Tocaya Organica Santa Monica

Tocoya was absolutely wonderful! I got the vegan chicken and their jalapeno queso. It was a delicious combo in the fajita burrito. Service was also excellent and polite, particularly when one of my companions had to send her order back because she hadn 't understood the menu. That does bring me to the point that the line 'Chef Recommends ' for the meal additions is less a recommendation and more a default option. If you order something and don 't specify what you want on it (even if you don 't actually want anything added to it), the Chef Recommends option will be added by default. Be sure to specify that you either don 't want anything added or that you want something specific included if you aren 't good with what the chef recommends for the meal.

All around amazing experience here! I ordered the Cali tacos with chicken and let me tell you the heat was worth it. Drinks were delicious and service was attentive and friendly. Juan gave exceptional service, definitely going ti be stopping here next time I'm in the area!

Upscale modern Mexican food. I got the street corn bowl with chicken which was delicious. My friend got the bean bowl with avocado. We got the margarita which was extremely strong if you like that kind of thing. It has a weird almost smoky after taste. The strawberry basil juice was really refreshing and you can get free refills also. Try both of the Sriracha’s as well. Spicy but tasty. I would 100% recommend this place. The staff are also very friendly!

I love tocaya! Everyone is so accepting and eager to help and the food is amazing! Juan was helping me during my visit and he walked me through the menu, was very patient, and even gave me some of his recommendations.

The vegan tacos were outstanding (and all of their tacos can be made vegan), and the nachos were delightful too. We visited on Taco Tuesday, so they were incredibly affordable at just $2 each.
