Nada has expanded to Columbus, Indianapolis, Nashville, and their first east coast installment in North Bethesda, MD. Each location is integrated into the local community and focuses on delivering an approachable, casual Mexican experience in a beautiful space. Snag guacamole and salsa to share, and dig in to punched-up tacos, Nada is all about great food and good times with amigos.

    From the valet, through the softly lit entranceway and view of the patio, to the hostess stand and into the bar to wait for our family, the experience was pleasant and everyone was professional and welcoming. We were seated in a room off the kitchen for our dinner. It was beautiful with fresh hydrangeas, nice lighting and our amazing server, Zach. As he described the menu items, we knew we were in for an authentic Italian dinner. The entire meal was delicious and filled with new tastes and new ingredients that we had not had before. We look forward to visiting their patio in the summer.

    Lindy was an excellent server and really connected with us and our needs (also tasted the white Malbec with me for both of our first time, which was super fun!). The environment was really lively! My husband thought it was a little on the loud side but I just saw a lot of happy people in a warm, colorful environment having a good time. The food was extremely well prepared, beautiful presented and very balanced - we hadn't had this perfect a dining experience in a very long time and hope to come back within the year to use the secret envelope we were given at the end of our meal. Barcelona surpassed our expectations and I will be singing its praises for quite some time.
