Casa Nomad

This location was smaller than I expected. It's like a closed in patio with a DJ, a handful of tables and a full bar.The drinks were very tasty! And we ordered a few appetizers. The bean tamale and queso (with chorizo) were my favorite. We had a very friendly waitress but once they got busier they served exclusively from the bar.

What a great experience! First stop to eat with my BFF, and what a treat! The waiter was kind enough to let us have a seat a couple minutes before opening because I couldn't stand much longer. The ambiance provides a great little kickback spot. This was however before it got crowded. The food was really good. I'll return to enjoy a little relax time. Also don't miss the whole other side with a nice outdoor space. If I hadn't gone to the restroom I would have missed this!

Lotta hype surrounding this spot, so of course it's on my short list. In truth, it was alright! What's stand out is the ambiance- it's solely a patio (bathroom inside and shared with a neighboring restaurant, if I got that right?) with vibey lights and the perfect playlist, dropping you somewhere in Oaxaca, swaying and sipping! Speaking of sipping, I was very happy with my cocktail. It was layered and exotic. I tried the Camarones a la Diabla experience, including the crickets (!) and while I don't regret it, it didn't knock me over. My friends raved and raved about the oysters, tho. So, the answer is to go try it for yourself. Cheers!

Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Casa Nomad! I looked up reservations about 5 days out from when we planned to go; nothing was available but I got on the "notify" list in Resy. We had planned on arriving at 5:00 at opening to see if they would seat us. The night before, a 5:30 reservation opened up, so I snagged that! We still arrived at 5 and were immediately seated. Seated IS limited, so although I don't understand why so many reservations are 3 weeks out (the day of, several spots opened up between 6-8:30 every half hour, so I'm not sure how the restaurant blocks them out exactly), I'd recommend having a backup plan if you can't get on. We went on a Wednesday. I ordered 2 of "The Mayan" cocktails -- the second one tasted completely different from the first; I loved the first but the second was too sweet. We split the "Four Flats" tamales entree, and it was delicious!Service was great! Plenty of parking at MKT. I've definitely added Casa Nomad to my list of places to keep going back to!

I was really hoping to love this place. All the IG pictures make it look so good and a great place. However, this is simply not the case. Casa Nomad is a glorified covered patio with no AC in Texas heat and the drinks were just ok. I asked for a passion fruit margarita with sugar on the rim (don't judge me) and 2x came with salt and no passion fruit whatsoever. My friend's drink lacked the sour flavor described on their menu. The server brought me a new glass with sugar to pour my drink into. He was trying to make it right. He was very nice. Bottom line is, don't believe IG hype. We were disappointed.

Decided to finally check this place out since it's opening. Location/decor - 4*This is in the MKT heights center right off the trail. Great area with private parking available.When we first walked in our impression was it's quaint and intimate. Seating is all outside, but they have heaters for the colder nights.Food/drinks - 4* minus 1* for poor selection We had two drinks, the Te Amo and El Cenote. They were out of a key ingredient for the Te Amo, but said they could make it similar to which their reference was the "fake" Te Amo. This was very well balanced and enjoyable. The El Cenote was a bit too sweet and didn't have much pepper to it. It's a nice drink, but didn't hit where we were expected.We had the Pyramids and Elote as some light bites. The elote is a nice twist on traditionally served style with a nice flavor, but a little messy to eat. The pyramids were excellent, the sauce / dip particularly really made this dish standout. We chose not to order main dishes as, frankly speaking, the options were quite limited. It seems they rotate their menu heavily as there was only a few options and none of them really caught our interest. Cauliflower tacos, a sweet potato, veggie tamales, fish? It was disappointing from a selection perspective so we chose to pass.Service - 5*The service was great and our waiter was quite attentive the entire time. I can't say we were ever in need of an item.Pricing - 3*Subjective as always, but for two appetizers and a few cocktails we paid a little more than I'd say is expected. It isn't bad, it isn't great value. Meh. Overall - 3*I'd really consider giving this 4* if the food selection in main dishes was a bit stronger. For that reason I'm going 3. The service is great and you won't be disappointed. And look, I'd the main dishes strike your fancy, you won't be disappointed as we quite enjoyed what we did have. I'd recommend looking at the menu prior to setting a reservation and confirming later. Relating to that subject, it seems reservations are hard to come by here, but when we visited there was plenty available slots still, which was interesting since there was only one slot available a few weeks prior.

Everything about this place was fantastic except for the food. Very underwhelming dishesas they are all mostly shareable dishes for the table, it's not really a "meal" type restaurant. My lobster (claw meat) tacos had two pieces of meat that had the shell still on them. That was a surprise. Tortillas were extremely bland but home made. The ceviche was the highlight of the table of eight that we had, followed by the . The drinks were fantastic, one of the best regular lime margaritas I've ever had in my life. Our server Amy was tremendous, and could not have been any better.Overall, if you're into trendy places that will look good on your Instagram feed and just need a small bite before you head out for the night, this is 100% the place you want. If you want a full meal, where you start with chips and salsa, order a full meal as most restaurants, this is probably a let down.

Whew! When they say NO FOOD OPTIONS! My sister and I went here as a cute little ambiance place. She LOVED their oysters but I do not eat oysters so I was not impressed! Service was great though! Drinks were bomb AF! But food, no thank you. They don't even have a salad to offer.

Jumping right into it with some key takeaways:-There is no indoor seating. The restaurant space is all a covered patio with the exception of 2 highboy cocktail tables by the bar (sits 2 people each). -We ordered the Pyramids and there was a piece of plastic in it. -El Diablo cocktail was not even consumable because they put too much tincture in it-Pro is there is a parking lot and other options nearby to go to?

Same amazing vibes, new menu. Casa Nomad has serious Tulum vibes and the Tequilla drinks have always been awesome. After talking to Chris about the revamped menu they want to give customers more choices, along with a decent food menu! I personally love Tequilla drinks so I can't complain as they nail them all. Recommend giving them another look if you've been before!
