   Toca Madera is a beautiful restaurant, but if you are looking for a really good food this isn’t the place.

   Valet service only, Having a reservation and still having to wait 40 mins makes absolutely no sense. Automatic 20% gratuity on a party of 4 was crazy as well. Alcoholic drinks tasted like juice. The server was attentive and the food was good so no complaints there.

   The venue is beautiful. A whole vibe. Pricing is way off for the amount of food you receive. And it wasn’t that good. I had high hopes 🥺 for such a pretty place

   Our waiters was so out of it. She forgot our appetizer. Not focus on her job.

   The drinks were amazing, I would add this to my happy hour list. Unfortunately, the food was less than amazing. It lacked flavor and was rather salty.

   I’ve visited every Toca Madera locations and I’ve never had to wait 1 hour past my reservation time just to be seated. I spent a total of 3 hours at the restaurant which was not my intended goal. It’s very clear this manager has no sense of professionalism. I wasn’t even offered any compensation for the inconvenience they caused me and my family. If you can’t be like the other locations please shut down. When you over sell your reservations it not only affects service and expectation, but this time it affected the food because is rushed. The cheese fondue was literally a bowl of grease. The churros were practically like eating greasy potato chips because they were so over fried. To automatically be paid 20% gratuity for awful service isn’t sitting right with me.

   The food isn’t worth the cost. Place is great if you want to have drinks and nice pictures, service is great, food is average at best.

    Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience. Service was top notch. Atmosphere was a whole new level with the fire dancers, live music and multiple menu items being lit on fire! The food was delicious and we enjoyed everything we ate. The only negative is they include gratuity for all parties, not just larger parties. Look at your bill carefully or you will end up paying more gratuity on top of that because they still print the suggested gratuity amounts at the bottom of the check even though they already added gratuity to your bill.
