Mas Tacos Por Favor on McFerrin Avenue in Nashville’s East Nashville neighborhood has been a city taco institution since Teresa Mason opened it, building a menu around authentic Mexican street tacos and the kind of from-scratch quality that earns a Nashville restaurant its national food media reputation in a city that was just beginning to develop the food culture it would become known for. It appeared in Season 18, Episode 11 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Tennessee Holiday Traditions,” which aired December 16, 2013. Guy Fieri found a Nashville taqueria doing authentic Mexican tacos with the scratch-made commitment and community warmth that earns an East Nashville restaurant its devoted following across the city.

What to Eat
The Taco de Guisado — rotating braised meat fillings in fresh corn tortillas, the Mexican home cooking tradition applied to street taco format — are the signature that earns Mas Tacos its Nashville reputation. The Soup of the Day, made from scratch and rotating daily, is the item that proves the kitchen is doing more than just assembling tacos. The House-Made Horchata with cinnamon and rice milk is the drink that belongs alongside any taco order. The Chips and Salsa made from scratch are the snack worth ordering while you wait.
