Reviews for Tocaya Modern Mexican in Playa Vista, CA
Street corn bowl with beef chorizo and strawberry basil water.. to die for
Phenomenal Mexican food with many vegan options clearly marked. The food totally hit the spot. Especially the house-made queso... (OMG!!) and the aquas frescos. Their jalapeno flour tortilla was absolutely worth it - all flavour and very mild spice. Theservice was great too. Friendly staff and helpful. Nice ambience with options to sit in or outside.

I typically hit this for $2 taco Tuesday. It can't be beat. Easy street parking and they do validate for garage parking. ... Outdoor seating with heat lamps is great. Read more
Very good food that is all organic. But be warned that the spicy food is spicy. Not too hot but compared to most chain... restaurants it is spicier. Also they have a good selection of options to build your own custom salad or healthy food bowl. Wewill definitely be back for more that is for sure! Read more
Ordered via Uber Eats. Not really impressed. The Barrio beef chorizo taco was tasty. But the Barrio Carne asada taco was very... disappointing. For it to be a premium taco at $5, it was supposed to be way better than the beef chorizo one. The Carne asadawas dry with. Absolutely no flavor. I've had taco trucks Carne asada that taste better. But i did note the quality of the meatwas premium cut. The street corn was very good and had a kick to it. The chicken soup was OK. There was not enough flavor in thebroth. The chicken and corn in the soup should not flavor the broth. The most disappointing item was the guacamole. It was about$5. It was just a scoop. So the size of the guacamole compared to the amount of chips... along with the lack of flavor in theguacamole, not worth it. It tasted as if they scooped the guacamole and sprinkled lemon juice and salt on top. Chipotleguacamole tastes better. They were creative with it by adding pomegranate seeds on top. Presentation was good. Would I go back,probably for the plantain chips... so so good. Read more
Such great, fresh food! Nice outdoor patio space. Great margaritas. We had the fajita bowl with chicken tinga (awesome!) and the... keto bowl with carne asada (also awesome!). And the passionfruit margaritas, so good. It?s also not overpriced, so that?s abonus. All around great experience. Read more
Great place with amazing food - always love finding places that make vegan friendly dishes and this spot definitely has great... options! A little on the expensive side, but worth the money. Fresh flavors and ingredients with a great variety of options. Iusually get the bowls or tacos, so if you don?t know where to start I?d recommend those. Read more
We had the worst experience tonight which is typically not the case here. Waited in-line for 10 minutes to place an order... because there was only one person taking orders. We then waited close to 20 minutes for our food. Only one order came out, theother one came 5 minutes later minus 2 of the items and with cold tacos. We had to ask two workers to help us and they stillgot it wrong. What a disappointing "Taco Tuesday". Read more
