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 and Indianapolis. 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.

Fajitas were excellent and Sean was an amazing server. However $37 for fajitas is a bit overboard for what you get. This is also the only Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to that charges for chips and salsa. The noise level made it nearly impossible to talk even across the table.

Service was good. Food is pricey for small portions and the beer was warm from a can. Not the best food but you’re really going there for the location with it being close to the arena.

I visited Nada with a lively group of 9 and we were out for a bachelorette party. We were a bit disorganized/unprepared to order at times, so I really appreciated our server’s patience. We were happy with the amount of time spent there - of course we wanted to take our time and socialize but it was nice that the food came all together and drinks refilled quickly. Our food was great and just what we were hoping for. I wish we could have chosen the number of tacos in our entrees. We were headed somewhere else afterward and couldn’t take leftovers, so this resulted in a lot of wasted food. Please consider offering the lunch size at dinner!

Always a wonderful experience. We do not Live in Columbus. However, every time we are staying downtown, love going to Nada. Wonderful margaritas, food is excellent, and the ambiance is perfect.

I love this restaurant and will return but I was frustrated during this visit. I made a reservation 4 months ago and when we arrived, they made us wait 20 minutes after our reservation to be seated. We were attending a concert so had planned the timing for that purpose.

Had a great pre-game dinner. The restaurant filled very quickly due to a 7:00 hockey game and the staff handled the ‘rush’ beautifully. Great food and drinks. Great choice for us!
