    This place is my go to for better Mexican food, it’s like modern aunthentic Mexican food. The carnitas & barbacoa tacos are the best. Bang for your buck is the margarita potent and has nice flavors. When I’m not in Mexico this is my spot!

    We really loved De Nada Cantina. We started with the Trio and a round of drinks. Definitely order the spicy pineapple cocktail. The tacos were delicious! Loved the carnitas, sweet potato, barbacoa tacos. The chorizo quesadilla was yummy. Had so much fun we bought t-shirts! Definitely make a reservation. The line was crazy long for couple of hours. Still, people seemed to be enjoying themselves while they waited. We will be back.

    Really cute place, very rustic and low key. Annoyances: We were seated in the very back of restaurant, outside next to an area where a truck unloaded bags of ice. They left their motor on for about 10 minutes. It really destroyed the ambience and soured the experience. Just inconsiderate of customers. Basically I felt like I was in an alley, but paying for food. Food is very good. Again, primal service. Food placed in plastic baskets with napkin liner. The eating utensils and napkins in another basket. Are baskets washed? The home made ginger ale was delicious. Calabacitas/mushroom tacos are great. I would go back, most likely not sit in loading dock area.

    De Nada has exceptional food and service. My only complaint is that their drinks are extra strong, which leads the noise level to continually climb. Reserve your table early or show up directly at open, or you will likely have a 45 minute wait.

    Everything was great but we had to move outside because the music was blasting inside and we could barely hear each other. Birria Quesadillas are delicious and the margs are great
