One of the best Mexican restaurants in the US. The food is outstanding. Have the selection of three guacamoles to start. You will not regret it. The tacos are exceptional, and I mostly get a couple; there is a wide range of choices. The entrees are great too. The cocktails are well judged. It's not cheap but worth every cent. I've been coming here since 2006 as a resident and later as a visitor. It's a must-visit for me whenever I'm in New York. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I got the vegetarian tacos and the pumpkin rice. Highly recommend the pumpkin rice—so flavorful and so hearty, one of my favorites! Tacos were a bit tinier than I expected but overall great taste. Also pretty close to Times Square but not close enough for it to be super packed and touristy. Would go back!

Excellent...all around. We had brunch there before a Broadway show. Not only was the food fresh and tasty. Pretty authentic in my experience. (Not overly salted, but plenty of subtle flavors in the guac trio and tacos -- which my girl friend and I shared). The vegetarian tacos were the best in my opinion. The brisket tacos were too fatty for my taste, but if you like that, you'll enjoy. The restaurant itself was nicely decorated -- loved the walls & art, and the layout is tight, but cozy. It was absolutely perfect for our catch-up girl date! (Very small restroom, with tiny changing table, not sure if there was another restroom upstairs.) The margaritas are super! Complexity of salt & sweet and mildly spicy. The most surprising positive was the service, they were attentive, but once they heard this was a "catch-up" brunch, the waitress was so careful to "look over", but not interrupt. However, once when we were trying to get her attention, but she was occupied, the hostess made sure we had what we needed. Excellent, absolutely recommend!

This place is definitely above average but some things didn't quite sit well with me . The service was a bit slow at times but it was understandable because it was a busy brunch time. The tacos are good. I think the meat was prepared really well but I don't think it was seasoned to my liking. Some of the meat lacked some flavor but it wasn't too bad. Rice and beans were also good. The queso was decent at best. The first few bites were really good but the consistency becomes more watery as you go on. Definitely not a bad place! Decent at best. 3.5 stars to be honest.

First and foremost, I want to give a shout out to the host or the guy at the entrance. His name was Jorge. Very accommodating and answered questions with solutions and I want to say this is a great Mexican restaurant in the area. The staff here was great and they were definitely Mexican working at a Mexican restaurant which to me shows a good sign and something that calls out authentic. everyone did their best to try to make our experience excellent from changing the TV to something I wanted to getting drinks in a timely manner. Let’s talk about the food now. It was great and very authentic not Americanized as a lot of Mexican restaurants do these days. Our waitress did an excellent job and if we so much as looked up somebody from the staff or our waitress tried to help us anyway they could! The food was great so I urge anybody to go here and get some good food. We will be back next time we visit. Great job restaurant and staff.

Dinner was fun though the restaurant is really noisy. Upstairs was packed (good for business!) but seating was cramped. Downstairs would have been better on our view. Foodwise everything was quite good. Tacos were nice and the special seafood dish with octopus was excellent. Dessert was good too!

Tortillas couldn’t hold toppings so it was messy to eating them. They charged $30 for dessert sample plate which includes bite size of 3 cakes and 3 mini churros. Desserts are $10 for full portion so really pricey. Food is okay nothing special in my opinion.

Absolutely delicious food, brunch menu was perfection with lots of options. Service was so friendly and helpful, made us feel like regulars. Will definitely be back!

Loved our experience here, trying the guacamole, tacos and the miso-tequila glazed cod, all of which were flavourful and delicious. The server was very helpful in providing solid recommendations, and the food came out very quickly. The star of the show was the cod for sure; flavourful, flakey and not dry at all, it was the best fish dish I’ve had in a long time! Very glad to have had the chance to eat here on this NY trip!

Just do it. Don't think about it twice, just do it. Listen carefully to the special, because chances are it'll be amazing. We were here on a busy Saturday night without a reservation and the service was amazing and quick. The food was something else, try the house margarita.

A quick note before unpacking the experience. Toloache is commonly referred in Mexican culture as a plant that is given to someone that you want to fall in love with you. " Te dieron Toloache" (you were given Toloache) is used as an expression when you fell in love with someone. Madly. That is exactly what happened to us about this place. We fell madly in love with the experience and the food. First off, the welcoming experience. You just passed by one of the canonical American experiences: Times Square. Yet, when you enter Toloache, you feel immediately transported to a Mexican kitchen + patio. Yes, in the heart of NYC. Greeters are super courteous ( which can happen in NYC!) and they will take you to their best table available. Then, the food. As I have written before, I always try the basics for Mexican food : Rice, beans and tortillas. They have these extremely well done. So, let's keep going please... The Suadero tacos sent me back to my childhood in Mexico City, eating suadero tacos financed from my week's allowance. Fantastic. They added sour cream, which is not the original way, but that made suadero probably more appealing to broader audiences. So, great overall. The arroz con mariscos was absolutely great. Tasty, lots of flavor, plenty of seafood and light at the same time. Tacos de Lechón with chicharrón were also very well prepared, with a nice balance of textures from the soft lechón and the crunchy chicharrón. The Pollo Toloache had a superb Chipotle sauce. The pollo was very well prepared and deliciously marinated. The star of the night was the Bacalao Trufao. What a delight. A very creative way to prepare Bacalao ( which is a common dish for Xmas in Mexico) but done masterfully with juicy slices of fish that were masterfully prepared. Corn (esquites) made a great contrast of texture. Desserts were also very well done and creative: My flan had pop corn (never had that combination before) and it was simply one of the best fans I have had. Their tres leeches is also very aunthentic, similar to wat you get in Mexico City. OH, and they have great cocktails (Mezcalita de Toronja was so good) too. This is a place that innovates and blends traditional recipes from Mexico City with new and fun ingredients. The owner and Chef is a México City native who is really making us proud.

Been going here a few times now but I'm obsessed with their salmon dish! It's so buttery and soft. The skin is perfectly crispy. All their cocktails are great too. Can't go wrong with the frozen margaritas but I really like their mezcal drinks.

Everything was excellent from the salsa to the hot chocolate to everything in between. We were in a hurry to catch our show and we made it easily on time while also eating the best meal we’ve had in a while. We had short rib quesadilla, shrimp taco and suckling pig with red cabbage. All fantastic!! We will be back!

I came here for lunch with my friend, and I got the restaurant week package. The pork belly was absolutely delicious, and the cabbage salad that comes with it was super fresh. The fish entree was gigantic compared to what I thought it would be, so that was definitely a pleasant surprise.

Some of the best Mexican food I've had. Everything was delicious. The flan at the end with caramel popcorn was a stroke of genius. The Fruitas guacamole was incredible. Highly recommended.

Are you heading out for a great night in Manhattan? Then Toloache is the perfect place to start! Our group was heading off to see Chicago, so we made a 5:00 pm reservation and were served promptly, giving us time to walk to the theater and enjoy the sights along the way. We dined in our curbside tent, offering privacy as well as providing less exposure to any unwanted health issues. The cocktails were sublime, as was their ceviche tasting menu. The octopus was a big hit, along with the tuna. We also indulged in a variety of guacamoles too. Dinner entrees included delicious tacos from short ribs to fish, enchiladas, and my favorite, Chicken Toloache. This entree was a savory, juicy, tasty mouthful! So if you want appetizers and cocktails or entrees and desserts, Toloache delivers upon its excellent reputation!

My fiancé and I unexpectedly had time to kill near the theater district. (Turns out, our tickets for Book of Mormon are for tomorrow. Oops) So we used our friend, Google, and found Toloache nearby. We tried pineapple mezcalritas, mango mezcalritas, guacamole, shrimp tacos, lobster tacos, and rice and beans, along with a delicious tomato-based salsa. My favorite was…. Everything! I would give 7 stars if I could. We even complimented the chef personally. The service was great as well. Highly recommend.

I thought it offered good Mexican food at reasonable prices. The service was mostly fast and efficient, although our main server seemed like she was having a bit of an off day. We were in the upper level which was the only area I saw that had a table that could take our party size (8). The overall decor was pretty standard and nothing special. So overall a mid-level place that lived up to that standard. The 4 star rating, both in the general category as well in the individual categories (Food, Service, Atmosphere) reflects the fact that I thought it was good, but not superlative in any of them.

Great little place that is priced I feel just right. Staff was great and the food simple but AMAZING!! I wanted to have more but no room at all!!

Came here for a mother's day dinner! We got the traditional guacamole (not mind-blowing, but good), the Quesadilla de Pollo, the Camarón and Suadero tacos (delicious!), and finally the flan (very good!). My aunt got a traditional mojito, which was very refreshing The quesadilla was filling and delicious, but the real highlight for me were the tacos! It's a splurge for a meal, but would highly recommend for a special occasion! The service was really good as well!

Stopped by on a Friday night after seeing a show. We were greeted and seated outside in a smaller private room enclosure. Ordered some drinks, guac and tacos. We had the carne asada and the suadero tacos. Both were great and the suadero was a little spicier than I anticipated, but still fine. Either way, they were all delicious and our service was exceptional. Overall a great place to grab a bite to eat!

I had an 8:45 pm reservation. However, I ended up waiting until past 9 pm to be seated. For my trouble, the manager gave me his favorite Chef’s Speciality Margarita on the house which was a nice gesture. I ordered the Carne Asada with au gratin potatoes, guacamole, and mole cheese enchilada. Everything tasted decent. Portion size was a bit on the smaller side. The star of the show was the carne asada. Very tender and flavorful.

The food was amazing and the service was exceptional! My group went here after a Sunday matinee. We called ahead to reserve a table due to having particular accessibility needs and the host was very accommodating. The food was also brought out swiftly. While we waited, we watched all the guacamole being freshly made before it was served to us. We even had a member of our party join late and his food arrived very promptly after he ordered.

Great experience all around! Got an 11:30am reservation as soon as they opened on a Sunday top catch a 1:00 show a block away. Perfect brunch and drinks were spot on. Highly recommend the Banana french toast (AWESOME), guacamole, mojitos, and a mescal drink they recommended to me. Even offered to go cups for our drinks on the way over. Highly recommend!

First, the service was SUPERB. I asked about gluten free options and the waitress was amazing. Kind and patient. Since I was alone I didn’t order an appetizer, but can’t wait to go back and try the three kinds of guacamole. I did have the salmon with pumpkin creamy rice. Oh my goodness! I have dreams about it! I ordered the Toloache margarita and it is probably among the best I’ve ever had. It was also a little strong. (But I’m a lightweight). The restaurant IS pricey, but to be expected for the location (just down the street from Wicked too). The atmosphere was a little dim, but relaxing and beautifully decorated. So glad I went. I just popped in because I was out late and hadn’t eaten dinner and thought, “why not?” Great decision!

Wonderful restaurant, the food and drinks were unique and delicious. Best carne asada tacos ever, very tender and flavorful. Enjoyed the tres guacamoles as a family had something for everyone. The margarita was well made, however I recommend you get the mezcalitas instead for a more unique experience. Don't normally recommend cod but the bacalao trufado mushrooms were very nicely paired with the mezcalitas de piña.

Don’t hesitate, great Mex food and restaurant. Two of us sat at the bar, it was busy as expected. I had the tortilla tomato soup which was amazing, the veggie enchilada was good but felt like I was missing the rice and beans.

My friends and I had a blast, the staff was so knowledgeable about the menu and all their recommendations were on point. We loved it.

First time trying this restaurant and I will say we had a great time and experience. The food was good, our server was friendly and helpful, and the drinks were nice and strong!! The only reason I gave the food 4 stars is because I feel like we need to go back and try more things. The one thing I didn't really care for was how extremely close we were to the people sitting next to us we definitely were hitting each other getting in and out of our chairs. I understand wanting to seat everyone but maybe be mindful of when people need to get up and down to use the restroom or leave when doing seating arrangements. Other than that I look forward to going back.

Its one of my regular places next to my office. Great mexican food and some amazing drinks. We have tried most of the menu here and you can never go wrong with any dish. Have good vegetarian options too. Place won’t burn a hole in your pocket, still will give a good time. Will recommend!!!

Went in NYC Restaurant Week Summer 2022 edition. The food is hit or miss. For starters, I tried the quesadilla de verano which is ok but don’t consider it to be restaurant-worthy; also as a starter had the aguachile which I *do not* recommend. It was rancid and spicy, probably not something the kitchen should serve if they had a chef. The tlayuda de pescado was good if you like fish and had a pretty presentation. I recommend the fajita de entraña (skirt steak fajita) because it is a tasty large dish that can be shared. Overall, alright but not great.

We are from Texas and have high standards when it comes to Mexican food. Both sauces (green and red) are wonderful! We have been to NYC a couple of times now, but this is easily the best food we have had.
