   Fathers Day dinner and everyone loved it. The BlackBerry Margarita special was delicious, and the guacamole is easily the best in the city.

   We’re in NYC for a holiday, sampling all the best restaurants, this was easily the best meal. Get the truffled manchego quesadilla. Perfection meal.

    The guacamole and salsa dip with chips was so incredible I bought more to bring home. Fish tacos were incredible as well and a spicy margarita was the perfect addition. All delicious and served perfectly! Thank you, we’ll be back!

    Dear to our hearts but this time left a sour note as we were told three times by a waiter who lost interest on us very quickly, that this was the last call for kitchen, drinks and dessert. Then basically told us we had to leave, even though we were way within the restaurant closing time. We were not even invited to go to the bar for them start getting the place ready for closing. The worse part was the attitude of Karina, the hostess, who became rather aggressive and instead of trying to make us happy clients, kept on saying we needed to write a letter to the people who live above, while we were dining inside and not being loud at all. We would have understood if we had been sitting outside. Not a nice scene when you have guest form oversees…. Karina needs to work on customer service treatment….

    We have been here several times but the service has steadily declined. The entrees are overpriced but we came back because the guac and margaritas were good. However, the service has gotten to be so poor that we will not be back.

    We, of course, went here for Cinco de Mayo!! So fun and festive. The food is always absolutely delicious and authentic. By now I think I’ve had everything on the menu. Never had a less than perfect meal at Toloache. The manager Dan is a big reason why this place is a local hotspot. He is always going 100 miles an hour but has time to greet you by name and feel utterly welcome. He has the keen ability to keep everyone happy and laughing……even if there is a long wait for a table because you forgot to make a reservation.

    Toloache We have now been to both locations several times (West 50th and East 82nd ) and the menu and food are similarly very, VERY good. We do, however, prefer the cozy, family vibe at the UES location. The three guacamoles with crudités is a winning starter. The chicken Toloache and shrimp entree are both very good, tasty, fresh and well prepared. While there are many gluten free options, the non-mushroom vegetarian entrees are quite limited, and we wish the vegetarian burrito style entree was back on the menu. The drinks are solid. The service is accommodating and attentive (even on Cinco de Mayo when the UES location was packed beyond comprehension, the staff remained composed, attentive and warm…. showing grace under pressure.) Dinner at Toloache always is a fun and really enjoyable experience with its upbeat vibe, festive atmosphere, accommodating service and yummy food. It’s become a go-to dining spot!

    I wanted to treat myself for Cinque de Mayo, so I went for lunch. I started with a hand shake Marguerita- tasty but $16 seems high for a cocktail. I tried the yellowtail cervache, which the waiter recommended, and it was good. Fish was fresh, but I didn't really like the hot sauce they put on it. The fried piece of avocado was a nice touch, as were the tiny pieces of cucumber- yum. Then I had the beef tacos- they were very good, but only two....so while it was enjoyable, not a lot of food for $55...plus a $10 tip...very pricey for Mexican food I can make at home. But enjoyable, and the place was packed, so I think it's a beloved place to enjoy a fine Mexican meal.
