    Tatiana was extremely attentive to our needs and always checked on us at the right moments to keep our drinks refilled! Would definitely request her as my server again next time I’m there! Amazing job Tatiana!

    this was the first time i was disappointed with my service at de nada and i used to be a rather regular customer in the past two years. the service from our waitress was extremely slow and she would hardly come our way and we would have to flag her down. she was extremely nice, but the quick stop at de nada before the commencement ceremony at UT turned into almost an hour visit. it took awhile for us to get in and out and i was surprised.

    Not at all impressed. The margs were good but the beer wasn’t very cold. Nice enough interior but a horrible menu - a few tacos and a couple of quesadillas - that’s it! Waitress was so-so. Didn’t understand how to split a bill between 3 credit cards. We don’t understand the hype, so this is a one and done for us.

    Food is nothing too fancy but very affordable and not disappointing. Frozen margs are the best!!! Always love coming here and have never had a bad experience.

    De Nada is a fun restaurant but it is always very hectic! My friends and I went on a Friday and had a reservation for outside seating, which is a small patio covered by a tent. It had been raining and our seats were wet so I had to ask for the server to wipe our chairs down. Our server was fantastic and the food was good, although their menu is pretty small. They make a great and strong margarita. But the parking at the restaurant is extremely limited. There are about 10 parking spaces and some of the parking is taken over by a tent that they set up for a waiting area. Considering how busy the restaurant is on a regular basis, they need to come up with a better parking and waiting area to accommodate their customers.
