| Cincinnati has always wanted its own Rick Bayless-style upscale taco joint. And Nada is about as good as it gets on that front, without making a road trip to Chicago. Although touted for its margaritas and small plates, casual diners may wonder what all of the fuss is about. The pink grapefruit margarita is all kinds of refreshing, but at $10 and not that thirst-quenching in size, it definitely leaves you wanting more---especially if you try carnitas (braised pork tacos) ala diabla (spicy). Here, the chips and salsa cost extra, and you can be prepared for those small plates to be a little pricy, too. The food is good, but this place is really more about atmosphere: loud, colorful and a little full of itself. If you can get past that, you might try the oyster shooters for an appetizer, the lamb mole in an iron pot, a side of mashed plantains, and the chocolate torte with bananas Foster gelato to top it off. Or, just splurge for another margarita. The "nadarita" with tequila, triple sec, lime juice and honey is the house specialty. |
