"Pike & Rose’s bright taco-and-margartia joint also serves caipirinhas several ways. A traditional take ($10) can be supersized as a pitcher for $50. A passion fruit variety is $11 or $40 by the pitcher during happy hour from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. For vodka lovers, a Caipiroska pitcher subs in Tito’s ($65)." - John Besche, Tierney Plumb

I had high hopes for this Latin restaurant based on decent reviews, but my experience was disappointing. We were seated promptly but had to wait a long time for water and appetizers. The chips and salsa were served in an extremely tiny portion on a small wooden plate. When our entrees arrived, the food was cold. Although the service was quick, it was clear that the seafood wasn't fresh, which was alarming. Overall, the service was below average, and I wouldn't consider this a real restaurant. It’s on the same level as fast food, and I won’t be returning.

It's always a good place to hang out . Drinks are good and keep coming if you want, food is solid and location is amazing. I'm sad that steak foe 2 dinner is gone but I hope they will replace this dish with something as good.

Really enjoyed their chips and black beans & rice. Both shrimp tacos (too much batter) and pork alpastor tacos (too greasy) were disappointing. Yet good vibe and good service.

I went to this place for a typical lunch and ordered chicken al pastor and chicken al carbon tacos with a side of guacamole, black beans, and rice. It was delicious! I also tried a spicy margarita, which turned out to be one of the best I've had. The food had a unique twist, elevating it to a higher level of Mexican cuisine. Despite a somewhat lengthy wait, the bartender came to the rescue with a fantastic margarita. The ambiance was nice, although a bit loud. Overall, I was satisfied with my order.

We ordered chips (they are not free) and they were okay, more greasy than I prefer. The blueberry lemonade was nothing special unfortunately for $7 I thought it would have a wowness factor like Chic Fil A or Cheesecake Factory lemonade, but it was forgettable. Now on to the entree I ordered the Mahi tacos and they had absolutely no taste at all, (I did get the toppings on the side) even ordered guacamole but guacamole couldn’t save them. My husband ordered shrimp tacos and his tasted better than mine, thus the two star rating the waitress Ruth was nice and patient but I can’t ever see myself coming back here or recommending to a friend.

Overall, I give it a 3 out of 5 primarily because the food was average and the portion sizes were mediocre, but the service was amazing. We visited during the day, so I can’t really tell how day compares to night but it was quiet, chill, relaxing and it was clean.

My boyfriend and I went for happy hour and had a great time! The deals were very reasonable and we enjoyed sitting outside where heaters were available if needed. The service was very good too - attentive and informative. All of the items we got were delicious, especially the brussels sprouts and crispy cauliflower. We would definitely go again!

Our office lunch event at Nada restaurant was simply outstanding, thanks to the exceptional service and hospitality provided by their team. Their attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our every need made the experience truly remarkable. Our team had a fantastic time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our gathering. A heartfelt thank you to Manager Natasha for her exceptional dedication in meeting all our event's needs. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

Tonight was the second time we had been here. Great food (we had the fajitas tonight - a waiter walked past us when we were being led to our table and they smelled SO good - we had to try them!) super yummy and very filling! Loved my Suprema margarit, and they guys i came with had the Bourbon cocktail which was very tasty. just as important- superior service. That is always a key differentiator for me in why to come ba to a restaurant- and why we will be back at Nada next time we are in the area!

Came in for dinner one evening with another person. I'm not too big on Mexican food, but I love a basic quesadilla! That's exactly what I ordered, a chicken quesadilla. To my surprise they were larger than I anticipated, and there were two. I like that they came with toppings on the side. I will say that I wasn't too big of a fan of the burnt cheese edges, but it was still good. They didn't skimp on the chicken and cheese inside to my surprise. I was very pleased with my dish. It was filling. Service was great. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and was also helpful in making recommendations for drinks. I'll have to come back and try their margaritas!

Second time here . First time was back when they first opened. Crispy Shrimp tacos was delicious also the Cauliflower tacos was good ! Nice happy hour

Came here for Mother's Day with my parent since they had openings and enjoyed it last time we came (but not the time before that). We started with the chips and salsa trio, which you have to pay for unlike other Mexican restaurants. They give refills on them but you have to ask (no one offered to refill for us). Also ordered cornbread which was delicious but super tiny...and $10 for a tiny serving! They were already out of Brussels sprouts even though it was only 7 so that was disappointing. Our waitress was very sweet but seemed to fade and not come around as the evening progressed. Drinks were good. Food was hit or miss. We ordered shrimp, cauliflower, carne asada and chicken tacos which we shared. Shrimp were definitely the best and then the cauliflower. The chicken ones were not good, and the carne asada ones were "Chipotle level" as my son pointed out (but much pricier!). My hubby got the cheese enchiladas and my daughter got the chicken enchiladas. Both of them were very happy with their food. Overall, this place is very cute inside (and the outdoor when it's open) but the food is hit or miss depending on what you order, and their menu is very small. It's also a bit overpriced for certain selections. I'll come back but will stick with the 2-3 good entrees. Other local Mexican places are better price- and food-wise.

We went to celebrate cinco de mayo weekend, and they didn't have any specials for a late dinner/drinks on Saturday . Parked at the garage, it was $2 for 3 hours. The atmosphere was lively and cute! However, it was pretty packed at 8:00pm and was loud. Our server was wonderful! We lost him a little but towards the end- no refills on water despite the carafe of margarita we ordered for two. We definitely needed water lol. We ordered the carafe margarita, which was good but definitely too much for two people. We couldn't even finish half. The crispy potatoes, crispy brussels, and creamy mac n cheese were so delicious! I would definitely order again! The enchilada was also yummy! It was ambitious of us to order all this food, we definitely had leftovers. But it was tasty! Both my friend and I thought the sides were better than the entrees. It was a bit on the pricier side, but delicious! May try again, but not dying to come back all the time due to the price point.

I ended up here on an unexpected dinner outing with the ladies. They were busy but not packed on a spring Thursday night. They have some outdoor seatings. The service started well, but unfortunately, it really went downhill after we got our drinks. That is the reason for 4 stars instead of five. We started with a round of drinks which everyone enjoyed. For appetizer, we got O.G. Guacamole, which had great flavors and nice chips. Everyone was happy with their entree s: Kale Ceasar Salad with 2 grilled shrimp skewers World Famous Braised Chicken enchiladas Tacos Steak Fajitas The food was definitely delicious. Service could use some work. It could be that they were understaffed. I am willing to give it another try.

How have I not been here?!?? This place is amazing. I came during happy hour on a Friday and was able to get a seat. All the tacos taste so fresh they definitely use quality ingredients. I tried every taco during happy hour lol. I also got both sangrias. My favorites were * Carne asada taco. The meat was seasoned so well. * Fish taco. If you like fish they do a really good job. * The white sangria tasted more fruity then the red. * The sliders were recommended by our server and he was not wrong on how delicious they are! They have a pretty small selection but as far as i can tell they do everything they have very well.

Located at Pike & Rose with garage parking around that's free for 2 hours. Nada's has a vibrant and casual vibe and is lively whenever I pass by and they have a happy hour menu with a few good options. We came for late night drinks and snacks. The service was great and the server heard it was my friend's birthday and offered a complimentary dessert without us asking! We got margaritas by the pitcher and they salted each cup. The ceviche, guacamole, and queso were ok, not the best. The crispy brussels were surprisingly flavorful and yummy, even the carrot puree at the bottom was yummy to dip some chips in. The churros were good, but I prefer the normal long shape and the caramel was meh, but the tres leches was yummy with lots of fresh berries. Soft-serve ice cream was actually pretty good too. A solid 4 all around!

Had a wonderful girls out night at Nada. They have a large selection of tequila and mixed drinks. Props to bartenders Ejay & Carlos, they were super friendly, and great conversation buddies, on top of that they can customize any cocktails you want. For food we ordered Chicken tortilla soup, brussels sprouts, El jefe and some other nibbles. Everything came out fairly fast and delicious. Just be aware, the portions are pretty decent, everything can be shareable. In addition, I loved the homemade hot sauce, if you are a spice eater make sure you ask for it. The noise level can get slightly high here, especially on the weekend, however, if you are having a good time. It doesn't really bother anyone. This restaurant is located inside of Pike and Rose in Bethesda. As most of the people know, the street parkings here are very limited. There are nearby garage parking. Also open parking spaces. So parking is definitely not an issue here . Highly recommend by @winedinenvacay

Great spot right over in Pike and Rose! Friend and I stopped by for dinner a few weeks back and had a great time. The restaurant was pretty busy but service was friendly and decently attentive. They kept my water filled which is no easy feat! We shared the: -Kale Caesar: always need some leafy greens! Salad was fresh with just the right amount of dressing -Crispy Brussels: I'm a sucker for brussels sprouts and these were great! I could have used a tiny bit less oil, but it was all well-flavored and cooked just the right amount -Crispy Potatoes: super solid and plentiful, what's not to like? -'World Famous' Chicken Enchiladas: the enchiladas were pretty good! Nice flavor, good texture, and all the components worked well together Glad to have discovered this great MoCo spot and can't wait to come back!

Good Mexican fare in Rockville. I came here with my father and two nephews. The service was great and the menu was small but satisfying. We had the chips with three salsas and the queso dip as well. I had the pork tacos (too greasy for me), my dad had chicken tacos and the boys had steak fajitas. There was also enchilada options that we did not try. Everyone enjoyed the meal and had a good time. Everything can be made gluten-free so that was awesome (I stayed away from the crispy shrimp to be safe). I have had better Mexican food, but the place was well-decorated, the staff was friendly and we all had a good time.

We have visited Nada when it first opened, but had not been back since Covid. Has a very nice time there last night with another couple. The staff is super pleasant and the ambiance is great. When we last visited, the bulk of the menu was tapas style. This is what we were hoping for, but some time recently the menu was changed to suit individuals. The Chile Lime Margarita was tremendous. Had the perfect mix of spicy and sweet. Please beware, you may get margartia salt garnish on your nose :). The old favorites from the tapas menu are still there an excellent. The potatoes, street corn, sala taster, and Guac are fantastic. We also had the chicken and steak fajita. The presentation was awkward and both the chicken was super dry. Someone else is our group got the chicken enchiladas and while loved them, the presentation was a pot worthy of three people to share. I think this restaurant is finding there was through some sort of a refresh. As long as the team is as pleasant and the end results tastes the way it does today, please keep Nada on your dance card.

I visited this restaurant for dinner tonight with my friend. I ordered a nada lemonade and chicken fajitas as my entree. This was my first time visiting this restaurant and it won't be my last. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. Service was great and our server was very attentive as well.

I first had Nada during the pandemic but have been in-person several times since. Their happy hour small plates are such a great deal. Each plate is $5 and is perfect to share with a friend. I always ordered their cauliflower dish but have tried most of them at this point. Their tacos are also great! I love that each order comes with 3 tacos because it's the perfect amount leaving you full and satisfied. Their happy hour items and dinner menu don't overlap, so I recommend looking through their different menus beforehand scheduling your dining time :)

We ended up here because we thought our Sur La Table cooking class was that evening. As it turned out, it was actually set for the following day. We were offered a slot because a couple had canceled at the last minute, but we didn't care for the dish being prepared so opted to go have dinner elsewhere instead. I suggested Nada because I'd been there once before, right when they first opened and enjoyed the experience. This was no different, though I may have forgotten how pricey it could get when you add in drinks and appetizers. But, we had a great time out as we normally did; the food was good, almost like authentic tacos but with a bit more flair to them. Accompanied by cilantro rice and black beans, it made for a filling meal, though the tacos themselves were small. The service was great, we sat at the bar as we usually like to do and the bartender was friendly and engaging. Despite it being Saturday night, and packed to the gills, we had no complaints with regard to the speediness or quality of service. My only beef was the check, which was rather high. But hey, it was an impromptu date night and a good one at that. I'm sure we'll come again; there aren't too many upscale Mexican restaurants - I used to have to run to Riverdale to get my authentic taco fix!

I had some great hope for this one but sadly they just didn't deliver on my visit. There we are few people in the restaurant so I decided to sit at the bar to get faster service. There was a menu already at the spot and the hostess provided utensils. Trouble was the bartender left me stranded for close to ten minutes and there were only four of us at the bar. Once he took my beer and food order it was another lengthy time before he brought the drink. Pretty slow. Food arrived in a reasonable time. I ordered something simple pork tacos. Looked ok but when I tried the first one it was lukewarm warm. The soft shells also fell apart after the first bite. The black beans and rice were also room temp. Flavor was okay. Meanwhile I was finished with my drink and was looking to get another but the barkeep was busy speaking with another of the staff and I had to stand up to get his attention. Same with the bill. The interior was decorated nicely with lots of colors. Plenty of plants as well. Everyone is entitled to an off day and I hope that was it for me but slow service and room temp food are not acceptable. Hope your visit goes better.

Nice ambiance. Went here with a group of six. Suggest reservations. Spicy. Best chicken enchiladas ever!!! Drinks were meh! Pineapple mojito tasted like water. Cola was flat. Stick with beer or wine. Guac was pretty taste .

Nada has been open for some time now, and although I have wondered up and down the street at Pike & Rose where they are located numerous times, I have not entered... Until today. Nada is a casual Latino-inspired eatery and bar. The decor is at the same time simple and vibrant, with ochres and yellows, indirect lighting and cozy atmosphere that invites to imbibe and have a good time. I went during happy hour and had a mango margarita, which was delicious (but not the margarita in the happy hour menú, which was fine). I ordered from the Happy Hour Menu the beef and potato empanada (there is one per order), which arrived piping hot and served with a chipotle aïoli. The emanada was Colombian-style, made with corn flour and fried, not like a wheat flour and baked Argentinian empanada. The beef and potato stuffing was delicious, mostly beef! The aïoli was OK, but it may be a tad to rich for a fried turnover (I would have preferred a pico de gallo style fresh salsa). The service was courteous and efficient, but also very friendly... Gracias, Rodrigo! I would like to visit Nada again to try some of the main dishes and bar cocktails. "Nada" (nothing in Spanish) was definitely something!

The food and drinks I had here were great. The cocktails were good. I liked my old fashioned. The oysters tasted fresh. The Al pastor tacos and chicken tacos were delicious and moist. I also really liked the side of street corn, which I usually try if the restaurant has it on the menu. The desserts were good as well. The churros came with chocolate and caramel and the soft serve was in a caramel sauce. The food was a little pricey for what it was but it was good and I liked the vibe of the restaurant. It was open and airy with beautiful decor.

A fun birthday celebration at Nada's with a big group of eight rowdy folks with hungry bellies. And we got our full - chips and salsa, guacamole, tacos and enchiladas. Special shout out to the jalapeño cornbread - sweet and spicy, served in an iron pan. And the shrimp and fish tacos. Although the were deep fried, they weren't heavy with grease, and there was plenty of fresh cabbage in the taco to balance them out. Fun Mexican food!

Yelp
Overall a really nice meal that was quick and easy. We randomly went into Nada and it did not disappoint! I got the chip trio and brussel sprout appetizers. Both were delicious. The chips for the salsa were a bit thicker than expected but were crisp and the dips were delicious. The brussel sprouts were well flavored and the orange sauce and pumpkin seeds added a great crunch and flavor. I got the quesadilla with carne asada and it was wonderfully crispy with extra cheese overflowing! The service was attentive and helpful and they let us sit without forcing us to leave faster than we would need to! Overall a great meal!

Nada has been a favorite of mine since pre-pandemic times! They've evolved since with their menu. It is small but I enjoy the options, longer menus can be overwhelming for both the consumer and restaurant. The food from nada comes out consistent, warm and filled with flavor each time. The drinks always convince me I need one more! The blueberry lemonada tasted just like a pink lemonade, the white sangria was refreshing. Nada has a simple and classic Spanish theme. The outside seating was filled with flowers, really beautiful to be around. Service is great. We got seated quickly and they made sure we had space for a stroller. Our waiter was attentive, check on us every 10ish minutes. Overall, nada is a solid stop for brunch or for drinks if you're bar hopping around pike & rose.

Fabian M.

Yelp
Came here for brunch and it was surprisingly not bad. They have a special brunch menu for the weekend too. Place was super dead for the Saturday brunch we came on. Not sure this was due to the long weekend or the pricey menu for Mexican food. I mean the food is good, but it is basically similar to what you can get down the street at Taco Bamba with better plating. I am not sure I would come back here again based on the pricing alone. I get it, rent is probably high at pike and rose...

Dinh N.

Yelp
Went here after a bike ride and got dinner. We got the queso which was good and the fajita was also decent. The chicken is spiced well but a little dry. The sides for eh fajita were nice. Also got the drink with tequila and grapefruit which was cool because it came in a clay cup but was super light and pretty watery.

This is my second time coming to Nada. And both times the bar service has been great. When I came in, the World Cup game was on and a few folks were cheering and mingling with the bartenders. This place is beautiful to look at. I enjoyed everything we ordered (chips and salsa, quesadillas, tacos) which was all delightful. The portion sizes are just right and the prices ensure you can eat your fill. Special shout out to the churros. These churros are crispy on the outside, yet wonderfully tender on the inside. I'm not a fan of the two accompanying sauces and would love a milk chocolate, white chocolate and raspberry sauce option for dipping We will definitely go back to Nada again and again.

My boyfriend and I have done date night here and the food is good and vibe is cute. On Saturday, we went with my daughter and had lunch. The service wasn't great. We ordered our drinks together and they came out separately by about five minutes, with mine coming last. The food paralleled that, with mine coming later than the rest of the food for the table. Then, I was asked if I wanted hot sauce with my fish tacos - We love Mexican food and go quite often to get it. Never in my life have I been asked by a server if I wanted hot sauce. I felt like the woman serving us (Spanish lady with light highlighted hair) maybe had something against Black women? I don't know but it was an odd and uncomfortable experience for me. We tipped her well but the experience for me wasn't worth the money. The good things: -enchiladas -drinks -cute women's restroom

I have to give a special shout out to the staff at Nada. During our visit, a bad thunderstorm shut off the power for a bit (about 30 minutes). I'll say that the restaurant's staff made a potentially negative experience very positive. Power outages aside, I thought the food and drinks were very delicious. For my dining pleasure, I ordered the chicken and beef fajitas, and they were quite amazing. If you are starving, I highly recommend going with the fajitas because the portions are HUGE. The only small complaint: the fajitas were not sizzling when they arrived to the table. Again, this is a very minor complaint. Given the power outage issue, I will cut the restaurant some slack on the lack of "sizzle". Since I was with a large group of people, I didn't really have an opportunity to take a photo of the yummy food.

I went with my family to Nada and had an incredible time, as always! The amazing food was only matched by the phenomenal service from our waitress Barbara and the manager Jaime. Can't wait to go back!

Good atmosphere with zen vibe Compared to California Mexican restaurants I give it a 3 to 4 - for Maryland carb country it's a 7.

I came here for Cinco de Mayo and immediately noticed the fun vibe outside. We had a reservation and were seated outside. I explained to the hostess that we had a dog and they gave us a table that had plenty of room for her. We ordered the chips and salsa, carne asada tacos, enchiladas, a margarita, a Mexican coke, and churros. It was all delicious and arrived very quick even with the busier than usual crowd. The servers seemed to handle the increased workload with ease. The inside of the restaurant is really nice with dim lighting and a cool bar. Overall I was impressed with the quality of the service, food, and experience. The only thing preventing a five star rating was the price. For the items listed above the bill was $90. I know that this place is located in North Bethesda, but this just seemed really pricey for Mexican food compared to other places I have tried.

We had the opportunity to check this spot out during our visit to Rockville. We sat on the patio, it was the weekend but not too bad and we're quickly seated. We started off with the Jamaican Nights, very good cocktail, has a nice habanero kick to it, a little on a sweeter side then I'd like, but still very good. We started off with the chips and salsa, we got the trio, which is was awesome because you get unlimited of it. I loved the plantain chips with the dip. The only dip we were not a fan of was the verde, not much flavor to it. For tacos we got the Chicken Carbon Tacks, which when it came out, we felt disappointed seeing it because it looked like it would lack flavor. We were so wrong. The chicken was very flavorful, the chihuahua cheese paired so well with it and the creme and lime touch, delicious! We also got the Pork Al Pastor Tacos which were well marinated, little kick added with the sweet grilled pineapple, amazing!! Lastly, we go the Enchilada Suiza, loved that it wasn't too heavy, the tomatillo and oaxaca cheese blended all of the flavors together.

As you can see, we enjoyed every bit of our food! Also the service was awesome! The outside seating was very nice, got to see cute puppies walking by while we ate delicious food! Definitely will be back!

Very good food. Love the Brussels and potatoes, they have a kid's menu too. Need to try dessert!

Excellent service, great drinks and great food! Ruth took care of us she was amazing. We had the mahi tacos, cauliflower tacos, pork Al pastor tacos, tortilla soup, cornbread and Brussels sprouts. It was all excellent. The margaritas and sangria were great too. Wish they'd open a Nada in Loudoun County! If you're in Bethesda or Rockville definitely give them a try.

I did not think that our meal at Nada was very good. I am a little surprised by the higher ratings here. The best part of the meal was the salsa for the chips & salsa appetizer (and that's not saying much). I thought that the salsa had decent flavor and would have been even happier if one of them was a bit spicier. Our group of 6 ordered a variety of dishes -- my husband got chicken enchiladas, a number of us ordered the baja tacos, etc. I thought that the mahi in my baja tacos was off -- it did not taste fresh at all. The tacos were also served with a small side of beans and rice, but no salsa. Literally--no salsa (or event salsa fresca) or toppings for the fish tacos. Just dry tacos with fish and some cabbage slaw. Not much flavor (beside the weird tasting fish). My husband said the chicken enchiladas were probably the worst he'd had in the DC area. I'll add that the menu was also on the pricier side for Mexican, so the total bill came to almost $300 for 6 people. Overall, I was pretty underwhelmed.

Monica K.

Yelp
Stopped in for lunch and really enjoyed ourselves! This place is best if you order a variety of small plates to share with the table. We got the Mexico City ceviche, queso, fish tacos, and lamb and were impressed with all of them! We also ordered the jalapeño cornbread, which was tasty, but not our favorite of the bunch. I kid you not, I had the best drink I have ever had in my life at Nada. It's been 2 weeks since we ate hear and I am still day dreaming about the Jamaica Nights. Trust me, just order it. You won't be disappointed! All in all I can't wait to return!

Stopped here for Taco Tuesday but don't get hype as there was no special but that was fine. The food here was still worth it. My wife and I had great service and enjoyed the carne asada tacos. The chicken could've used a bit more seasoning in my opinion but still good. Nada definitely has some of the best chips and queso we've had as well.

Maya X.

Yelp
Came during happy hour with coworkers. We sat outside- luckily happy hour is throughout the whole restaurant and not just the bar! It's super cute outside. The mojito was only $7 and quite good. The jalapeño corn bread was a favorite at the table, and I would highly recommend. Tacos were average, and we couldn't mix and match which was a bummer. Service was fine, but my fork was dirty. When I got another set of silverware, the spoon was dirty. Unfortunate that it didn't seem the cleanest. Didn't seem like the cups/water were fully clean either since we found dirty stuff in our water cups.

Nneka W.

I definitely enjoyed Nada! We ate on the patio which was kind of tight but still nice, especially since it was a beautiful day outside. We ordered tapas, so we got to try a little bit of a lot on the menu. The Shrimp Ceviche is so good! Very different from any shrimp ceviche I've had and probably the best. The flavor is light, it kind of has a Thai vibe too it since its made with coconut milk and a very small amount of peanuts. Even if you don't like ceviche is a MUST try! If you like cheese try their loaded queso! It has green onions and chorizo on top! So good. Their guac is decent, nothing too special. But I will say the plantain chips and nacho chips they serve with the ceviche, queso, guac are delicious. The Lamb Barbacoa Cazuela was better than I thought it would be. It was well seasoned and not too much fat. If you like meat you should give this a try. They also have octopus, wasn't a huge fan. Their Brussel Sprouts were good but kind of forgettable. With all the options the Brussels Sprouts can easily fly under the radar. The virgin Sherry Blossom was REALLY good. It came in a small glass so it's tempting to order at least 3. The calories are worth it! Jamaican Nights was nice, it wasn't what I expected based on the ingredients but I would definitely order it again. The drink has pineapple-habanero shrubs so I thought it would have some spice but it was very mild. My favorite tacos are the Baja (fish) tacos. To be honest, the tacos are not the star of the menu. Never order them to go because they will be soggy. And for dessert! The Churros were crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and not too sweet. It comes with chocolate sauce and caramel sauce. I preferred the caramel because the chocolate had too much of twang to it. A house made french vanilla ice cream would go amazingly with these!

I've been here several times. I enjoy the aesthetic of the place, and the staff are friendly. However, the quality of the food overall is just ok. I like their salsa and queso, but otherwise the other items on the menu are just mediocre. The portions are also small for the price you pay for. The mushroom taco is especially unimpressive. The menu is also pretty small. I usually enjoy the drinks here. However, the last time we were here it was a Friday evening, and the bartender seems overwhelmed, and the drink I ordered didn't taste the same. Overall I think this place is a solid 3 star.

There is a lot of excellent dining choices at Pike and Rose in North Bethesda. Nada should be included in that list I would label Nada as upscale Tex-Mex. For me, I would place Nada between Uncle Julio's in Bethesda and the upscale Frontera Grill by Rick Bayless (who was the first chef to show me how a great cook can elevate a food genre) In Chicago. There is a definite upscale feel to Nada, both in the atmosphere and how the food is ordered and presented. The proteins when you order a fajita comes on a plate without the usual beans and rice. There is a separate plate for the toppings and tortillas. The proteins and toppings and their preparation are of the highest quality. Like other upscale places, there are a number of choices, but they are offered ala cart. I must say, if you order a fajita I felt no need to order a side; it was quite filling Being located in North Bethesda, if you have a bar, it must be first-rate. I think Nada achieves this. I had a Sangria that I found to be exceptional.the servers are friendly and attentive. When in North Bethesda, I would recommend considering Nada the next time you are looking for a nice place to eat.

Thank you for amazing impromptu drinks on Cinco de Mayo! My husband and I were walking our dog on the sidewalk by Nada, and the atmosphere was so inviting that we stopped for a couple drinks on the patio. Ana T. was super friendly and fun, and took very good care of us! She saw our Beagle and offered us a dog menu, she was so welcoming!! We ordered spicy margaritas and a doggy chicken bowl (he LOVED it!). Then we ran into a few of our neighbors, and we all sat outside and had a couple rounds of beers. It was so much fun! We felt welcome the entire time and Ana really helped make the entire experience fun and festive. Thank you so much Ana and team! We had a blast!

Ordered a kids chicken tacos and the chicken didn't look particularly fresh as if kids food was an afterthought. My kids didn't eat it and ate my food. Not a place we will frequent as the kids request what they want and that's usually where we end up going. The steak for the adult fajita was good though. 2 or 3 stars overall.

The food is tasty but pretty pricey. Came here on a Saturday night and we were seated right away. I got the ancho-crusted New York strip (entree) which I shared with my husband and my brother in law got the fish tacos. The tacos are definitely not enough to satisfy one person--they do tell you that it's tapas style. The steak was cooked just the way we like it (medium rare) and was enough for two people. I loved the chimichurri on top. However, I wish this dish came with more sides. We only got three tortillas and a small cup of beans and rice. Would definitely come back here for drinks or for a date night! The cocktails sounded good and the restaurant's interior is gorgeous.

Great place for tapas, I would yes. Tacos are small but tasty. Portions are small for a typical hungry husband. I love their churros but that's it. Every time when we leave this place (3 times), my husband is asking to stop by at block/spot to buy something else. So most of the time, we just skip nada because of the portion sizes.

My wife and I had an excellent experience at Nada the other night. The food - enchiladas, fajitas, tres leches, pineapple mojito - was delicious. The night was made special by the staff and particularly our server, Jess. At the start of the meal, Jess asked if we were celebrating anything and we told her we were. Throughout the meal, she went out of her way to make the night special. She brought us a free appetizer and we appreciated the gesture, of course. But she didn't stop there...at the end of the meal, she delivered a comped tres leches AND she and a hostess brought us a bottle of wine (to go) with a lovely card! We are super grateful for her - and her colleagues and managers who supported her - in making this special for us. This is what exceeding expectations looks like.
