Tocaya Organica

Good food but service was a bit slow. It took 1-2 minutes to be helped, as staff were busy fulfilling food delivery orders. I placed an order at the counter around 3:30 for a torta combo (side + agua Fresca). Was able to substitute vegan cheese at no additional cost. Agua Fresca was served immediately (resembles kombucha in taste profile) which I enjoyed. The side I ordered, plantain chips + guacamole, was served in 18 minutes. I thought the portion of chips was fairly generous, and both chips and guacamole were light on the salt. Torta was served at 21 minutes. It was a bit smaller than I expected, but flavor was great and it was served with a bright salsa. I wouldn’t say the torta on its own was worth the price but the combo was worth it in my opinion. Upper balcony was closed when I visited, seats had outlets available. Atmosphere was bright and airy (lots of natural light) and good music. If you have some time to spare, I would definitely pay a visit.

We order catering for clients and twice they have fudged the order and take no responsibility for the driver's app they use to deliver food. Like, it never came and there was no way to track it down so we had to go in person and re-order. And now they have an online promo that doesn't work at checkout and they can't apply it for you over the phone. You have to go in person. Would not order from here if it wasn't for the client asking for "Mexican food" for delivery. The only thing that sets them apart is that it superficially looks better than your neighborhood taco shop.

Beautiful. Actual Healthy food, not just void of animal products. Service was A1, but you do have to ask! There were no attitudes, and my questions were answered thoroughly and enthusiastically. I inquired into the ingredients of the vegan chickn, the server gives me her Best guess, then goes to the back to get a more detailed & accurate answer. A second employee emerges with a huge book telling AND showing me Every single last ingredient: pea protein base btw. Even when I was satisfied with the answer, she continues giving me more details to answer my question 🥰🥰 I Love it here! LOVE is Everywhere. The first song playing when I entered was talking about Love. Veryy pleasant environment. The FOOD is good. Tastes like they could have a garden in the back somewhere 😭😭 Very clean environment. Decorations. Message. Everything taken care of. Will def have to return when I'm back in town!!

I am so happy to leave this glowing review! This is one of the most unique and delicious Mexican restaurants I have ever been to! Truly! I am so picky too! The entire staff went out of their way to give me my special requests. My goodness, I cannot wait to go here again!

The food is incredible, the restaurant is tastefully decorated. The guacamole with chips is among the best I have had. With a hint of lemon and the nutty and pomegranate flavour was a nice complement. Our favourite item were the Carne Asada tacos with blue corn. They were unreal. Healthy, fresh and flavourful food, what's not to love?

I was walking around and I saw this place, the food is delicious I tried the fajita bowl and the strawberry lemonade. Is a must try if you are in LA

I used to love this place - gf fried fish tacos and a bunch of other no gluten options, all labeled, was a huge plus. I would even pay a delivery fee since they aren't included in the Uber Eats pass - that's how worth it I thought it was, despite being super pricey for Mexican. However, lately, they have been hugely disappointing. They barely give any cheese on almost all of their items - sometimes they seem to forget it at all - and you can't put in any order notes or request extra. This is a GF quesadilla I got without any other fillings just to test it out to see if they would give a normal amount if nothing else was in it. Seriously, a joke, and $15! I also have noticed a lot of it arrives cold now and is always dry. Really sad. Probably won't be wasting my money here again. Update: tried one last time and the food was so disgusting. The GF fish tacos were good and relatively fresh, but the ceviche and everything else I got seemed like it had gone bad. The shrimp on the ceviche wasn't cleaned at all (see photo). The avocado on the salad was super brown snd the kale/lettuce was wilting (also pictured). Seriously gross and another waste of money. Save yourself and try a different location, at the very least!

Vegetarian doesn’t mean bland. This burrito with adobo tofu covering for chicken turned me into a tofu truther. Any meat option can be turned vegan or vegetarian. Cheaper than other nearby chains too.

Lunch at Tacaya with my work squad? Yes, please! We were lucky to snag a table for 10, although the staff didn't really help haha! Whether you're a vegan, or meat-lover, they got you covered here. Their food is fresh, flavorful, and fast enough for a 1-2 hour lunch break. We shared some starters - chip and salsa plus chips and queso. We were surprised to find out that their quesco is vegan and gluten-free. I had to do a double-take because it was that creamy and delicious. It was a crowd favorite, for sure! For my meal, I went with the Spicy Cilantro Vegan Chicken Bowl and it did not disappoint. The cilantro verde sauce made it bright and bold and the vegan chicken did not make me miss chicken at all. It's one of those meals that will make you feel light but energized - ideal for a midday lunch! For my drink, I got their Hibiscus Ginger Agua Fresca and it was perfectly balanced with hint of sweetness and a zing of finger, it was one of the best hibiscus drinks I ever had! Highly recommend grabbing one of those! I'm already planning my next visit - gotta have more of that Hibiscus Ginger Agua Fresca!

Food is great - when you can get it. I love the taco Tuesday deal from tocaya, but for some reason you can't order it online. I only have a 30 minute lunch so I need to call for pickup. These guys only answer about 20% of the time. Last time I went I expressed how hard it was to reach them, and today when I tried calling for 10 minutes, I got nothing. It doesn't ever seem super busy when I go to pick up my orders when they do take them, so I have no idea what's going on over there. I wish they were more responsive because the tacos are delish and so is the guacamole and you really can't beat their Tuesday special! Please answer the phones or put the taco Tuesday deal online :)

We ordered delivery. It was handled very well. The woman who was delivering knew the building well. She was able to go up and actually hand delivered it to my floor. The DTLA area is very confusing. 7TH and FIG to be exactly. She got the order to us quickly. All items were accounted for except the salsa that we paid for. It was a huge order, so for everything to be accounted for was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. My order was the non vegan taco set: $13.35 (ish before tax and fees) 2 Birria tacos on blue corn shell (did not have a choice on the shell) Street Corn as a side Strawberry Basil Agua Fresca (HUGE) like a whole soup togo container huge Chips and queso was good but cheese was watery Worth every single dime (company dime)! Overall I'm coming back again and again.

The food was delicious and well seasoned. I checked in to get the free chips and salsa and loved the tomato purée. The chips were fresh tasting and very crunchy. I did the happy hour and got the street corn veganized. It was very spicy and had an intense flavor. I really enjoyed the vegan mozzarella that was substituted. The service was friendly and personable and the staff was very nice and helpful. The ambiance was relaxing considering we were in bustling downtown LA.

It was a beautiful place with lovely service and vibe. The food was super yummy with amazing vegetarian options. Recommend it!

Not your regular taco stand. Definitely a more upscale, healthier, west-side feel of a taco place. Taco Tuesdays are priced well so if you want to try, Tuesdays would be better for your wallet. Had my order to-go and it definitely felt fancy as each taco was placed carefully in its own container. Tried a burrito and wasn't really my jam bc it didn't feel heavy enough, but that might be me and my expectation. Overall, it's a safe and healthy option. Will be revisiting.

Would recommend coming here during happy hour and especially on taco Tuesdays! Great prices and great quality of food and drinks!

This is my go-to spot to order from. The menu is solid for vegetarian or non, the food is flavorful and fresh. We normally get the tinga in either a torta, taco, or quesadilla. I've also tried some of the vegetarian options and they were pretty decent as well. The pricing seems fair to me overall

I frequent other tocaya locations. But this one is very odd lol. Came here a couple times and the last 2 times I came they state they close at 9 pm and we came at 8 pm and they are already closing down looking like they want to close early and head home. It felt awkward like we were being rushed when we were here an hour before they close. I checked on their website hours and they say they close at 9. But they have all the chairs up and blocked off this section at 8 pm and turned off the music all by 8 pm. So weird to me.

Came here with my coworker, who is plant based. Figured we'd have options for the both of us. I ordered the fajita chicken bowl and my coworker got a taco salad and some chips and guac. I ordered first but my food took longer to come out. They also didn't give me utensils so I couldn't eat right away. She told me she'd bring me some, but then got busy so I went up and got a fork myself. She came back a little later with a fork. The food was okay, it was really saucy and became mushy as I ate it. My coworker said her salad was okay. The best part was probably the chips and guac. Overall an okay place but nothing amazing or stand out.

Love the ambiance here!!! The service is great! Servers are all nice and I only had the churros since I was having a quick meet but yummy on the food! Great music too!

When you first walk into Tocaya the ambiance is chill and inviting. You are greeted with slots of greenery and spacious eating sections. We came with a work group of 6 people and we received our food quick. There are many vegan options, perfect for the vegetarians in our group. We had the Al pastor chicken tinga, tortilla soup, chicken fajita del Rey, quesaillitas, and the al pastor bowl with vegan chicken. Everyone was satisfied with the food. There are options to just sit and order straight from your table via QR code and bypass the traditional counter. If you work in Downtown LA, this is a good local you can walk to depending on your location.

I used to love Tocaya but the last few visits have been disappointing. The food just lacks so flavor. Service was ok.

The food- is delicious, I tried the birria taco for the first time and it is sooo good. The flavor and seasonings are on point. We normally get the turkey picante on butter lettuce tacos, they're light, especially if you're looking for healthy option. Great Service- Gabriella and Janet the managers are delightful, they treated us like family. Also the food comes out fast and warm. Ambiance- is just right for lunch and dinner. The music and lighting are great for date night. One of the better Tocaya locations, glad they have it in downtown!

Food was amazing! We got the quesadilla, chips and salsa, hibiscus agua fresca, and churro waffle bites. The staff was extremely accommodating. They put the quesadilla protein on the side at our request. Our friends got the gluten free burritos and they said the tortilla was the best they've tasted. They were impressed with how well the gluten free tortilla held form. Nice ambience. We had a few questions about the menu and Rosa was super helpful. Will be back!

I could truthfully eat Tocaya 7 days a week, the food is always incredible. Portion size is okay, but the quality is top notch. Great flavor and fresh food! Been coming here often for the past four years.

Fast service, customizable menu - love all the options for vegan and gluten free menu items! The food quality is amazing and fresh'

Amazing tacos!!! I tried the combo where you get three different kinds for about $8! I was especially impressed with the guacamole taco but all tasted wonderful! It was also nice that the restaurant was very quiet and quick in making the food.

I'm a regular at the DTLA location on Olive. My favorite entree lately has been the Grilled Pineapple Al Pastor Bowl with Adobo Tofu. I love the combination of flavors and nutritious aspects of the ingredients. I also enjoy their arbol salsa, which has just the right amount of heat and some incredible flavor. There are plenty of vegan options here! I also enjoy the agua frescas, especially cucumber lime. The staff are always very friendly and the service is quick so that I can get back to work on time. I'll continue to patronize this place!

One of my favorite spots to get some chips, guacamole, and asada burrito! Sometimes I opt for one their bowls but usually I stick with the burrito. I love this location because it's very close to where I stay and it has a lot of seating compared to other locations I've been too. It's also very clean. Service is always good here. With the servers being very accommodating and friendly

This place is so cute and stylish.... I just wish the food was as good as the decor. The grilled pineapple pastor bowl was alright. Chicken was very tough. I also didn't like the seasoning or marinade it had, it's not like traditional Al pastor flavor...Black beans had too much liquid. Pineapple included the tough core. Guac wasn't tasty. The only good part were the chips and the hibiscus agua fresca.

For one parking is horrible here I ordered a fajita del Rey bowl for myself with Diablo chicken which was dryyyyy I ordered the kids chicken quesadilla for my daughter the tortilla was dry and falling apart Ordered the "strips" for my toddler and they were dryyyyyy as heck The aguas were not good either too sour The tortilla chips for my salsa I ordered were not fresh The location in West Hollywood is worth the drive I've been to the dtla a total of 3 times and it disappoints every single time!

Tocaya is similar to an elevated version of Chipotle, with a wider range of flavors and options. The menu provided an array of choices that catered to different preferences and dietary restrictions. I enjoyed their decent margaritas, and they often have special deals on margaritas or other items, which is a nice bonus. The restaurant provides a casual and comfortable indoor seating area, perfect for a relaxed meal. What sets Tocaya apart is its combination of upscale fast food and bar drinks, making it a great spot for those who want a quick meal but with a touch of sophistication. Additionally, they offer takeout options for those on the go. If you're looking for a fast food experience with a bit of a bougie twist, Tocaya is definitely worth a visit.

Great option for healthier Mexican. Similar to chipotle but chipotle. Good bowls and burritos and overall Mexican. Good service and ambiance.

Tocaya has been my favorite go-to place for quality organic Mexican food. But the DTLA location is the best by far!! Every time I visit the staff is super friendly and makes my experience memorable. Rosa is the manager and she takes great care of me every time!! Highly recommended!

I love this Tocaya location. Rosa is extremely kind and helpful. The restaurant is very nice and has a great vibe. The food is delicious to top it off! 10/10 recommend!

The service is fantastic and the food is ready quick. They are always careful to place my Vegan items separate from non-vegan! The best. Rosa and the others know how to treat their guests!

Came in today without being decisive on what to eat, but luckily for me Rosa was there to help. Guided me with a great choice in a birria torta. I really appreciate her and her amazing customer service. Will be back soon. Thanks Rosa.

I've had the pleasure of dining in every time we're in LA. The food and service never disappoints. I will recommend this place, the ambience is great and the place is beautiful.

Trash!!! To say used to be darn good, not anymore. The ingredients have changed. The rice , the shrimp, the everything. Down the drain. No good. Not ordering from here anymore.

After my initial review, the business manager reached out(I appreciate that) and offered to send a gift card to me to try this location again. I did and glad I did. My tacos were bomb.com. I ordered 3 tacos and a passion fruit margarita. Tacos were really good especially the Mahi Mahi. The margarita not so much.

This place is delicious. Definitely a must try if you haven't! I was not disappointed with any of the food or drinks I ordered. I recommend trying the potato torta! savored every bite! And the service was the cherry on top! Thank you to Rosa and the cooks making this a great experience. I had a happy tummy, and happy energy

Came in to order dinner and a drink but was told margaritas aren't served an hour before close and was a little disappointed but proceeded to order, got a keto bowl. Bowl tasted great until it I found a literal piece of PLASTIC in it.. I usually love Tocaya but was pretty disappointed

Tocaya has my heart Los Angeles always has the best places for food. Especially for the plant based eaters. This isn't even a vegan restaurant but they have soooooo many options. You can order from your table or up at the register. The servers are extremely patient and helpful trying to figure the menu out because it gets a little overwhelming, in a good way. They have great items to choose from! So many tacos, they have quesadillas, salads, bowls, burritos, & more! Even the protein options are like 10 diff types! Their happy hour is a fun hour lol. You can get more for your buck and share with friends, ijs!! Their margaritas are also unique, I would recommend the tamarind or passion fruit(get the tajin!) For my vegan lovers, you have to get the vegan mozzarella queso. With any option (Taco, salad, etc) you choose your base, protein, then sauce. I liked the Tulum, Baja, & Cali tacos but you can't really go wrong with any of them. Inside seating is very earthy and they have a mini bar area as well. Go on a weekday it's not as crowded.

Walking in to Tocaya gives you a good feeling it's going to be good. There's a lot to order from and they sell vegan and regular food. The vegan options are highlighted in teal color. We ordered a little bit of everything. The last picture shows a separate occasion I dined there. The Fajita Bowls are delicious as well as the Tortilla soup. The quesadilla was super delicious! Wish I could have taken a better picture of it! The jalapeño drink with lime (green) is delicious! It's spicy but very refreshing. Also the strawberry drink was great! The plant based waffles with the agave is very tasty! Give it a try next time. In DTLA you always have to pay for parking unless you catch a free space in the street which is nearly impossible. However, there's a $9 parking lot down the street. Enjoy!

This was the first Tocaya I've been to. They have a bunch of different salads, bowls, and tacos on the menu. I got the cilantro verde bowl with diablo chicken. The chicken had a good spice to it which I liked. I wish I remembered to ask for brown rice since it came with white rice. It was a good portion, I didn't finish my bowl. The bowl also came with spinach, chickpeas, avocado, and cucumbers. We also got guacamole for the table which had pomegranate seeds in it.

Salmon Bowl is the best thing along with any taco on the menu. We are visiting from Tennessee and the this place is next level. The service is great and the margaritas (spicy) is awesome.

Started coming here around 2 months ago, service is top tier, everyone is inviting and friendly, the food is great, my favorite dish so far is the Salmon Bowl, its rich in flavor and tastes fresh, the vibe of the place itself is amazing, always clean and bright inside, makes you feel at home.

Just so good- vegan taco sampler is my jam. I could eat there daily. Guacamole and plantain chips rock. Margaritas are too sweet for me here. It's fast food, but good. Downtown is well decorated for a casual date.

Beautiful location. Shout out to the manager in the polo Gabriela and to the sweet kind hostess cashier at the front who helped me with my takeout order. We were coming from the hospital and needed real food that wouldn't cause inflammation. Tocaya and team you were a tremendous blessing!!! Not to mention we stumbled in on taco Tuesday Can't wait to come back and grab a seat.

i love me a nice chill spot to have a cold drink, especially in downtown la!! i stumbled upon tocaya as i was on my way back home. The customer service was phenomenal! The lovely lady that helped me out took such great care of me, her name is Natalie if you ever want that amazing service !! if you're ever in the area stop by and have a cold agua fresca! Thank you natalie for such an amazing experience

just yummmmm. food comes out quick which is a plus too. the salads look amazing can't wait to try

Excellent vegan options that stay true to modern Mexican cuisine! The staff is also super friendly, and Rosa makes everyone who comes in feel welcome and taken care of. Seriously, one of my favorite spots in DTLA!

Opting for vegan tacos, I was eager to explore the innovative twist this kitchen promises to bring to this Mexican classic taco dish to life with no meat added. While it was visually appealing with colorful array of fresh toppings that hinted at the vibrance of the flavors to come however upon first bite it became evident that the execution fell short of the mark. Vegan tacos, while commendable in their effort to cater to the plant-based palate were marred by an excuse of salt that overpower the delicate interplay of the ingredients

There's a handful of tocaya's throughout LA and this one is a convenient lunch spot for anyone who works in DTLA. They have their Tuesday $2 tacos and $5 margs here, which is always a great deal. My personal favorite is the pineapple bowl, and it's great to be able to customize every item with your choice of protein and cheese.

Food is alright but good for a quick, light meal. The tacos were a good deal- you get 2 tacos, a side (I got chips and salsa) and a choice of drink (agua fresca/beer/margarita?) I got the cucumber mint one and it was very refreshing. I think if you're looking for super authentic flavors, this isn't it, but it's decent.

One of my go to spots in DTLA, super convenient to home and the ambience is so relaxing. Love me some waffle churros and fajita burrito, they plantain chips and guacamole and the list goes on. Also Janet is the best

I ordered through Postmates today and the protein for the burrito I got was shrimp. There was literally only 3 shrimps and I paid $3.45 additionally for that meaning I paid $1.15 for each shrimp which is crazy. The burrito was mostly rice, barely any beans, guacamole, and veggies. Instead of the fajitas burrito they should change the name of it to rice burrito. Please reconsider when you order a shrimp burrito here. At least in the fajita bowl you get 4 or 5 shrimps. You're better off getting that to be honest.

Tocaya Update (09.18.2021) So... after an abysmal first try of Tocaya, I decided to give them another go which I am glad I did, I spoke to my office colleague who felt so bad about recommending them and told her I'm ready for round two and so through the magic of Uber eats, an order was placed. I ordered the same fajita burrito only this time I added extra protein (Diablo chicken) and also a side of plantains, my colleagues also ordered a bunch of goodies which racked up the bill to smithereens lol Anyway, the moment the food arrived, the first thing I did was inspect the burrito making sure that this time, I truly got what I ordered and not some generic seasoned rice roll ...and there it was, pilled with the rice was a generous amount of chicken (wheew, I wonder if they've been waiting for this moment to make up for the previous slip-up lol) The burrito tasted lovely with the well season chicken and sauce + the not so overwhelming hint of fajita seasoning! I was expecting smoke to come out of my ears with the addition of the diablo chicken but I guess it was tailored to be at medium heat level as though it was good, I wish I could say "that is one hot mother*..." but it's ok, it's still delish. The plantains was ok, it's a tad bland as it was unevenly salted but ate it anyway haha dipped in salsa it was a nice little tray of office munchies. Overall, I will say that Tocaya redeemed itself, I guess my first order was an unfortunate result of the staff not paying attention or in a hurry to prepare other orders which IMO in any work matters does not generate satisfactory results as the quality goes down the drain, I guess someone read my initial review and rectified the matter immediately. So thank you Tocaya for listening. Loved the burrito! Cheers!
