De Nada | Mexican Eatery & Tequila Bar

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila... floor! De Nada embodies all the revelry of this particular limerick, serving no-fuss Mexican eats just the way you like them.

Mount Eden might be their home but they're fully inspired by a vibrant country thousands and thousands of kilometres away. Colourful, communal and with a hint of rustic charm, De Nada dabbles in a bit of everything to bring forth a well-rounded establishment composed of curved booths, vivid mosaics that frame the bar and doors, and an exposed kitchen that breathes infectious energy into the whole space.

Mexican food is perfectly primed for you to eat as you like. If you're in a sharing kind of mood, get the whole gang around a table of chimichangas that are ready to be dipped in a paprika yoghurt, fresh focaccia topped with fried chicken and refried beans, and, of course, a plate of loaded nachos that have a place at every table.

Bigger plates include the big three: the quesadilla, enchilada and taco. You'll find the first two filled with punchy ingredients like chorizo, gouda, Mexican rice and lashings of fiery salsa. As for the last one, experimental chefs show their latest creations with halloumi and kale, tequila prawn cocktail and coffee-cured scotch fillet. Chase that all with a house-signature cocktail or share the love with a massive jug of sangria or a strawberry spritzer. Even reading those words, summer feels like just a hair's breadth away.
