Tocaya Modern Mexican Los Angeles Reviews from The Last Year
Taco salad bomb.
Churro bites burnt. Service was ok. Better than downtown LA. The people here are actually happy to work there at least from the vibe I was getting. Highly recommend if you're looking for something heaaaaalthy.
Food 3 stars.
Service 4 stars. Ambiance 5 stars. I loved the ambiance. It was beautiful inside. Modern and chic. Clean and spacious. Service was average. Not overly friendly but not rude either. The food was a disappointment though. Chips were stale. Street corn was over-cooked, dry/dehydrated and flavorless. Don't recommend. Tacos were small. We've had much better birria and carne asada at a lot of other places. The bowls were ok. The salmon tacos were one bite-size piece per taco. Wish I'd taken a picture. Most of what was in the salmon tacos was rice. But they were the tastiest meal of the four we ordered. Best part was the cucumber mint limeade agua fresca.
I just ordered a fajita bowl from Tocaya.
It was delivered promptly and the bowl was delicious. However it's a much smaller portion than you receive in the restaurant and the Carne Asada i ordered as a protein was nowhere to be found.
The best Mexican food I've had in forever! the ingredients
The best Mexican food I've had in forever! the ingredients are fresh and the service so welcoming!!!
Mixed review for me.
My low rating is only about the grilled shrimp. The grilled shrimp had an incredibly strong offensive fish taste. It was highly alarming and very concerning. I've eaten shrimp for many years, so this was definitely a one-off. Luckily, I did not get sick. The tortilla soup was very good and scrumptious with all the toppings. My taco (minus fishy shrimp) was good. Margarita was good. Service staff were so nice and accommodating. Restaurant is beautiful and surprisingly spacious. I'm editing to add that I agree the music was too loud.
I ordered the 3 taco sampler and honestly I was still
I ordered the 3 taco sampler and honestly I was still pretty hungry afterwards-there was very little protein in it and more fancy toppings. The cashier couldn't hear me very well and kept thinking I was saying something else. My friend was pretty pissed that they didn't accept cash too...they do offer vegan options-but the portion size is small and the price is fairly high
Trash!!! To say used to be darn good, not anymore.
The ingredients have changed. The rice , the shrimp, the everything. Down the drain. No good. Not ordering from here anymore. Rip!
I visited Tocaya on a whim after a conference.
Being from LA and having tried authentic Mexican food in Mexico, my expectations were very low because Tocaya is known as a modern, hipster joint (that's what I was told). But I was pleasantly surprised! I had the salmon bowl and everything (rice, veggies, salmon) was well seasoned and flavorful. The restaurant itself was very open, bright, and clean. You order and pay at the counter, sit wherever you'd like, and the food is brought over to to your table. Easy-peasy. If I'm ever in the Hollywood area again, I would definitely stop by for a quick and easy meal!
Love this place for a quick bite.
Street parking or free parking behind the building. Reasonably priced and food is always in point. Fresh and delicious. Check in for a free chips and salsa. Free serve your self water dispenser. I got the verduas trio. A whole lunch for $11. Also, they have a pretty extensive menu. Lots of options. Ambiance is quite nice, very spacious place. Only thing lacking is a outdoor patio.
The food is AMAZING -- but the music is so loud, it is hard
The food is AMAZING -- but the music is so loud, it is hard to think. It is pretty impossible to have a conversation with a friend -- and definitely would not be a place to have a business lunch. It has been this way for years, which is why I felt compelled to write this review. My best bet is to order takeout -- because the music seems to be there to serve the staff and not the customers. I just got back from New York, and I am amazed how NY restaurants create an ambience where you can talk to your friends. Definitely not the case at this Sunset Blvd location for Tocaya.
Great Bowls
Tocaya is so cute inside and out and the food is great. It is modern Mexican and a lot of it is super healthy, but don't let that stop you, it is also fantastic. The service is nice and friendly. They are there for you and they get your order right. The place is always so clean. You can have it delivered or do take away or dine in. We like to to dine in. It is just a very relaxing place. Our favorite thing at Tocays is their bowls. I love the taco salad, which is gluten free and has achiote chicken, kale & romaine, avocado, grilled corn, roma tomatoes, black beans, cabbage, red onions, tajin tortilla strips, cilantro, queso oaxaca and a wonderful roasted poblano dressing. Their kale and quinoa is also super yummy with adobo tofu, organic baby kale (lots of it), quinoa salad, garbanzo beans, lime pepita seeds, lima beans, pico de gallo, sliced avocado (add more please), vegan chipotle jack & red wine vinaigrette. Their tacos and chips are also great. We like their salmon taco with charred tomatillo rice, lime crema, serrano frita salsa, and cilantro. Now the tacos are pretty small so you will want a few. Also try the tinga taco with chicken tinga, crispy fried onions, and lime pepita mole. This one is spicy so if you are not a fan of spice order something else. They also have super burritos. We just love this place.
Surprised my yelp community gave this place over 4 stars.
Beautiful ambiance. Friendly but kinda slow service. We were in the area and needed a quick bite so popped in. Not at all busy at 3 on a Sunday. Took about 15 min for them to make two to go burritos. Food is at best mediocre. Over $20 for a regular burrito and a kids beans burrito. If you're in a pinch, it's fine.
I was feeling vegany the day I visited, but when I got
I was feeling vegany the day I visited, but when I got there, the Yucatan salmon chop salad was calling to me instead. It looked like it was going to have a lot of varied veggies in there under the salmon (kale, romaine, squash, beans, corn, red cabbage, radish)... but honestly every bite was 90% romaine, which was disappointing, because the salmon itself was perfectly blackened, spiced, and cooked just barely past rare, the exact way I like it. Thus, the dressing that came with it was sorely needed, which made me have to choose between using it for its intended purpose or using it to dip my slightly burnt-tasting plantain chips in. I know this review sounds like a two star, but the salmon really was fantastic, and while I usually couldn't care less about ambience, this is perhaps the most comfortable restaurant I've ever plopped my butt down in, with cushy lounge chairs complete with pillows, music turned down to an unobtrusive level, and beautiful high ceilings. This area of 'Old Hollywood' always seems to look like this inside, and I'm getting spoiled lunching here.
Jonathan made recommendations that were incredibly good and
Jonathan made recommendations that were incredibly good and vegan by the way. Really enjoyed my food! Highly recommended!!!
They've gotten rid of the vegan picadillo wish was my go-to.
It's a shame! The food is still amazing but def avoid the vegan chik'n. The adobo tofu and maitake mushroom are great.
I had the Diablo chicken bowl.
It was tasty, not too much heat, but not great. Wish it had more chicken. My husband had a passion fruit margarita which was beautiful and fruity, but couldn't even get a hint of any alcohol.
I always loved Tocaya for its delicious food.
This was my first time visiting a location and dining in because it always been a delivery choice. Fresh ingredients, great execution, wonderful flavors and generous amounts. I love that they don't mess around about their transparency in their product, when say what it is and it is what it will be; something that is very difficult to find in restaurants now. They charge for what they provide so if your expectations goes with what you expect from a Taco truck do not go to Tocaya. It is a fast casual restaurant directing toward fine dining elements. The cocktail list and the wine selection is a refined touch. This location particularly is a great casual date night spot. The seating is sectioned really well. The music is in perfect volume and the playlist is well thought out. It is a beautiful space and extremely clean. Not a moment is left untouched or forgotten. Lastly the service! How delightful. Josh was so kind and gentle with us. Answered our questions (I am sure he hears 100+ time a day) with so much patience and grace. His presence and team who execute food/packing in the back made this visit a wonderful one. Thank you Tocaya and keep Josh around because he truly care. I manage restaurants myself and I can tell when an establishment has gem of employees. Sunset location has that. Bravo! will be back again soon.
The price point makes zero sense for this place.
None of these bowls should be over $10, $12 tops with protein. What gap does this place fill that whole foods hot bar doesn't? and for less! I had nothing but optimism for this place. Great ambiance, the service was friendly and quick, and the food was decently good with a few stand out items but the value is just not quite right. Love the concept of a "healthy" chipotle model but for the price and what you get, you may as well save some coin and go to chipotle and just cut back on the cheese. You're getting your average bowl for $18-$25 if you care about adding meat or most items that make these bowls more substantial. I got the spicy cilantro verde bowl with chicken and spanish rice. The spanish rice tasted like it only did duo lingo for a month. And the queso? If you want soupy watery fake melted cheese by all means. If anything this place is serving up airplane food with a better personality. The dishes lack flavor and everything tastes so healthy that it's borderline artificial. There are a few standout stars however. Their homemade chips were absolutely delicious, great drinks at a good price for HH, and they have a dessert order of churros that were possibly life changing. I'll be coming back for these items alone and the caramel sauce that comes with the churros? I'd buy a gallon of. If you're vegan or vegetarian I could see this place being a great option but otherwise you're honestly better off hitting chipotle or even a taco truck/stand to get the same thing for way cheaper and more flavor.
VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!! They stopped serving vegan

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
