Opinions de De Nada Cantina Austin
Edgar was our server. He was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. The food is authentic and I highly recommend the smoked black bean and cheese quesadilla.. definitely the place to come if you appreciate mezcal 💗
Jordyn!!! Thank you for recommending for the trio appetizer! It was great for my table. The queso, 10/10. Jordyn brought my drinks so quick and everything was so good
Edgar was a great server and his recommendation of the barbacoa tacos and chicken enchiladas were spot on! Very unique and delicious flavor- We LOVE the tequila options and can’t wait to come back!
Absolutely love this place! Queso? Fantastic! Tacos? Superb! Atmosphere? 10/10! People? Always friendly! Also, Edward, is an absolute gem! We lost an Apple Watch, so we called to see if someone returned and I’m so glad Edward answered because he was the nicest person ever!! Went and looked to see if someone had turned on in. Asked where I was sitting so he could double check the area at close since they pick up all the chairs and clean under the tables. He was so friendly and wasn’t rushing to get me off the phone, even though I could hear how busy they were. His kindness is was prompted this review. Edward, if you see this, we found the watch. Thank you for your kindness.
First time trying this place and it was good. Reservations are a must to be seated quicker. i really enjoyed the indoor seating but the outdoor seating seems like much more fun! the chips and queso is phenomenal! i got the sweet potato taco and it was delicious. frozen margaritas are SO good!!
Edgar was great! He had great service and makes the best margaritas! I love the prickly pear. Believe the hype and come
Fun dining experience here. We sat outside, but the different dining areas inside each had a unique and cozy charm to them. The tacos were great as well as the margs, but they are strong so be careful.
Edgar was fantastic. Our first time here and he helped us woth great recommendations. The bean and cheese quesadilla was the best hands down. We will be back for the service Edgar provided alone..
Tacos were pretty good Udate 2/11/22: I have been three more times and the food has been great and the servers are awesome and friendly. Its near my office so it will definitely be a regular lunch location. Update 1/30/25: This place continues to be outstanding and the service is great. A special thanks to Erika for being an amazing hostess! She is quick to seat us and she is busy helping the servers as well. Thank you, Erika!!!
Our server, Edgar, gave us exceptional service! Took the time to make sure he got our orders in correctly and efficiently. Recommended some of the best food we ever had and checked in regularly. It was our first time dining here and for sure we will be back again!
Hands down one of the BEST spots in Austin for authentic Mexican food. Every single bite tastes fresh and made with love. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy working there — happy employees make the experience even better. The vibes? Immaculate. ✨ Between the energy, the music, and the atmosphere, it feels like a little fiesta every time. And don’t even get me started on the margaritas — easily my favorites in town. 🥂 De Nada Cantina is all about great food, great drinks, and great memories. Can’t recommend it enough.
I was very hesitant about this place thinking it was a tourist trap 😩 but boy was I wrong! The drinks are great and strong! We had to wait an hour and 30 minutes to be seated on a Thursday night. The food was all delicious the tortillas are delicious. I highly recommend the barbacoa tacos you can’t go wrong. The chips and salsa appetizer is fun especially the spicy one so so spicy but delicious! Must check this place out but be prepared to wait. Can’t wait to come again!
The bean and cheese empanada type taco was amazing. Every single salsa with the chips was killer. As someone who was raised with a mom who spent time making salsa from scratch every week, I can confidently say every salsa here should be sold across the states. I will randomly crave this place for the rest of my life, and will make sure to visit every time i’m in austin. Edgar, thank you for every single recommendation you made, no eres mentiroso. xoxo
My daughter is extremely gluten free so finding a restaurant where we all can eat without worry is awesome. Top that with excellent food and service and you have a 5 star experience. Edgar was our server and was so helpful in helping us choose from an extensive menu. I had the tamales and absolutely they were the best I’ve ever had. We definitely will be back : )
Amazing experience at De Nada Cantina! I got the prickly pear margarita on the rocks, and my friend got the spicy pineapple frozen, they were simply amazing! We also tried the Carnitas Mexico City style quesadilla, we had the fish taco, shrimp taco, and the Barbacoa taco. Everything was very well made and was out in seconds. I’m not lying When I say it comes out it seconds. The kitchen is so fast! Good prices, and amazing atmosphere!
Our favorite place!!! Edgar was really a delight and so helpful on the drinks and whole menu! The mezcal cocktail on draft and the spicy pineapple were delicious! Also can never go wrong with the trio (queso and salsas) and Barbacoa tacos!
This place is INCREDIBLE. The tacos were out of this world. We got the birria, and the #2 special! Would recommend!! Our server Jordyn gave us the BEST recommendations and the best service. Felt so special on my birthday celebrating. YOU NEED TO GO HERE if u want fun vibes and delicious food.
Our server Edgar gave us great recommendations! The barabcoa tacos and fish tacos were really good. We also ordered crispy tacos and the Camote taco. Everything was fresh and hot. The corn tortilla and chips were a standout feature of everything.
Came to Austin with a friend, saw this restaurant was a popular local spot. The margaritas are great, the chips and queso with the meat added inside are great. The shrimp and fish tacos were our favorites. Thais did a great job helping us try out of the most popular things and provided excellent service. My partner also loved the bean and cheese quesadilla !
Eating at a Dedicated gluten free restaurant feels incredible! Not only did I know I would not get sick, the food was 💯!!! I had the Jamaica Agua Fresca, chips & queso, birria taco and barbacoa taco. It was phenomenal!!! I was visiting Austin, so choosing where to eat was hard, and this was the best place I ate during my visit!!
Had a great experience at De Nada thanks to Edgar, our bartender! He was friendly, personable, and made us feel right at home. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, his energy set the tone for a brunch. And his margaritas? Hands down some of the best I’ve had in Austin. Perfect balance of flavor, not too sweet, and dangerously smooth. Edgar’s the kind of bartender that keeps you coming back. Cheers!
LOVED everything about this place. Our server, Alan, was amazing! Gave us great recommendations, was super friendly, and service was fast. The margaritas are strong and delicious. Simple menu but everything we tried was excellent! The carnitas tacos are probably the best thing we’ve eaten in Austin. The queso was also delicious and the refried beans have a great smoky flavor. Loved the food so much we got two carnitas tacos and an birria quesadilla to go. Also really loved the atmosphere and vibes of this place. It will definitely be our Austin staple!
Just went to De Nada for the first time and was served by the absolute best, Lily! She was the most amazing and sweetest server ever. She answered all my questions and mentioned what was good to order. I will definitely return not only for the great food but for her great service! We got the two Mexican city quesadillas and the queso blanco with the salsa verde, absolutely delicious!
First off, we love our server, Edgar! He is as so hospitable, kind, AND walked my through my allergy’s! This restaurant is 100% gluten friendly, which is a major win for feeling safe when looking for a good place with with good food! When you come, request to sit in Edgar’s section, you will not be disappointed and order a marg - any flavor you can’t go wrong! Just don’t order too many or you will be dancing on their tables!
What a nice surprise this place was! We ordered the queso (one of the best I’ve had!), watermelon ceviche (I can never have regular salsa ever again!) pescado taco (loved how light it was!), black bean and cheese quesadilla (awesome recommendation ) and my husband had the barbacoa taco (he inhaled it!)… Edgar, our server, was amazing! He was so fun and super attentive!
Edgar was as fantastic as the food he recommended! My wife and I had amazing service with an amazing meal! Edgar recommended plenty of options, and we tried them all and were not disappointed at all! Get the barbacoa! tacos or quesadillas, you cant go wrong! we will definitely be back!
The drinks here will never disappoint but I ordered food for the first time and it was all so good! Our server Jordyn was incredible and recommended the shrimp tacos and carnitas quesadilla and they were both amazing. Jordyn was such a great server, very informative and prompt - something that's hard to find in Austin nowadays.
This is it. This is the place. If you go anywhere else this National Marg Day, congrats on your consolation visit. Food is amazing even with single serve portions, Margs... IYKYK. And if you don't, you will. Shout out to Edgar, the best bar server the joint.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jordyn at De Nada is an absolute STAR. From the moment we sat down, her energy was infectious, warm, fun, and genuinely welcoming. She was handling a huge party effortlessly while still making every one of us feel seen and taken care of. Drinks were flawless, service was fast, and her ability to socialize and keep the vibe alive was unmatched. On top of that, she suggested the flan for dessert… and WOW. Hands down one of the best flans I’ve ever had, perfectly smooth, rich, and not overly sweet. Trust Jordyn when she recommends something, she knows exactly what she’s doing. De Nada is lucky to have her, and we’ll definitely be back asking for Jordyn every time.
This place is visually interesting lots of outdoor covered seating. Packed on a Wednesday evening 530. The food was all really good and we enjoyed a mixture of 3 salsa, queso, guacamole and chips and the salsa be careful they increase in spicy! But loved them all! 2 margaritas frozen a mango and a strawberry was perfect on this 103 degrees May day! We also tried the burria deep fried cheesy quesadilla with some sort of sauce and they melted in your mouth! Visually you are like wait what is that? But definitely a true real Mexico quesadilla. If we hadn't drove definitely would of tried more Margaritas but I drank half of a small and gave rest to the one not driving! Place was hopping, food and drink was amazing prices are very reasonable!
Went here yesterday looking to grab a bite to eat with some friends who were in town, and genuinely was some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in Austin. Was looking for great food and great vibes and this place delivered. Staff was also lovely too of course (big shout out to our server Sofia too, you made the experience all the better). Will definitely be coming back here again with some more of my friends!
First and foremost our experience is always top notch but tonight with Jordyn was one I will rave about to every one of my friends. The drinks, food, and overall aesthetic that De nada brings is amazing. Love the service and will be back all the time now.
I have a great time every time we come here. It's always great. Today, our server Edgar was so friendly, attentive and accommodating! Margaritas are famous / infamous for a reason! Tacos are always delicious.
Coco was the epitome of the best service! Being a GM of a popular Houston restaurant and spending 20 years in the industry, she is exactly what anyone would be looking for. This was my first time here and every time I visit AustinI hope to come back and have Coco excel with her exceptional service and personality.
Finding actually good Mexican restaurants in Austin is tough, but as a mexican, this place did not disappoint. We got the pozole verde y Los tacos d barbacoa and they were delicious! Thank you to Edgar for serving us and informing us about the menu and his favorite dishes here. 10/10 recommend and will def be coming back!!!
Our server was Edgar and he was very kind. He gave fabulous menu recommendations and we loved the carnitas and poblano chicken quesadillas! He also recommended the barbacoa taco which was really good too. Highly recommend and hopefully you get Edgar when you come!
Edgar was amazing! Had a blast for my first time. The barbacoa was the best I’ve had in a long time. Edgar was kind, informative and took great care of us.
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!
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.
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!
Great place, to dine, Food was great. Edgar was my waiter, very polite and friendly. Highly recommended for your next dine in.
Edgar recommended the barbacoa taco and it was delicious. I’m glad he recommended an item that was actually delicious. He gave excellent service and was very timely and friendly. We love coming to De Nada and get excellent service, food, and drinks every time.
Edgar was simply the best! His recommendations for margaritas and his favorite dishes were spot on! The skinny margarita was amazing and the cucumber margarita was just as good. Best server and best margarita in Austin, hands down!
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!
De Nada is already my favorite restaurant in ATX (been two times in 2026 so far lol) but today was such a treat! Edgar took GREAT care of us and recommended the tamales with the egg - 20/10 on delicious - did not disappoint. Such a great visit! Thank you, Edgar and De Nada, I love you!
Edgar gave us the best service we could ask for. Extremely attentive, friendly, and gave great suggestions. He recommended the queso which was incredible. Our food came impossibly quickly; it didn’t even feel like enough time for him to walk back to the bar before our drinks arrived. The margaritas were amazing. They come in two sizes - just get the large. trust me. strawberry, spicy, and original; either way you can’t go wrong.
Julia was amazing! Great service from the start, she saw us come in and when there wasn’t a host she was ready to assist. We sat at the bar and she gave great recommendations on food and drinks. Was overall super friendly, personable and ill def come back due to service! Had the queso with all the delicious salsas that I have long loved from sister restaurants. Margaritas were delish!
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.
Brenda was an absolute GEM! My friend and I were hanging in the bar waiting for our table and she checked on us to make sure we were okay and even offered to try to find a table for us. We were lucky enough to get seated with her and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Our food came out quick and exactly as we ordered, she brought our drinks quickly and came by regularly to make sure we were still doing okay. 10/10 will be back just because she made the experience AMAZING!
This place. GO. We came right from the airport because we heard this was the best margarita in Austin. That’s no lie and they delivered! Edgar, our bartender, was helpful, informative and great to talk to. He had great Austin recommendations for us and was super attentive to anything that we needed! We will definitely be recommending and coming back!
The minute we landed in Austin I began searching for the best taco I could find. Being a review person, I found some spots that had so-so feedback and nothing really caught my attention. Well thats when I came across De Nada. "You are Welcome" was this an arrogant preemptive display of we know you'll be thanking us when its over or was this a simple warm greeting? Turns out it was both. As we pulled up the parking was a bit tricky but seeing the active parking lot and copious amount of people in and around the building, we knew we had stumbled upon exactly what we were looking for. We didn't have a reservation (definitely make one if you plan to stop in) and got lucky enough to slide in on the last available table inside. Our server was pleasant and present which made my party of 4 feel welcomed right away. We had chips and sauces for an appetizer and a variety of tacos to boot. Paired with some delicious but expensive drinks and this was everything we had hoped it would be. I would suggest making a reservation and limiting the drinks if you are on a budget but make this one a must try.
Jordyn was AAMAZING!! So nice and welcoming and the carnitas taco was soooo delicious. Will definitely be back!

De Nada Cantina has a very "Austin vibe." It's very casual with lots of outdoor seating. It was a hot day in August so we chose to sit inside with what we hoped to be a cooler location. Not really.…
The food here is definitely worth the long wait in queue to get in, the line was super crowded even at 9 pm. The ambience is great, a nice spot to get a meal and hang out with friends. There is limited outdoor seating by the side of the restaurant, plus some more outdoor seating by the front, an indoor area with fans and a closed (a/c) indoor area with a bar and some more tight seating. The place was absolutely packed, but we managed to get margaritas and chips and queso at the bar while we waited for our table. Service was friendly but chaotic, probably because our server had so many tables to handle. After we were seated and had ordered, it took about 15 minutes for the food to come out, but there was an issue with our 10 taco order. The space is very noisy so it took several minutes to explain to two servers what was missing, once they understood, they brought out the correct order another 10 minutes later. The vegetarian tacos are excellent, probably some of the best veg tacos I’ve ever had. However, the blue corn taco shells fell apart before we could eat, so I had to use a fork for the filling (which I got from a service station myself, because the servers were all very occupied). Definitely worth a visit, maybe a better experience at less popular times. It’s not as economical as other taco places, but this is a restaurant and not a cafe so that was understandable.
A fun spot if you want a good margarita! Their prickly pear is my favorite, and their chips and queso are great! It does get very busy & you do have a 2 hour limit on your table so plan accordingly! Happy hour has some good options too!
Simple & delicious Latin food - the flavor and vibes of the restaurant hit you as soon as you enjoy the first bite. My only feedback are the 2 bathrooms - like why - you have at least 200 people here on a “slower day” and only have two single uni-sex bathrooms. What are we doing guys??? Let’s get the plumbing sorted so we can get back to the vibes, food, and drinks!
The host service could have been better for our first time there. She was on the phone and didn’t acknowledge us. No one was answering her, so a quick “please give me a moment” would have been appreciated. They sat us by the bar which I wouldn’t recommend since an employee spilled a whole iced drink on me and did not apologize until I got up. Also, while we were trying to enjoy the meal, they were reprimanding an employee right behind me, which to each their own but please take it to the kitchen. Maybe y’all were just having a bad Tuesday, but regardless, I hope y’all take this as feedback because despite all the place itself is great. Our server was amazing, he was an angel. The food was also great, highly recommend their quesadillas. Their drinks are STRONG, so expect them to taste like a strong drink, but get it nonetheless.

i didn’t have the pleasure of trying their food as it seems like they are very popular and booked, though if you go in for their frozen margs… you’re in for a treat. trust me when i say the frozen marg will hit you halfway into it, perfect as a pregame haha. super busy and crowded, not my cup of tea since it screams a bit of overly hyped non-authentic mex food.
I’ve heard such good things about this place so I decided to check it out. Made a reservation, upon arrival immediately was told we had a time limit on our table. That honestly rubbed me the wrong way and made the experience feel rushed. The service was okay, nothing stood out. The chips and dip were good. The margarita tasted smokey which was new for me. The taco was really good! The beans tasted smokey as well which was odd. Overall, I’m 50/50 on this place. I would not seek it out on my own.

I never leave reviews, but this experience was frustrating enough to mention. I came in with a group of coworkers after work, and while we understand it was late and busy, the service was poor. Our server barely checked on the table even as people in our group arrived, and two people had to wait around 20–30 minutes before we could flag her down just to order. There were also drink mix-ups, including a margarita served in the wrong size and another drink that was completely incorrect, and it felt like we were being argued with when we tried to clarify. At one point we were asked if we were ready to check out even though two people still hadn’t received their food. We were a table of 8 so 20% gratuity was automatically included, and some of us still tipped extra. What was most surprising was later hearing that the server said we had been rude. That was honestly confusing since we were patient the entire time. I also noticed several other recent reviews mentioning poor service, and the most recent owner response saying “we fell short tonight.” Unfortunately, we visited three nights ago and experienced the same issues.
I’m honestly not sure I understand the hype. We put our name on the list and were initially told the wait would be about an hour. After waiting an hour, we followed up and were told there were still two groups ahead of us. Two groups were seated shortly after, but we were again told there were two parties in front of us. By that point, it had been an hour and 45 minutes. Thankfully, we grabbed a few small bites at Central Machine Works during the first hour of waiting, because both the extended wait and the birria tacos ended up being subpar at best. The highlight of the evening was our waitress - she was sweet and attentive
Food is 4-5 star quality. Drinks are solid. Service needs work. Epic greenhouse vibe, vibrant colors, authentic Mexican energy from someone who knows what authentic looks like. That sick bar area? Pure eye candy. Here's the problem: every single person working here acted like hospitality was a foreign concept. Hostess, server, food runners - zero energy, zero care. Had to flag down our waiter multiple times just to get water. Asking for more drinks felt like I was personally ruining their day. The space is gorgeous. The food delivers. The drinks work. But when your staff treats customers like a burden, you've got a fundamental problem. This place could be incredible if management actually trained people to give a damn about service. Will probably just Uber Eats next time. Get the good food without the attitude. Fix your service and this becomes a 5-star spot. Until then, you're wasting an amazing space and great kitchen.

I had high expectations for De Nada because of the reviews I read before going, but unfortunately it fell short. The food was very plain and didn’t reflect authentic Mexican flavors as advertised or described in the reviews. The restroom situation was frustrating, with an extremely long line. The service was okay but not very attentive; it felt awkward to ask for refills or additional food. Not a terrible experience, but not one I would repeat. Extremely Expensive for the food, atmosphere and service.
Extremely disappointed and left before ordering. We were told there was a 30+ minute wait for warm, covered patio seating, then walked past several open tables in that area and were seated at a cold metal table instead. Minutes later, the host returned to tell us we’d need to leave by 9:00 p.m. (it was 6:57). Poor hosting and confusing communication cost this restaurant our business. Thank you Da Nada for nada though, we found a gem in Lil’ Easy!
