Tocaya Modern Mexican - MATCHA HORCHATA - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Tocaya used to be one of my favorite places to eat. The bowls, salads, and burritos are the reason I kept coming back, and the plantain chips with guacamole are always a favorite. Unfortunately, the reason I stopped coming as often is because of the service. The wait times can be very long, and by the time the food arrives, it is sometimes already cold. Many times, I've noticed other customers receiving their food and drinks before mine, even when they arrived after me. When asking for extra salsa, limes, or even a simple napkin, employees often seem bothered or forget to bring what was requested. This is especially disappointing after paying and leaving a good tip. Good customer service means more than just taking an order, it means checking in on customers and making sure they are having a good experience. The food quality is still great, but this location could improve so much if the customer service matched the quality of the food. Unfortunately, the service is what keeps customers from coming back and enjoying the experience this place has the potential to offer. read more

Contemporary, Causal-Chic, Delicious. This quick service restaurant serves modern Mexican cuisine - tacos, bowls, salads, burritos, tortas, soups and desserts. Beverage-wise there is a connection of seasonal aguas frescas, "sangria" style wine-based cocktails, wine and beer available. I ordered the Chicken Tinga Torta with a side of cilantro lime rice. The chicken had nice flavor (not spicy), fresh creamy guac, fresh romaine crunch, tasty vegan chipotle crema, and bright tomatillo salsa verde. The bolilo bread was nice a toasted too. The side of cilantro lime rice helped absorb the extra liquid from the tinga, chipotle crema, and salsa verde. And to round out my meal, I ordered their seasonal watermelon aguas frescas. My friend ordered the taco salad, and she really loved the variety of flavors and textures. Sweet pops of flavor from the grilled corn and red onion, savory crunch from the tajin tortilla strips, meatiness from the achito chicken, and herbaceous from the chopped cilantro and spicy cilantro lime. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is bigger that I thought was a second dining area in the back of the restaurant. Beautiful decorated tile, lots of live and decorative succulents, fun neon sign art, and ample seating. Clean and organized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were friendly - from the cashier, to the food runner, to the busser who offered to refill our aguas frescas to-go. read more

Omg, the food here is so good, well, at least the nacho kit (which isn't even on the menu!). While I was waiting, I saw a huge plate of nachos being served and immediately knew I needed that. When I got to the register, I asked about it and basically said, "I want that!" The tortilla chips were fresh and perfectly crispy, topped with tinga chicken, beans, guacamole, onions, and cheese sauce. Everything was flavorful and hit the spot. The portion is huge, so my husband and I shared it and still had plenty. We'll definitely be back. Just probably to a location a little closer to us! read more

Since Chef Felipe joined the team at Tocaya Organic on Sunset, I immediately noticed such a beautiful difference in the delicacy and flavor of the cooking. Being from France, I'm very particular and sensitive to cuisine and the subtlety of flavors, so I truly appreciate the difference. I've been coming almost twice a week, and my favorite dishes are the La Flor and the fish tacos. I also love the variety of their aguas frescas. I've also started bringing friends who had never been to Tocaya before, and they absolutely adore the food. I especially appreciate the many vegan options and how attentive Chef Felipe is to people's dietary restrictions, including food allergies. Because of Chef Felipe, I'm even willing to try new items and be more adventurous with my choices because I trust his skills and creativity. The current manager, Janet is an absolute delight. Herself with the team are young, energetic, attentive, professional, and genuinely helpful, which I absolutely love. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's such a positive energy every time I walk in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tocaya Organic has become my new favorite place for business meetings or simply to sit down and study.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I absolutely love the new team and am so grateful for the wonderful experience they bring every time I visit. read more

What an amazing place! Healthy Mexican food. I loved coming to tocaya organica. I chose the protein bowl with a side of chips and salsa. Everything was spectacular, and tasted fresh. There were so many options and combinations to create, you could probably eat here every day for a month and not eat the same combination. Very good flavors + healthy choices and reasonable price- very friendly and professional staff specially Steven the manager. read more

Stopped by recently and honestly, it was a solid choice. The food tasted really fresh and flavorful without feeling heavy. I like that you can customize everything, whether you're in the mood for something plant-based or want to add protein. The sauces were definitely the highlight -- they bring everything together. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is super chill. Bright, clean, and kind of trendy but not in an over-the-top way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a good spot to grab a casual lunch or just hang out for a low-key dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was easy and smooth since it's counter-order.

Giving this location a huge shout out for their service! Today our company chose Tocaya for our corporate lunch and we had a rather large delivery order. Once arrived I noticed several items absent resulting in one of our employees missing their entire lunch. However I was able to quickly call up the location, indicate which menu items were missing and had them delivered in record time! I was thoroughly impressed. I can not thank the employees who handled this enough. Many of our team had never had Tocaya before and it was an overall hit! My order was the Salmon Cesar Salad and it was absolutely perfect. Only thing different I would do next time is add extra dressing and Guac. My only recommendation would be for them to use the personalized label other restaurants use for when their partner with Relish. It puts each individual's initial on the order and makes it easier to separate/quality check. This was the first location we used from relish that didn't use the labels. Otherwise we had a pleasant experience and I hope we can order here again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a great, casual, Mexican place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You pick up a menu, order at the counter, and pick a number and table. The food will be brought out to you. The restaurant offers a variety of bowls and tacos. They also offer margaritas and beers. I ordered the grilled chicken tacos. The tacos come in corn tortillas with toppings and salsas. The dish was great. We also ordered the queso with chips. That was a good serving for two people. The bowl looked hearty and topped with healthy toppings. My friend said this is her go to restaurant whenever she is in town. read more

Tocaya Modern Mexican - went to my car to right the review - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is my second time trying Tocaya & both times it did not disappoint. Their Guacamole and chips is soo good I could eat this alone. Their Birria tacos are flavorful and tasty. The spicy margarita is a little too spicy for my liking but I'll definitely have to try some of their other drinks. My friend ordered the tamarindo margarita and she loved it. The Ambiance of the restaurant is very modern but nice . Parking at the La and Hollywood locations are not the best. (Street parking ) But I would definitely return . read more

I have to say, this is my first time ordering from this place and the BIRRIA TORTA was 11/10!! Normally when you order one thing off a menu for a delivery you pay double or triple what the price of your actual order is to the delivery services, this time it was worth every penny! The presentation, cleanliness and taste of the food was just perfect! Thank you Tocaya! I can't wait for another one of these and to try what else you have to offer. So delicious read more

They close at 10pm, at least on a Friday...so if you're hungry after 9pm, you can still get some tacos here. I almost missed seeing it existed on this 2nd floor of the mall, but it's chill, good vibes. Great staff, indoor and outdoor seating. I'm still sad that the WeHo location on Sunset closed but so happy to find this one is here! I love the blue corn tortillas, chewy and great texture. Kudos to manager Danny for keeping good vibes here. read more

I have frequently ordered from Tocays on wilshire in Santa Monica however, today will be my last day. The tortilla soup which I regularly get was literally half raw red onions cut in big pieces it also tasted like they had added cornstarch to the soup today because it was super gloppy there is normally black beans and a little bit of neither of there today. Had I actually been in the restaurant I would've returned it. but I was already back at my office. A restaurant needs to have consistency. If I order something one day it needs to be the same. The next time I order it not a completely different dish that's half red onion. Super disappointing and means I'll have to explore some of the other lunch options in Santa Monica because tocaya is not dependable. I ended up throwing half of my nine dollar soup away never again. read more

Food was delicious! They also have gluten free and vegan options...,,, and the service was excellent I'll be a repeat customer to the Hollywood location read more

I've only ordered delivery from Uber Eats so I can't speak on the service or ambiance, but I've always been happy with what I've ordered! Are they the most authentic tacos in LA? Probably not, but they're really yummy regardless. I especially like the baja fish tacos. The mahi mahi is always nicely fried and crispy even after traveling some ways to get to me. And the chipotle sauce adds a nice sweetness. Another favorite of mine are the chicken tinga tacos. The lime pepita mole is delicious and the fried onions on top add a nice crisp. I've also gotten the house quesadilla, and while the achiote chicken and mushrooms were nice and the chipotle crema made for a tasty dipping sauce, I thought the quesadilla could be a little bit cheesier. My only complaint is the portion size for the guac is almost laughably small. The one time I ordered it, I ended up with way more plantain chips than I could ever use to scoop up the puny little glob of guac I received, which is a shame because I liked the guac and thought the pomegranate and pepita seeds were a nice touch! I'll definitely keep ordering from Tocaya but I'll probably stick with their tacos since that's what they seem to do best! read more

This is the WORST store I've ever ordered from. Multiple times have I ordered delivery from this location and everything I get cold, old, stale food. How is it that I order the fish tacos and I bite into them and they're hard???? Ordering delivery i accept warm or even cold food. But HARD and OLD??? NO! read more

Needs better management. Taco Tuesday and Cinco de Mayo. Manager understaffed. 15 people ahead of me in line, ok, I understand that. 1 person working at the register. After 20 minutes in line, a cook comes out and says it's a 45 minute wait for food. I know, they had a bunch of door dash orders, too. Staff appropriately. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Last time I was in, 30 min before closing they put all of the chairs up on tables around me. Every. Single. One. That says get out, we're closing in 30 minutes.

I was helped by Brian who was super friendly very knowledgeable and very genuine and authentic. Top notch service, top notch environment and top notch organic and high quality food at a very affordable price! The Salmon Bowl was absolutely magnificent!

For months now, we have been frequenting Tocaya at Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, CA. Each time we go on a Tuesday I am amazed that the ridiculous posted menu has not changed - even though I have pointed out the problem months ago. Just in case you are unaware, please take a look at the menu attached. This menu has changed slightly a couple of time over the past months but this math equation is still there. Let me put like I'm talking to a third grader taking a math test: It's Taco Tuesday & Sally wants to get three tacos. She looks at the menu and is overjoyed to see there is a "3-taco Sampler" for $11.95. Even though she would rather have a "Salmon Taco" instead of a "Tinga Taco," she figures the three tacos must be a better deal. What would be the best deal for Sally to get what she wants? A.) The Sampler B.) Three of the same tacos on the sampler but purchased Individually. C.) Three individual tacos swapping out the "Tinga" - Asada, Baja, & Salmon. D.) Go to Taco Bell. If Sally wants to save money, the answer is "B." Asada $4, Baja $4, Tinga $2 = $10.00 $1.95 less than the "Sampler" price for the same food! If Sally wants to get her "Salmon Taco" instead of the "Tinga," then Asada+Baja+Tinga = $12. Just 5 cents more than the "Sampler." (clearly the best deal) If Sally's brain hurts - she should just go ahead and pay more (11.95) for the convenience of saying "I'll just have the Sampler please." UNBELIEVABLE read more

Midday Saturday I order, it comes, and how lucky am I? I got the old corn in the "street corn" - and look, I know Tocaya, it's what you get when you want LAWHytePeepo "Mexican" food. And they have a high price point I thought because the ingredients are usually quality top tier and fresh - but I got the old corn. I don't want to think about how long it was either in the fridge and reheated or what but I also got a burrito with the fattiest bits of pork in it, gross, I'm spitting out every meat bite to remove excess fatty bits. So I got the low tier ingredients mid day Saturday? The chips were a little dense with oil but they were alright at least. OH and I hope you love over-paying for a ridiculous amount of rice. They looove to fill their burritos with more rice than is an acceptable ratio to the other ingredients. read more
