    A great little place in the Gallery Strip Mall in Westbury. Quality Mexican food. The drinks were fresh and strong. The chips are warm, thick and crunchy. Homemade salsa. Good sized portions. Nice looking bar too.

    Our favorite neighborhood comfort food place. Consistently good food. Attentive service. The cocktails and Tequila flights are just perfect every time.

    Came here for dinner on a Monday evening with a reservation, but definitely didn't need one. I got their chocolate Chile old fashioned to start which was delicious, and I can be a little snobby about a cheaply made old fashioned, so this one passes the test. The complimentary salsa and chips are good, and were only elevated by the guac that we got with it, the classico, but I was tempted to go with the yucateco. We got the carnitas burrito, which was tasty albeit a little messy to eat with the sauces on top, the chicken tortilla soup, which even on a warm day was still good, and a side of yucca fries which comes with an incredible dipping sauce. Portions are generous and for the price feels like a great deal for what we got. Staff was very friendly, just wish they came to refill water a little more often. Ambiance is nice, and a cute spot for a date or just a nice dinner where you actually can hear the people you're with! Parking in the shared lot in front is pretty ample but it can fill up pretty quick with all the stores around.

    Came here around 6pm on a Saturday. We were seated, and warm nachos with salsa were brought to our table within the minute. I don’t remember his name, but our server was wonderful. He checked up on us several times, and made excellent food and drink recommendations. We ended up getting the overloaded nachos, Baja fish and birria tacos, along with the hibiscus margarita. The food was fresh and delicious! The margarita was STRONG! The service was top notch here! Thank you for the great experience! Will definitely be coming back!

    Great location and great customer service. Went for dinner last night and it’s been on my bucket list to attend. You have the option to eat indoor and outdoor. The food is great and the food isn’t far behind it, I mean it’s amazing point blank. I would say it’s over priced Mexican food but that’s you to decide. We ordered a fajita for 2 and 1 kids quesadilla and the birria tacos “ appetizer” and 2 sodas and 1 virgin piña colada for $106 plus tip.

    Nice clean setup with a comfy setting. From front door to the servers, everyone is super professional and upbeat. Tacos are delicious and I love the mango guacamole. The drinks need help, not flavorful or strong. Sangria wasn't too bad but no flavor as well.

    Tocolo has great prices for food. The atmosphere is very nice and the music is on point. The food is pretty good for the price and the drinks are good also. Did I mention they have unlimited chips and salsa. So overall it’s a great place with good food good drinks and good pricing you can’t go wrong

    Experience: Went in for quick business lunch with a friend and was seated right away. Service was really good and efficient: waters were refilled right away and food came out in order and on time. I truly wish all restaurants are like this in terms of service. Food: For starters, we ordered the guacamole and chips and tortilla soup and our entrees were the birria tacos and carne asada rice bowl. Everything tasted delicious. Overall: Well priced, delicious food, and great service. I would come back again 10/10.

    Came here to grab a quick bite while out shopping. The place spacious and the seating is roomy. Which is something I appreciate. We sat in a booth. The waiter was very helpful and attentive to our needs. She was able to answer all questions asked and made great suggestions.she informed us that it was happy hour so we got a round of margaritas. Baby when I tell you them drinks hit the spot. They were perfecttttt. It’s been a while since I tried a new spots margaritas and liked them. I wasn’t really hungry so I opted for the garlic wings “well done”. The wings were delicious. I was very impressed. We also ordered the guacamole and that too was delicious my sister ordered the loaded nachos and was unable to even finish them she said it was good as well. Over all I was pleased and would like to thank the waitress for her hospitality. I believe she said her name was BB. I will definitely visit again. Especially with the Trader Joe’s so close 😎

    Good food and strong drinks. The service was attentive and food comes out timely. Highlights was the Short ribs and church's with Caramel sauce. The steak fajita was good but I felt it was missing something like rice. With just tortillas and steak and peppers it was not that filling. Overall a quality place.

    This was an AMAZING find for us!! Strolling at the Westbury Plaza, the light hunger took us to this place and their menu had good Veg options, so decided to try it. The service was quick and the complimentary Nachos-Salsa was greattt! The Enchiladas we ordered were beautifully served and tasted even better! Would definitely recommend it to everyone.

    Loved everything about this place - atmosphere, food, drinks, service. In a great area too. Guacamole and margaritas were amazing.

  • 5/5 Janine K. 11 months ago on Google
    Everything I’ve ordered has been fresh and delicious! I would like to see the mushroom fun Dedo be mixed more instead of just mushrooms on top of fun, Dedo, but that’s just my preference. Make sure you order the hibiscus margarita and those loaded nachos are definitely a must try.

    We decided to stop by late last night and were pleasantly surprised by the efficient service and delicious food. To kick off our meal, we ordered guacamole, queso fundido, and nachos, and all of them were fantastic. Both my wife and I went for the steak fajitas, which turned out to be really tasty, and the steak itself was wonderfully tender. We also enjoyed the virgin Margaritas, which were quite good. All things considered, this is definitely a place worth trying out.

    I sat at the bar and Phoebe was an amazing bar tender. She treats you like family and you can see that people love her because of how many of them that weren't even sitting at the bar said goodbye before they left. I ate tortilla soup which was very good. It wasn't over salted which is an issue that you can run into. There was a good amount of avocado in the soup and I enjoyed it. I also had birria tacos, rice & beans and yucca fries. Excellent is the only word that I can come up with to describe everything that I ate. I will definitely return. Thank you Phoebe!

    This was my first time trying this place .. The decor and ambiance is very nice. The staff was also very friendly .The waiter gave us some great tips on what to order Drinks were amazing. The Havana Mule is a must have. The Nacho's are some of the best I've ever had. I would definitely recommend this spot for a group of friends in the summer time. They have inside and outside seating.

    The food here was delicious. Staff was very friendly and promptly seated us. I was able to make reservations on my phone and received a text message confirmation immediately. The restaurant uses adequate social distancing. Lastly, the food was delicious. WISH THE BATHROOM WAS CLEANER.
