This place never disappoints! One of my favorites in Austin. Great vibes and upbeat energy. Music is amazing. The food is incredible, I’m a big fan of their birria tacos. Don’t even get me started on how delicious and strong the margs are. IYKYK. Service was attentive and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a lively spot with amazing food and drinks, this is it. Highly recommend!

Wow! What amazing service from Edgar, he suggested the Pollo Enchiladas which were a hit! I also had a Watermelon Agua Fresca and a salsa tray that was amazing. Had a great time and 100% will be back soon. Thanks Edgar!

Went to the South 1st location for the first time and had a great time! My friends and I had a great night - food and drinks were great but what stood out was the service from one particular server- Casey! Casey went above and beyond to provide great service to our table and those around us as well! Being the second day fully operational we were all so impressed with Casey’s ability to provide such amazing service! De Nada always has great drinks and food, no doubt, but we received the best service due to our server Casey! We will be repeat customers because of people like Casey who are so personable and thoughtful! Overall great experience!

Vibes all day and night! Potent tasty margaritas. Food as flavorful as you'd hoped for when embarking upon this adventure of Mexican cuisine. Awesome, friendly staff! I've saved this spot and will be back on the regular. Cheers

De Nada Cantina is straight up the spot. The whole place has a fun buzz to it and the margaritas are famously strong. Found out real quick that the rumors were true because my girl took one sip and was acting like she got hit with a tranquilizer dart. One drink in and she was already reconsidering her life choices. We didn’t have a reservation so the wait ran close to an hour, but it wasn’t bad. Everyone’s hanging out, music going, and there’s a margarita bar in the parking lot. Just know that rolling in hungry and drinking while you wait can turn you into a cautionary tale real fast. When we finally sat down, the chips and queso showed up faster than two squirrels fighting over a Cheeto. I ordered three tacos and let the server freestyle the last pick. Ended up with a quesadilla that slapped way harder than expected. If you’re visiting Austin, put this place on your list. The vibe is fun, the drinks hit a little too hard, and the food is worth the wait.

I don’t drink alcohol so I don’t normally sit at the bar but I’m super grateful that I did today. The crispy tacos are great. Edgar is AWESOME!!! This is our third or fourth time eating at De Nada and I can honestly say it’s our best experience so far. He is very attentive and knowledgeable.

Our server Edgar T is amazing! He recommended the best food. The Barbacoa taco is amazing. And the chicken enchiladas are also great. The Paloma’s are so so good, best I have ever had! Also the frozen margaritas. Dog friendly and great service. Highly recommend.

The vibes, atmosphere, food, and service were amazing. Stephen (server) was in training but honestly you wouldn’t have known; he was great and able to make recommendations that satisfied our wants for dinner. Would absolutely return!
