Tocaya

Yelper Melanie G., who reviewed Tocaya on April 25, wrote, "Wonderful healthy Mexican restaurant with plenty of options for carnivores, vegetarians, vegans and pescetarians! They really can accommodate most dietary restrictions. The guacamole is an absolute must — order to share as an appetizer with their plantain chips."

Yelper Vivian L. added, "The tacos were definitely good — small portions but quality ingredients nevertheless...I would definitely recommend the guacamole. It's very fresh and they top it off with pomegranate seeds for an added twist. You can choose between regular tortilla or plantain chips. The agua frescas are also made with natural sugars so it is not too sugary tasting."
