The drinks here are succulent. Try the Toloache Margarita and Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita ! The Chicken Enchiladas taste like beef , but they're not.. Insanely delicious. Also loved Fish Tacos !

The Corcoran Group

Everything here is amazing, especially the black truffle quesadilla , guacamole trio , and the carne asada tacos . Wash it all down with a delicious margarita , and you've got the perfect Mexican meal.

Ting

The taste is why this place is pricier than your usual Mexican fare. Both vegetarian paella de quinoa and Costilla de Res (braised beef short rib in molé sauce ) were very good. Guacamole yums too!

Polina Weitz

An upscale Mexican spot in the middle of the theater district. Margaritas were strong and the guac was delicious. The ceviche dishes were great as well (loved the tuna tiradito and the tuna taquitos )

PureWow

If you like your margaritas tart and sour, the sweet Hibiscus margarita , a refreshing treat made with real hibiscus flowers probably isn’t for you. (You probably hate ice cream and puppies, too.) Read more

Hector

Guacamole trio is essential. Toloache margarita is the way to start. Get two orders of tacos , and try the shrimp ! If you're really hungry, carne asada entry is for you. Excellent service

Stanley Conrad

The tortillas are nice but FAR too thin for a single to be used on a taco , especially if yours are delivered. Get a side order of tortillas as well so you can double them up.

Sam S

You have to order all three of the guacamoles . You will eat them all and not regret it. Be sure to get the truffle quesadilla . Very, very good.

eric bornemann

Surprisingly good Mexican restaurant in the Theater District. Nice for snacks and a strong margarita before seeing questionable theater .

Ricky Hussmann

Seriously fantastic. The foursquare special is the bomb. The food may be a smidge pricey , but it's fantastic. The guacs are awesome, but chipotle is the best. Great experience.

Chris Evans

Really incredible Mexican fare, make sure to try the pomegranate guacamole . The truffle and corn quesadilla is delicious, but definitely a starter size and not a main. Grab a frozen marg too!

Mike Friedlich

Outstanding place. Tacos were unbelievable (lobster & brisket the best but shrimp & fish were also amazing). Spicy guac w/chips was fantastic as was margarita . Great service & atmosphere.

Heather Rodriguez

Lobster tacos , pig carnitas were outstanding. Guac is great and the truffle quesadilla is outstanding. Guy next to us had the pulled pork sandwich with skinny fries and that looked delicious too.

Daniel Jenkins

Tacos are amazing as well as the guacamole . Tequila shots are a bit pricy . High end Central American food . Excellent place for a small group.

Bruce Willis

We had a reservation , waited maybe 5-6 minutes to get ready our table. Ordered Guacamole , Tacos Carne Asada and steak Carne Asada . Everything was absolutely delicious. Service was good and kind.Thanks

Lynn Bednar-Rando

Short rib and marrow quesadilla , chicken Toloache, paella , skirt steak and the crepes dessert all worthy of a try...great cappuccino

Laura Yeh

Best fish tacos ever. I also loved the salsa . Probably best salsa Bar have had. The chocolate crunch cake was also delicious. Loved the chocolate pop rocks on it.

Andrew Custer

Carnitas tacos are killer. Extensive mezcal list with accurate flavor descriptions. Solid skirt steak . This place is the real deal.

James Kiernan

Lobster or the Thai basil short rib tacos . Both tasty AF! Ask for the house hot sauce for extra burn.

I M

Delicious tacos , full flavored & generously portioned brunch meals, capable cocktails , good tequila selection . Spacious interior . My go-to Mexican joint above 23rd St and family-friendly.

Joel

Good! The Rojo Guac might be the best I've ever had. And the fried Brussels sprouts blew my socks off. Service good but food took longer than our neighbors, wish we were offered another drink.

Sanjyot

If there's a thing called Mexican food haven it's Toloache! Avocado fries , cactus fries , spicy guac and ALL the cocktails PLUS desserts !!! Crazy amazing. Best in NYC

Asli S

Overpriced, but the black truffle quesadilla was delicious. Potatoes accompanying my carne asada were really good too. Interesting dessert options . They bring chips & guac to start.

Ebrahim Bandookwala

That Grasshopper Taco at We just don't understand how this crunchy little thing drenched in savory spices is just so darn good! And, besides the immediate shock value, you cannot stop eating them.

JenKudu

The tacos are tiny, but DELICIOUS!!! It doesn't matter what kind, as they are all good. We did a sampling. This holds my heart for favorite tiny tacos during all my travels.

Nicole Checo

Everything here was delicious. From the drinks to food. Delicious but tiny tiny portions. truffle quesadilla and lechon tacos are out of this world.

Marinna Dudas

Order the guacamole trio for the table and share along with the truffle quesadillas , short rib quesadillas , chicken tacos , brisket tacos and shrimp tacos - all are absolutely delicious!

Chris Pollone

Try guac , camarones toloache, carne asada & the mescal cocktails . It's more mellow & smokier than tequila . One drawback: hostess spent 10+ minutes looking for our coats then asked for a tip! Huh?

Morris Terzi

Kosher Version -Quacamole rojo Spicy , Quesdilla de huttilacochy truffle ,ensalata de jicama, avocado fries , paella de Quinoa , Bacalao Trufado (black cod ) jalapeños margarita

Mark G

So, we went for dinner last night and had THE BEST Mexican fried brussel sprouts ever. Yest, you read that right. Mexican brussel sprouts . Incredible.

Daniel Chvatik

Amazing high-end Mexican food ! This is not your average taco shop , think truffle , grasshoppers and a great assortment of Tequilas and Mescals .

Luis Argueta

Amazing Mexican food and great service! The place gets very busy so always reserve a table in advance

citizenM

The menu offers three types of guacamole : mild, medium with pomegranate seeds and mango , and spicy for the more daring patrons. Read more

Dan Fleischer

Food is solid. Comes fast, good for the theater crowd. Fish slightly overcooked and sauce similar to the salsa . premium margarita tasted like mix. for an amazing Mexican dinner I’m not coming here.

Nancy Hitchcock

The guacamole , and skinny margarita were great. The lobster taco and black truffle quesadilla were fantastic! Don't miss the corn on the cob. Yum!!!

Monica Jones

Cucumber jalepeno margarita is spicy , refreshing and delicious all at once. A gem of a pre-theater dinner , or just a break from the craziness of Times Square

Halstead Property

The blending of divine buttered lobster , thickly cut avocado , and a spice from morita salsa gives the Langosta Tacos a unique pungency that leaves us ordering seconds.

Gothamist

This upscale chainlet has three locations, where you can feast on braised-brisket suadero tacos , spicy lobster langosta tacos and chapulines, made with dried grasshopper. Read more

Sandra Szilasi

Extra-friendly service, delicious food (my fav was the hamachi ceviche ) and fabulous "mezcalitas". The 8yo's review "Excellente! I loved the pork . Gracias!"

Brittany Folds

The Del Maestro margarita is amazing. I had the Langosta tacos and they some of the best tacos I've ever had, sweet and rich.

Daniel Boulud

Toloache has my favorite Mexican food in the city . I love the tacos and margaritas . End the night with a shot of Mezcal !

Dana Wong

Great atmosphere! Large selection of AH-MAZING food! Out of this world margaritas . Exceptional service. Highly recommended. You just added another repeated satisfied patron.

Kingsley Younger

Featured on Unique Eats. Their food seems to be mostly refined Mexican. They have an item on the menu that is the smoked toasted grasshopper tacos . The food there looks amazing.

Chris

Make a reservation to make sure you get a spot because you don't wanna miss out on this food - amazing

Jason Newberg

Please don't pass on the Ceviche ...Atun and the hamachi one are amazing!! Guacamole is good as well . Service is top notch!
