I love nada. It is becoming my favorite semi-cheap comfort food restaurant. If you go again try the carnitas tacos. Easily my favorite, enhanced by the fresh lime wedges. Agree fully about the guacamole. I often eat so much of the chips and guac that I have no room for the food.
Nadarita is good but overpriced. Gazpacho was good also.

David Falk is the most egotistical and overrated chef in Cincinnati, although Travis at Seny is making a go of it.

Boca is a great restaurant, Nada is just OK, but Boca is WAY to expensive for what you get, and I am completely accustomed to small portions and tasting menus.

i also love the grapefruit margaritas at nada. i think it is a good addition to downtown in terms of having a fun atmosphere and good drinks. the food is not great but it’s a fun place to hang out with friends. i also like via vite for the same reason. yay for fun places to get drinks and snacks downtown!

I HAVE made a meal out of Nada’s guacamole.

I also recommend the grapefruit margaritas.

Nice to know I can get those barbacoa tacos elsewhere. They were out of this world good, but pricey.

Julie,
Hugos is on our radar, want to go, we hear good things. BF I think the reason for the 2 hour wait is mostly because it happens to be the current hotspot and because it is in a prime spot and a cool space. Aoi is my current new fave, also very cool space, a friends brothers company did both build outs.

Well, I wasn’t overly thrilled with Boi Na Braza. Don’t get me wrong the food was good but at $45 a head I don’t want to be going through a buffet line to get my own food. I felt like it was an expensive more upscale Golden Corral. The food was good, but not great, the service was good… but at that price I’d rather go somewhere that feels more upscale.

Eh, the qualification here is that it is a margarita.

Its the “best” that I have had in Cincinnati, and after margs at places like all the chain mex restaurants, and even the locals (like Cactus Pear), this was quite a step up. Perspective is everything, and frankly if I want a really good marg, I’ll make it myself. (Its alot cheaper to use your own Patron than the bar’s Patron )

That said, I am also not realy a coctail person (besides bloody marys). I am a single malt scotch, or single barrel bourbon kind of guy.

As Julie said, other than the chips and guacamole, there was nothing about the meal that was anything more than just OK.

Neither of us really WANTED dessert; we just wanted to give the place one last chance to really wow us. The warm chocolate torte was no better than dozens of warm-chocolate-cakey-with-ice-cream things I've had at mid-to-upper-price chains like Longhorn or Outback (and I don't CARE what kind of custom-made ice cream it had on it).

I really don't understand the two-hour waits on weekends.

vudutu, I specifically got something that wasn’t a rita based on your rec.

For really good, hand-muddled, no-mix cocktails, you can’t beat Hugo.

cin twin and chris s, boy you and I have different taste when it comes to cocktails, I tried a mojito at Palomino’s and thought it was terrible. Same for Nadas ritas, it’s the mixes and bar lemon they use I think. If I am going to pay their prices for a cocktail it needs to be from scratch.
