Leah WarnerMarch 26, 2017Delicious is the only way to describe this place. Must gets: fire roasted tomato ancho salsa as an app, tinga quesadilla for an entree, and nada fries as a side. Add a nadarita to drink. Yummm. 🤤
Upvoted Sep 13- Lesley JJuly 9, 2017We went to NADA for the first time and started with the salsa trio and guacamole.. which was GREAT. Then, I had the salmon tacos and they are now my favorite tacos around! I can't wait to go back!
Nate RandolphJanuary 27, 2016The pork adobo is to die for. One of the best presentations of pork I have ever seen or tasted. Other restaurants have something to learn from nada. The presentation is on point and the flavor

Mary CApril 1, 2022We have been here for brunch and dinner and love it. Recommend the Paloma and Horchata for drinks. Ceviche and tacos as well as the small plates. The outdoor patio is lovely.
Tyler GrandisSeptember 25, 2015The service was the best we have ever seen. We came in with our Mets shirts for the Baseball game (obvious out of town) and were greeted with honest interest and suggestions. The food was super good!
Emily HabashApril 5, 2015We started with chips & salsa trio and a guacamole. All were delicious but L size guac was still kind of small. Margaritas, steak fajitas, pork belly tacos & baja fish tacos were all AMAZING! Loved it
Bradley CarterApril 4, 2015When you sit down, grab yourself a fresh fruit margarita (I recommend the blood orange) and order the ceviche. Follow it up with the pork belly and/fish tacos and enjoy blissful satisfaction.
Brian BaillySeptember 11, 2014Carnita tacos are some of the best I've ever eaten. Our server was amazing, very knowledgable in all menu items. Awesome atmosphere.
Michael TchouNovember 19, 2015You can't go wrong. The fish tacos and barbacoa tacos were amazing, and the fresh, warm homemade chips with guacamole or salsa were delicious!
Try the chicken tacos and add rice! So good! The house margarita is very tasty with lots of tequila so be careful, it will creep up on you!
BenAugust 13, 2015Get tacos! They're amazing. The entrees menu is disappointing, so I definitely recommend just sticking with what they're known for. (The cocktails are interesting too)
Pete Van BaalenDecember 29, 2013Maybe the best Mexican food I've ever had. Green chili pork enchiladas was amazing, as was the Mac n Cheese. Also great bartenders upstairs.
Guacamole to start. Shrimp tacos are amazing and so fresh. Cool vibe here. Patio or inside are both good options.
Lucille FisherMay 29, 2015Happy hour at the bar. They have two bars, street level & upstairs. Can't go wrong with the tacos & salsas.
Cincinnati History PhotosFebruary 21, 2013The Cincinnati Times-Star was headquartered here from 1892 to 1933. Here newsboys are seen outside the building with a baseball extra in August 1908.
Tom SnyderJanuary 18, 2014Wonderful food. Highly recommend. Great guacamole Mac and cheese and the grilled chicken tacos. Margs are tasty too! Highly recommend.
Alicia WanderlustSeptember 23, 2017BBQ tacos are amazing as well as the hot homemade jalapeno sauce. Only minus - your will smell of tacos from head to toe once out
Scott KritesApril 17, 2016Start your meal off with the Mac and cheese...awesome! Chips and guacamole are really good too! Chicken tacos were just okay.
Happy hour = awesome. Carnitas and pork belly tacos with a side of guac and chips. Wash it down with a $3 corona and you'll already forget it was Monday.
You can't go wrong at Nada. Mexican mac and cheese, corn tamale...any of the tacos. It's a restaurant from Chef Falk, the man doens't make bad tasting food. Just shut up and enjoy.
NathanApril 14, 2013AWESOME place to eat! BEST Mexican food I've ever had, hands down! Chips, salsa, guacamole, carnita tacos were all amazing. Must try!
Adam TarkoMay 28, 2015Had the barbacoa and pork tacos; both were amazing but the pork especially had a great distinct crispiness to it!
Chandresh LadvaOctober 16, 2014Mushrooms in the Veggie tacos are cooked perfectly, the Mac and Cheese was a nice take, and the kreeper salsa is a must try.
Chung-yee NgoOctober 26, 2017Tried almost all the tacos, and they were all pretty bland. The best ones were the pork belly and the Baja. Pretty disappointing after seeing all the positive reviews.
Ana BretonJune 12, 2013The guacamole is so good you'll stare straight into the eyes of Jesus. Jesus is one of the cooks, probably. Best Mexican food in southwest Ohio.
Brian NeumannJune 12, 2011I always order the carnitas tamal at brunch. Def one of my favorite brunch spots in the city, especially when the weather is perfect to eat on their patio.
I always try and hit Nada when I'm in town. Best fish tacos and guac hands down! The carnitas tamal for brunch is kick ass!
Brooks FinneganNovember 6, 2010Barbacoa short rib tacos served with pickled red onions are best tacos on the menu. As you can't mix and match tacos, goes with three friends and each order a different taco plate
Katie MarkgrafNovember 21, 2015The salsa - the creeper - is no joke. Most delicious salsa I've had. Chorizo quesadilla was also good!
Rory ParnessJuly 5, 2015Crispy pork belly taco for appetizer and the chicken, chorizo stew as your main. Bam!
P J ElmerOctober 24, 2014Tables of 6 or more automatically warrants a 20% tip added to your bill...but you know, it's all good :-)

Debbie WildrickMarch 12, 2013Awesome food! Kind of upscale / new American Mexican and rockin on a Monday night.
Ben LloydMarch 24, 2019Wow - sounds odd but the Sir Winston’s Pot Roast taco is so friggin good! Try it!
Lacy ElliottJuly 12, 2017Amazing margaritas and haven't had one bad thing on the menu food wise yet.
Best chips and guacamole in Cincinnati! Also the pink grapefruit margarita is to die for!
ArtemiDecember 8, 2015Great food, just don't order spicy one, believe me, it is going to be too much for you.
Rodrigo BeisteguiSeptember 29, 2014Nice place for an American Mexican food; going for drinks also a good option. Tacos are good
Tom O'BrienMay 31, 2012Skip the fajitas, eat the tacos - esp Carnitas & Barbacoa. Delish. I grew up in Guadalajara so I know tacos!
RaShaun HarrisOctober 20, 2016Chicken tacos are good but expensive @ 2/$10. Kinda salty but enjoyable. Keep in mind you're paying for ambiance. Food is good but not to die for.
Mexican Mac and cheese is amazing. For brunch drinks, try the velvet underground
