Needed a late night meal after attending a show at the Aronoff Center. We arrived at 10:30 and told them we would be quick as they closed at 11:00. Both the host and our server were so gracious and accommodating encouraging us to take our time and not making us feel rushed (we did head out at 11:10 ;) Loved the seating and atmosphere. Food was great - the guacamole and heated chips, the burrata, and the chicken tortilla soup. Smoky flavors and great spices. Thank you for a great experience.

I'd say Nada has the best tacos in Cincinnati. Just absolutely delicious. All different flavors and nice combinations. You can get vegetarian cauliflower tacos or chicken tacos or shrimp or fish or beef. They're all delicious. And their fajitas and enchiladas are also outstanding. Just great food. And also a wide selection of wonderful alcoholic beverages. It's a lovely, beautiful atmosphere. Eating outside next to the sidewalk is very nice and comfortable. Inside is absolutely exquisite. Decorations are terrific. It's a fun, lovely place to take your family or friends out for a Mexican dinner.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely spectacular dining experience at NADA! The food was out of this world — every bite was phenomenal. The Brussels sprouts were incredible, the grapefruit margarita was perfectly balanced and refreshing, and the queso was hands-down some of the best we’ve ever had. The cauliflower tacos? To die for — bursting with flavor and truly unforgettable. As amazing as the food was, the service took our experience to another level. Our server, Jordan, was absolutely outstanding — the GOAT of hospitality, like Michael Jordan is to basketball. He made us feel taken care of in every way. And the hospitality didn’t stop there — the hostess, Myecia, had a full list of all the restaurants participating in restaurant week waiting for us as soon as we arrived, without us even asking. That kind of thoughtfulness and service is truly rare. We own our own restaurant in Lexington, Kentucky (Grounded All Day Café), so we know genuine hospitality and great customer service when we see it — and NADA has it all. Fantastic staff, spectacular food, terrific atmosphere, and great music. Five stars all the way!

First time with my husband grabbing lunch here. We both agreed this was a great experience. The food was delicious, serving sizes were perfect, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Elissa was a fantastic waitress. She asked if we had any allergies and brought a separate basket of chips that weren’t cross-contaminated after I told her my husband is gluten free. She was attentive and super friendly—the servers can make or break a good experience. Pricey, but worth it for a nice treat every now and then.

The ambiance was amazing — we chose outdoor seating, and it was perfect for the evening with great lighting and music. The food was delicious — we tried the shrimp fajitas, chicken quesadillas, and enchiladas, and everything was cooked perfectly with bold flavors. The guacamole was super fresh, and the variety of salsas and dips made the meal even better.

The food and service was exceptional. We sat outside since the weather was nice enough and I couldn’t have asked for better service from Sawyer, our server. As busy as it was the food and drinks came out with great timing and would recommend to anyone interested.

11 of us went there after work for dinner and drinks and it was fantastic. Loved the drinks, spicy margaritas, regular margaritas, and especially the Bonfire! The taco flight, Crispy Brussels, vegetarian tacos, chicken tacos, and other dishes were extremely good. The homemade chips and salsa and guacamole are a must have. The server was friendly and keep us happy too! Try this once and I am sure you will return!

Great place friendly staff. Food was delicious. Music is a little loud for my liking but its an upbeat place. Not a traditional Mexican restaurant.

Visiting my Niece, she really wanted to show us her favorite Mexican. Being from Las Vegas, I was skeptical of how well Ohio could do Mexican cuisine, however this place did not disappoint!! We all ordered a Mexican beer to start and some Chips with 3 salsas. These salsas that are clearly house made were amazing. I ordered by recommendation the Chicken enchiladas and Hub went with the Chicken tacos that came with rice and beans...the beans were life changing good! The food was so good and spicy...I was in shock that food could be done this well. Our server was so amazing...he kept us filled with water and offered us a refill on chips and salsa... I will be back here for sure if I ever return....very VERY good!

They have redone the menu from my last visit a few years ago. Drinks are normal pricing since it's next to the Aronoff. They have tacos, Enchiladas, Quesadillas, Burritos and more. Sauces were very good. We sat outside which was nice accept for the annoying guy trying to play music on garbage cans. I lost my seafood Enchilada picture but it was very good.

NAPA is a sophisticated, upscale, Latin restaurant in Downtown Cincinnati. We had lunch at 11:45 on Sunday and the restaurant was just starting to livin up. They have an outside, downstairs and an upstairs dining area. Plus adorable bar right when you walk in. The food was good, the street corn and fried plantains were by far my favorite of everything we ordered. Definitely both worth a try. Prices are similar to most other restaurants in the area (not gross but, high). Most portions are average to small and sides are ordered separately. We enjoyed the stop. Would love this as a date night and cocktails evening.

This was the group dinner for my coworkers and myself. I came here from a suggestion from my friend who lives in the area. She sated it's an oldie but goodie as they are consistent in their food and drinks. So I suggested it to my coworkers, and we ended up getting reservations. I ordered carne asada tacos and split one of 3 with my other coworker who ordered the chicken al carbon tacos. We also ordered grilled street corn, chips & salsa trio, and O.G. Guacamole. I ordered a personal order of pickled cucumber salad. The drinks were nice as well. I also ordered churros for dessert that I split with everyone the food was so delicious.

Super cute vibe inside. Cozy and eclectic. I wish you could order the tacos ala carte, so that I could have tried the cauliflower, but went with the mahi tacos which was tasty. I also enjoyed that you could switch out the rice and beans side for a cucumber salad. My mezcal margarita was good, although not very mezcal-y.

Fantastic spot in Cincy! Went with a group and had most of the appetizer menu. Standouts were the ceviche and the brussel sprouts - never expected that to be the standout but our group could not get enough! Their cauliflower tacos were fantastic - a lighter option with incredibly season and well cooked vegetables. I also subbed the rice and beans for street corn , highly recco paying the upcharge and swapping out your sides! The staff was very attentive and took great care of our large group. Made it easy for all of us and gave great recommendations on what to order! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for fresh, Mexican food in a fun setting in Cincy.

If you are in the mood for good Mexican food go to Nada! The guacamole appetizer and chips were a great start. We We were seated upstairs where we enjoyed a fun vibe yet we were able to easily talk at our table. The chicken roasted fajita was cooked to perfection. Street parking is easy to navigate and the wait staff was attentive the whole time!

I've been to Cincinnati exactly two times in my life, and on both visits I went to Nada. I remember going in 2018 and loving it and many years later the quality of the food and friendliness of the wait staff were exactly the same. The ambiance is also great - I love the decor inside and all of the plants/decor outside were beautiful. We tried the following: - Baja Style Fish Taco - Baja Style Shrimp Taco - Chicken Al Carbon Taco - Carne Asada Taco - Grilled Street Corn - Crispy Potatoes - Churros It's rare to try so many things on the menu and every single thing be phenomenal but Nada somehow manages to accomplish that. What was cool was that we could order the street corn and crispy potatoes as sides to our tacos so we didn't need to order full appetizers to try these dishes. I was confident we would have to pack some food to take home, but we ended up finishing it all at the restaurant before we hit the road for the next leg of our roadtrip.

The grapefruit margarita was excellent! Everything else was ok. We tried the salsa trio (verde was definitely the best) but the chips were hard to eat because they were so flimsy. The guacamole was ok and the cheese dip was a pass. Very few vegetarian options. The crispy potatoes were very sweet and cold. The husband got chicken enchiladas (a specialty ‍) and said they were ok but nothing special. Surprised this restaurant had been recuse often to us.

We dined at Nada one evening before seeing Grinch the Musical at the Aronoff. Despite being very busy with other Aronoff guests also dining at Nada, our service was quick and friendly, and our server was extremely patient and attentive. For an appetizer, four of us shared an order of Crispy Brussel Sprouts and Chips and Salsa. Both were quite delicious. The chips tasted homemade and the variety of salsas were also quite unique and tasty. I even liked the spicier of the salsas, and I typically don't like anything spicy. For my entree I ordered the Braised Chicken Enchiladas. Oh my! I have never tasted Enchiladas quite like these. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every bite! The Sangria Blanco I ordered as my beverage also deserves a shout-out. My husband even liked it, and he doesn't typically go for Sangria. I cannot wait to return. The next time you're in town, I highly recommend you dine at Nada. If pairing your meal with a show at the Aronoff, it would be best to make a reservation. Bon Appétit!

Nada in Cincinnati has amazing flavor and great service, every dish bursts with creativity and great seasoning. The only downside is the portion size, it's on the smaller side, especially considering the higher prices. Still, the food itself is delicious enough that I'd go back, just maybe not when I'm super hungry.

I am not wearing the same rosy-colored glasses I had on the last time I was here (I've eaten a lot more food in several more major cities, plus I didn't have brunch this time around). But service was still great. Michael M. kept the margaritas flowing and made sure my table stayed clean. I had the world famous braised chicken enchiladas. These were objectively good, just not my thing because I'm not a rice fan. I should have gotten the fajitas or the fajita quesadilla. I had the queso, as we did last time, and it's still hot, cheesy, and creamy. I also had the crispy potatoes again, but this time they seemed a little sweet. I think that's a change in MY palate, not in the quality of the dish. I had the supreme margarita, the pineapple mojito, the pink grapefruit margarita, and the mezcal margarita. The supreme and mezcal were my favorites and they had a more classic flavor profile. The other two weren't bad, but were a little sweet. Other menu offerings: jalapeño cheddar cornbread, ceviche, crispy brussels sports, guacamole, and tacos (I didn't have tacos because I didn't want to make a mess that day). Not crowded on a Monday (and really one of the only downtown restaurants open mid-day on Monday). Nice patio. Music not too loud. Seated immediately by a friendly host. Maybe not wearing those rosy glasses anymore, but would still say this is a solid basic Mexican and marg spot.

I was looking for a late dinner in downtown Cincinnati and was in the mood for something spicy. A quick search resulted in Nada coming up. Here's my take on the experience: Quality of food: Great. I started out by getting the Chips & Salsa trio that came with fire-roasted tomato ancho salsa, serrano salsa verde, and habanero "kreeper" salsa. The chips were freshly fried and the salsas tasted very fresh with varying degrees of heat. For the entree, I got their sizzling chicken fajitas that came with lettuce, cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, lime crema, ancho salsa, and Ancho-Crusted Chicken Breast. I love the peppers and onions that come with fajitas and Nada had it perfectly seasoned. Décor: kinda cool. The place felt very modern inside and the food tasted authentic. Cleanliness: good. The tables and the bar area were being kept clean. Service: great. Our server happily explained us the menu and kept checking on us just at the right frequency. Price: reasonable. The chips & salsa trio was $7 and the chicken fajitas was $25. If you're up for some really good Mexican food that's right in downtown Cincinnati at a modern looking place then checkout Nada.

My Fiancé took me to Nada on my birthday. We had a reservation and got to sit upstairs. This place was very nice and I loved the decor. It seemed modern and was so clean. The wait staff was great and was so kind. We ordered an appetizer of chips and queso that was very good. The chips were fresh, and the queso had some great flavor to it. I ordered the chicken fajitas as my main course, and it was very good. Honestly, there was so much food. The food had great flavor, and all of the toppings it came with were a beautiful addition. I had been wanting to come here for a while, and I would say it lived up to the hype. There was a great vibe inside, and I really just loved the experience. This was almost like a Shaq experience for me. Huge hype around this place, almost a bit nervous about all the hype, but after going with my gut here, I got a generational experience. Will definitely be back!

I have heard such great things about this place and we finally made it in tonight. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The chips guacamole and queso were fantastic. The margaritas were fair. I had the world's greatest chicken enchilada it was ok. Fun place but I would struggle to go back with so many great places close by. If you want Mexican and in the area worth a trip in

Came here with a group of 6 on a Tuesday night and had a great time. We arrived a little early so sat at the bar for a cocktail first. The restaurant is actually a lot bigger on the inside than it looks and there is plenty of seating. We shared some apps of guac and Brussel sprouts which were both good but the enchiladas are where the food really shined. Most of our party got the chicken enchiladas and I got the seafood one. They were both really really delicious. A few of us also got fajitas which looked tasty as well. If you're looking for a trendy Mexican restaurant in the downtown/OTR area, check this place out!

Were frequent fliers at Nada and I can't believe it's taken me this long to review! Whether we're downtown for a show or visiting a museum, Nada is the perfect stop for lunch or dinner. Family friendly or upscale, whatever you need to fit the occasion, you'll find it here. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, it's all delicious!

This place is cute. If I wasn't in the city on business, I'd go out on a date here. The food was pretty good. I got the ceviche to start and ordered the Al pastor tacos. The rice and beans that comes with it were very good and I loved the perfectly sliced al pastor in the taco. Was a little too sweet in my opinion, but but cooked to perfection. Ceviche wasn't my favorite but the plantain chips were awesome to compliment the ceviche. Normally I grab a drink, but I was just coming by for a quick bite. It wasn't super busy but the wait staff were very nice. I'll come back again next time I'm in Cincy.

Best Mexican food I've had in Ohio! Being a West Coast transplant, the Mexican food here has been a major disappointment, until now. The fresh tortilla chips and guacamole were a great start. The jalapeño cheddar cornbread (mini muffins) with the whipped butter, honey, and flaky salt were little bites of heaven. The al pastor taco flavors were poppin'! Even the refried black beans and verde rice tasted amazing. And the three cheese enchiladas with ancho gravy that my hubby let me sample...omg! The best cheese enchiladas I've ever tasted at a restaurant. I'm gonna order those next time! Beautiful restaurant and warm vibe with friendly, helpful staff. If you want to an elevated Mexican restaurant experience, this is it.

I loved my experience here. The queso was so good and served in a cast iron pot warm so it stayed a perfect temperature to enjoy. I loved the house margarita as well. It was well made and tasty, but I wished I tried one of the spicy ones. My only note is that I felt that the sauce in the enchiladas was very salty. The enchiladas were overall tasty but slightly elevated (not the authentic Mexican cuisine). There was what looked like couscous in the filling, and the chicken itself was sparse. But overall I liked my meal and would probably go with a different entree next time!

On November 29th, I took my fiancée to Nada for lunch; since it was her birthday weekend. I have been to this restaurant before in 2018 for a college field trip. She wanted to give it a try since I'm always talking about this restaurant. I got the Caramelized Cauliflower taco with black beans and rice and the fiancée got Chicken Al Carbon tacos with black beans and rice. I don't remember what I got back in 2018, but the food was good last time and it was even better this time.

We seem to be hitting a lot of restaurants offering tacos and Nada was next on our list. Nada looks great inside and out. We enjoyed our dinner and I'd like to come back when the weather supports eating al fresco. That said, the holiday decorations were fabulous. Though christmas was over a month away, the vibe was very festive. We sat upstairs. Our table was the first on the pathway from the stairs to most of the other tables upstairs. It didn't bother us, but it seemed our waiter felt he was in the way. We started with the chips and salsa trio. The mild sauce was delicious. The jalapeño sauce (green) was very good, but quite runny. The hottest of the three was also quite good. The flavor was fantastic, but the heat lingered. That said, though I'm not a fan of spicy, I found it very tasty. I ordered the pork belly tacos. Though a little messy, the flavor was fantastic. Pork belly tacos were on the "Specials" menu. Apparently Nada used to carry them all the time, but now they are seasonal. If you go and they are available, I highly recommend them. Of all the tacos we've had lately, I thought these were the best. Mark ordered the 'World Famous' Braised Chicken Enchiladas. He said they were excellent. He can sometimes be persnickety, which is fair. If something isn't great, he says so. The fact he commented on how good this dish was is high praise indeed. We shared the Tres Leches for dessert. It was sweet, but not too sweet. The cinnamon almonds were the sweetest thing in the dish and were the perfect compliment to the chiffon cake and berries. We'll come back for sure.

Came here for dinner after ice skating down town last week! I did make reservations in advance, so we were seated right away. The restaurant was very cozy, which was great after being outdoors all night. However, the restaurant seemed to be a bit cold and we noticed cold air coming out of the vents which we did notify the staff of and they quickly fixed. We tried the guacamole and queso to start, both of which were delicious! We all ordered fajitas, one chicken, one steak and one el jefe(chicken, steak and shrimp). They came out sizzling but unfortunately I immediately noticed my steak was a bit undercooked. We were not asked how we would like the meat cooked but the steak just seemed way to pink. Our server kindly apologized and ordered a new one, which was very appreciated. I unfortunately did have to wait a bit for mine to be recooked but we still had queso and guacamole to snack on. Other than that, the food was delicious! The staff, especially our server, were super friendly and welcoming. Any problems we had they immediately fixed which was very much appreciated. Overall, great experience and food, will definitely be coming back!

In the heart of downtown, Nada is a trendy Mexican restaurant with a very fun vibe. The environment was elegant without being stuffy and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Starting off, the chips and salsa sampler was fantastic with addicting chips and flavorful, unique salsas. They also came with unlimited refills which is great for sharing! The fish tacos were very tasty although a bit too expensive and the cheese enchiladas were decent but nothing to write home about. The mac and cheese was great as well. I can't wait to go back and try other parts of the menu!

We've been trying to get to Nada for years and it was definitely worth the wait! The service was super quick and the restaurant had a nice energy. The patio looked great but had a wait, so we opted to eat inside (we had a reservation, and I'd recommend one). We started with queso and cornbread. The cornbread was pretty good with the sweet/salty combo of honey and corn and salt and jalapeno, but the absolute standout was the chips that came with the queso. I could have eaten a whole basket of them plain. (The queso was excellent too!) I had the Baja fish tacos with the crispy mahi. They were great with the right amount of pickled onions and crunch, but I would have liked a little more of the sauce. My husband had the carne asada tacos with a few updates, including mac and cheese instead of the normal rice and beans. He loved it all; the mac and cheese was especially good. He also had a pineapple mojito which was very good but, of course, sweeter than a normal mojito.

6/16/24 I came here with my husband, met up with my father in law, his wife and my sister in law. Not only to celebrate my husband's birthday but also Father's Day. Nada restaurant was a delight! The service was outstanding and the food arrived quickly. The beautiful ambiance set the perfect tone. We couldn't get enough of the tasting trio dipping sauce with our tortilla chips, so delicious and flavorful. I ordered the world-famous braised chicken enchiladas with cucumber salad, and an order of churro donuts and it was all phenomenal. They even provided a taco divider for leftovers. Excellent food and service--highly recommended!

I'm visiting from California. It's been my experience that no place other than Mexican border states have restaurants that serve authentic tasting Mexican food. Not Montana, not Washington, not Oregon. So the challenge here is to find a non-border state that has a Mexican restaurant that serves authentic tasting Mexican food. A colleague tried Nada and said it was passable. so I gave it a try. One thing that struck me about Cincinnati and Mexican food: no one heats up the tortilla. The Duke Convention Center served Mexican food on occasion and NEVER heated up the tortillas. Imagine! I ordered the 3-taco entree. I avoided the al pastor because it came with pineapple. I thought about the carne asada, but I never know whether the establishment does anything about gristle. Chicken is difficult to mess up, so I ordered the chicken tacos, that came with black refried beans and Mexican rice. Not bad. Perfect, if those tortillas had been warmed up. We sat at the bar because the hostesses told us that the bar patrons get served quicker. Restrooms are upstairs. If you have a short skirt, be ready to show your underwear to the patrons below if you need to go upstairs. There is ample seating outside and inside. It's a good place for groups to meet. I'm from out of town, so I can't tell you about car parking.

This location is huge! There's tables and bar seating downstairs with outdoor seating as well. Upstairs there's a bar, booths and tables. We went before the opening day game and were sat right away. There's a smaller menu but options for children and adults. You can pick and choose which tacos you want in the 2 selection of tacos. The trio of salsa was so delicious with different flavors. I added it to my mahi tacos which added more taste.

We had an amazing time at Nada last night. From the food to the service - it was all great! We walked from our hotel to Nada around 5:00pm on Friday. We were greeted & quickly seated when we walked in. Our server was Ben. He was the best! Super friendly & had great recommendations when we couldn't make a decision. We started with the guacamole (per Ben's rec). It did not disappoint. It was flavorful & fresh. The homemade chips were also great. I definitely recommend it. We also ordered the Baja fish tacos with mahi and a side of brussel sprouts. The tacos were delicious. The pieces of fish were large which we appreciated. And those Brussels? Out of this world good! We loved our experience here & cannot wait to go back next time we are in town!

SEVEN WORDS: Upscale, Boutique-Style Fusion / Expensive but Done Well. . Nadal is a Niche Restaurant, with a Full Day of Dining Options. The Menu leans towards American Comfort Food, but every dish has a Bobby Flay-Level Twist. Our Appetizers, "Crispy Brussels" are a perfect example of that: A Cluster of 6 Brussel Sprouts were piled into a small iron skillet,paid with Chopped Broccoli, drizzled with Oil and a Rich lacquer of Balsamic Viniagrette flash grilled in a high-heat oven (likely a Salamnder, for those in the Know), and topped off with Red Wine vinegar Cabbage Fries. . It was INSANELY GOOD. . Our Entree was a Shared dish, since we wanted to eat very light - and we ordered the Tacos dish. It included two delicate tacos, situated on two soft tortillas, both the size of Silver Dollar Pancakes. Quite A Bit Small for a $17 Entree. . And, Yes...in 2024, that may sound somewhat reqsonable...but that size. It is unreasonable for ANY Entree. . So...$37 for One Phenomenal Appetizer, One Good Enree, and Two Sodas. That's just not 5-Star. Sorry, Guys, but it just Falls Short. . Too Bad, because those Brussels...Phenomenal. I recommend shopping for a better deal - or the Sous Chef wgphispering in the F&B Managers Ear to Size up to 3 tacos, and re-price the Tacos to $7/piece: $21. . But...As Is...Four Stars..

This review is for April 17th '24 I ordered the salsa, queso, chile-mango margarita, mezcal margarita, and pork Al pastor tacos with the crispy potato's instead of the rice and beans from their lunch menu. I sat outside since it was a very nice day today, and my server was very friendly, accommodating, & patient with me. Everything was very tasty. The only few side eyes that I have are for the portions with the salad and queso. The portions are extremely tiny so be prepared for that. I've never really had small portions of dips from a Mexican restaurant, but they were both flavorful so that made up for it a little. The pork al pastor tacos were good, not as flavorful as I would have hoped but they were still good. The chile mango and mezcal margarita were both very tasty too! Over my experience was definitely an 8 out of 10 and will have to try other items on their lunch menu and possibly dinner as well.

I suggest you never order anything relevant to this order. The taco is meh. Chicken is yak. Cauliflower is salty. Rice is too hard. Drinks are don't even ask. Server never seemed to care even when we asked for hot/ green sauce for tacos. What's up with this place?

I have wanted to visit Nada for a while - ever since I spotted it's fun, colorful outdoor patio! I was not disappointed visiting!! The inside is just as festive, with fun furniture and an upstairs eating area. You might want to book a reservation if you're coming on a night or weekend. We came on a Thursday night and we're able to snag a high top table without a reservation. My friend got the fajitas and I got the tacos and we split some chips and queso. All was DELICIOUS. With the fajitas you'll almost certainly have leftovers. I could've ate all three tacos with the appetite I had that night. It's a little pricier, but it is downtown and a nicer restaurant. Our server was very nice.

One entire wall is lined with windows, and on a sunny day it gives an amazing view of the Contemporary art center. Before I even get to the food, the vibrant ecclectic decor won me over. Contemporary art paired with bright florals and lighting make this a great brunch spot. Our server was prompt and food and drinks were quick. The spicy margarita was not just lined on the rim with Tajin, the liquid has some kind of interesting kick as well. Ceviche with plantain chips?! What a funky, delicious delight. The jalapeño cornbread was crisp on the outside, soft on the inside and drizzled with honey. Perfection for cornbread that will not be the standard I measure all others against. Each set of tacos comes with three tacos and rice and beans, but they allowed us to substitute the rice and beans for street corn as a side which was an excellent choice! We tried carne asada, the fish tacos, caramelized cauliflower and pork el pastor. Everyone agreed the cauliflower and fish tacos were our favorites...but all had their unique kick. They have layered creamy lime, pickled onions and pineapples in different ways with each meat making each choice of taco a unique experience. Great experience for a girls day out brunch. Note: we had a party of six and they added a 20% gratuity to the bill so pay attention. They also take reservations.

I was on an office trip and wanted a good restaurant to have my dinner. I have heard that Mexican restaurants do not offer vegeterian options as their rice and beans are cooked in meat broth. So I asked the servers before sitting and they confirmed they have vegan options. I did not see many options but was pleased with the option I had. I ordered the caramelized cauliflower on taco. It came with a small side of beans and rice. In my opinion it was a good portion and the food tasted delicious. The service was good too.

service at NADA was TOP NOTCH! Our appetizers were OG guac and crispy Brussel sprouts. They need to change the prefix to O.M.G! So delicious! Shrimp fajitas were spot on and for dessert we got the Tres Leche cake. AGAIN O.M.G

A tasty option for lunch. My group ordered the crispy Brussels, guacamole, and salsa trio for appetizers. All were tasty but the brussel sprouts were extra delicious. I also ordered the Baja fish tacos with a side of potatoes. The fish tacos were excellent. My friend and I also traded a taco so I was able to try the shrimp one as well. Both were good but I preferred the fish combination a little more. As for the potatoes, they were a little too sweet for my tastes. Reminded me a little too much like soy sauce potatoes with a little kick. As for the service, our waitress was excellent. She made great recommendations and was very attentive. Definitely recommend if you are in the mood for Mexican

Super cute place. Service is great. Everything is overpriced. And they added 20% gratuity for our "large party" of 6. Salsas are delicious. Especially the habanero one that came with the trio. Queso is good but a small portion for the money. The side of street corn was $9. That's a lot to pay for a side dish, although it was very tasty. It probably amounted to one cob of corn and there was a medium length black hair in it. The cornbread was the star. It had real jalapeños in it and a touch of honey on top. Very good. Would get that again. No one said much about the ceviche, I didn't try it. Came with long plantain chips. They have gluten free chips which are very good, upon request. I would not have known they were gluten free. The guac was good. The steak fajitas looked amazing. So we ordered the El Jefe which is the combo of steak shrimp and chicken since we were sharing. Well- the steak was overcooked and the chicken was dry. The shrimp were fine. Our friend's steak fajitas came out perfect medium rare. Our other friend's steak fajitas came out well, like ours. I guess the one guy told the server how he wanted his steak done. I didn't know that was an option. They should freaking ask!!!!! Who likes a well done steak!? Our friends had a Paloma, the margarita, the cantarito and loved their drinks. The Pacifico in a bottle was $7, pricey, for a beer, in my opinion. We just came from a brewery, so I was only having water at that point. My cup was refilled often. The bathrooms are clean. They're upstairs. There's a small part of the floor up there that has glass so you can see below. Kids up there were really getting a thrill from it. Probably would not eat here again. It's Mexican food, and it's good, but you can get better for less at a more traditional joint. If you decide to eat here, just make sure you tell them how you want your steak. And don't get the combo fajitas- there isn't enough care put on that dish for the meats to be good. Just get one meat so they can focus on that being the star. Good luck.

Food presentation and the restaurant itself were great. Service was also great - our server was very nice and attentive. The vibe was chill with good Latin music. The drinks were 9/10. I got the blue berry one and my partner got the mojito I believe. Again, food presentation was good but the food was not "authentic" Mexican. I got the enchiladas and my partner got the steak tacos. And we shared the ceviche. I would say 6.5/10 for the food. It was good but not great. Overall I would maybe go for drinks and an appetizer.

Say outside since it was beautiful. Birds like to hang out around the tables. Service was excellent. Our waitress made sure we had everything we needed down to our hand crafted Mango pineapple margarita pitcher!
