Came by on a Friday afternoon around 5 PM, and they were super packed. I biked there so parking wasn't a problem, but cars were parked on the gravel sides out on Cesar Chavez. However, we were still quickly seated at a table, and service was fantastic throughout the stay. Happy Hour M-F, 3:30-6:30 (basically $1 off small drinks) Seasonal Frozen Margs (Strawberry, Mango, 8/10) - SUPER STRONG MARGS!!! We were recommended this place because of the strong drinks, and they did not disappoint. - after ordering both strawberry and mango, we were not able to taste the difference. Both tasted like alcohol haha. Frozen drinks were good in the summer though Crispy Beef Taco (4/10, $6) - literally Taco Bell tacos. Comes with with 2 - not sure if I read the menu wrong, but I thought that the beef would be Crispy. Turns out that it's just the taco shell that's Crispy filled with beef. The filling itself was quite tender and juicy, but would not get this again. - others at the table got the regular soft tacos (verduras), and they said those are really good. Chips/Salsa ($1.5) - comes with three different salsas, which are all quite spicy Overall, a fun and busy spot with great service and good vibes. Drinks are super, super strong yet reasonably priced. Don't get the crispy beef taco unless you're craving Taco Bell. read more

We had never been here before, so decided to try it on a Saturday around noon. We were happily surprised that they were not overly crowded and they have plenty of seating inside and out. The inside really gave me the feeling of Mexico. We got a variety of different tacos and I really enjoyed mine, although I will say I did not care for the blue corn tortillas. Just my personal preference and next time I would know to ask for something else. The waitstaff was very attentive and the prices were very reasonable. It was a nice lunch! read more

Wowsers! This place is ON POINT!!! We came here with friends who are local and they know their stuff! The service was very good and the food was even better. Special call outs for me on the queso, which is one of the best I've ever eaten, and the Spicy Pineapple Margarita. The restaurant was lively (we ate inside) but not too loud, as they have several separate eating areas and that helps keep the noise down a bit, which is great! You can still enjoy chatting with friends but it's not shouting level loud. All of the items I had were gluten free, and that is amazing. The blue corn tortilla was phenomenal. Highly recommend this spot and I advised my friends that every time we visit now, we must come here on our way back to the airport! A new ritual! read more

This place was popping! Everybody was here!! What a fun spot to be! So we stopped by on our way to dinner- hoping we could stay- but there was a 1 hour wait so make a reservation!!! We were not able to taste their delicious food and just had some chips and drinks by the bar on our way. Still: the atmosphere here was great, service was fast considering the place was so full! And the crowd was super young and trendy. We will definitely be back to try their food: it looked so good and we have heard great things. Until Next time! Enjoy but make a reservation!! read more

Pro tip: order the tamales, only available on Sat & Sun. Oh man. Every thing we ordered -- chef's kiss. The birria tacos were a great portion, filled with a sufficient amount of good tasting meat. From the queso and guac (fantastic) to the barbacoa tacos, everything did just have a great taste. Will absolutely be back and, certainly, when we have visitors to get a great taste of Austin. Sufficient seating, inside and out, despite having "hole in the wall" vibes. read more

Came here for dinner with a group of friends this weekend and overall had a decent experience. Our server was super sweet and obviously the margaritas were good. The food was pretty decent, I got the quesadillas which almost reminded me of an empanada! Only complaint was that service was super slow. We only had two parties ahead of us for a table and it took an hour to be seated even though there were plenty of empty tables that just needed to be cleared off. read more

The tacos are very good. Love the freshly made corn tortillas and the use of fresh ingredients. You can easily tell that they are paying attention to the details. Flavors are very good. Chips and guacamole were good but I felt the portion size was on the lighter side particularly with the accompanying salsa. Service was friendly and fast. read more

Delicious! Amazing ambiance, great service, incredible food and drinks. With a growing line at the hostess stand, they were able to find us a table for two inside. Food came out fast! Like, really fast. Not sure how, but they did. Almost every seat was filled. Saw young people, families with young kids, older people...Don't know how we haven't visited the place already! Decent parking lot across the street (though fills fast), otherwise find street parking. read more

The drinks were good but the service could have been better. They told us the table we were sitting at was reserved and said we had to move somewhere else but didn't direct us to where when we asked. So we moved to another table across the alleyway and they told us and other people to move again too! First of all there were no reserved signs on any tables. Also, what kind of place allows you to buy drinks and not have anywhere to sit/stand? The workers didn't even know where to direct anyone so we just chugged our drinks and left. read more

Everyone kept talking about this place- a friend mentioned it, we went to watch an interview with the Poppi crater and she said this was her favorite place in Austin, everyone in the audience cheered. We had to come here. There is not a lot of parking, so we had to park on the street behind the restaurant, but there was blocked window glass everywhere. I counted 14 different windows on the street. So now I'm paranoid sitting at the restaurant thinking someone is going to break into my car while I'm eating. We were road tripping and all of our luggage was in the car. We were sat immediately, and helped quickly. We were paranoid about the car so we tried to get our order in asap. The food came out quickly. Good news and not so good news-the vegetable taco and sweet potato tacos were amazing, mouthwatering, soft, warm! The rice and beans were very generic, no flavor, and seasoning. The tacos were so good, but with the parking issues and paranoia of having a car break in, I don't see myself coming back again. I'm just paranoid though. read more

We arrived around noon and the restaurant was completely packed, inside and outside. It was also near the end of the route for the Austin marathon. They were fast and efficient getting us in to a table, gave us our timeline and were efficient enough to serve us completely and turn the table on time. Everyone worked together to make sure that this worked! The food is incredible! I love the margaritas and the quesadilla, chicken chipotle is my favorite! Love it here, every time! read more

A friend recommended we try De Nada Cantina on our trip to Austin, and it was so good we ended up going back twice. That says everything. The food is solid and definitely hits the spot, but the margaritas are STRONG and so good. Truly some of the best margs we had on the trip. If you are looking for a fun night with great drinks, this is the place. It is kind of a hole in the wall vibe, but absolutely packed. It really felt like the place to be. Such a fun hidden gem and I am so glad it was recommended to us. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in Austin read more

De Nada Cantina is one of those spots my friends and I end up at constantly -- and for good reason. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is on point. The green lighting and lush interior make it feel like you've been transported straight to the Yucatán Peninsula, not just grabbing tacos in Austin. The service is excellent every single time. Friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming, even when the place is buzzing. And yes... the drinks are famous for a reason. The margs are STRONG and dangerously delicious, the kind where you take a sip and immediately understand the hype. Absolute must-order. As for the food, the tacos are some of the best in town -- super flavorful, well-executed, and consistently satisfying. Everything just hits especially the carnitas tacos which I go back to every time. This is a go-to spot for me and my friends, whether we're kicking off a night or just craving really great tacos and cocktails. read more

TL;DR: Pricy overall but good food and vibes. I might come back if I am in the area. Food: I ordered 3 tacos: Carnitas, Verduras, and Camarones Pibil. I also had the cucumber skinny margarita. I really enjoyed the tacos as they were a decent size for the price of around ~$5-6 each. I would especially order the camarones and verduras tacos again. The shrimp in the camarones taco is very flavorful and soft. I was pleasantly surprised with the mushroom pico in the verduras -- the mushroom flavor is quite noticeable and works well with the zucchini. The margarita was $14, and I do not think I would order it again for the size. The cup is not very large, and it was just alright. I would rather order two more tacos! Service: It's quick and to the point. You look at the menu from a QR code, and the waiter comes around pretty often. They were very on top of refilling water and asking if you need anything, which was very nice. Ambiance: We sat outside, so it is hard to give a fair representation. Despite the cold, it was not too bad though as there were heat lamps near each table. read more

Came here for a nice brunch with friends. Such a great spot with outdoor seating with the best atmosphere and amazing staff to help you order just what you need. This time we tried the BIRRIA CON HUEVOS Y QUESO (Smoked Birria, Consume, Scrambled Eggs,Sauteed Onions, Cilantro, Monterey Jack) and the REVOLCADOS CON POTATOES (Carnitas, Scrambled Eggs, Potato Hash, Poblano & Onion) both were so good and they have the coffee shop next door on the menu so you can get an assortment of beverages for your meal pairing! Highly recommend getting your next weekend brunch here! read more

We went here for my sister's birthday the other day. I really enjoyed this place. I loved the ambience and the pink decorations. We were seated outside, which was a little too hot for me, I know next time to sit inside. I tried the chicken taco, Barbacoa taco, and the bean and cheese Mexico City quesadilla. Everything I tried was delicious. We ordered chips and queso for the table, some of the best I've had. Service was a little slow, although it was packed. read more

I love De Nada Cantina! It is a must visit every time I am in town; what is there not to love about margs and tacos :) De Nada Cantina has great ambience, food, drinks, and the staff is always a pleasure! They have a full tequila bar too! Plenty of choices for the tequila conessuior (like me ;). Their agua frescas are delicious and refreshing, and can be added to any tequila of choice. I love their souvenirs as well (t-shirts and pink cups). The margaritas (frozen or on the rocks) are delicious and refreshing and pack a punch! I usually order the chips with salsa, guac and queso, and it always hits! I prefer the hard tacos, but also love the quesadillas! The birria taco is also yummy! Check them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Came here with a friend for a catch up and drinks. This place is so cute. There's plenty of seating indoors and out. The outside has tons of plants and low lighting at night. There were a few pots that requested that patrons not pour margaritas in them. Poor plants. My friend had eaten before and I hadn't. So they went with just chips and salsa and I went with a quesadilla in addition. We both ordered the regular margarita. It was so good. They do have special margaritas, when we went it was mango and guava and neither one appealed to me. The classic still hit the spot on a warm Texas night. The staff is super good at refilling the water they brought us as soon as we were seated. The quesadilla that came out was more of an empanada: the outside is closed and crisp with a big space in the middle instead of being a flattened folded over tortilla like I was expecting. read more

Unique, lively, authentic cantina! De Nada has some amazingly crafted, authentic tacos. The paloma is one of the best I've had in Austin. I like an excuse to come here. I also love getting this take-out because they pack it well without sogging up the tacos. Service is excellent and friendly. I've only had to sit outdoors and I am transported to Mexico every time. read more

came for the famous margaritas and they are STRONGG. i can understand why they have a limit. i tried the mango flavor and it was yummy. sadly, the food is on the pricey side and the portions are small. would definitely say don't come here on an empty stomach but come here for the margaritas!! read more

De Nada Cantina is as much about the vibe as it is about the food. Whether you're there for lunch time or a midnight snack - you're in for a good time. Everything you've heard about their frozen margarita is true - pace yourself! I'm a huge fan of the carnitas quesadilla. I usually order a couple of those, along with a couple of tacos. They also tend to host pop up events here that are a lot of fun. They have a parking lot which can get quite full, and parking tends to back up into the main street. As long as you're careful, it's really no biggie. read more

My friends kept mentioning De Nada, so naturally we decided to stop by this spot to celebrate a friend's birthday. Let me start off by saying, a long holiday weekend draws in more customers. Upon arrival, we waited by the inside bar to order frozen margaritas, only to be told they sold out - wait for a fresh batch and come back in 20 minutes. Well guess what, we kept checking and every 20mins - same story - sold out! Our party of 9 was then seated for dinner, so at the very least I thought, we should be able to get some frozen margaritas - nope - same problem - sold out! I decided to stick to the same cocktail, the prickly pear, which was decent. The ambiance is low key and super casual - nothing fancy. What saved this review from being 2 stars, was the carnitas, which I definitely enjoyed. Would I come back? No. read more

De Nada Cantina - Carnitas Tacos (2) & Prickly Pear - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Walking into a green room for a casual eat is very confusing at first but you immediately get comfy in this eclectic set up. It feels as though you're sitting in the back of someone's garage Their Barbacoa taco is literally insane. I've never had anything melt in my mouth the way this taco did. Their rice and beans were nuts as well. With their beans having an unexpected heat to it but not too much to sway someone who is spicy sensitive Their classic marg also had me feeling a little ~tipsy~ which as a heavy weight drinker is a shock to me. All around great time and if you're in Austin please treat yourself read more

I've heard of this place since I moved permanently to Austin in April 2024 and was excited when my plans gave me an opportunity to finally try it this weekend (thanks Taylor Swift for releasing The Life of a Showgirl) I got there around 2:30pm on Thursday, October 2 and it was surprisingly busy! I guess folks in Austin are more casual and are ready for the weekend by Thursday.... I got a prime seat by the fountain in the middle. It was strange having the bird fly in and out but he didn't bother my food so I wouldn't say that's a complaint :) I ordered the carnitas taco, camote taco, bean & cheese quesadilla, and frozen strawberry marg. My food came out before my drink so I had to pace myself. Eventually my server explained that an ACL crew was filming an ad in their bar area so she couldn't access it and promptly comped my drink!! Everything was so yummy and the quality surprised me. I would be happy to bring out-of-town friends if they are interested in the future! read more

Oh, gracias de nada. This place is small, or just super popular. Sometimes there's a mega wait- other times there's a...mega wait. The parking situation isn't the best- somehow there's never a spot. But will I go back? Uh, duh. The food always hits. But right now all I can think about is the amazing cocktails. This is one of my favorite spots in the middle of summer to come and lose track of time over cocktails with my friends. They have a solid fruit cup con tajin and if I'm remembering correctly some alcoholic popsicles. The ambiance feels very authentically Mexico. Literally, don't try to say I'm wrong. I'm first gen- I've been to the motherland plenty. read more

Barbacoa and shrimp taco were packed with flavor! Loved them as an easy but filling dinner that doesn't compromise taste. I recommend the corn tortilla (it is tender and doesn't rip or is a undercooked like most yellow corn are). Wait time was about ten minutes at the bar for a dinner meal. It was semi full but there is plenty of space outside and inside and you can ask to be seated in a particular area. There is a host at the entrance. read more

I was very excited to try De Nada because of all the hype around the city about their food and margaritas. Unfortunately, I left feeling underwhelmed by the rushed service and the quality of the food. It's important to add that service-wise, the host was very kind and responsive. When we mentioned that the pico de gallo didn't taste good, she graciously replaced it with guacamole, which we appreciated. However, the food overall just wasn't good. We ordered quesadillas but received their version, which felt more like empanadas, leaving us a bit confused. The best parts of the restaurant are definitely the ambiance and the margaritas, You really only need one margarita to feel the buzz. If this restaurant were to improve its food quality and offerings, along with more friendly and attentive service, it could easily be a five-star spot. I would come back for the margaritas, though. read more

For a crowded local hotspot, the food is impressive. I had the beef and barbacoa tacos, both of which had great texture and flavor, served on their house-made blue corn tortillas. They are well-known for their margaritas, which my friends thoroughly enjoyed, and I appreciated their selection of Mexican beers, including Pacifico, Victoria, and Corona. The service was good, but the ambiance was quite loud and filled with a younger crowd. **Recommended Dishes:** Flan, Chips, and Salsa, Barbacoa Taco **Recommendation for Vegetarians:** Highly recommend **Dietary Restrictions:** They offer gluten-free options, but be aware that there are peanuts in their kitchen. **Parking Space:** Parking can be difficult to find. **Parking Options:** Free street parking is available. read more

Review Title: Come for the margs, leave with questionable dignity  If you've ever looked at your life and thought, "What this Tuesday really needs is a 1:00 AM 'Are you awake?' text to my ex," then look no further. The Vibe-- The ambiance is the perfect Mexican cantina imitation. The food isn't exactly life-changing, but that's okay; it's really just a sponge designed to keep you upright while the drinks do their work. Let's talk about those margaritas. They are essentially liquid "I miss us" texts served over ice. One sip and you're the life of the party; three sips and you're in the back of an Uber trying to explain your childhood trauma to a stranger. If you want a hangover served with a heavy side of shame, this is your holy grail. Pro-Tip: Respect the two-margarita limit. Anything beyond that puts you firmly in the Blackout Zone, where your dignity goes to die. read more

De Nada Cantina - The margaritas in question. - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

We went here during happy hour, and it had such a great ambiance. I really loved the interior with the water fountain and green ceiling. We had a reservation so we didn't have to wait, but there were a lot of walk-ins waiting for a table. We ordered a frozen mango margarita, chips & queso, black bean & cheese quesadilla, and carnitas & cheese quesadilla. The margarita was really good - it had a great texture and flavor. The queso might have been the best queso I've had in Austin so far. The quesadillas were also really good especially considering mine was only $4. Overall, highlights were the marg and queso for us, and the amount of food we ordered was perfect for 2 people. read more

De Nada is an Austin staple for a reason! The food is delicious, the drinks are drinkity, the vibes are immaculate. My friends and I came for happy hour which is the best time to go!! The thing about the staples is you need to be strategic about when you go. Parking is limited in the area, but those drinks are STRONG so get a ride if you need one. You can also reserve a table so you're not waiting in the Texas heat. Sitting outside is still great with all the umbrellas and fans they got going. The drink staples: frozen margaritas (lime, strawberry, and mango) slap everytime; for a NA option that ginger mocktail is amazing! My only thing was the tajin was giving homemade which I LIVE, but it tasted like barbecue sauce. Food: chips and queso were so delicious. There was a meatiness without it being ground beef Tex-Mex-y. The chips were crunchy and not too salty (as someone who doesn't like salt). read more

Food was OK, much better alternatives but if you want a quick bite and a good margarita it's worth a stop. HOWEVER, they clearly over served a patron during my visit who puked all over the floor. Fine, sh*t happens but NO ONE cleaned or even made an attempt to clean while we were seated. read more

I only recommend the drinks here but not the food besides chips and guacamole. read more
