I want to come back here everytime i visit AZ. Bradley was an amazing waiter and everything was delicious!

We came to Toca Madera Scottsdale for brunch and had such a great experience. We started with the Champagne kit, which was a fun way to kick things off. They drop off these jalapeño cheddar cornbread with butter that was fenomenal and then ordered the Wagyu A5 tacos as a starter, hands down my favorite thing of the day. For mains, we tried the short rib enchiladas and the steak and eggs, both cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Our server was excellent, attentive without being overbearing, and made the whole meal feel easy and enjoyable. The atmosphere here is always beautiful, from the décor to the vibe, and the music really set the tone for a lively brunch. Overall, Toca Madera never disappoints, and brunch here is a must
We had the absolute best experience at Toca Madera thanks
We had the absolute best experience at Toca Madera thanks to our server, Bradley! From the moment we sat down, he was warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel taken care of. He knew the menu inside and out, gave excellent recommendations, and made sure our drinks and plates were always perfectly timed. Bradley struck that perfect balance of being professional while also making the evening fun and memorable. His energy and attention to detail truly elevated our whole dining experience. If you're visiting Toca Madera in Scottsdale, ask for Bradley--you'll be in the best hands!

We had such an amazing experience at Toca Madera! The atmosphere was beautiful, the food and drinks were incredible, and the service made the night extra special. Our server, Bradley, went above and beyond--he was attentive, friendly, and had great recommendations that made our dinner perfect from start to finish. You can tell he truly cares about creating a memorable experience. We'll definitely be coming back and will be asking for Bradley again!
My husband and I celebrated our 26 year anniversary in
My husband and I celebrated our 26 year anniversary in Scottsdale and decided to try Toca Madera after seeing it all over TikTok. It seemed like the perfect upscale spot to dress up and enjoy a special night. The atmosphere was beautiful, definitely a place that makes an occasion feel special. We started with the Caesar salad and calamari and both were delicious. For our main course we each ordered the Japanese Wagyu steak flight at $94. I understand that with Wagyu you are paying for exclusivity and certification. These are rare, rich cuts that are world class and top tier in quality. What was disappointing was the portion size. The flight came with three small slivers of meat after being cooked. I have had steak flights before at other places like Asadero Prime and they came with more substance while still being premium. Their flights included 4 oz - USDA Prime Angus, Full-Blood Australian Wagyu, and Japanese A5 Wagyu, which made for a fuller and more satisfying experience. Our server was very kind and attentive. At the end he surprised us with a complimentary dessert flight for our anniversary, which I really appreciated. Still, I wish he would have given us a heads up before we ordered. Something along the lines of "this is only about one to two ounces, so if you are hungry you may want to order something else with it." That would have helped set expectations, especially for my husband. All in all, I am glad I tried Toca Madera. The Caesar and calamari were excellent, the truffle mac and cheese was just okay, and the Wagyu was incredible in quality but not in value for the price. If you plan to go, know that you are paying for the exclusivity of the food and the experience, but be aware of the portions so you order accordingly.
Best experience! Food is outstanding.
Drinks are amazing! Service is the best! Our server Jordan was very attentive, friendly, and provided great suggestions. Can never have enough of their guacamole! Ready to go back again!
Delicious heart of palms and diet drink.
they made me an alcohol free option. There were 5 of us, so not very busy. Would I meet there for dinner again? SURE, WHY NOT?

Airy, beautiful and calming is what I'll describe the ambience of this restaurant! It was really a breath of fresh air. I went for brunch, I got recommendations for dinner from my friends but I went for brunch instead and it did not disappoint! The food was extremely tasty, everything was a hit. I would say my favorite thing I tried was the Al pastor tacos and the chicken and waffles. Truly a lovely experience
Gave toca madera another chance and the service was waaay
Gave toca madera another chance and the service was waaay better! Thank you so much for making things right. Drinks were delicious food was good!
Went here while on vacation and had a fantastic meal.
The drinks were fabulous, the food was really good and overall the atmosphere was fun and lively. Service was good, but food delivery was slow. We ended up having to leave about 10 minutes after getting our entrees. The rest of our party stayed and mentioned the desserts were really great too.
Extreme disappointment with your location, made
Extreme disappointment with your location, made reservations for our wedding anniversary several days ago. Last evening, came in for our reservation .... and then were seated in the bar for an Anniversary reservation? It was a loud music environment, and could not hear my wife at the tight/cramped table that also had a dirty chair. This while the restaurant area was not busy and large percentage of open seating. No one was following your dress code as you sent me and said was required - there were numerous people in shorts, baseball hats, and flip flops? Why send a specific notice on our reservation on dress code, etc.. and then not even live your own message? We then waited after being seated at our table for approximately 15 minutes with no service, so we left. The location was not even that busy at the time? Servers hanging out and talking in a circle? No one focused on the customer? We left and mentioned to the front desk about no service or contact sitting there and the disappointment - the attitude of the location and staff was that of "who cares". Simply put this was the worst customer service I have experienced at a restaurant. Then - I get an email today thanking us for dining with them and looking forward to our next reservation with a link sent to make another reservation? Completely automated and out of touch.
Wow wow wow! Oh my goodness! This place is incredible, I
Wow wow wow! Oh my goodness! This place is incredible, I ordered the carne asada tacos and man THESE THINGS WERE AMAZING! I also tried the short rib enchiladas which had such a great pop and flavour to them. Don't get me wrong this place is not very cheap but to be honest I didn't care how much the bill was going to be after trying that food. Service was great and very respectful The ambiance was incredible. It had a modern look and to me is the perfect style and design. Wowza, yippie!! Will return. Thanks Toca, I will be returning. Thank you kindly, Thomas.
I love this place! Been twice now and incredibly impressed
I love this place! Been twice now and incredibly impressed both times. Everything is on point from the service to the food to the drinks. Most recent time we started with the calamari and then I had to the salmon while my date had the short rib enchiladas. Portions are good sized but not over the top. Sides were plenty to share. Atmosphere is swanky and fun. Lots of parties and pretty people dressed to impress. Can't wait to go back, even tho it's definitely a splurge night!
Love this place! Recommended.
Staff was very helpful as it was our first time, menu fits anyone's needed. Chefs kiss overall
After having to chase down a reply for reservations,
After having to chase down a reply for reservations, someone finally responded to my email and informed me that if you want to reserve a table for 9 people you have to spend $160pp?! that's absolutely ridiculous!!! If you want to claim to be a nice restaurant, the first thing you may want to work on is responding to customer inquiries first.
Service 5 starts - the entire team is very attentive,
Service 5 starts - the entire team is very attentive, provide solid drink options, amazing food recommendations. Ensured we did not order more than we needed. Ambiance 5 starts - Fun lively environment. Great for a place for couples, boyz night, ladies' night, to hang out. Food 5 stars - All of the food options, from apps to the main course, are amazing. Great flavors. !00% will be back again!!
The ambiance here is great it's a really pretty restaurant.
Fun for birthdays or events! The cocktails are all really good, I got the toca margarita with a tajin rim which is the perfect classic margarita. They bring you tortilla chips/plantain chips and pico when you are seated. We got guacamole to start which was great as well. We got the truffle quesadilla, enchiladas, street corn, and the mariscos. Will definitely be back!
Came here for brunch and loved the ambiance as it smelt
Came here for brunch and loved the ambiance as it smelt like sweet vanilla and cinnamon. The light colors, with natural lighting, and greenery. I love the vibes! The food was also yummy. The potatoes were very crispy and delicious!
This place was such a vibe!! A+++ for the food,
This place was such a vibe!! A+++ for the food, presentation, drinks, service, entertainment, and interior decor! Went here for dinner, very pricey dishes, but well worth it! Each bite it EVERYTHING was phenomenal and pleasing to the palate (actual every sense). I truly wanted to savor every bite, the aromas, and sips of my delicious food and cocktails. Also, friendly, thoughtful, super attentive and might I add-- good-looking servers as well! Ha! Make your reservation now! Go!

All of our food was a touch too salty but the service and ambience were lovely. Would come back!
Delicious food in a club atmosphere
Went here for our anniversary celebration. Loved the ambiance at first arrival. Seemingly fun vibe. We were disappointed however, when booking our reservation months in advance and specifically stating anniversary celebration that we were seated at a loud table in the bar area. Our table was also at the corner of a major walkway/corner where our outside chair, was frequently bumped and those gathered at the bar hung out closely. Lastly, the music was so loud that those sitting at the tables next to us were all shouting just to talk to each other . We in turn couldn’t hear each other even across a table for two and ended up texting for the majoring of our meal. If super loud is your vibe, choose bar seating. Service was great. Food was delicious. Likely won’t return due to noise factor and subpar seating.
Upscale Mexican with a cool vibe.
A Mexican restaurant with a cool interior and chic vibe, seems a place to go when you want to be seen. Excellent margaritas selection. Will return to give dinner a try, and perhaps see the fire dancer.
Nice decore and good Food, but expensive.
Went for drinks and appetizers and desert. Drinks were good. Had the Chiquita Banana, $18 and the Guava Margarita, $19. I had the Toco Caesar salad that was very good. $20. Also had the Truffle Quesadilla with fresh black truffle. They give you 3 Quesadilla for $34. It is expensive but tasted good. Had the Dama De Los Muertos. Nice presentation. Consisted of peanut butter mouse, covered in milk chocolate in the shape of a skull for $25. I also had the raspberry sorbet for $12. Drinks and the food we had were good but it is very expensive.
Best vibe + service + food
Had the BEST time! From the minute we walked in and were greeted by the sweetest hostess (with amazing white boots) to our exit, our experience was amazing! Colby was our server and was kind, approachable and knowledgeable. We loved him! My Caesar salad was ahhhhmazing and my daughter’s breakfast enchiladas were on point! Everyone working displayed knowledge in their craft AND were kind and smiling. Looking forward to our next dining experience there!
Awful Service
Let me start off by saying that the atmosphere is what attracts patrons to this restaurant, and on that front it certainly does not fail. There is a fire dancer who performs a few times per night which is pretty cool. Request a table along her walkway. Be warned: Toca Madera is definitely "Bachelorette Central" - full of tipsy bridesmaids simply there for the Instagram. All that aside, my main complaint, however, is regarding the service - our waitress was clearly trying to move us along as quickly as possible, and seeing that we had an 8:45 Tuesday reservation, I am not quite sure her reasoning (by the time we left at 10 the place was half dead). She moved us along so fast, we were there BARELY an hour. My brother was done eating, I was not, and she zoomed over to take his plate and ask us about dessert. Meanwhile, I was still finishing my main meal. The service left a really poor taste in our mouth. The mushroom quesadilla starter was excellent. Enchiladas were pretty good, too. To finish, we both ordered their famous passionfruit shots which are lit on fire - $26 each! Even for Don Julio Blanco, that is a total rip off. Not sure if this spot is worth leaving your wallet.
Visitors from the East Coast
Was a really cool visit and worth the trip for the vibe and young fun atmosphere. Drinks were yummy and different. Two kinda suggestions, its a bit pricy unless its a special occasion and the music(which i liked) was a bit loud to hold a conversation.
This is a nice spot to grab dinner.
The ambiance was really nice as well as the fire dancer. The food here was good. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share. I highly recommend the guacamole. The wagyu sliders were a bit disappointing, not the best quality. The steak was pretty good though! The fire shots are pretty fun to capture a video of. The only annoying part is there is a $120 per person minimum spend so if you're going be prepared to order a lot of food / drinks.
Good food but make sure you have more than just checks in
Good food but make sure you have more than just checks in your checkbook. There is truth to you get what you pay for but this was simply pricey!!

Simply lights out! Arguably the best restaurant in
Simply lights out! Arguably the best restaurant in Scottsdale. Very entertaining and the food and drinks are always on point. They are the Patrick Mahomes of restaurants and bars! The only thing they have to improve are the worthless paper straws. Please switch to plant base straw if you're wanting to be sustainable.
FIRE SHOW! Wow, Toca Madera was amazing.
My fiance & I brought my mom here for the first time, and she absolutely LOVED IT! We started off with the chicken tinga tostadas. The chicken was delicious. I honestly would have ordered two of those dishes as my entree. Next up was our cocktails. We had the los muertos with a side of pyro. The fire show is very impressive & fun to watch. For entrees, we blackened our salmon and ordered a side of brussel sprouts and cilantro lime rice. Everything was cooked perfectly & seasoned well. Yes, we saved room for dessert and ordered the buttercake. There was some sort of raspberry krisp on the side of the tres leches ice cream. SOOOO GOOD! The restaurant is very sexy, which is perfect for date night. We had a fantastic time!
I hosted a 17 person private event for my brother's
I hosted a 17 person private event for my brother's bachelor party. It was the highlight of three trip and one of the best large-party dining experiences I've had. Bianca helped us plan the event and Christian was an amazing server. Christian kindly ordered our food, which was amazing and diverse. Asian and Mexican inspired food was amazing. We also had a private fire eating show, which was great. The main dining area seemed lively and fun as well. 10/10 would whole-heartedly recommend to anyone visiting.
Great Vibe!
Enjoyed a fantastic dinner! The food was exceptional, and the ambiance was perfect. A delightful culinary experience – I highly recommend it!
Esteban was amazing! We came in for our friend's birthday
Esteban was amazing! We came in for our friend's birthday and I have the worst food allergies and he was so accommodating and lovely. The fire dancer was awesome to watch too! What a beautiful place to have dinner.
Toca Madera is always a good time.
Food, drinks and service are outstanding. Vibes are immaculate.
no one returns calls or emails for group reservations
I have been trying to book for a group of 10 for my birthday, I put in a request twice online as they suggested and I still have not received any email or call back.
YUMMY!
FABULOUS! Quite an adventure. Excellent Food and Entertainment. Gorgeous restaurant with great service and food. You may even be fortunate enough to see some celebrities while you are there. We saw Patrick Mahomes.
Worst customer service possible
Made a reservation. No email confirmation, just have the screen shot of the reservation number (thankfully) from when it through on the website. Ironically they have been spamming me non stop with emails despite not checking off the box that they could contact me with promotional information. Tried to call, email, send messages through the website, and send messages on IG. Absolutely nothing. Need to cancel my reservation and there is no way to go about this. But you know darn well they will charge my credit card the no show fee. Disturbing business practices.
Sexy Restaurant
Hello! Sexy Mexican Cuisine! You will not be disappointed! Gorgeous place! Fun and exciting atmosphere. Entertainment and nightlife after dinner. The bar was so much fun after dinner. I had the best espresso martini with tequila! I highly recommend!
Great Food....too loud
Food was excellent very fresh and tasty, creative ...all good. Service is attentive and friendly. But please please please turn down the music!!!' This is so not conducive to a romantic date night when you can't hear each other .....
Bad vibes
The reservation system totally sucks. Reservation changed without asking me. When trying to fix it you learn they never answer their phone their phone mailboxes are full and there's no way on the reservation site to alter or cancel your reservation. So we couldn't go to the restaurant and they have every intention of charging my credit card for their screw-ups.
Good vibe, bad food
Nice vibe but very poor food quality. Everything was too salty and we couldn’t finish any of the appetizers or mains we ordered because of the salt! Calamari was too salty and oily and very average, the chicken was too dry! Very disappointed by the food. Eve though the vibe was good but I won’t go back.
Trashy not classy. Bully security. Don’t waste your money.
We went and spent $$$$ on really great smaller portions of eats and AMAZING wines drinks and servers. However, as we literally were walking out of a remote exit: a dimwit, power tripping security said, “i love your energy but you’re done”. I said are you kidding me? As we are leaving? What rule did i violate? Response: yada yada yada garbage: A dimwit. Got asst GM manager involved — identified the wayward power tripping gumbah— free shots. I send a thank you to Asst. GM next day and crickets. Don’t waste your time coming here, how trashy of a situation. Outside security did NOT back up interior security; they said the security inside “make up reasons to kick people out”. Unbelievable. Dude with me was on Shark Tank, I’’m with Viper City Dance Team. Rotglmao. Idiots.
Went here for a Bachelorette and Lani and all the girls at
Went here for a Bachelorette and Lani and all the girls at the front were the absolute sweetest. Got all 17 girls sat together even though we had two separate reservations! The food was amazing and our waitress Sadie was so so sweet and made the best recommendations for food. The food was really good and the vibe was great. Overall 20/10 really recommend!!
The food was generally good but for the price point.
..I wouldn't say it was worth it for brunch. The chips and salsa were pretty good. Guacamole is an extra $16. Maybe the entrees are presented more heartily for dinner but for brunch you just get the meat with no sauce. All the sides have to be purchased separately (and they're NOT cheap). Definitely be prepared to spend a good penny on rather small portions of food. Our server was relatively new so she didn't really know the differences between the brunch menu and dinner menu which wasn't super helpful. Overall, mediocre at best.
This was our first experience here in Scottsdale coming
This was our first experience here in Scottsdale coming from Orange County and Los Angeles. High points: Having Britney and Brian as our servers. They were both pleasant, attentive, professional, and I could not have asked for a better team to serve us for our bachelorette celebration. As for the food, we ordered the Omakase dinner- ourfavorites included scallop, queso fondito, and the celebration dessert Britney brought us. Both Brian and Britney made our night. Thank you! Highly recommend to come back. Ps, drinks were wonderful!
Our first time here in Scottsdale and this beautiful
Our first time here in Scottsdale and this beautiful restaurant. The ambiance and decor is so welcoming with an open concept bar and kitchen. The music and volume was on point. So fun and great vibe. On a Friday night, you need to definitely reserve or else you'll be waiting for awhile. What a great experience for our 5 girlfriends who came here for our friend's bachelorette party dinner. We ordered the omakase and it was so delicious! Our servers Brian and Britney were exceptional. They were so friendly and lovely. Gave us recommendations on the food and drinks and really took care of us. They came to our table checking in on us many times but in a non pushy or rude way. Their personalities are honestly great! It's not easy to wait on tables on a Friday night especially with many bachelorette parties going on
Double Bs!!!!! That's all I gotta say.
BRITNEY AND BRIAN!!!!! They were the duo that made our night OUTSTANDING! Thank you for an awesome dinner and top notch service. Made our vacation out to Scottsdale so noteworthy!!!!!!!! (Oh PS the food and chips were amazing too. Omakase was worth it).

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Toca Madera Scottsdale at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Toca Madera Scottsdale page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.

3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Toca Madera Scottsdale to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
