his favorite old-school dishes, thus creating a new experience for his diners who he feels are becoming more and more open to trying new things - like taking a chance on a new artist.
