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.

    This place never disappoints. Everything is so good. Service is great. Pork tacos are out of this world! Chicken enchiladas were really good. The donuts were sublime!

    The server was nice but the service was on the slow side. The appetizer and my wife's salad was good but my fajita chicken and steak was overcooked and dry.

    Always a great spot to eat before a show. Some of our orders got mixed up but the staff was very conscientious about fixing it. Cauliflower tacos were disappointing but fish was delicious. Couldn’t believe they charged $14 for a single scoop of guacamole. Absolutely insane. Just stick with the salsa.

    The food and service were next level! We are around 5 so it wasn’t overly crowded, the staff was very friendly and helpful and even gave great recommendations since it was our first time dining with them. The tacos Al pastor was some of the best I’ve ever had and the guac was amazing. I highly recommend and will make this a before or after game staple moving forward!

    Food was pretty good and the chefs were able to accommodate our gluten free dietary needs. It is pretty expensive for what you get, but I expected that from other reviewers. We did have to ask for a bit, including water. Shrimp tacos and chicken tacos were a hit! Shrimp fajitas were a little lackluster, but the toppings provided were great! Nice atmosphere and appeared clean. Convenient location to the Aronoff among other fun things in Cincinnati. Valet parking available. Overall, a nice dinner out.

    The food was delicious. I highly recommend the brussels sprouts is an appetizer. I will say the service was very disappointing. I felt that our server was very slow and did not pay much attention to us. We had to often asked for service

    I was there for 50 minutes and never received my drink order, despite the fact the rest of the table received theirs. I had to speak to the server three times and the manager twice. Was just told the bar was backed up, despite the fact the rest of the table got their orders. Finally had to go to the bar and place the order myself. The food was cold and mediocre at best. I have eaten here many times before, but doubt I’ll be back.

    Very nice place. Has outdoor seating. The first floor, where the bar is, is a little loud but the second floor was perfect. The staff is really wonderful. The fact that it is just outside the door of the Aronoff Center is perfect.

    Nada has been a favorite of my family’s since they opened. A highlight has always been sitting outside in their wonderful outside dining area. Last night, our experience was horrible. It was a 3-ring circus. There was so much noise coming from all over - a drummer in front of their restaurant, a homeless woman with a microphone yammering on non-stop, Nadia’s own speakers with loud music blaring and the usual motorcycle clusters going down the street. It was anything but enjoyable. It was miserable. Hopefully, this was just a rare situation with all of those things happening at the same time. We were wondering if Nada has any recourse to do something about the drummer and microphone lady?! Are there no longer noise ordinances in the city?! If not, we will really miss our summer dinners at our beloved Nada.

    Both tacos ordered were underwhelming, Baja fish, and shrimp arugula. The shrimp one was especially disappointing after being recommended by our server....it had absolutely no taste. Baja fish tasted like frozen fish sticks. On a positive note, both sides ordered, street corn, beans and rice, were the highlight of the lunch. There also was mixup with our credit card when we went to pay the check, (still not sure what happened), but it had to be run a second time. Hopefully, we will not be charged twice, I will be checking. It had been awhile since dining at Nada, and it just did not seem to be up to the quality of food and dining experience of our past experiences. Sorry, we most likely won't be back, and we patronize the Aronoff frequently.

    Service was slow. It took about an hour to get our food ordered and received. When it did arrive, it was hot and very tasty. We then had an issue with our check. We were charged with drinks that had been ordered by another table who may have left without paying their bill. We were told our bill was corrected and a new receipt was provided that i signed. Overall good food and a story for later.

    It’s been two years since we were able to visit Cincinnati, but every time we come here, we always make a point to go to Nada! While the menu has changed, the quality of the food, the creativity and the service remain stellar. The drinks, the appetizers, the entrées, desserts and service was top-notch.

    The food and service were good but it is expensive. Over $30.00 for one order of steak fajitas. Along with $14.00 for one cup of guacamole and one beer: $80.00 for lunch with tip. It's good but not that good.

    Good albeit unoriginal food served in small portions, so ultimately way over priced for what you get. Extremely loud environment where we could not hear ourselves sitting across from each other. In the end, I don’t think the convenience of its location next to the theater was is worth the price.
