I had the Camerones Toloache, a garlic shrimp dish with many layers of flavor. Not spicy, but rather just a sparkle on the tongue (which is the level of spice I like). The coconut mojito was too delicious!

One shrimp dish was kind of bland tasting.
Otherwise everything was very good.
Our waiter was charming and exceptional.

Very good food quality. Great atmosphere. Friendly service.

The service is not great. We had a table of 6 and since gratuity is already added- well, our waiters were terrible. They forgot drinks, took forever to call over and never explained the food. We paid over $290 dollars for food that came out cold. I had to call the restaurant from my phone to literally call our waiter to the table. They forgot our high chair and do not have any coloring items or anything to keep small kids busy. Tried it once, probably not again. Some of the food items were good (steaks, shrimp, guacamole)

But the service!! Ugh!

Retirement lunch

We ate outside, a bit noisy d/t construction next door. But not intolerable. A great lunch w/ spare rib tacos, jicama salad, great guac and very nice salsa that had a pleasant punch to the heat. Service was very attentive, nicely paced, and friendly. Place got great yelp reviews which led us to it. Will gladly come back for again when in the neighborhood.

I miss their lunch specials but the food is still great!

The food was really good but our server was very rude and not attentive at all!

Tremendous food and service. Waiter was very accommodating, with a sense of humor. Food presentation inviting. Definitely will be back.

Our favorite before a show.

Very refreshing De La Casa cocktail. Asked the server for recommendations, and the Carne Asada was perfect. Dessert of Flan with caramel popcorn was a nice way to end the dinner. Service was very pleasant. Overall experience did not disappoint.

The place is overpriced for the meal that you receive. The portions are very small. Only thing we liked was the guacamole. If it wasn’t for that, I would have left starving. The servers were nice and courteous.

Food mediocre service not very good and music was too loud. Staff not helpful.

Second time here. Even better than the first time which still was 5 star experience. Best Mexican food in the area. Eating here again soon.

The service is as exceptional as the food! Go for the margaritas and fresh guacamole, stay for absolutely everything else. We will choose Toloache over every other restaurant in this city. And that’s saying something in NYC!

This was my 8th visit to Toloache and by far the worst. The service was terrible which is highly unusual. The menu has changed significantly with many of our favorite entrees and margaritas missing. I'm going to assume they were struggling to get back to normal after COVID and will give them another chance. This used to be my favorite Mexican restaurant in the city. I brought friends this time and was extremely disappointed.

Clearly the best Mexican food in NYC! I visit this location each time I visit the city! Amazing food and family friendly feel.

Excellent food and service and I really like the outdoor cabins, but very expensive for Mexican food. Not for poor folks like me.

We were seated outside in one of the private pandemic booths which was pleasant and safe but not really a place of "ambience"-thus the slightly reduced score. Indoors, there is 5-star ambience to be sure.
The margaritas were great-well balanced. Guacamole was a great appetizer-went with spicy but wasn't too spicy. The carne asada dinner is the bomb!
Great support and service all around.

Went to celebrate my daughter's bday. Delicious and authentic Mexican food, very attentive service and reasonable prices.

We were a party of 4 shared a great guac and chips appetizer and the seafood cocktail along with our drinks. All enjoyed their entrees.

Excellent service and food was delicious highly recommended

Slow to nonexistent service, felt like they were completely understaffed. Requests for refills of both food and drink items went unanswered.

Based on previous reviews ordered the churros for desert - despite the slow service during the meal. 25 minutes from order to delivery and they were not even hot or even warm when they arrived.

The 3 part Guacamole appetizer was excellent. The jicama/chicken salad was huge. Enough for 2 people

We had a great time—dined indoors for lunch. Had the chicken enchiladas, which as reviewed, were very good indeed. Plus, guacamole for the table and various other dishes. It was my daughter-in-law’s birthday and they presented a churros plate for the table complete with song and candle! So nice!

It was our first time visiting. When we walked in we were sat upstairs and there was only two other tables. It took a few minutes to get water and then the server disappeared. He came back probably around 15 minutes later and we ordered a special cocktail and guacamole. That came out fairly quickly but then we waiting for an hour to order our entree. We watched two tables who were sat after us eat and pay before we even ordered an entree. We were seated at 7pm and didn’t leave until 10 making us miss our trains home. The food is very overpriced (even considering it’s NYC) for the extremely small portion sizes. Ambiance was nice but the service needs some help!

Great experience - great food - they even turned down the music when we asked. Would definitely go again!

Nice staff, good food and drinks. Like the outdoor ‘cabins’

Always great
Friendly service
Talented chef

The food was very good and the service was absolutely excellent.
Would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Had everything!!!!! Every dish was absolutely amazing.

Really good food, friendly staff

First off, the food is amazing. Super legit Mexican, although the portions are quite small. Think of the dishes more like appetizers, and order a few things. It adds up to an amazing meal, and you’ll get to try multiple things. The service was great, despite the fact that they were operating on a skeleton staff, due to Covid. Atmosphere was fun. I will definitely go back.

Great menu choices and interesting flavors. The atmosphere is wonderful and the service was stringy

Great food. Smaller plates which we didn’t expect, but it was a nice surprise. Nice atmosphere and service was amazing and attentive. Would go back!

Terrible! For 8 pm reservation, we were finally seated at 8:20 even though upstairs tables were empty. Hostess was rude and made us feel as if she was obliging. Then we were told that booking was for only 5 and hence was trying to seat us on table of 4. Had to show him Open Table booking of 6 to get a bigger table. Even though we had specifically asked to be seated inside, they insisted that we sit outside in a small booth with temp at 88!!!
Never will recommend this place. There are far better and friendlier Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood. Please please avoid this egoistic attitude place.

It was a humiliating to go and sit at the table and decide the dinner and then server asking for an ID if i am above 18 to enjoy drinks. 😒 i showed my passport copy as well and i am 34 and still they didnt serve me an alcohol so i chose to leave. Very disappointing never heard about this logic.

Wonderful sangria and excellent shrimp tacos and enchiladas

Great food. Great ambience

The food and drinks were excellent, though the portions are small for the price. Also, a young girl came and sang for about ten minutes over the loud speaker at a very high volume and then went around to tables and asked for tips. While she had a nice voice, you could not hear any conversation over her and it felt intrusive.
