Toloache Restaurant

Be aware of the managers having personal motives disguised as hospitality.

we visited the restaurant yesterday and received the worst service ever in new york. The waitress was very rude and service very slow. When we walked away the manager did apologize for the behavior of the waitress.

Selected our lunch from the Summer Restaurant Week menu. We had the ceviche de pescado (flounder) and tacos de cochinita (braised pork, it was really good) and the guac trio. We were nearly full by the time we were done with the

The guac was less than average, not prepared fresh...and i wonder exactly when it was prepared? The red creamy sauce served with the guac was the highlight!\r
\r
No fresh salsa and chips when you sit down, either. The only chips we got

Pros: The margaritas are strong

Cons: tacos and guac not up to snuff, imho

This place is amazing. \r
Delicious & Gourmet tasting Mexican food. \r
You can taste the passion that goes into making the drinks & dishes here! \r
Super friendly staff! \r
It's in a great location! \r
You must try their "Frutas Guacamole"

Pros: Great Food, Great Service & Great Tequila Selection

Cons: That I can't eat here everyday!

Always a favorite. The food is brilliant and the service warm and kind. The Shrimp Tacos are fantastic and the hongos truffle quesadilla is ridiculous. The management always welcoming and my favorite server Sylvia is the sweetest. Warm and

Pros: Service, Food, Decor....

I'm a Gringo born and raised in Brooklyn. LOL I love food and living in New York where you can find so many cultures the best food will always stand out. Good food etches itself in my brain. I will quote myself after eating at Toloache "I

Pros: THE FOOD!!!!!! What else silly.

Cons: zero

This place is an absolute rip off. The food is just okay, which is a lot better than most Mexican in NYC I will admit. But the prices are absurd. They charge four bucks for chips and salsa. I would boycott on that basis alone. Stay

Pros: Food is okay which is saying a lot for NYC Mexican food

Cons: Price, portion size

A lively place with a friendly staff and a great atmosphere. No complaints about the food only the size of the servings. Don't be so stingy!

Pros: great food

Cons: small portions

We were touched by the very warm, friendly service. The food is great (try the spicy red guacamole) and the frozen Margaritas are the best in town. This is our new favorite in the Theater District.

Pros: Delicious food, charming service

Cons: Can be crowded at cocktail hour

At last, a good, cheerful restaurant/bar in the Theater District. Good, imaginative food and charming service. First-rate margaritas, good Mexican beer and a reasonable wine list (though wine isn't really ideal with Mexican food).
Highly

Pros: Excellent, Imaginate Food, Pleasant Service

Cons: Noisy, Can be Crowded

The trio of guacamole is unbelievable!! Pomegranate in your guacamole???!! who would have thought!! I couldn't get enough of it. The blueberry margarita was delicioso! It was so rich, packed with antioxidants you didn't feel guilty

Pros: Drinks, Guacamole

Cons: small, pricey

went last yr, great time...

the tequila selection was excellent.

got in right away, good service.

very accessible, in midtown.

am i at 100 chars yet? sheesh...

I need to test this website to see how it works, please don't worry about my review, testing testing testing

Pros: test

Cons: test2

Love this place! It's cozy & fun and not TOO loud and right in the Theater District. The Margarita menu will get you right into the spirit with an interesting selection you'll want to try. Same goes for the custom made guacamole, a must.

Pros: fresh food, innovative selections, good for small tasting or full meal

This is the place I can take family and friends to and know they will be duely impressed! Lobster tacos, guacamole made to order(including a unique "fruit" guacamole that is lovely), tasty sangria, and the creamiest flan I've ever had! The

Had their lunch special and it was great. Can't wait to go back to NY. Check out the happy hour specials too.

Pros: Example: best croissants in town

Cons: What are the drawbacks?

This "wannabe" Nuevo Latino restaurant's service and food don't match the price and quality. My friend's brick oven-roasted shredded suckling pig was nasty tasting (like wild game)--I couldn't stomach more than one bite and I love pork.

Pros: Location

Cons: Overpriced

My boyfriend and I frequently go here and always have a lovely experience. We LOVE the waitress Sylvia who must be the sweetest and nicest server I have ever had. We went there recently later in the evening and ended up being the only

Pros: Service, Quality of food, location, decor, drinks

Cons: I wish it were open later...

I've eaten at Toloache 3 times and I really like the food. The chef takes traditional Mexican flavors/ foods (such as tamarind, lime, barbacoa) and combines them in fresh new ways. This goes way beyond the usual Tex-Mex. Normally I hate

Pros: Great nuevo-Mexicano food

Cons: Tables are too close together

This is a good lunch spot since it's right next door to the office, but having recently relocated here from LA I have to say it's a little sad that the "nice" Mexican place is really not all that great compared to the lower end places back

Pros: speedy service, lots of guacamole

Cons: a little unimaginative

I am not a huge fan of Mexican food but Toloache changed my mind. After sitting down and browsing the menu, I was instantly attracted to the lobster tacos. As I waited for my meal, they brought out a trio of guacamoles with chips. I dug

My friends and I ventured to this little Mexican spot for a pre show dinner at about 5:30. We started out with sangrias (recommend red>>white) which were phenomenal. We were excited about the guac bar only to be mildly disappointed. The

Pros: Sangria

Cons: Portion size, service

A friend and I walked in - sans reservation - after a show. Both of us were starving so I think we ordered a little of everything on the menu. The creations from this kitchen are delectable. Succulent, savory and sweet, and so full of

Pros: Food so good Moses would have left the Promised Land for a bite.

Cons: I didn't get to taste everything.

I made reservations at Toloache after reading cuozzo's review of mexican restaurants in the post. The food really is unlike any Mexican I've had before - the flavors are familiar but presented in a beautiful and unexpected style. I would

Have to agree with aplv review from 5/31/08. Was in NYC this past week, and decided to go there for lunch with my daughter on the day of returning to home. Our hotel was right across the street, and we passed this restaurant every day, and

Cons: overpriced, poor service, no chips and salsa with meals

Been there twice. Had terrific meals both times. A friend who works nearby orders take out all the time and likes the food very much. Not sure why some have posted bad reviews and complained about the service... my two experiences were

I stopped into Toloache with my boyfriend over the weekend after hearing some friends rave about it and boy were they right! The food was so flavorful, so intense. The guacamole can't even be described. I guess the best word is fresh.

Wow!! The food was absolutely amazing and the authenticity of the menu is obvious just by looking at the ingredients. I've never had better tacos in NYC. I definitely recommend the micheladas as well. I can't wait to go back.

stopped by the other night to check it out. was amazed by the tasty and beautifully presented modern mexican fare..The steak ceviche was full of flavor and texture and the tequila list is ridiculous..In a neighborhood full of mediocre

My husband and I are residents of NY. We only stopped here because we got out of a show very hungry on a rainy Saturday night. The decor is good and inviting so we entered. The drinks tasted good but had very little alcohol in them. The

Pros: Decor

Cons: Food - Quality, Quantity, Price, Agressive & pushy waiters

I haven't been to the place itself, but I was at this fundraiser recently and the owner/chef along with his kitchen staff were so friendly. The food was delicious - I was standing by the kitchen area the whole time and the waiters offered

I went there for dinner with my boyfriend about one hour before they close. This place looked very nice but not as cozy as we expected. We didn't even have a time to open the menu when a server without even saying hello, ostentatiously

Pros: food

Cons: service

I was there last weekend with my friends and i liked it very much.Delicious food and authentic ambiamce.Recommended.

My husband and I visited this restaurant after reading the reviews on citysearch, we were so hopeful and excited about all the great food in New York! \r
Unfortunately (for us) the food was bland, We were disappointed to say the least! I

Pros: In the heart of Times Square

Cons: Sadly... the food.

I have now been to Toloache 2 times and waited until my second visit to pass judgement, but in the end I have to say that I think it is a fantastic restauraunt. my first visit I sat alone at the ceviche bar but was pleasantly surprised

Pros: food

Cons: any?

we absolutely loved this place. the food, the drinks and the atmosphere were all great. the service was outstanding. we highly recommend the yellowtail cerviche and the suckling pork. both dishes brought such unique and new flavor to

Pros: service, atmosphere

Cons: walking down the stairs after a few delicious mango mojitos

Very nice place with prompt seating; however, it had much more of a cafeteria feel to it than the romantic setting I was expecting. Food was good, particularly quail eggs, though portions were small. Both of us got sick off the margarita

Pros: Unique entrees, very prompt seating, great guacamole!

Cons: Price, drinks

The restaurant has 2 floors with bar on the first floor. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The food is very good and the drinks are yummy!!

Pros: Great food and service

Toloache is my new favorite mexican restaurant! A friend of mine invited me to dinner at her new find and from the moment I entered, I was in love. The staff was so nice and plesent. We arrived early so we had some drinks at the bar

Pros: Amazing Food and Drinks, Wonderful decor and staff

We live and work in the neighborhood and have been to this restaurant several times, but we are never going back after a recent experience. The waitress, after taking our check (and over 30% tip) from the table, told us rather snootily

Pros: Good margaritas

Cons: Extremely rude staff

i was excited to see a new mexican place near my office,so we tried this place for lunch. the lunch menu is very expensive, and the portions were teeny tiny!! and i just hate places that try to upsell- we were asked if we wanted the

Pros: the location

Cons: everything- bad food, expensive, very small portions, food was not fresh

Very disappointed. Went there for lunch. Avocados used in the guacamole were not fresh. Guacamole was brown & tasted spoiled, we sent it back (which I don't usually do). I had the chicken tacos - very salty & too saucy - I couldn't

Pros: The decor & interior of restaurant

Cons: Food

We have been twice and love this place. We tried the Atun and the Salmon "Panzon" ceviche. Both were great. We've had the quesadilla with black truffle which had me craving more days later. The carne asada was cooked great and very

Pros: fresh food, good flavors, margs, variety of menu, nice ambience

Cons: service could be a BIT better (kinda slow)

There has been some questiony about the authenticity of some of the reviews that appear before this one (see Eater dot com) and I have to concur that they probably were written by the restaurant?s ownership.\r
\r
But I don?t understand why

Pros: Great food, good service

Cons: Room is a little loud, small bar area, located in theater district

I ate at this new restaurant ( I understand it's only been open two weeks or so) with some friends on a recent Friday night. I have not stopped raving about this meal since!\r
\r
We started off with drinks from the extensive cocktail

Pros: Attentive Service, Creative Menu, Delicious Food

Wow! That's all I can say after a visit to Toloache. Went there on a weekend visit to NY from LA, where great Mexican restaurants are a dime a dozen, and I can honestly say that this is the best Mexican food I've had! The ceviche was

Pros: Everything

Cons: nothing

Brand new place across from my apartment. We were so excited because there's not much around. Even though it is pricer than most of the Mexican places around, it's worth it. Have tried and enjoyed the tuna, shrimp and beef ceviche, the

Pros: tacos, ambiance, margaritas
