Reviews for Toca Madera in Los Angeles, CA
This is our spot for client meetings. Great place to entertain guests and enjoy great food. Make reservations in advance or else... you will not get seated. Food is good and they have a great selection of appetizers and cocktails. If you want more privacy askto be seated in the back. It will get crowded around the bar area and you will get a lot of foot traffic around your table. Read more
So, so good. The poke was the best I've ever had (even in Hawaii). The tacos are REALLY small but good. The calamari wasn't... great.... it was overcooked and way too salty and I didn't love the avocado/cilantro sauce with it. The drinks are good andinteresting presentation considering most of them are served lit on fire. The butter cake for dessert was the best thing I'veever eaten and so cute. It's even better than the Ocean Prime butter cake... and that's saying something! Read more
Had brunch here and it’s such a beautiful place inside. Super attentive staff and plenty of them so you’re never waiting... long for anything. Brunch portions were huge and margaritas were fresh and delicious. I love that you can make so many of thebrunch options vegan! I had the vegan enchiladas and they were delicious and super filling. They forgot the scrambled tofu atfirst but bought out a huge portion shortly after. Definitely a new fave and I’ll soon be back to try the dinnermenu! Parking around there on a Saturday wasn’t great so def arrive early for your reservation to do a few loops Read more
I stop by this restaurant on Saturday evening. This place is small.but beautiful inside. Parking next to the restaurant $16. Not... too many options in the menu I expected and very expensive. As soon as you sit the waitress will tell you that you have 1 hourand 30 minutes for the service, really? They are slow and I have to rush? Very disappointed. Still I enjoyed the atmosphere.

Fun ambiance in the true West Hollywood fashion! This place is hopping with young, spirited, and well-styled locals. A great... place if you are looking for an active & lively night out. Food was overall very tasty. Calamari was crispy with some spicypeppers slices, which I throughly enjoyed to add a kick. I ate the scallops, which were cooked very well and seasonedbeautifully. The only issue I had with the dish though is that it comes on a hot stone plate, and it made it difficult to eatsince the bottom of the scallops would char and stick to the bottom of the plate. My boyfriend ate the enchiladas, and heenjoyed them thoroughly. For the desserts, I would definitely recommend the sorbets. Their fresh & tangy melody was truly atreat. I've had wonderful tres leches cakes, and this one was a little dry. The frosting was more moist than the cake, not atrue tres leches cake in my opinion. Wait staff was okay, did not make any mistakes with the order, could have been a bit moreattentive though. I had to ask for water refills 5+ times. Pricing is a little high, but really you are paying for the ambiance& scene. I would suggest to get there in time for Happy Hour (5-6pm) to get a better deal on drinks. Overall, would recommendto try this place out, they have a special and unique interpretation on modern Mexican cuisine. Read more
I heard that Toca Madera had great vegan menu options, so I went for the brunch. I’m so happy I did, they had a great amount... of vegan options to choose from! I ordered the breakfast burrito with the vegan sausage and the vegan mozzarella. Didn’t evenknow it automatically came with black beans and cilantro lime rice on the side. The burrito was so good and HUGE! I gladly tookmy leftovers home. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their plant based options because everything looked sodelicious. Read more
I love the vibe here. I come here often when I’m looking for food quality food. The guacamole is delicious and very fresh... tasting and the steak was also really good. If you’re a fan of truffle get the mac & cheese and you have to get a margaritahere they’re delicious. Really any of the flavors are good but a lot of the waitresses and waiters know how to help you willask you if you like sweet or spicy and then they recommend some thing. The guy that I had was very helpful. But I’m also veryindecisive so I appreciated it. Parking is close by there is also valet next to it which makes it easy. Good place to also gohave a drink at the bar. Great restaurant for a group of friends. Read more
The food and drinks here are great but I’m not a huge fan of the layout of the restaurant or the vibe. Compared to the Toca in... Scottsdale this Toca is alright but doesn’t give the same luxurious feel. The steak and ceviche are a must. If you go forbrunch, definitely order the French toast. But I’ve had the same meal at the toca in Scottsdale and while this one was stillgood, I feel like the other tocas are better. Read more
