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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
De Nada Cantina delights with its "delicious tacos" and "amazing margaritas." The lively atmosphere complements a menu featuring standout options like the "pescado taco" and "carnitas quesadillas." While the "friendly service" is often praised, making a reservation is recommended due to the venue's popularity. Despite noise levels, it's a "fun, casual spot."

    I love this place. The food is great and the margaritas are top notch. Trouble is, every college student tries to go there now. It’s now very ‘Instagramable’ Bathroom situation is very limited too. Overall still pretty great.

    First time at De Nada. So delicious! Margaritas were good, as well as our quesadillas and tacos. Highly recommended the pescado taco!

    We’ve been going here since they opened. Sadly, they have become more focused on quantity than on quality. Those lucious tacos I craved were not what we were served on this visit.

    As always, delicious flavors and fresh ingredients. No heavy sauces or ridiculous portions. Love the vibe and the fun, casual atmosphere. Friendly service as well.

    I made reservations a couple of months before our visit. Our son lives in Austin. We flew in from Michigan and our other son flew in from Atlanta. We were seated outdoors as reserved. Our table was the high top that sits right outside the bathrooms. We had 2 long lines of people waiting for the bathroom on either side of our table the entire time we were there. Needless to say, not very pleasant. Not an ideal spot for a guest table.
