    CHIPS & SALSA
    Michelle N.

    This location is in the Century City Mall. It wasn't very busy when I got there around 5pm. You order at the front and then go and sit down with your number. It was happy hour (weekdays 3pm-6pm) so my chips and salsa were only $2! I love their outdoor seating area and it was a great place to catch up with a friend. The food came out quickly and tasted great. The street corn en fuego had a spicy symbol next to it and there was indeed a little spice, not a ton if that's what you're looking for. I would say the value and price match up great and I was certainly full afterwards.

    Amazing place with a good vibes. Perfect location. Good music delicious cocktails I really recommended about the watermelon Margarita only 8$ dollar it's nothing .. and really really delicious . Carina was amazing

    First let me say I love this Tocaya Mexican restaurant it really has great food is always fresh but their homemade queso and chips the queso is horrible everything else was fabulous the tacos were fabulous the burrito was fabulous the guacamole and chips is fabulous but that homemade queso is horrible. Service was great we was able to get seated and this was the day of the marathon so it was busy outside of the mall but inside the mall was actually doable you were able to get a seat. Loved the be seated and scan and order your food to be delivered to the table. We will be back!

    How is this place still in Business? The food quality keeps getting lower as do the portions and I end up having to get a second lunch An hour later, ....I will definitely never order from this place again.

    I'd come back here! Good pricing, quick service, yummy food! I'd recommend the chicken tinga taco, the squash blossom taxo, and the birria bowl!

    Quality and portion are going down unfortunately. Service is great. Convenient spot in the mall and nice happy hour.

    It becomes my favorite place now! 1. Self ordering, no need pay big tips. 2. Very nice outdoor and indoor sitting area, spacious, and I can just order a drink sitting there and work on my laptop while day. 3. It's the only place, looks nice and clean, I can sit in long time, no need pay big tips. 4. The menu price is very reasonable, cheaper than sweet greens, around $14 for a rice bowl, and $4 for a drink. 5. Very good for family and children hang around. Cause they have large couch area. Good for business talk and date.

    Good food - had the side of street corn, Tinga taco and steak taco. Drinks are good too under $15 so a good price! They accidentally brought a fajita dish but they corrected that and brought the street corn. All yummy!

    FAJITA DEL REY
    Farzad F.

    What i like about this place, you can have your Mexican fix without having too much saturated fat. This is in the century city mall, so be aware if you come at the wrong time it'll be hard to find a seat. Started with the Chips and guac, they had sunflower and pomegranate seeds which surprisingly was a nice touch, well seasoned. Chips were decent. I ordered the fajita del rey. It was pulled chicken in a reddish stew, black whole beans next to a bed of rice and some pickled peppers. I liked it. The meat portion was a little left to be lacking but the beans were made very well and the flavor was good. Service was good, the floor was a little sticky towards the back but ill give them the benefit of the doubt, might have just been the person before us. If youre looking for a treat that wont be calorie bomb with flavor, give this place a try. I cant give this place 1/2 stars, ill go 4 but really its a 3.5/5.

    Stopped in and tried two of their vegan tacos , both were good the cauliflower one was better in my opinion. This place has a nice atmosphere upstairs in the century city mall near the movie theater outside of the food court area. Friendly service , looked like they had a full bar would be nice to grab drinks with the girlies after shopping!

    Stopped by Tocaya Organica at this location for a quick bite. The atmosphere was pretty cozy, clean space and comfortable to dine in. The service was also great, from the person who took my order to the one who dropped off the food. Everyone was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. I ordered four tacos: steak, Tinga, cauliflower, and Baja. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best. The steak, Tinga, and cauliflower tacos were bland and really needed more flavor or a kick. The Baja taco, on the other hand, was the star -- crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The cucumber mint drink was also so good, very refreshing and light, the perfect complement to the meal. Overall, cozy atmosphere and friendly service, but the food could use more seasoning and excitement to match the vibe.

    every time i come here, servers are incompetent , food comes out wrong, takes forever. i'm pissed, this was a horrible experience, i got 3 baja tacos that were amazing but took way too long, the vibe is cool but get ignored from workers pretty often.

    Do you take reservations for lunch?

    Hi Maxine, thank you for reaching out and your interest in dining with us. As we are a quick casual concept, we don't accept reservations. It is first come first served. If you are looking to seat a group, I would recommend contacting the store… 

    Do you allow dogs on your patio?

    Hi Alanna, yes all of our Tocaya locations allow dogs on the patio.

    Does this restaurant serve organic or non-gmo chicken?

    No (I'm about 99% sure). Their website states their meat products are hormone, steroid and antibiotic free and the menu says the chicken is "free range" but that definitely doesn't mean it's organic or that the chickens are fed a non-GMO diet.…

When I first arrived, I gave them the name of our reservation, and the staff had no idea what I was talking about. We were a party of 6, yet they seated us at a tiny table that was clearly not appropriate for our group. When it was time to order, my husband very clearly told the waiter which pasta he wanted and even showed him a picture of the item on the menu. The waiter looked at it and agreed. My food came out, but my husband's food never did. We eventually found out that his order was never even put in. What made it worse was when the waiter came out saying, "Oh my God, I thought you said you didn't want it." Everyone at the table looked at him completely confused because my husband had literally told him what he wanted and showed him the menu item. Instead of simply acknowledging the mistake and fixing it, we were left waiting. On top of that, trying to get anyone's attention was nearly impossible. We had to repeatedly try to get someone's attention just to get basic service. Then there was another issue with the entrance fee. My sister-in-law had messages showing that we were told that if we ate at the restaurant, we would no longer have to pay the entrance fee. We showed those messages to the woman handling the wristbands, but instead of looking into it or speaking to someone who could clarify the situation, she simply said, "I don't know, you have to pay." No attempt was made to investigate or resolve the issue. After everything that happened, they still added a tip to the bill, despite the extremely poor service we received. Overall, this was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I've had. Poor communication, poor service, lack of organization, and no effort to make things right. I definitely will not be recommending this place to anyone, and we will not be returning.

For Dine LA, I started with the Tostada Campechana, which was like an elevated ceviche with scallops, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and a citrus sesame sauce. Everything tasted super fresh and the citrus gave it the perfect balance. The Bone Marrow Mole was rich, flavorful, and came with a generous portion and toast. For my main course, I had the skirt steak, which was cooked perfectly--tender, well-seasoned, and delicious with the green sauce. The homemade tortillas were amazing too.

Parking in Los Feliz gave us a little pre-dinner challenge. A friend and I eventually went with valet, while another friend circled a few times before finding street parking. Consider this my future self taking notes: next time, Uber. Walking inside was probably my favorite first impression. Mírate unfolds across multiple levels with warm lighting, greenery, tucked-away lounge areas, and that huge tree in the middle of the courtyard. We were seated upstairs near the top of the stairs by the restroom, which gave us a view down into the main space. Admittedly, I spent a little time admiring the tables around the tree and understanding exactly why that area is such a draw. Something to aim for on a future visit. We ordered several dishes to share. Some of the starters were a little smaller than I expected, but there was plenty of flavor packed into them. The ribeye taco was one of my favorites, with Chihuahua cheese, salsa verde, and a little heat from the Yahualica chile. The octopus taco was right up there with it, paired with Chihuahua cheese, frijoles puercos, and pineapple pico that brought in a nice sweet-savory contrast. Both disappeared quickly, which is generally a good sign at our table. The cocktails were another highlight. Everyone ordered something different and there wasn't a disappointed person in the group. Our server checked in throughout the evening without hovering, which gave us plenty of time to eat, talk, and inevitably compare everyone's drink choices. By the end of dinner, I had already figured out my strategy for round two: Uber there, explore a little more of the cocktail menu, and see if we can snag one of those coveted tables near the tree. Even if we don't, I'd happily come back.

It's a spot that brings people together, and you can feel the love in the food and the atmosphere. This café is part of my family's story, part of East LA's story, and part of the community's heart. I love coming here, and I'm grateful for a place that still feels like home after all these years.

The Hollenbeck de Pollo had a huge filling of guacamole, and chicken!!! Mini $12.99. What a great deal in this economy. The portions were large and the wet burrito just had so much flavor. I loved how everything came together. Ordered the half basket of chips and boy was it worth! Thanks Eric for the recommendation and tips!! Will be back if in the area!! And there was a line when I left! The guy behind the counter was great!

The line can get pretty long, but it moves surprisingly fast, so don't let that scare you away. Once you get your food, you'll need to find your own seat somewhere in the food court, which can be a little chaotic when it's busy. The seafood was definitely the highlight for me. Everything tasted really fresh, bright, and limey which worked perfectly with the tacos. The citrus and acidity kept the seafood tasting light and refreshing, while the toppings and sauces added enough flavor without overpowering the main ingredients. I really enjoyed the tacos and liked how clean and fresh everything tasted. It's a nice change from heavier, more traditional taco spots, especially if you're in the mood for seafood. Overall, the setup is a little unconventional, but the food is absolutely worth it. I'd definitely come back for the seafood tacos, especially when I'm craving something fresh, citrusy, and flavorful.

Having said that, the dish was worth the wait. Uni was sweet scallops tender. Nice. Ambiance? It's a food hall. Noisy and has a tendency to echo your neighbors conversation and squelch yours. If that's your jam. I got lucky with my parking space. I can't imagine parking at dinner time. Can we say Ride share?
