• Contemporary Mexican • Central Business District

Booked 54 times today

We will open early for brunch on Sunday, May 3rd, at 10am. Energy, creativity, and the desire for a really great taco inspired the Nada concept. Downtown Cincinnati needed a place to go, revive, and relax after the busy pace of the metropolitan work scene. Since 2007, Nada has been delighting guests with craveable twists on the classics and border-blurring dishes inspired by food from around the globe. Nada 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.

We had a fantastic dinner here right before a Reds MLB game. The dinner portions were perfect. We had the short rib grilled cheese and the chicken club and both were delicious. The price was affordable and we plan to come back for dinner sometime. The outdoor seating was well spaced and not too loud. Great atmosphere, great service, and delicious food.

The Birch is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Cincinnati. Great food, good drinks, and the staff are always friendly, inviting, and provide great service. Chefs Aaron and Marc have crafted a fantastic menu. I’d highly recommend trying the stuffed peppers, mussels, and weekly pasta feature if you go on a Wednesday.
