    This was great. Vegetarian options were amazing! It felt little strange at first, the way some people were eyeing me and my friends (I guess we were the only people of color there or dressed up college students). Our server was sweet and took care of our dietary restrictions. The chips, tacos (Caramelized Cauliflower) , and Grilled Street Corn were brilliant. I think this place is a great example of how to make vegetarian food tasty. Being a foreigner, I have seen misconception of vegetarian food in USA being perceived as salads or boiled vegetables, but Nada does a GREAT job of making vegetarian food exciting and fresh. Kudos to chefs and staff!

    Place was dead for a Friday night. It should have been a giveaway to go somewhere else. Food is so tiny, come hungry, leave hungry! Appetizers were 😕. Had the trio chips and salsa that were super heavy on vinegar, severely lacking on the actual flavor profiles they should have had. The civeche was so tiny it should say you're ordering plantain chips. Food is way overpriced, tiny, and not worth it at all! Server was MIA. LOTS of people working, minimal customers. Most all staff congregated in a room up front the entire time we were there. (Only two men actually worked continuously on various things, props to them for actually doing their job! Too bad they weren't our servers.) Kitchen was insanely slow & very loud! Yelling and laughing.

    It was a great experience even though we were almost the only guests there on a Monday night. The food was phenomenal, priced a little high, but understandable for a nice downtown Indy restaurant. Everything came out hot, and the appetizers were unique. The service was great, very friendly, and came by frequently to check on us. I enjoyed the atmosphere almost as much as the food. This place looks incredible. It's a great place to have a date and go see a movie after! Will definitely be back soon!

    This has a great vibe and delicious food! Love the social setting they have intentionally created. It’s expensive, but all of the food is tasty and the experience makes it worth it.

    First time visitors to Nada Indianapolis. Atmosphere made the dinner. Waitress was great, engaging and not pushy. The menu is small. I ordered the Steak Fajitas. The skillet was warm, not hot, thus the 4 stars for the food. The presentation was great! We did order the Churro's and they are huge! 3 come in one order with a Carmel and Chocolate dipping sauce. They were the best Churro's I have had. It is pricey, however the portions are shareable.

    We made a reservation for six and had a circular table. Love the decor and the atmosphere. The waitress was nice and kept our drinks filled. I had three chicken tacos and the queso appetizer which were all good, but very expensive for tacos.

    Fast and friendly service. Chicken tacos were awesome. Chicken had a good char but was still tender and juicy. The tortillas were soft and fluffy. They give you a giant basket of chips with a really tasty salsa. Recommend.

    Fun atmosphere, amazing food, and great service! My wife and I enjoyed a date night at Nada on Friday night. This was our first visit, but it surely won’t be the last. Our server Ti (Tiara) was awesome!! Appreciated her recommendations. Everything we had was amazing!!! Can’t say enough good things about this place. If you’re thinking about visiting, stop thinking, and just go!

    The best tacos I’ve ever had! I also highly recommend the nada/ watermelon lemonade. The service is also amazing here. We even got a plate of free pork belly tacos just because we look at the menu for a while for deciding what to order. Perfect place to go in Indianapolis!!

    Always a good time and food has been great. Appetizers are great and not real big so a good time to try a variety of them and share. Not your typical Mexican restaurant and worth going for a different taco experience for sure.

    I'm not a big fan of the Nada chain of restaurants. One nice feature is that they allow the chefs to incorporate their own dishes. So, the choice in Cincinnati is different from Indianapolis. My wife has a higher opinion as more items on the menu appeal to her. I enjoyed the Anejo cocktail, and the Peruvian Chicken was awesome.

    Very cute restaurant with romantic vibes. Great for large and small parties. Service was wonderful and for how high end it looks it was quite affordable. Small plates big on flavor. Margaritas were delicious 😋

    A good stop for a Sunday lunch. The food and drinks are tasty (the habanero salsa in the tasting trio was particularly delicious). It was a Sunday, during Gen Con, so ingredient shortages and longish waits are likely a product of 70,000 tourists and understandable.

  • 4/5 Bob M. 8 months ago on Google
    I had the crispy potatoes and the tacos El pastor. Food was excellent. Atmosphere was modern chill with a taste of Spanish theme. The service was nice and they were willing to discuss other places nearby to try. It is pricey though 2 entries, 2 sides, 4 drinks and chips and salsa was 100. If you weren't drinking alcohol it would still be about 30 per person.

    Nada was a nice find for a quick tasty lunch. I tried all three of their salsas. Their regular was good, their salsa con verde was more of a medium heat, and it was my favorite. Their hot sauce was okay, it wasn't super hot, but had a different flavor to it. I had their Baja tacos and they were delicious. The side of rice and beans was also very good. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town, and I'm sure I'll be back.

    My first time and the food and service was outstanding! The crispy potatoes slapped! So glad for Kylie's suggestions. She was attentive, prompt, and made for good conversation. For it being my first time and being a picky eater, I appreciate her being well acknowledged about the restaurant and details for the food I prepared to ingest. Because of her, I even found the courage to keep a few onions on my shrimp tacos. I'll be back!

    Loved this place! Called 20 min before we came in to reserve seating for 9. Service and staff was amazing! Food was on point! I am not a spicy fan. So just a heads up the guacamole and corn were not plain lol. Fish tacos were best I ever had!

    Went to Nada with a friend and the food and atmosphere were terrific! The food was fresh and delicious. Our server was very attentive to details and did a good job. Many thanks to all for a most enjoyable experience!

    Short and simple menu highlights their outstanding tacos! Ample seating in a joyful setting. Friendly and courteous service. Food is delivered promptly. Short walking distance from hotels and convention center. Parking deck nearby. Great margaritas. Don't miss the churros for dessert. Recommended

    I had my birthday here and we had 18 people. The service was incredible!!!! The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing! I will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Jenny H. 1 year ago on Google
    We got the Ancho, Verde, and Kreeper salsa which came with free unlimited refills. They were absolutely delicious (warning for the kreeper aka habanero salsa has a strong kick). I got the enchilada, which is considered a “large plate”. Although served on a skillet, the dish was not searing hot and the serving size I don’t think was very sharable. It was however delicious, especially with the salsas. The margarita I got was very good as well (a bit pricey - $12).

  • 4/5 Tiffany S. 11 months ago on Google
    Everyone here is so nice and made sure we had everything we needed. Our server was so great at helping us choose from the menu. The music was everything. I'd recommend the guacamole, habanero salsa, and enchiladas. Can't wait to come back.

    Nice downtown location, decor is great, ambience was fine. Above average service by Armando our server and time from ordering until the food arrived was impressive (even on a Friday night) but not a great Mexican food compared to the rest of Indy. The chicken was above average, the steak below. Salas were decent , the hot one had the most flavor. Chips are home made but not warmed, the tortillas seemed like what you buy at the store. Definitely seems like a place for folks visiting the area or in a large group. They have locations in 2 or 3 other states (owned by a restaurant group with two or so other offerings)

  • 4/5 Kelli M. 1 year ago on Google
    The Brussels sprouts and side of potatoes were delicious. The tacos were fine - asada was the best we tried. The cauliflower didn’t taste very flavorful. The macaroni was not worth the $10. Chick fil A Mac tasted much better. Service was great! Enchiladas were better than the tacos in our opinion. Salsa was delicious.

    My wife and I had a fantastic time celebrating our anniversary at Nada this year. We had heard great things from our friends and were not disappointed. At first I had contemplated just going big with the "Cote' de Boeuf" but given the wide variety of amazing sounding tapas options, decided to go that route instead....and I'm so glad I did. We ordered a decent number of different plates and everything from the Brussel Sprouts to the Pork Belly Tacos were absolutely amazing. Also, our server Ursula (apologies for assumed spelling) was so great to us that I was completely caught off guard when she told us it was her first night serving there. She had all of the confidence and menu knowledge of a someone I would have assumed had been working there for years! Thanks to everyone at Nada helping make our night great!

    This place has one of the best tacos I have had. I enjoyed the Al Pastor and Baja fish tacos with a tropical margarita. It was yum and totally recommend this place. The seating is really great with great lighting, got a couple of good pictures too 😉. Good for a dinner date or hang out place with group of friends.
