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 and Indianapolis. 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.

As with any diner, you feel immediately comfortable and at ease. Like no other diner, it’s artsy and cool. The Cap City menu follows suit, with recognizable favorites like meatloaf receiving unexpected and delightful upscale twists, alongside trendier chef-driven dishes with big flavors. Desserts at this Cameron Mitchell Restaurant are retro-cool, taste better than you remember, and are showstopper-sized.

    This was our first experience at Marigold and we came away impressed. The space is comfortable and attractive, and it was possible to carry on a conversation easily. Service was attentive and graceful. We tried 2 salads and loved them both: Caesar and Deviled. The butter chicken and cottage pie were also nice. Only the beef and cheese pot pie was a dud. The dough was heavy and unpleasant and the beef filling was dry. No sign of the cheese could be detected. Hope Marigold does well and stays in business. It's a nice addition to downtown dining.

    This was my first time dining at Nada. The decor is colorful and fun. The salsa trio is a great starter and the shrimp tacos were plentiful and delicious. This is a great place if you are in the mood for some upscale Mexican food in Cincinnati.
