Overall experience was a 5 as all three of us loved what we ordered! Service was slow after we first ordered to the point I had to get up to ask about some drinks, hence the 4 stars here. Can't go wrong with the carnitas, camote or barbacoa tacos. We also devoured the de nada trio! All delish. Out of towner was delighted!!! I didn't love the cider margarita and that was the only f&b downside. Can't wait to go back and try some other things. And take some better pics. Not sure why these are tinted green.

It was a wonderful experience for us & brought the spirit of the Austin to our night & was definitely a memorable stop along the way . What caught my eye was at the barkeep , straight out of a sequel of Julia Robert’s pretty woman and Jesse Spano sequel to showgirls ..Julia , oh Julia ?Parking: Great spot right up front

Ambiance is spectacular. Wonderful relaxed vibes with great color and theme. The food was super clean, not heavy at all. Highly recommend the smoked bean and cheese quesadilla, guacamole and carnitas taco. My only feedback, the flavors could be intensified a bit. The salsas lacked the burst of flavor

I had been looking forward to trying De Nada after reading so many positive rave reviews and amazing pictures but this visit was very disappointing. We ordered the chips and queso as an appetizer but what we received was nasty, over cooked, curdled "queso". It was abysmal...it didn't look appealing and it did not taste good. We ordered 2 frozen margaritas (mango) which were good and strong. I had mine on the rocks and got the prickly pear but it couldn't have tasted farther from that. It had a weird chemical taste and just all around disappointing. For tacos I got the barbacoa taco which was ok. A bit lackluster on the flavor but lime and salsa helped uplift it. $6 a piece? Sheesh. This place is all smoke and mirrors with it's cool Mexican greenhouse vibe and decor but all it's got going for it are the frozen margaritas.

Very Austin vibe. Outside seating and indoor but it wasn't air conditioned so I thought it would be a greenhouse effect to sit inside. I got the lunch special with barbacoa and carnitas tacos. Both meats were very good. The white rice with corn and cilantro were very buttery and refried beans were very smoky. The kale salad was tasty too. It definitely feels like white people mexican but it's not bad and the drinks looked good!

I had a huge craving for crunchy tacos, and I have been wanting to try De Nada. The atmosphere is energetic and bustling. It’s a vast space, and they converted the parking lot to accommodate diners. For as busy and big as the place is, the service is pretty good. I enjoyed the dip sampler! The queso was sooo good. My boyfriend enjoyed his quesadilla! I loved the crunchy tacos!

This is such a fun spot!! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a margarita, good queso, and delicious tacos!Between the guacamole and queso, I really enjoyed the queso. The guacamole was still good but I wanted extra queso!For the tacos, I tried the Barbacoa, Carnitas, and Pollo. Loved them all! So much so, I got a second Barbacoa taco ?The atmosphere is fun too. So much seating inside and outside and overall just a great spot. If you go, I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

We picked up several different tacos for takeout from here, everything was delicious! The tacos were deconstructed, which was perfect for keeping them ideal for eating ~20 minutes after the order was ready for pick up.The blue corn tortillas are really good. The crispy mushroom tacos were awesome, so were the verduras tacos. For reference, our group can’t handle spicy food - crispy mushroom and crispy beef tacos were not spicy at all, verduras had bites that were hot but very edible. We each ate 2-3 tacos.We picked up around 7pm on a weeknight and it was mobbed, clearly very popular. Parking lot right by the restaurant seemed on the small side.Vegetarian options: Three vegetarian taco options, severa sides
