    Tocaya is such a great spot for the veggie & vegan girlies!! Recently placed a pickup order for a taco salad and burrito. The vegan picadillo was INSANE! There were some ingredients missing from the burrito (cheese and avo) but it was still good! Parking is free for first 90 mins, and the space inside and out is really nice.

    Joined my friends for happy hour at Tocaya! Margaritas were $9 i believe! The guava one is INSANE. So good we all got two. Guac was solid. Elote was okay! Salsa was also okay! Asada bowl was super yummy! Steak was tender and seasoned well. Loved the potatoes in it! Plenty of indoor seating plus limited outdoor seating! Fast service!

    Good tasty food overall. Very tasty La Flor Taco and Cauliflower Taco. Horchata made with almond milk...mmmm...yummm.. Corn Toritilla Soup tasted soooooo goood. Delicious. I added the side of Corn in the soup. So filling and delicious. Definitely going back again. Also recommend this place to try atleast once. Quick service. And ambiance is also very clean green and fresh.

    Excellent taco Tuesday! 3 tacos, a margarita, and chips and salsa weren't more than $25. The food was super fresh, my cauliflower taco was stellar. I wish I had gotten two. I'm usually not a fan of corn tortillas but these were very soft. I only knocked off a star because my food came super quick, but it was 10 minutes before my friend's came. Not a huge deal, but definitely noticeable to the point we almost went up to the counter to check it hadn't been forgotten.

    First time trying this spot. I always pass by when I go to my appointment near by. Came on a Friday night and it was not busy . Love the decor . The sonara steak bowl was delicious . We also got the guac and chips . My friend enjoyed her birria bowl too. Spicy margarita hit the spot . Reasonably priced too . Will definitely come back again. They are cashless fyi

    Great food. Wonderful presentation. Kameko the cashier was very pleasant and sweet. The interior is relaxing and classy. Parking, however, is not too great. But the food is delicious!!!!

    quesabirra tacos
    Jessica G.

    I placed my order through their mobile app for pickup and it was super easy. I ordered two quesabirra tacos and a tortilla soup. The tacos were cheesy and topped with pickled carrots and onions on a blue corn tortilla. The tortilla soup comes with avocado, corn, and black beans which makes it perfect for a cold day. Everything was very tasty!

    Great food and service! I had the cauliflower taco and the mahi mahi , both were delicious. The ambiance is really nice, and the staff is friendly. The only downside is parking they charge $3 every 15 minutes after the first 90 minutes.

    My brother comes here for Taco Tuesday every week. The deals are great and the service is awesome. The staff here is very nice and efficient. My husband loves the birria street tacos and the birria torta. My brother loves the chicken tinga, guacamole, and street corn. My daughter and I love the chicken achiote street tacos, guacamole, and street corn. Unfortunately, you can't order the taco Tuesday deal in advance for pickup, but the service is usually pretty fast, so you don't have to wait long for your order, especially if you dine in. There is a parking lot for the mall, which offers 90 minutes free parking.

    Review #1082~(Studio City, Los Angeles, CA)~ This organic Mexican restaurant was on my way out to where my car's parked at 'The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge,' Studio City, Los Angeles, CA., today on Saturday, 02/08/2025. I was visiting mostly the outdoor mall itself for a private vendors event. After i finished supporting the locals' vendors' market event at 'The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge,' i Yelped my way here to this organic Mexican restaurant. I just needed to fetch me a quick bite before i headed out to beat free parking. Service: 5/5~upon my turn, cashier was very efficient and helpful. Food: 5/5~the carne asada taco i bought was long gone inside my tummy. Super delish and juicy!!!! Ambiance~unfortunately my phone was out storage so only got about 9 pics this trip. From quick glances of the restaurant's interior, everything turned out clean and organized. I'll be back again in the near future. Yummy taco!!!!

    This is the aftermath of our date night on International Taco Day/Taco Tuesday. We're doing our part to make sure Tocaya doesn't go bankrupt! As delicious as ever and will always be at the top of our list of food in the SoCal area.

    I cannot recommend this place and would not go back but it's complicated and not all bad:…read more Room - Great Vibe - Great Service - Very Good Wine list - Very Good Wine prices - High Appetizers - Had 3 all very good Entree - Had 3 all just ok Food prices - High but whose aren't these days Plating - Great (all pretty pictures) The catch is sides are separate and pricey. You can do that when the entree's are exceptional and perfectly cooked to temperature. Think Arroyo Chop House. The other tell is we were there between 6 and 8 on a Saturday and the room was barely half full. This "was" the weekend before July 4th, but ... So you decide.

    5 Stars Everything…read moreabout this place was great! My friend and I regularly visit the North Hollywood Farmers Market on Sundays, where we usually get pasta from them. One day they invited us to check out the restaurant on Lobster Tuesday. While you can order from the regular menu that day, we went all in on the lobster dishes and loved everything we tried. The food was amazing, but the lobster ravioli was definitely my favorite dish of the night. Also, if you love bread like I do, definitely order the rolls. The ambiance was wonderful and I've heard they sometimes have live music, although I'm not sure which days. The staff made the experience even better. The host was friendly and kept me laughing with jokes while I waited for my friend to arrive. The bartender was also fantastic, understanding that I don't drink alcohol and made me an incredible mocktail that was so good my friend ended up ordering the same thing. From the food to the atmosphere to the service, everything was excellent. We had a great experience and will definitely be back!

    Some restaurants feel manufactured. Others feel discovered…read more What struck me most about Oy Bar was how naturally it inhabits its space. Rather than erase what came before it, the team seems to have understood the character of the room and built upon it. The bones are still there, but the atmosphere feels entirely its own. It's a reminder that great hospitality isn't always about reinventing a space. Sometimes it's about recognizing what already works and having the good sense to let it shine. The experience itself was remarkably seamless. Drinks arrived quickly, food followed with impressive timing, and every interaction felt genuine and unforced. There is an ease to the operation that can only come from a team that is both confident and deeply invested in what they do. The room carries a warmth that is increasingly rare. Good lighting, good energy, good music, and a staff that understands hospitality is as much about making people feel comfortable as it is about serving food and drinks. Nothing feels rushed, yet everything moves with purpose. Los Angeles has no shortage of places competing for attention. Oy Bar doesn't need to. It has something far more difficult to create: a sense of place. The kind that makes you want to stay for one more drink, linger a little longer, and start planning your next visit before you've even left.

    OyBar could be exceptional, but always just slightly misses the mark for us…read more One entree might be cold, or a bit under seasoned, or not-quite-as-described. That said, service is always friendly and professional, and the cocktail program is one of my favorites in Los Angeles.

    Loved everything about this place!…read more Staff was excellent and attentive. Food was amazing and very, very creative. The brick barrel vaulted ceiling that runs the length of the restaurant really adds to the ambiance of this place. Out of the seven dishes, only two were not as flavorful as expected. They were good by any other restaurant's standards, but just not great like the others. The other five dishes more than made up for this small blip. Can't wait to go again. Must tries: Quail Deviled Eggs with Ahi Tuna and Dill are amazing!! Hamachi with sprouted broccoli, tempura, ponzu, shiso aioli, Black Sesame Seeds Charred Brussels Sprouts with almonds, grapes, and Pecorino Romano. Lamb chops with Aji Amarillo, rosemary, and yogurt. These were the most tender lamb chops I have ever had. And that often overly-lamb flavor was not there. And do not pass up on the Charred Skirt Steak with yuca, chile de árbol, and aji mojo. Cooked to a perfect medium rare and extremely tender and exploding with flavor. The most expensive item of our dinner at $48 and worth it. A large portion that fed four of us.

    The last time I was here, I had a pretty bad experience, so I wasn't planning on coming back…read more However, my friends wanted to give it another shot, so I decided to join them. I'm glad I did because this visit was a huge improvement. The service was friendly, attentive, and much better than my previous experience. For food, we ordered the chicken Parmesan, meatballs, and taquitos. Everything was flavorful, well-prepared, and delicious. I also tried the Piccolo Punch and the Penicillin cocktails. The Piccolo Punch was especially unique and incredibly tasty, and the Penicillin was just as good. While the cocktails are on the expensive side, they're expertly crafted, strong, and definitely worth trying if you're looking for quality drinks.

    Just had an unfortunate experience. I love this place. Really. The ordering system just sucks. You…read morehave to be super patient and if other people are dicks there's no one that's going to help you. I was in a long line and the 2 girls in front of me let 2 girls that they were with cut. The guy behind me and the woman behind him exchanged glances with me but whatever. Just as the bartender is getting the last of the 2 girl's their drink, their friend walks up. And I just say to her, "do not cut. Your friends just did. Don't do it again." She says she's not and asks like it's her first day on earth. Then .3 seconds later her friend that was getting her drink orders on behalf of the girl that just stepped in front. And I say, "I just said don't do that and you just did it". And she denied that she was doing it. So I look at the bartender and I say, "they've cut multiple times." To which he raises his hand with a sort of like, "I only work here" shrug and I walked off. It was so rude. The service is so bad. It makes me really sad because I think it's a really cool place, but it's not worth it. Especially if the bar staff is not going to do anything to help the situation. Very disappointing.
