Affordable, flavorful tacos and soups in a lively East Nashville counter-service spot; great patio and drinks, but expect lines, some heat inside, and occasional service hiccups.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Mas Tacos Por Favor delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong food quality anchored by standout pork and fish tacos, crispy fried avocado, and comforting soups that earn genuine repeat loyalty. The lively patio and East Nashville charm create appealing destination energy, but service inconsistencies and occasional order-line confusion combined with operational friction (heat, peak-time lines) prevent grade A territory. Excellent value and a solid mezcal program round out a reliable, unpretentious taco experience that exceeds typical casual standards.
Restaurant Summary
The East Nashville cantina buzzes with lively patio energy and a rustic, lived-in charm. Expect a line at the window, music humming, and quick plates once you order. One diner summed it up: "Tacos were great and the elote was a must," while noting it can feel warm inside during rushes. Cooking leans classic taco-stand with elevated touches: crispy fried avocado, sweet-spiced elote, and comforting soups like chicken tortilla and pozole. Pork and fish tacos draw raves, with occasional notes that chicken can run bland without extra salsa. Drinks matter here too, from agua frescas to a solid mezcal lineup at the bar. Families do well: prices are friendly, the counter model is easy, and kids can eat familiar tacos and plantains. Menu reality check: simple tacos ($3-$4), sweet plantains, and elote are kid-hits; there is no formal kids menu, but portions and sides work well for sharing.
