About De Nada Cantina - South 1st
MexicanLate night
De Nada Cantina’s new South 1st location brings the neighborhood a stripped-down, soulful taco program where less really is more. Tortillas are pressed and cooked on the comal, meats are slow-braised until tender, and margaritas are poured the traditional way in a room that feels like old Austin. It’s casual, bright, and perfectly tuned for quick nights out or takeout runs.
What to Order
Slow-Braised Barbacoa Taco
Shredded, slow-braised meat folded into a comal-warmed handmade tortilla with bright salsa and pickled onions.
Comal-Pressed Potato & Poblano
Charred poblano and smashed potatoes in a pillowy handmade tortilla finished with crema and cotija.
House Margarita
Traditional, balanced margarita served by the glass — tart lime, agave, and just the right salt rim.
