    Service was slow.. it was a Sunday night and but that busy. A little disappointed that our server did not do anything for our anniversary. The server nee it was our anniversary because we talked about it. The hostess was also aware and the reservation was made with it noted. Usually they’ll write something on the plate or something.. we ordered three desserts for the table and nothing was done.

    Visiting Scottsdale to see my very wealthy brother. First time at Toca with spouse for a date night. We’re early 40s. Reasonably successful. Simple summary. Way too loud. Bass from speakers can shake table. Can’t talk without yelling. Food pricing a la carte. Even flour tortillas. Nickel and dime everything. Drinks way too small for $20+ each. No value. Table for 2 very small. Food tasted fine but my $98 steak was also too small. Wife disliked her chicken. Very spicy. . We left hungry. Look. I get it. It’s Scottsdale. Our server was overly confident even though she charged us for someone else’s drinks and had to correct. All the young people wanting to be seen will go there but at $350 for two, sorry. No thanks. I’ll pick a place much less “hip” but more intimate and traditional. It’s my money, not my parents’. Scottsdale is too much for us. Even though we are perfectly able to Live here. Toca Madera is just one example of why we wouldn’t. If you like having an image, you’ll love your visit.

    I love Taca Madera. I went 2 years ago when visiting the area and knew I wanted to go back. The atmosphere is so beautiful and the food and service are fantastic. We went two nights in a row just to try some new things. The chips/salsa and drinks are reason enough to go. I always get the Mi Serrana which is their jalapeños margarita and my husband got the prickly pear margarita. Everything is just amazing. The dinner & desserts also are so tasty and the presentation always amazing.

    Everything that this restaurant made was a 10. The tortilla chips were light and amazing with no grease. The pico de gallo was fresh and yummy perfectly seasoned. The guacamole was perfect with not too much salt or extras. Our entrees fresh sea bass and the Mexican shrimp dish were both amazing. I’m a big fan of Toca Madera and is now my favorite Mexican Restaurant by a mile. Highly recommend!

    The food quality has gone down since last time I was here. I had sea bass tacos and they were very fishy. I don’t think I will be back. Chips were ok, tasted like they had just come out of a bag. The margaritas were marginal as well.

    The only bad vibe was the hostess. We had 2 reservations for 4 each table. I asked and wrote to see of we could be accommodated as a party of 8. In person it was a hard no. When we were called for seating the waiter asked us if we wanted to be seated together? He told us the stand by, put the tables together and made it happen. So the hostess gets 1 star. Everyone else especially our waitress deserves 5 stars.

    So happy we found an early dinner slot because we were visiting for a short vacation and from reviews we felt like this was a must stop! We were greeted by a very friendly hostess who made us feel very welcomed. From there on, our server Aiden helped create the perfect dining experience. He was a gentleman server and was very attentive. He helped me figure out what dishes could be made vegan and also great at the menu knowledge for food and drinks. The support staff there continued to make sure food was delivered, waters filled and just continuing the work ethic pride there. Also, my husband and I were celebrating our birthday weeks and a delicious vegan cake dessert was delivered with a fun sparkler candle. So so kind!!

    Went for my husband's birthday. The two positives were our server and the taste/quality of the food. This restaurant is crazy loud however! Like can't talk at the table loud. Ordered a bottle of Brunello. The wine steward was gone forever! Came to our table and told us he was out of the wine because they do so much business in wine. Had a bit of an attitude. We chose a Spanish wine instead and once again it took FOREVER to have the wine delivered to our table. We ordered dessert after our main course and finally had to cancel it because it never came!!! So much for my intentions of making the birthday a special night. Would not go back. For the number of people working they should be much more efficient.

    The meal was incredible. Food & service was top notch and surpassed expectations. It’s quite upscale in terms of menu/pricing and dress code, but still has a very fun, hip vibe (fire breathing dancer 😍🔥 was a nice touch!) There’s some Mexican dishes but we chose wagyu & prawn entrees which are served a la carte. The prawns were a bit spicy, but in the BEST of ways. Absolutely amazing flavor. My only complaint, which is really just a tip for anyone else or myself next time, is that they serve the wagyu on a hot stone so if you order it medium rare by the time it gets to the table and you start eating it, it’s medium and then still keeps cooking. So I’ll just know to ask if it’s served on a stone & if so, order it more rare to account for that.

    Everything was absolutely wonderful. We loved the food. We loved the ambiance. We loved the entertainment. We loved our waitress and the manager, Mike, coming over to introduce himself and chat. Unfortunately, the evening ended on a sour note that just left a bad feeling right as we were about to leave. One of your hostesses came over to our table just a few minutes after we had signed our check and were preparing to leave. She told us that we need to leave now because they have a VIP that they need to seat. If she had been more polite about her approach and simply observed that we were gathering our things to leave, it would’ve been fine. But to basically declare that we were NOT VIPs was an absolute insult. She needs to be re-trained on appropriate decorum and communication with paying customers - who should ALL be treated like VIPs. Would she have treated her “VIP” like that? No. It was absolutely insulting!

    The atmosphere is fantastic! The decor is amazing, and the food is a piece of art. However, our experience was a bit impacted by the wait, even tho we had a reservation. We did not get seated until 50 minutes after our reservation! Completely understand running a bit behind, and table might not be available at the time of your reservation. However, 50+ minutes is excessive. Especially, seeing people arriving after us and being seated before was not fun. Not sure I would go back!!

    Food was subpar for this type of dining experience, I expected very palatable cuisine esp after dining at the LA location. The los muertos drink was a great presentation however the young lady providing the presentation was lack luster with flat affect. Our waitress was very attentive but the hosts were rude and everything but welcoming. Will not return to this location.
