Contemporary Mexican
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.

    We had a party of 11 go after the Indy 500 race at 8:15 PM. We had reservations and they only had us down for 8 people because their messaging system doesn’t work through Open Table. They seated us at a round booth and added 3 chairs. It was a tight fit, but we made it work. We ordered drinks and it took 35 minutes to get 1 round of drinks. They were definitely understaffed and didn’t apologize for anything. Very rude service staff and not attentive at all. They didn’t bring out our apps or dinner for another 45 min after each course. Once the food did arrive, it was good. However, they were out of a lot of the items on the menu. Now I see why they call it, “Nada!”

    Cool vibe. Food and service were both outstanding. We had to wait a while to be seated, despite having a reservation, but they made it up to us and were apologetic for not being ready when we arrived. Overall excellent experience.

    Requested by phone round table (not 1/2 moon). Understand that cannot always be accommodated - it was not. There was a good deal of pressure on our sever - which I understand. The I can’t be bothered with basic requests though I don’t. We ordered A round of drinks which was forgotten. We reordered and they were delivered. Seeing the writing on the wall my table nominated me to grab a round drinks from the bar and bring them back to the table. No complaints on my end. Apparently when the server saw that I grabbed drinks on my own his evening serving our table ended and the full press to leave was on. I am 4 bites into my meal and he asked if we needed boxes… tried to clear plates with forks in our hands. I’ve been to Nada fairly faithfully since opening- something will have to change for me to return. There are too many other good restaurants with comparable or better food, no 1/2 moon tables.

    The four of us ordered four different taco choices, each being full of flavor and beautifully served. Our sides of black beans and rice and street corn were perfect accompaniments. Audrey was an excellent server.

    My husband and I came here on a whim after realizing we wanted something other than a traditional steakhouse for dinner. He was in town for a conference and we found it kind of hard to find variety in the downtown area. The food, drinks, and service turned out to be wonderful! The atmosphere was also really lively for a Tuesday night. His colleague texted and said they wanted to join us about 15 minutes after we sat down, and the staff working at the host stand were VERY accommodating with helping us move to a bigger table. I would definitely come back here if we were in town again!! 10/10 would recommend.

    We celebrated my Aunt's 82nd birthday with about 20 people from my family and it was a blast! From start to finish the staff was kind, attentive and very accommodating to our needs. The food was good, the serve was efficient, the atmosphere was lively, welcoming and comfortable. We even sang happy birthday to her, nobody was bothered or affected. At the end of the night the restaurant brought a box of treats and a framed fact sheet with info about her birth-year (1941). She got a huge kick out of it! We were very pleased - and would totally plan another event there in the future. Thank you to all the staff who made the day for my Aunt so special.

    Had mother's day brunch. We had the first seating right after they opened at 11 am. Bright and airy atmosphere. Service was absolutely wonderful. Four of us were in a booth - very comfortable seating. The menu is interesting. For all those who feel you have had your fill of mexican food, you will find something refreshing with a twist. Don't forget to try out a cocktail.

    I had been wanting to go to Nada for many years. It wasn't what I expected. I'm a foodie and Taco Tue is one of my favorite things to do. However, there was nothing on the menu that sounded appetizing, so I opted for the trio chips and nachos. They weren't what I expected and left a fishy taste in my mouth. The alcoholic beverage I tried was an acquired taste.

    The margaritas were the best but food was just okay and overpriced. They do not give you complimentary salsa and chips. The salsa was very minimal and only enough for 4-5 chips and the queso appetizer was a waste of money. It was supposed to have extra trimmings but it was only 1/4 cup of cheese only for $12 bucks. I would recommend going for drinks but be sure to get a pitcher which our server didn’t recommend because it’s very small serving sizes and we would have gotten a better deal purchasing a pitcher.

    Indy needs more upscale Mexican options. Most neighborhood choices are decidedly plain, homogenous and with a narrow selection. Nada is more adventurous and well executed. All the tableware -- taco plates, napkin and fork, glass water bottles -- offer color and tastefulness that let you know you're eating something a chef and executive team designed, elevating the experience above family style. Some at our table appreciated the vegetarian choices absent from the ubiquitous haciendas and Red Habanero types. The sauces and flourishes accompanying most dishes were unique and very tasty. Purees, pickled onions, cremas. It was well done. Overall pricing was reasonable, but when 3 palm sized street tacos are in the $15-$23 range and fajitas are over $30, there could be some adjustments. The bill for one adult and 2 teenagers was $120. That's a semi-formal urban date night price. So, I really appreciated the creativity of the cuisine, but the pricing was a bit prideful.

    It was a nice place and the food was good but the host at the front was rude. We had a group of 8. 3 people arrived and 5 people were almost there (they were just walking from their hotel) in our group and the host would not seat us at our table until the rest of our party came. Not sure why, we even told him that they were coming and we would start ordering drinks at the table. Other than that our waitress was good and so was the food. The tacos and Mac and cheese were really good !
