    Caramelized Cauliflower Tacos
    Brit W.

    I was in town on a business trip so I sat at the bar being that I was single for dinner. The bartenders were very friendly, attentive and chatted me up. The atmosphere was very nice, clean, fun, and modern. The crispy Brussels sprouts were very delicious. Be sure to ask for their hot sauce to go along with the cauliflower tacos as that really added some kick to them. The raspberry lemonade was a great addition to an already great meal. It was a nice modern take on Mexican. I'll definitely visit again when I am in Columbus again.

    I've always heard about Nada, but had never stopped in. We had a reservation for a larger group on a Monday and were seated immediately. Our server was super nice, but the service was ridiculously slow. It took us forever to get our chips/salsa/queso and our food. I got the carmelized cauliflower tacos and was really disappointed. The cauliflower was not carmelized and really just had a slight char on it. They had forgot to put my order in, so I had to wait for it, and when it came out, it was only room temperature. Overall, I probably won't be returning, but since the server was nice, I don't want to ding them too far.

    My girl and I were in Cincy for the weekend and bouncing around downtown having a few drinks and bites to eat. We stopped at Nada because we have one in Columbus and had just walked a few blocks in 90 degree heat. We sat at the bar and had a Tito's and grapefruit juice and I noticed a clear green Leblon bottle. I asked the bartender what it was and what can she make with it. Turns out this is a rum that Brazilians use to make Caipirinha, sort of a mojito without all the sugar because they use Agave syrup. We ordered one each and grilled Mahi Baja tacos. WOW! The tacos were amazing with the black beans and rice but the Caipirinha was unreal! Perfect summertime drink. The two just paired perfectly. I loved how knowledgeable our bartender was and so glad she introduced us to this cocktail. Great time with of course great company!

    Was here with my daughter and granddaughter. First time for me . The inside decor was really different and very cool . We ate outside on the patio . We were the only one out there as they were having a slow night . I have to say it's alittle pricey. A carafe of margaritas was sixty dollars . They were good but again over priced . This is a upscale American Mexican restaurant. The chips were good but the queso cheese did not have much flavor at all . We split the El jefe fajitas which was very good. Also 49.00 . Our waiter Alex was very nice and checked on us often . It's worth stopping in for a drink just to see the decor .

    It was me and my friends birthday so we wanted to try someplace new. I had passed by Nada for years but for whatever reason I had never had the pleasure of dining here. This seemed like the perfect night to give it a try. First the bad. This is a little Pro Tip. Make sure you don't eat here when there is an event at the Arena. When we arrived to park it was a madhouse. Kids and families were all arriving to enjoy Disney on ice. Parking was $22. What was I thinking?!! Beside that one horrible start to the evening, everything went amazing from there! Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. Since it was our first time, she offered us to try her favorites. She sold them so well, we just had her surprise us. We had some chips and salsa (wow those chips were crunch delicious) and ceviche to start. So good. Then we had the enchiladas with a side of street corn. Wow! Everything was so good! We had such a wonderful night dining here. We were treated so well. I will definitely be back! Except next time I'll make sure there isn't an event next door.

    I loved our date night here. We had chips with three different salsas. I liked two of them. The habenero creeper was too strong in the apple cider vinegar for me, but that's ok. I ordered the carne asada tacos with corn tacos and they were so satisfying. My husband got the salmon tacos and enjoyed them too. I appreciated the carafe of water left on the table. Service was great.

    Nada is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is always on point and I have tried many dishes/sides. The enchiladas, the caramelized cauliflower tacos (with garlic whipped goat cheese!) , and the kreeper sauce are a few to highlight. Also a little tip- they have fried plantains on the kids menu that used to be on the normal menu.. tossed in Tajin and our server recommended a chipotle dipping sauce. Absolutely delicious. And the drinks are mouthwatering. I really enjoy the Chile-mango marg. Great place to go for a nice dinner or even lunch on an idle Tuesday. They also have brunch Saturday and Sunday!

    Was it delicious? Yes. Do i feel full after spending $15 on 3 tacos? No, no I do not. I could quite literally eat one taco in two bites for reference on size. While the flavors were beautiful and the presentation was flawless, I just don't think I could justify spending that kind of money on them. Service was fast. Place was popping -- definitely get reservations. We were lucky enough to sit at the bar.

    Ancho Crusted Chicken Fajitas

    We were going to a Blue Jackets game and decided to come here before. We had a reservation at 3:45pm and got right in and sat down. It was pretty quiet in the restaurant and started picking up around 5. The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is great. We ordered the chips and salsa and also the queso. The chips and salsa were extremely underwhelming. It came in a trio and I didn't like any of them and was surprised they didn't have a red salsa. The queso was also very average. Our waitress let us know that the fajitas were big enough to split... which I'm not sure I agree with, but they were excellent and saved this review from being lower. The chicken was fantastic!

    Our softball team was in town for a tournament and the staff at Nada could not be any more accommodating in hosting our team dinner on short notice. Upon arrival they seated us in their separate private dining area and proceeded to deliver an outstanding experience with their dedication on ensuring we had great time while enjoying satisfying and tasty dishes. The enchiladas and fajitas were popular with the group and I enjoyed having the street corn and quesadilla with chicken. The jalapeño corn bread is filling and a flavorful option to share with others. I never realized there was a Nada in the Washington D.C. area and when I am up by the Bethesda, MD location I intend to stop in based on how well my visit went at this Columbus restaurant.

    Spicy margarita.

    I'm curious if the restaurant changed hands? I remember going here before and it was good but last night the food was awful. I'm not one to write negative reviews but I truly want people to know what they should expect. The plantain chips with the ceviche were burnt, the steak on the carne asada tacos was rare, and there was too much lime on the elote. Our server was kind and did a great job but the food was not worth it. I'm disappointed.

    I've been hearing everyone rave about this place for a while now and was excited to come and try it. It was very busy and they accommodated our large party very well since there were probably about 10 of us with reservation for a going away party. This restaurant primarily serves tacos ( or at least that's all I hear about). I ordered the cauliflower tacos and my friend had the Maji and we split them. To be honest... I wasn't that impressed. They felt very much like condado and they were incredibly small for how much they cost. The drinks were fantastic though would go back for their cocktail that is their version of a Manhattan. Salsas we're also great!

    Nice little "upscale" Mexican joint behind nationwide arena, good guacamole, house salsa is good, our meals came out hot and delicious. The service was perfect, our waitress was nice, smiled and made great suggestions, she went the extra mile. Overall good experience and good food w/ great service. Note: we dined for lunch

    Are there gluten free options on the dinner menu?

    Hi Aya! We have a ton of gluten free options on our menu. Almost the entire menu is gluten free or can be modified to be gluten free!… 

    How much is the flan? I can't find it on the menu or the website. also anyone know if they will do a discount if you buy a catered amount of flan? Thanks in advance! :)

I sit at the bar and I'm greeted by something I've never had ever...chips served with 2 red salsas, a verde salsa and bean dip! Usually you just get chips, a small bowl and a carafe of salsa, help yourself. This set the tone that this would be different than usual. I ordered steak fajita nachos and a Modelo Negra. I powered thru the chips and bean dip like it was my job. And it didn't disappoint. Really fresh and flavorful. Nachos are nachos, right? Wrong. How they are assembled has everything to do with their mouth feel as they cool down. I've had nachos that come out looking amazing but as they cool, turn into a disappointing chuck of chips held together by shredded cheese cement. These stayed loose with crunchy bites of peppers and onions, and the cheese sauce coated instead of becoming cement-like. I always order the same thing when trying a New Mexican spot. If the nachos are good, chances are everything is good! So I'll keep the almost 5 Star steak going. I agree, some of the best Mexican food in Columbus.

    While I was in Korea, I came across a story that stopped me in my tracks--one of those moments when…read morethe weight of someone else's experience hits close to home. Ricardo, a waiter at Cazuela's Mexican Cantina in Reynoldsburg, had finished serving a table, expecting the usual--a tip, a simple acknowledgment of his hard work. Instead, he received a hateful message scrawled on the receipt, the kind that cuts deeper than words should. Ricardo works at Cazuela's only on Sundays, a second job to help make ends meet. So today, in between my OCIA responsibilities, I decided to stop by--to meet him, to shake his hand, and to remind him that there are far more good people in this world than the ones who spew hate. As we talked, I saw a man who carries himself with quiet dignity, someone who simply wants to work hard and provide for his family. I shared with him that I, too, know what it feels like to be told to "go back to your country," even though, like him, I am an American. I told him about my childhood, standing in front of my family's Crestview Market, hearing the ugly chants from passing cars--some driven by kids I went to school with. But today wasn't just about reliving painful memories; it was about something greater--the power of community, of kindness that drowns out cruelty. When I arrived at Cazuela's, I wasn't alone. Others had also come to show their support, to stand with Ricardo. He told me the outpouring of kindness had been overwhelming, and I was relieved to hear it. Before I left, I handed him my WARM card and told him if he ever needed help, he could call me. Because no one should feel alone in moments like these. And, by the way, if you ever stop by Cazuela's, their enchiladas and Mexican rice are fantastic. The chips and salsa? Fresh and addictive. And my server, Isabel--attentive, kind, and everything a great waitress should be. Some people choose to spread hate. But today, I saw so many more people choosing love. And thats what matters.
