Energy, creativity, and the desire for a really great taco inspired the Nada concept. Downtown Cincinnati needed a place to go, revive, and relax after the busy pace of the metropolitan work scene. Since 2007, Nada has been delighting guests with craveable twists on the classics and border-blurring dishes inspired by food from around the globe. Nada has expanded to Columbus, Indianapolis, Nashville, and their first east coast installment in North Bethesda, MD. Each location is integrated into the local community and focuses on delivering an approachable, casual Mexican experience in a beautiful space. Snag guacamole and salsa to share, and dig in to punched-up tacos, Nada is all about great food and good times with amigos.

I visited Nada with a lively group of 9 and we were out for a bachelorette party. We were a bit disorganized/unprepared to order at times, so I really appreciated our server’s patience. We were happy with the amount of time spent there - of course we wanted to take our time and socialize but it was nice that the food came all together and drinks refilled quickly. Our food was great and just what we were hoping for. I wish we could have chosen the number of tacos in our entrees. We were headed somewhere else afterward and couldn’t take leftovers, so this resulted in a lot of wasted food. Please consider offering the lunch size at dinner!

Always a wonderful experience. We do not Live in Columbus. However, every time we are staying downtown, love going to Nada. Wonderful margaritas, food is excellent, and the ambiance is perfect.

I love this restaurant and will return but I was frustrated during this visit. I made a reservation 4 months ago and when we arrived, they made us wait 20 minutes after our reservation to be seated. We were attending a concert so had planned the timing for that purpose.

Had a great pre-game dinner. The restaurant filled very quickly due to a 7:00 hockey game and the staff handled the ‘rush’ beautifully. Great food and drinks. Great choice for us!

Really just underwhelming. Decided to try this restaurant after a Dispatch article claimed it was excellent upscale Mexican cuisine…it is unfortunately not. Queso had no flavor. Chicken enchiladas were filled mostly with couscous…yes couscous. Could not really find much chicken.

Service from ALL staff was very friendly and super accommodating. Truly one of the best service experiences I’ve had in a while. The salsas and queso were really good as were the black beans and rice. Every tasted really fresh. The only negative thing I have to say is the chicken in the tortilla soup was terrible. It was rubbery and fatty; just really weird. But other than that, can’t wait to go back! Thank you all for a great experience!

Service and food were mediocre at best. Asked hotel where we were staying for a recommendation to enjoy Day of the Dead and authentic Mexican food. Though recommended this was certainly not the place!!! I would not recommend 🥲
