East Nashville’s Mas Tacos has been a city favorite for a decade-plus, but the formerly cash-only business often has caught diners by surprise when they pulled out a card to pay for a meal. When the pandemic hit and Mas Tacos set up a robust takeout operation, they added a new option: Venmo. Now, just call in your order — for tacos, for pozole, for elotes and yes, YES, THOSE SWEET CREAM PLANTAINS — and then just send your payment via Venmo. When you arrive, hold up your phone and show the folks behind the counter your receipt. It’s contact-free and easy. STEVE CAVENDISH
