    Oh De Nada Cantina, que amor. I was recently tasked with planning my best friend's bachelorette in Austin, and De Nada Cantina was recommended by several people. I knew when I heard they had the best margs in town, it was the perfect spot to kick off a weekend of fun. We rolled up as a group of 6 around 1 pm and were seated right away. I will say, this spot is POPPIN' - it was completely full inside and out. After ordering, I could see why. Our server, Mary, was awesome. We started with queso, salsa and guac. This dip trio comes with bottomless chips, which trust you will want once you try the queso. I opted for a Numero Dos which came with a barbacoa and carnitas taco as well as rice and beans. I am OCD about my beans, being a black bean loving Cubanita, and these beans were AMAZING. My tacos were equally amazing. We also ordered two of the quesadillas which were super interesting because they seemed to be fried - almost empanada style. Now, let's get to the glorious part - the margs. I started with a frozen, spicy pineapple margarita. It comes in the cutest pink cup and it was absolutely delish. It's everything you want a spicy marg to be - strong, refreshing, a bit of a kick. When on vacation, why stop at 1 margarita?! I also opted for a prickly pear marg on the rocks. I will say, these margs are STRONG so definitely keep that in mind. This is a great casual spot to get your drink and queso on while in Austin. They also have a margarita bar outside if you're waiting for a table. This is both brilliant and beautiful to me.

    Fun atmosphere with tasty food. The restaurant has two rooms with a fountain at the center and colorful and festive decor. Perfect for two people - perfect for groups; perfect place to start or end a night. The menu has Mexican fare for everyone with an array of tacos and appetizers. The tacos were tasty, with the blue corn tortillas being the standout. We ordered the barbacoa, pollo, camote and pescado tacos. All had fresh ingredients and came with relatively hearty portions for tacos.

    Delicious! So many vegetarian options, fun ambiance (very casual), and an attached parking lot. Waitress was a homie and got our orders in before the late night menu hit. Service was a bit slow as they were so busy, but the staff was very nice. Flavors are amazing-- I'll be back for the drinks, which I hear are delicious (and very strong)! My favorite was the crispy tacos, which I don't usually see on menus.

    Can I just say, having the best service really makes any restaurant unforgettable. Tito was amazing! He was attentive and very friendly. The frozen margaritas are legendary! The carnitas, pollo, Barbacoa tacos are a must! We ordered the queso twice, the chips come out fresh and hot. Definitely add this to the list of places you need to try.
