Reading time: 3 minutes
A new Mexican-inspired restaurant concept from a familiar entrepreneurial family is coming soon to downtown Birmingham. Located in the entertainment destination of Urban Supply, De Nada is set to begin serving tacos, margaritas and more in early 2026.
De Nada Mexican restaurant opening in Birmingham early next year
According to a press release, De Nada is the second restaurant concept from the Martinez family, who have opened the traditional Mexican restaurant of Hacienda Mexican Grill in Indian Spring Village since 2004. Building on the family’s passion for food and service, De Nada will offer a distinct, different experience with creative takes on Tex-Mex favorites and an expansive craft cocktail program.
“De Nada is built on the belief that great food and genuine hospitality bring people together. We’re creating a space that feels approachable yet elevated–a place you can visit with your family after a Barons game, or for a date night out with margaritas and tacos. It’s about connection, comfort, and a bit of fun. At the heart of it all is our guiding motto: buena gente, buena comida–good people, good food. That’s what De Nada is all about.”
Armando Martinez, Owner, De Nada
De Nade’s 4,582-square-foot space will offer 130 indoor seats, including bar seating and an outdoor patio. Other highlights include:
- A menu featuring beloved Mexican classics like creamy queso dip, golden chimichangas and flavorful street tacos as well as playful, modern creations like the Hot Honey Fried Chicken Taco.
- Fresh tortillas and churros made in-house, while guests can see all the action through a special viewing window in the dining area.

Urban Supply secures a new tenant

“We’re thrilled to have De Nada join the Urban Supply family. The energy and warmth of the concept perfectly match our vision for the Parkside District: A walkable, community-driven hub where food, culture, and connection thrive.”
