De Nada Cantina. Tacos y margs y menos.

East Austin’s loveliest little taco spot. Handmade tortillas pressed and cooked on the comal, slow-braised meats, and traditional handcrafted margaritas served in a greenhouse.

    I usually like de nada but this visit was disappointing. The margarita machine was down when we arrived, the food came out way too fast, the tortillas fell apart immediately, and we felt rushed overall despite having reserved the table for 1.5 hours. We were also celebrating a 30th birthday, which I noted in the reservation, but they didn’t even acknowledge it. Not asking for anything free, but a little sign on the table or a candle with the drink would have been a nice gesture. Used to be a fun place, but now it feels like they just crank out food and try to turn tables as quickly as possible without any real service.
