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.

Simple menu and very nice and knowledgeable server. Always a good start. Food was good quality. Little pricey for enchiladas (23$) but reasonable for a downtown location. Overall great experience.

Food was good and above average. Sat waiting for a waiter for 20minutes. Manager then came over in a rush and said what do you want. Terrible service. Then got orders wrong. They did comp several things, but the running of this place is terrible. Food was just ok. Kids chicken taco was cold, clearly not freshly cooked. Generally the service in Indy is terrible, slow, and every place is short staffed.

Great service. Food is over priced but decent. The cigar bar next door makes Nada smell like cigars. I like cigars but that smell doesn’t go well with Mexican food.

Our waitress, Noni, was exceptional. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone got what they wanted and was happy throughout the experience. She was so great that we all wanted to invite her to join us - too bad she was working! All of her recommendations were spot on, and everything was delicious. I’m still thinking about how good the Brussels and the ceviche were! Thank you for a great evening Noni and Nada!!

2nd time here and hopefully the last time. The food is just ok and the prices for the food and drinks are steep. We ordered the guacamole appetizer, and I am not even sure it was an entire avocado on the plate for $14. I had the chicken quesadilla and it was probably the best of what was ordered. I will say that the service we had while dining this time was amazing! With as many options there are in downtown Indy, I am surprised this place continues to stay as busy as it is.

We have been here one time before, weren't impressed but weren't very disappointed. We went to a concert downtown and this was one of the only options so we thought we'd Rey it again. Ordered the queso as an appetizer, it came cold, not lukewarm, we mentioned it to the server, she brought another, asked if that one was better (about 5 minutes after she dropped it at the table and left quickly), told her about the same and had a cold chill to it which was confusing because it comes in a skillet and usually at other places those things are piping hot, and she asked if we wanted another, we said chips and salsa would be just fine, they brought a 3rd queso along with the chips and salsa. The 3rd was the exact same temp and they charged us for the chips and salsa which rubbed us the wrong way, we didn't say anything. Just won't be back.

We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Nada. Our party was rather large - 22 people - with several separate checks. Out waiter was on top of things! He did not seem one bit overwhelmed with what we were throwing at him and handled everything with incredible grace and patience. Thank you for a wonderful night! Oh! And, the food was incredible! Highly recommend!

My sister and I came in for our dinner reservation and were greeted by friendly staff and promptly seated. It was a bit busy as a large FFA convention was going on, keeping downtown restaurants hopping. Our cheerful waitress took our drink order and served our drinks right away. Our food came out shortly thereafter. We both ordered the chicken quesadillas which were nicely toasted and full of a good quantity of chicken and cheese. Some of the cheese had spilled out into the cooking surface and was a nice toasty brown. They were delicious! The overall experience was very positive and we will be back!

Lunch on game day was good. We were there right at opening. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The server was very friendly. Service was a little slow but we were not in a hurry. Guacamole appetizer was very good. We ordered the fish tacos and the crispy shrimp tacos. My daughter loved her shrimp tacos. Mine was very tasty but very salty. We did enjoy our lunches and would return. Cool modern vibe.

Last minute reservation while staying in downtown Indy. Didn’t realize there was multiple locations other than Cincy. Cool layout and location, simple menu and overall enjoyable! Slightly more pricey than probably should be but no real complains. The enchiladas were incredible!

I always enjoy dinner at Nada! This was the first time I’d been seated in the area to the right of the front doors and it was a bit loud and busy with people waiting to be seated. Next time I will remember to request the back dinning area. Aside from that, it was perfect. Excellent service, food, and drinks!

The brussel sprouts were fantastic (as long as you know they’re super far from regular brussel sprouts and very sweet). The chips and salsa were also fantastic. The Al pastor tacos were very greasy/oily. And the cauliflower (in the cauliflower tacos) was under seasoned. Wouldn’t order either again. But all in all, an ok meal with stellar starters.

Ambience was good, great for a small to medium sized group. We went during a weekday for dinner for a group of 10 and it was pretty busy still. Food was okay, was hoping for some more authenticity in the Mexican flavors. Staff was great and we had no issues with them.

It had been years since we were at NADA (pre-COVID) but we remembered a hip vibe with a modern Mexican food menu. The menu is stripped down (we should of researched more prior to going). The tacos were fine but just fine (think Taco Bell) and the tortilla shells (of all 4 diners) were stale tasting. The crispy Mahi was certainly crispy but that was due to them being mainly breading and very little fish. The Al Pastor tacos were seasoned but the pineapple was cut so small as to require a medical examination to find it. I couldn't tell the difference between the pineapple and the onion. My side of grilled street corn used obviously frozen corn and instead of bursting with favor, it was sad sunken kernals. The best part of the meal was the tortilla chips and salsa which the server brought us because we waited so long for our food (an hour after we sat down in a half empty restaurant). Our server disappeared for long periods of time and we had to ask for refills for tea and water. One of the diners at the table next to us could not do dairy and her meal came out covered in cheese after she left the server know when ordering. She looked for our server, Haili, for several minutes before flagging down another server to get her meal corrected. I did remember the churros being a fun experience previously so we were going to order them however our server never mentioned dessert and just brought us our bill. We will not be back.
