Nada

Love, love the Chile-​Mango margarita. Tacos are they flavorful. Enjoy the ambiance and when the weather is nicer the restaurant has a really nice outdoor setting. Price just right even though the restaurant is downtown.

Setting of restaurant is super cute and trendy. Prices on the higher end for the little that you get. Went on a Saturday night. My friend and I sat at the bar because we were told the wait was going to be an hour and a half for an indoor table!
I got the kale Caesar salad expecting it to cover my plate and it probably only covered a fourth of the plate. I even asked the bar tender, «this is all I get?!» BUT it was suuuuper good. A little on the spicy side too. But I would definitely get it again. Probably just order something else along with my salad LoL.
My friend got the just chicken and cheese quesadillas. Really Good too! So at this restaurant you’re definitely paying for quality over quantity.
YUM!

I went to Nada on Saturday evening and with high hopes since I have been deprived of excellent Mexican food since moving from Texas. The food here was good, but I won’t be in a hurry to return for it. I felt the price did not match with the food as well as the price of drinks. Again, not saying anything was bad but, seemed a bit overpriced for me. $ 85 for some tacos and three SMALL margaritta’s… eh, not gonna happen again.
The service was good and quick and the décor was nice. I enjoyed it but like I said, not worth the $$. I could see this being a good happy hour spot to sit at the bar for a drink but that’s about it for me.

Went to Nada today for lunch. Let me start by saying how impressed I was with the service. It was terrific.
I think the prices are a bit high for what they serve ($ 7 cup of chicken tortilla soup), and they charge for chips and salsa. With that said though, the food tastes great.
I enjoy going here for a change of pace when dining downtown. It’s a nice atmosphere with great service.

I really love going to Nada. I have been here for date nights, a bachelorette dinner, small group dinners out… I have never had a bad experience. Their food is delicious. I particularly love their chips and queso/​guac/​salsa, fruit margaritas, and chicken and pork belly tacos. The ambiance of the restaurant itself is really enjoyable. Service has always been friendly when I’ve been and I will keep coming back here again and again.

After all the hype of Nada I decided to see for myself what all the rave was about. A friend and I arrived on a Tuesday about 6 PM and were seated immediately, we were greeted by smiles and an upscale modern atmosphere. It was bright, it was colorful, and the smells were playing with our empty stomachs!
We were seated right next to the action. We had full view of the kitchen and got to see the prep and plating first hand!
Our server was very friendly and knowledgable, patient enough to explain all their top dishes. After trying to decide what to get we opted for chips and salsa, Pork Belly tacos, Pastor tacos, and Arrachera tacos because why not!
The dishes came out pretty quickly. Everything was freshly made in house, chips were crunchy and light and we had as many refills as we wanted. The tacos were delicious, the pastor and Arrachera melted in your mouth and the combinations of flavors really brought it home. The pork belly was probably my favorite, with the combination of crunch, pickled onions and peppers, and that Diablo sauce I was in heaven.
Perfect location for a night out on the town, I’ll be back to try the brunch!

This place is amazing, from top to bottom!
The food is delicious, service is great, location is prime, and the overall feel of the place is fantastic!
We loved the Guacamole, Pork Belly Tacos, Pastor Tacos and the Barbacoa Tacos!
Can’t wait to go back!

Amazing Brunch!!! I loved the enchiladas, mimosas made right (just a splash of orange juice), and great service as usual. They take reservations unlike many other restaurants in the area.

Nada provides a consistently good dining experience despite almost no change in the menu for over five years. It is surprising that it remains as successful as it does with so many great new, creative dining options springing up around it.
Some of the dishes were still as good as they were when the restaurant opened but others such as the chocolate torte were closer to what I would expect from T.G.I. Friday’s. Sadly, it was lukewarm at best and not nearly as good as I remembered it.
That said, the ambiance is still great and service remains at a high level despite what appears to be relatively high turn over (i.e. I never see the same faces when I go in every few months).
Bottom line: it is still a fun place to go out in the city for good food, good drinks, and an affordable dining experience.

Have eaten here a couple of times, most recently for Sunday brunch. I enjoyed the barbacoa tacos and my mum had the huevos rancheros. Our party was served really well, friendly staff, and it was a nice, leisurely and unhurried atmosphere. Really enjoyed Nada and will come back again.

I order 2 salads with chicken to go thinking it would be a great after workout meal for my wife and I. Let’s just say for $ 25 ($ 16 salads $ 9 for adding chicken) this is hardly what I expected and this is not at all acceptable.

Appetizer: Chips n salsa — delicious salsa. The chips n salsa comes w three different salsa– red traditional, verde: tomatillo and habanero. I loved the habanero salsa which had some fresh garlic in it. Chips were made in house. Only Down side was too much salt on the chips!
Chicken taquitos were amazing. Loved the crispy outside but again, too much salt!
Main entrée — shrimp tacos. Delicious, comes w three shrimp tacos, the shrimp paired up w argula was amazing!
Chicken w corn enchiladas– just ok.
Dessert — loved the chorros. They were flakey on the outside n soft on the inside w two tasty dipping sauce. Think both sauce were chocolate based, one with banana liquor flavoring. Loved it so much I had to order two servings! Each one comes w about 5 small chorros. Well with it!

Came here with a group for work– I am not from the area so they selected to location and we were very pleased with everything. Guac queso and salsa were very yummy. Margaritas were also good can’t remember what I had but it had a spicy kick to it and was delicious. Some people in the party though complained theirs were too sweet.
Fish tacos were good (barrio in Cleveland is better) I would get them again if I came back. Someone got the pork belly (bacon) tacos which I wish I got and would suggest if you can’t make a decision !

Excellent Tacos fait maison. Servis chaud avec des accompagnements délicieux.
Le Restaurant est décoré avec gout, très original !
Je recommande vivement !

There are so many things that make Nada great I’m not even sure where to begin. It was my pick to celebrate my big birthday (I won’t say which one, thank you very much!) without ever having gone there because from all I heard I was pretty sure it would be amazing. Yep, they were right.
We had a group of 12 for Saturday brunch. I made a reservation a couple weeks out and even then it was almost booked up, so remember that if you’re taking a crowd. They sat us upstairs at a large table by the bar (smart people, those Nada staff). My mom is handicapped but that was no big deal as they have an elevator and we were able to wheel her right up to the table. The atmosphere is bright and fun — exactly the place to go for day drinking after sleeping in! And day drink we did. The cocktails are fabulous. Between everyone at the table I think we sampled every one on the menu, but my favorite was the Nadarita. We kept ordering them so they started bringing them in bottles! Don’t judge, it was my birthday.
We got the fresh guac, salsas and gazpacho for starters. Oh. Em. Gee. I love gazpacho but hate the work so that was a real treat. I had a really hard time choosing what to order because I really just wanted all the things. I landed on Eggs Goettadicto, because Cincinnati. And every time goetta is on the menu in a creative way I must order it. It did not disappoint! So many unexpected flavors. My dad ordered the bacon and eggs tacos, which I sampled and loved as well. The pork belly was perfectly crispy and so good with the gooey egg… Excuse me while I clean the drool off my keyboard!

New menu/​look was great. The queso and salsa were excellent, along with the mac & cheese as always. Tacos were good. Prices are fair for the quality/​quantity.
Our waiter was new and nervous. He spilled an entire red shot all over me and my dress. I didn’t make a big deal of it but assumed there would be some kind of comp on our bill for it – which there was not.
Wish there was a larger selection of drinks you can order in pitcher form – it was only an option for the traditional margarita. Churro dessert was cold.

Solid Mexican fusion food with a convenient location and fun, upbeat ambiance. It’s across the street from 21c and a great venue for groups or even just appetizers and drinks. I highly recommend the salmon or pork belly tacos along with the quest dip and chips. The Yucatan chicken was decent but didn’t really stand out. Service is very good and it’s a great option in Downtown Cincy.

Went to nada for my 2 year anniversary and it was my first time there. We had reservations made for a few months and made a note that it was our anniversary. I was surprised when we got probably the worst table in the place. I am a hostess and totally understand that you can’t give everyone great tables because of server sections, but I always try to give birthdays/​anniversaries the best seat in the house. Especially on non busy nights like Sunday. We were in the corner sort of by a closet. In hind sight, I probably should have asked to sit outside.
I was quickly distracted from our weird table by our super friendly server. She made great menu recommendations and seemed happy to be there. My margarita was amazing (you can tell they use quality ingredients) and my boyfriend enjoyed his Mexican Mule. Both drinks were worth the price — $ 7 nadarita & $ 8 mexican mule. Definitely get chips and salsa to start. $ 2 and very tasty.
As for the food — it was good. I wasn’t super wowed because I am picky and got grilled chicken tacos (without guac and black bean purée). Since mine were so plain, it just tasted like a lot of other grilled chicken tacos I’ve had. Still tasty though. My boyfriend said his baja fish tacos were the best he has ever had.
I would come back for dinner only on special occasions (because the food/​drinks are pricy). For sure going to come to happy hour soon for some discounts and more nadaritas!

Love their patio and grapefruit margaritas.
Such a wonderful place for a dinner on a hot night. The lights in the patio are adorable.
We tried some of their tacos. Unfortunately, the portion is 3 same tacos and there is no mixed sampler. We could order one taco of any sort, but it was substantially more expensive (6.50 $ per one). We still liked it, but would not do it again.
The service is very professional and attentive.
Definitely worth coming back.

I really love this place for good, honest, well-​made mexican food! I’ve been in here multiple times for private events, happy hours, special occasions on the weekends, etc. The service is always immaculate, the food quality is amazing, and the drinks are yummy! Seriously, their house margarita is one of the best I’ve ever had because ITS SIMPLE! No nasty mixes in this one!
This last week I went in for a late dinner on Thursday with a friend. We had no issues getting a table inside around 8:30 pm. We started with chips, salsa, and queso — all of which are delicious!
She had the shrimp tacos which looked so fresh and tasty. She loved them! I had the pork belly tacos. Oh. My. Tastebuds. These tacos were so flavorful, the pork belly fried just right, and the pickled onions were a perfect compliment. I had some queso left over, so that went on them as well. You can’t go wrong with adding cheese!
I usually get the chicken and corn enchiladas because they are one of the most amazing things on this planet and I usually cannot stand the thought of missing out on the opportunity to have them when I go. I was NOT disappointed that I tried something new!
This is not cheap mexican food folks, but the quality, service, and presentation are worth every single penny!

Dayumm, Nada. you do host a fine Happy Hour!
I came here with my friends about a month ago after they had gone multiple times and had great experiences.
We were seated immediately at the bar and there was only one other couple besides the three of us there, so it was a pleasant, relaxed time. I believe happy hour was from 4−6pm. we got there at 4:30pm.
We got the salsa and guacamole with chips to share (salsa chips refillable) and I ordered an order of the Nada fries and a shrimp taco. everything was fantastic and tasted so fresh! My favorite was the Nada fries, which are quartered red potatoes that are fried and served with a side of green onion sour cream and a sweet chili sauce. which paired perfectly. it was a huge portion that could easily be shared between 2 people. Their white sangria was also fantastic and very refreshing. Everything was reasonably priced for happy hour and well worth your buck (I can’t recall the exact cost, but I spent no more than $ 15 total and left very full).
I am looking forward to coming here for lunch or dinner for sure!
