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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Nada in Columbus offers a vibrant dining experience with "excellent service!" and a "fun atmosphere." The standout dishes include shrimp tacos and jalapeño cheddar cornbread. While some find it a bit noisy, the "margaritas are fabulous" and the food consistently delights. Ideal for pre-event meals in the Arena District.

    The food and service were great! We all enjoyed our meals and definitely recommend. Great place to go before going to Nationwide arena (make reservations).

    We love Nada for its very authentic, scrumptious Mexican cuisine. The menu isn't huge, but doesn't need to be because every dish and side are very tasty. We love their homemade chips with the trio of sauces--mild, moderate and pretty spicy, but not too hot. Our entrees were both great and very filling: braised chicken enchilada and a chicken quesadilla...great service in a modern dining room.

    Always a great meal, Nada never disappoints. Located right across the street from the nationwide Arena, this Mexican restaurant has a simple limited menu that always works.

    Had to ask for condiments for quesadillas even though one member of our party specifically asked what the condiments that came with that dish were. One person in our group asked about gluten free options. The menu should specifically point out which items can be made GF.

    Love the quesadilla! Tender chicken with cheese - and crispy cheese on the outside, yum! Also had the chicken tortilla soup. Excellent. Hubby had the enchiladas and enjoyed them. Can we talk about those churros? So light and fluffy. Best ever! Went for an event and they kept up with the crowd without issue. THANK YOU.
