There's nothing like a heaping handful of taco in during the warmer seasons, don't you think? Fresh ingredients, electrifying combinations of spices, perfectly seared tortillas...if you can think it, Mas Tacos Por Favor in Nashville, Tennessee has most likely already perfected it. This hole-in-the-wall food truck turned brick-and-mortar has a cult following of locals and tourists in kind. It's a cash-only eatery that's pivoted towards Venmo payments that has withstood the test of culinary time in the ever-changing Music City. Check it out below, and make time for a visit! Those pulled pork tacos are waiting.
Most folks are aware of the Cinderella story that is Mas Tacos. The now profoundly well-known eatery that has garnered accolades from Zagat, Time Out, and Lonely Planet began as a humble taco truck. Mas Tacos first operated from a 1974 Winnebago, and in 2010 made the shift to its McFerrin Street location.
This is where you'll find Nashville's answer to the Mexican street taco. Mas Tacos prides itself on its authenticity, The tortillas are warm and perfectly seared carriers of even better fillings, with options like spicy carne molida and quinoa-sweet potato.
Mas Tacos recently expanded its space to include a perfectly vibey bar area and more seating. Such is its taco popularity, that it's not rare to see a line stretch out to the street on any given day. What can we say? Folks need their tacos!
During seasons of social distancing, Mas Tacos has pivoted to serve from an on-site takeout window. If you simply can't wait another minute for your cast iron chicken taco, topped with tomatillo salsa and charred onions? Well. Then you don't have to. Just make sure to have your Venmo account all set up and ready for touchless pay before you go!
There's more than just tacos on the menu, but keep in mind that Mas Tacos keeps their offerings small and high-quality. Choose from the Mexican tortilla soup or perhaps hot and perfectly spiced elote if you're looking for an appetizer.
There's also a revolving calendar of specials, so keep an eye out for everything from fried avocado to cactus tacos on the menu. Tamale day is also really popular, so come early!
