About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
Welcome to Toloache (pronounced toh-lo-AH-tchay), chef-owner Julian Medina’s contemporary Mexican bistro located in the heart of the Theater District. Toloache is named after a flowering plant famed in Mexico for its use in love potions. We hope that when you dine with us you too will fall under the spell of chef Medina’s creative cooking, which incorporates seasonal and natural ingredients and more than a dozen types of chilies. Our festive, two-story space features a guacamole and ceviche bar, a wood-burning oven, and an exceptional tequila list, along with elegant decorative elements imported from Mexico. We looking forward to seeing you soon.

    Excellent food- loved everything we ordered. I wish there had been an n/a beer or mocktail available to complement the food.

    The food was great but it seemed like our server was overworked. It was very busy (for a Sunday night). Our server never bothered to check on us after serving our meals to see if everything was ok. Fortunately as I said, the food was outstanding. However we had to hunt for him to get drink refills, then it took forever to get the check. I would definitely go back, because the food really was phenomenal and I would hope the lackluster service was a one off. Other than that the staff, including our server, was very friendly and accommodating.
