Nada has expanded to Columbus, Indianapolis, 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.

We always love going to Fogo!! It’s never a great value for us because we have 2 family members that can’t eat much because of gastric bypass, but we still go. The only issue we had this time is that I had a whole tray of drinks spilled down my back, I was soaked until I got home!! But, they did comp my meal and gave me a free dessert. We’ll definitely return, we always do.

Nada is a must-do restaurant on our yearly trips to Indianapolis. The food is creative and delicious. I especially enjoyed the cilantro jalepeno salsa and the cauliflower tacos.The service is always excellent. Hunter, our wonderful server, was an absolute pleasure on this trip. He was so personable, kind, and funny. We enjoyed him so much.
