We’ll start with the least impressive and get to the best from there. In the back, there was another room that the restaurant opens when it gets a little crowded.įinally, there was a really cute and cozy covered back deck where most patrons were enjoying their meal. In this main room, there was a small selection of tables and chairs. The menu was posted above the counter where you order. Here, you immediately notice that Guy Fieri has been here for a Triple D episode (like I didn’t already know that). #hipstersĪfter about 20 minutes, we made it inside. Men dressed in business-casual attire with mustaches and sunglasses seemed to be the most common patrons. This wanted to be a mixed crowd, but they were all too similar. While in line, I heard 20-somethings talk on the phone about their jobs as maids, as well as their business investments. When we arrived on a Thursday at 7 p.m., there was a line out the door…which I expected- thanks Yelp! The building was old, certainly nothing fancy, had bars on the windows and doors, but was packed with hipsters. So, we walked there, safely, I might add. We were half a mile from Mas Tacas, my #1 East Nash restaurant I wanted to hit up. ![]() Perhaps we were in the cheapest part of East Nash? I am one to purchase the cheaper airbnb options…I mean, I need some money for food. We were surprised when the neighborhood looked pretty sketchy, smelled a little stinky, and a man riding a bicycle while holding a full on maul/ ax almost clipped our tires. If you know you want it all spicy put the serrano peppers in from the beginning, but then remove them.We rented an Airbnb “in the heart of East Nashville” and the reviews were great, especially doting on its location. In this case I left the peppers out to be added, so people could adjust their own level of heat. I made it a second time just to be sure it tasted just as good. This is a specially coveted soup in Nashville, so if you do make it, I’d love to hear what you think. You will be making your own broth, and pulling your own chicken. Serve broth with chicken and cilantro and let everyone add the accompaniments. Place all the ingredients in separate dishes. The best way to serve this soup is by assembly. I will not judge you, as there are those days this is all you have time for, and it’s still better than fast food. However, you can make it much quicker, by using a canned broth and a rotisserie chicken. Ideally, you’ll make this soup from scratch, simmering the chicken and making your own chicken broth. ![]() You Can Make this Mas Tacos Inspired Soup Slow or You Can Make it Fast This should be the most lime forward broth you’ve ever tasted and that’s what makes it so bright and cheery. The first flavor, however, that should come through is the lime. The grilled corn is mandatory, adding sweetness, and the cilantro is the spark. Like Mas Tacos, I used only white meat, but free to change that if you want a fattier broth or dark meat. Adjust the heat to your liking, but do include all of these other ingredients. If you are familiar with the original soup, it’s very kid friendly, because it’s not very spicy, and you can feel free to make it without the hot chile peppers for that milder version. This is my inspired version only a little spicier. It’s an ensemble soup, in that you must eat it as soon as the ingredients are assembled. It’s clean, comforting and perfectly balanced. This is not their recipe it’s my version, and it’s very close. I wrote about Mas Tacos Por Favor in East Nashville a few weeks ago. They jumped from truck to brick and mortar and are so amazing with their street food, they made the top two finalists for the Munchie People’s Choice awards for best tacos in the country.Īside from tacos, Mas Tacos is legendary for this soup.
